I can see it coming now. With Melanie's return it WILL BE the Jonas hour and I cannot believe I am saying this but when and if that fucking happens I am no longer watching the show. I love DAYS and have for YEARS but that shit is unacceptable. Destroying characters I have loved all for the sake of a character that fucking should NEVER have been given the exposure that he has been. It was one thing when he was in the background and not front and center but they have put him in almost every fucking story so we will get the point that he is now Salem's GOD. Fuck that and fuck Corday for nearly ruining my beloved soap. He may not be the writer but he allowed this shit to happen and condoned it. :flipoff: |

I don't think there's anything wrong with her teeth but I think it's the way she smiles so big like she's 3 yrs old. |

He did? I don't remember that and I gathered EM and MB were close. I do know he joked about it on twitter, but that's it. Anyway, Melanie was ok. She wasn't great, but like the poster you quoted, I enjoyed her scenes with Brady. I felt like they had great chemistry and it was the only relationship she had on the show that didn't seem forced or make me roll my eyes. I liked her just fine and even I got tired of them forcing the Melanie love. It was just ridic, especially towards the end. I know if she comes back, they will do that ish again so I pray they at least give me Mel/Brady scenes. |

By the time Molly left, each and every male was inexplicably falling head over heels for her. It was really quite disgusting. Melanie is the reason why Stephanie became that lame insecure schemer at the end of her run. She didn't just suddenly start to suck one day. The show just kept giving Melanie all of her boyfriends. Then they put her with the younger crowd (where she belonged, although she could have fit in just as well in play dates with Sydney), and then Abigail got the same treatment. I liked the character at first, but then she just became such a ridiculous Mary Sue. I don't remember seeing any characters like Melanie or Daniel, so incredibly unbelievably perfect in every way, so charming! so enchanting! so many beloved, legacy characters completely dismantled and made ugly and malicious just so we can love the Jonas' that much more. I mean, I hated Sami Brady (mostly because of AS acting choices, but also because Sami Brady) but she will leave a hole in the canvas when she's gone and I will miss hating her. I loved her, hated her, my heart broke for her, I wanted to slap her, I wanted to hug her. She did a lot of things to earn those emotions, but what she never did was roll up into Salem and enchant everyone with the wattage of a smile that manages to show every gleaming tooth, front and back. I'll miss Sami when she's gone. I haven't missed Melanie, not for one second. |

After sitting on the toilet that is this rumored news for a day or two now, here's my two cents and a dime if anyone cares. I appreciate Molly Burnett for showing up to work those four years and also appreciate how some enjoyed her as bitchy Melanie, some say they enjoyed her during the end when she was more part of an ensemble story, etc etc. Why am I so opposed to the idea of her return? Because it's not an ensemble show as much as it should be. Allow me, a viewer of 24 years, to like who I want to like and dislike who I don't like. Don't tell me, show me. I give everyone fair treatment. For example, just because I loved me some Carly way back during her first run never meant I'd love her second run because characters change. Let me see what's up and ill either like love or hate it. I'd almost give Melanie a second chance but the reason I don't have the energy to is because this show is all about shoving certain characters down your throat. For example, imagine how far deep we could be in the "Who Is Jordan Ridgeway" never ending story if not for Daniel Jonas! They are intent in not only putting him in stories where his presence is so incredibly not needed and other things sit on a backburner...not even simmering...just sitting. Bringing Melanie back will only continue that cycle and I have no other proof to think otherwise. I'm not hating Molly, I'm hating the fact this show isn't more the ensemble show a soap should be. And I'm beyond over, not only scenes, but literal EPISODES that in essence are Daniel propping. It's a dead horse they keep beating. Bringing her back will only make that worse. When I think on it, there's nothing Melanie could bring to canvas that's needed. I can think of a good handful of folks needed with story this year. Carrie, Belle, Shawn D, Philip, Kimberly, JT even....but nah lets bring back Melanie. I hate this show sometimes man! If she comes back, expect the same old shit. Hell, they threw Carly and VIVIAN under the bus for this nothing character. It's ridiculous. |

When I mentioned earlier in this thread that I never wanted to see the pathetic, insecure version of Stephanie again, I knew that it would only be a matter of time before someone would blame her behavior on Melanie. |

I liked Stephanie and Melanie sucked. Stephanie could've blew up HTS and Melanie could've saved 49 children and I still would like Steph more than that red headed bitch |

Well, it just happens to be true. Or rather, it wasn't exactly Melanie's fault (not like she drugged her or anything), but it was done in the interest of tearing Stephanie down in order to prop Melanie. Stephanie started to suck because she was trying to keep her boyfriends and Melanie apart (even though she was standing in the way of "true love". Both times.) It was lousy enough, and completely unbelievable, with Phillip, but with Nathan just passed completely into the Twilight Zone. FWIW I don't ever want to see that version of Stephanie again either, but I'd 1,000,000 x rather have her back than Melanie. I'd also say that Stephanie is needed and has a place in Salem, and that is absolutely not true of Melanie. My opinions, of course. Silver lining: MB was really good with social media. Much as I hated what Melanie did to the show, MB did provide a lot of bts shots and with just about everyone on the show. They all seemed to like her and enjoy working with her. So there's that. |

Honest to God this show continues to blow. It's almost like TIIC read my mind and are choosing to bring back the characters I least want to see back in Salem. All the comments here on the DR board have been good for a laugh, though. |

I wouldn't mind it if the show hired her to be a social media correspondent or whatever. I mind the show hiring her as an actress because she's just not good at that. |

Okay I have been thinking about this whole MB return & I guess my biggest fear is this possible story line: Mel & Abby as step-sisters fighting over the same guys :frustration: |

I know real days fans I mean long term fans when I read these comments long term fans I call them real fans...we don't like (rafe/Daniel/melanie and have said for years to get rid of Maggie lol) I know the young kids are tomorrows future of the show but I have watched since I was 15 and sami/carrie/Austin were the young kids that were pushed into adult stories and belle/shawn/phillip/mimi were pushed forward I always thought Carrie would be the future lead actress of the show after Marlena had her time...I was shocked when Sami was pushed into this lead and CC was pushed out. I never thought Jen would be paired with some half man half ape person. And was kinda confused as to why Belle would be rushed out with Shawn? so confusing..who made these decisions? and now this freaking horrible character will return and get all the air time with her father who they have odd chemistry together that they could pass as the next Donnie and marie from SNL where they start making out. sorry I hate them both. |
