Other than the height, none of this description sounds like Chad to me. Men want to be him, really?
I agree! The only way this could be less like Chad is if it were a casting call for a woman. Unless they are totally remaking the character and just keeping the names and relationships, there is no way this is for Chad.
If James does in fact leave, I think Chad could be brought back as a more mature, business savvy character who will take EJ's place in the DiMera family. Someone will need to establish the DiMera presence in Salem and it won't be Joe because he's not on that much.
There only reason to bring Chad back only for ejabby storyline.there no point to bring if ej leave Chad was not really noticeable character.
IA. IIRC, durig one of their DOD interviews both AS and JS said something about Chad being needed. With what's going with EJabby, their comment certainly makes sense. I mean what a betrayal. Chad saves EJ's life, only to have him seduce the woman he loves. Plus, another DiMera is certainly needed on canvas. EJ with Sydney and Johnny is not enough. And I'm quite sure when Sami leaves the canvas, she'll be taking those little DiMeras with her. So that will leave EJ basically alone, as Kristen's return will be temporary, and Stefano is used on a limited bases. My vote is Chad is the recast, because yeah, EJ is not a good man deep down, but I would say that certainly fits Chad.

ETA: Wanted to add, based on the show, Chad is a savvy businessman.

Alex Kiriakis would be fine. He'd give Sonny another member on the canvas and he's not related to Abby or Jeannie.

Andrew for Abby! Theresa discovers EJabby's affair, she blackmails Abby, Andrew returns, Abby and Andrew fall in love, Theresa's plan falls apart. It would solidify Abby & Theresa's little rivalry.
They already brought in someone new for Abby.
We don't know if the other one was for Abby.......that was just speculation. The other actor who just got cast could be there to cause angst for Wilson.
Could be, but the script that was shown in the rap video has Abby, Ben, EJ, Eric, Hope, Jennifer, Kate, Lucas, Marlena, Nicole, Roman & Sami on that day. Not sure how he fits in with any of these characters if he is Wilson angst.

Abby and Alex should have been raised as cousins. No more adoptasex, please.

I really hope this is for Andrew Donovan. It would be nice if one of Shane and Kim's kids is a good person. Plus, the description of the character reminds me of early Shane. But if not Andrew, Alex could be interesting. Not really interested in a Chad redux at this point.

Abby and Alex are cousins. If they cast him, I hope they don't pair them together. Its icky when soaps do that. When Sonny first came to Salem, it sounded like him and Abby were very close, which means the Kiriakis boys interacted with their Deveraux cousins, which means Alex and Abby were raised as cousins.

It's really strange that Abby and EJ didn't have a single conversation about how EJ feels about sleeping with the girl Chad loved. EJ should be at least showing some guilt.

About Chad's business savvines, the show never showed him to be that savvy. He just went with Sonny's ideas and it always seemed like the coffee and the club were Sonny's ideas. Chad didn't even know about the investors. All he did was fill in the hours. I think even Chad said to Stefano when he congratulated him about the success of the club, that it's was all due to Sonny's efforts.

No matter whose idea it is, you have to be savvy enough to see the profit potential and agree to be an investor. Not every savvy businessman gets involved in developing the idea, they just have to recognize it's a good idea and capitalize on it.

As for EJ, if JS stays and if the casting call is actually for Chad, I think the closer it gets to his air date his name will be brought into the conversation. Plus, EJ's primary thought has been to protect Sami, so at this point Chad in relation to Abby isn't even a blip on his mind.

I'm adopted so I'm not blood-related to any of my cousins and I wouldn't think of hooking up with any of them. It's a little creepy.

EJ recast.

Negotiating tactic from NBC to show JS they mean business.

Or a recast for Chad, however, if so, it should be in addition to EJ, not as a replacement.

My uncle has an adopted child and he raised two step children from childhood. I think of them as my cousins. We played together, attended family events together, and we were raised as cousins. Non of us will think about dating each other.

I think soaps undermine adoptive relationships all the time. They have adopted siblings and cousins date and once a biological parent shows up, no matter how old, the children forget about the adopted parents. Look at Dan, supposedly raised by loving parents, yet he calls a woman he first met when he's in his 40s, mom.

The only portion of the post I disagree with is the part about EJ seducing Abby.It's not really playing out that EJ seduced Abby but the principle would still be the same from Chad's point of view,i.e.EJ is cheating on his fiancee with the woman Chad loves.Maybe they are changing Chad back to what the original concept for him appeared to be,that he is a DiMera in name only.
I noticed yesterday Stefano was using Chad's name to make headway with Kate.I really liked the Stefano/Kate conversation in Wednesdays episode with her telling Stefano that he has never known how she has really felt about anything and asking about Cecily when he started talking about when they had been married and Stefano in turn asking her about Rafe.I liked that she told him she doubted what he was saying,the dinner was off the table Chad or no Chad then snatched her scarf and walked out the door.This is the Kate I know and love.

Maybe JS negotiations are not going as well as planned and they want to see what alternatives they could have in "that range" (like Y&R did with Billy Miller).
Why would they regress EJ back to the 25 - 32 age?

It's pretty savvy getting yourself a business partner who does all the work.

I don't actually think it's EJ, but if it was, I can see how the regression would make sense, especially if Sami takes the kids with her. They need guys in their late 20s/early 30s way more than they need guys in their late 30s. It would give them flexibility in pairing him with women in both their 20s and 30s.

I'm just wondering why the 6' tall. That would be either to replace someone who's 6 feet, be a relative of someone tall, or be opposite a very tall actress. I don't think they have a very tall actress in that age range, do they? So that may point to it being a DiMera.
That part of being a good man with a heart of gold doesn't sound like a DiMera though.

EJ's character is fluid enough as it is. Potentially de aging him by 10 years when he's previously been tending to play the character older than he is will be destabilising.

If they are recasting EJ - Have Sami shoot JS EJ and leave him dying on the pier and Stefano's masked minions can come in and take the body and he can be rejuvenated robo john style.

Alternatively have them find out the EJ they've been working with wasn't the real EJ after all - Susan managed to outsmart Stefano with Alice's help and this is the real EJ.

Sami can be devastated because the man she couldn't accept because he was a Dimera turns out to have never been a Dimera after all, so she valiantly rejected him all those times for no reason.
(apart from the fact that the fake EJ was still a morally flawed ........)

That might work if the character was gone for a while and then brought back with a recast. It would be stupid to suddenly make him younger now.

I hope it's not a potential Nicole suitor. The height thing made me think of her, because I've stood next to AZ and she's nearly six feet tall in her heels.

And I don't want Philip back without JKJ or while Tomlin's on the show. Although, I might accept a recast if his sole purpose for coming back was to give Parker back to his real dad.
