If the Days people that check the board don't log in they're getting updated every few posts in this thread when it comes to how many dislikes the first post has received.
Lol, I'm trying not to check the dislikes because it'll make y'all take my buttons away again and I need them.

But seriously, a good amount of the problems with this show go back to Melanie. For example:


  • The depletion of the 20 something legacy characters. Why is that? Because they were all DESTROYED to serve a higher power--Melanie. Stephanie, Philip, Nick, Chelsea, even boring as paint Nathan were destroyed at her altar. There aren't any 20 something characters because they were all destroyed to benefit her and their portrayers peaced out. A lot of people say it's because they were young actors and sought better things, but I really believe that some of them saw the writing on the wall and were fed up with what their characters had become. Even if they had kept some of these characters on, there was no way to fix them because they did such a good job of making everyone else pathetic while Melanie got to shine. There's no reason for Stephanie and Philip not to be on this show right now. That's what bothers me the most. There's no reason that Steve and Kayla's kid should have been sacrificed for a made up spawn of Carly and Dr. Dan. The same especially goes for Kate and Victor's kid. There's no way Philip Kiriakis should have been checking for her.

  • The Jonas problem. Everything around this show revolves around Daniel and has since around the time they announced that Melanie was his daughter. Daniel was a big part of the show for awhile before that, but once that happened it was done. It was over. Everything was suddenly about Melanie and Daniel and when she left, nothing changed. It's all about Daniel. It's like making him her father gave them license to hand every storyline to him. Not to mention, Maggie has become intolerable since they decided to make them related.

  • Nick Fallon. The loveable geek who broke soap opera stereotypes. Look where he is now. A homophobic, murdering, controlling psychopath. When did that happen again? Oh yeah. When he met Melanie. Again, so much potential wasted in the 20-something age group.



I really hope this is just an ugly rumor because I'd hate to give this show up. It's already pretty intolerable with Daniel but I couldn't handle both again.
I remember toward the end of Rachel Melvin's run she was asked what character she would like to play other than Chelsea. She said Melanie. I wonder why? ^o)

the actress has a certain stage presence and it's more than I can say for some others on this show, so to sum ​​up, I do not care if she comes back or not because I see that the problem is bigger than this character, as ex exciting stories, exciting characters and so on. And who knows maybe she can bring more than like Abby and company do? If I remember correctly, she was well a bad girl in the beginning? Or?
Melanie was fine as the bad girl. She was tolerable. And I think she could be tolerable again but unfortunately, the show runners don't seem to know how to use their favorite characters in moderation. If she returns she will be overused and when she isn't being used, the other characters will use their scenes to talk about what is happening with her character and how great she is. I knew I was done when Victor Kiriakis started singing her praises. Victor shouldn't be praising anyone, ever.

I will say this about Molly Burnett though--I really appreciate her role in getting the Days actors and actresses on twitter. We didn't see many tweets or behind the scenes things from them until Molly started to encourage it and if I remember correctly, she taught some of them how to tweet. So there's that.

Honestly, I think the outrage won't help. It might do the opposite. I'm sure TPTB wants the fans to be passionate about the characters, it doesn't matter if they hate them as long as they talk about them.
If all the people outraged quit watching, campaigned against her returning and the Jonas Domination of Days maybe we could get through to TBTB, Sony and NBC that we mean business. There's info in the Social Media thread to use to get the ball rolling but just a few people doing it probably won't make a dent. I've been scared the Days anniversary will be ruined with Jonas taint since Daniel is the one character everyone must have on their mind in some way 24/7. It's awful and if Melanie returns the two of them may just eat the show alive for good.

Lets get a twitter bomb going. I honestly think it helped with the Eileen return in 2012.

This is probably not even true , probably speculation because all the exits. The only people I want back on this show are Phillip, Chloe, Shawn, and Belle.
It's not speculation.
Yeah, unfortunately for some of the fans, when DC posts "spumors" about a possible return that they are hearing about it's usually only a matter of time until it officially gets announced.

With Chad coming back I could easily see Days throwing Melanie into a Abby/Ben/Melanie/Chad storyline. Wash, rinse and repeat. There was a baby/toddler casting call a little while back or so. Maybe Melanie or Chad are coming back to Salem with a kid. Maybe I shouldn't put that out there in the universe...
LOL! I thought you were going to say maybe that was Molly Burnett's casting call... :laugh:

I hit dislike because:

1.) This character is NOT needed now ever.
2.) This character dominated the screen when she was on before
3.) This character will mean even MORE screen time for Daniel Jonas and LESS for the Brady/Horton/DiMera/Kiriakis families.
4.) The actress is massively annoying and overrated.
5.) There are about 25 other characters that would serve a higher purpose.
6.) This character was universally despised during her last run.
7.) This character is partly to blame for the mess the show was in before and during MarDar.

Gary Tomlin is CLEARLY back to his old fucking tricks...the show is slowly morphing back into the putrid mess it was before he was deservedly fired a few years ago. If Tomlin wants history to repeat itself again, then yes go ahead and bring this broke ass character back and keep propping this annoying Jonas family to the high heavens...the ratings and critical reviews of this show will be in the toilet once again.
LOVE this!

Even though I am over twitterbombing....I would be SO there for one that ensures Melanie/Molly do NOT return.

I'll be there too. Every character Daniel and Melanie touch they ruin. As much as I dislike Ejami, at least Daniel isn't a part of their storyline. Come to think of it one of the reasons I like Haiden so much (aside from their great chemistry) is they never discuss Daniel.

Spoiler: click to toggle


Molly does seem like a really sweet girl and I maybe could take Melanie in moderation. But I'm really afraid we're going to end up with Saint Melanie of Salem again. If TPTB want to beef up the younger crowd bring back Shawn, Belle, Phillip, and Stephanie instead.

This was my reaction to MB's departure years ago on this site:

The "maybe Molly return train" hit me really hard, so here is my reaction now:

I am an off and on Day's shipper, but with this person's return I am seriously gone...

I'm glad James Scott is gone because if they went with Ejabby, Melanie would be right in the middle.

#SorryNotSorry

I remember that time Days posted a blog on their site called "The Loves of Melanie," and I was like, that's the show.

Stephanie was an entirely different character before Melanie came on the scene. The worst thing was they always wanted to have their cake and eat it too, so they'd have bitchy Melanie making snarky, cutting comments behind her back about whatever ridiculous insecure thing Stephanie was up to that week, and then turn around and be so very hurt when Stephanie would reject the pure gift of her friendship.

We should all be grateful that James Scott has left. You know we would get EJelanie if Molly returns.

I doubt I'll be watching much once JS and AS are gone, but if I was I think I'd rather see MB eat this show alive than KM. I can't even imagine the number of duckface selfies we'd get from those two if she does return.
