I can't believe the writers feel Chad is a character important enough to bring back. And with EJ leaving, and Kristen's return only being short-term, they expect us to believe Chad is going to head the DiMera empire? It's laughable.

If they need a DiMera influenced person for Abby, then bring on a never before mentioned son of Peter Blake. The story will write itself.

Fan of EJ+ABBY!

He does look like a good fit for Days.., handsome fellow that seems to be able to act.
I think he would be a good Chad if that is role on Days.

Just wanted to say that he most definitely is no EJ DiMera.. but I hope he can establish the character to become an interesting character. The old Chad was a bit flimsy... cute but yeah not at all what I expect from a DiMera .. but hopefully they will give him some more to work with. I was hoping to see more of a brother relationship between EJ and Chad. Maybe we will get some before EJ leaves... better yet, I hope EJ returns someday to challenge NuChad.

Wait, he's 29? No wonder he looks too old to be Chad and old enough to be Shawn. If he is Chad, I wish Days had waited a few more years before casting someone that old.
Well, Casey is 27. +2 years is not a big deal. And I definitely wouldn't say that 29 is "that old" ;) .

LOL, I didn't mean that 29 is "OMG, ancient!" or anything, in general; it's just several years older than Chad was supposed to be. CD looked maybe 23 or 24 and he probably could have continued to play younger for a few years. This guy looks his age now, and he'll probably continue to do so as he gets older, so it ages Chad a lot, putting him into the the age range of Shawn, Belle, Philip etc. I just think Days should have hired someone in their early 20s or someone who could convincingly play younger.

I would have been perfectly fine with never seeing Chad again.

Over at Strange and Beautiful (EJabby fan board) we've been speculating that this is the new Chad. Even before his autograph showed up on this script, his social media accounts made it seem like he had joined Days (he's following everybody). Someone commented on one of his instagram photos a few months ago that they were looking forward to seeing him on Days. http://instagram.com/p/lF6nqrEKIm/

(scroll down the instagram comments to see it):

The post is that he was on Hawaii Five-O --
but then it says further down ...

Funny how when I went to look at all the Days references on instagram, they're not there anymore.

Ha. Too late. Already posted here :)
I can guarantee you that word-for-word that's what it said.
The first part "cannot wait to watch this episode" probably referred to the episode of Hawaii Five-O that BF posted a pic of.
and then "every single episode of "Days" when you're on it." is self-explanatory.
I should've made a screencap!

I don't even know why we had an original Chad. I certainly don't know why they felt the need to recast.
Seriously!!!! :shrug:

I found a cached copy on another site that reposts instagram stuff ....

timestamp: 03/03/2014 01:37:02pm
Was this the week that his Hawaii Five-O episode aired?

======================
His original instagram post had a pic of him wearing a yellow tank top (not the one I just posted -- but another pic).

He said:
"tune in y'all and see a how a real man rocks a tank top and awkward tan. #h50"

comments

@kelencoleman: when is it?

@mandellylace: @inlikebillyflynn @kvanderlady the only reason i'm watching is because of that yellow fricken tank top.

@mrsgonzo41214: gooooo bill!!!!

@auntydoll: hip hip hooray! xx

@digitalhammer: @inlikebillyflynn billy, i honestly cannot wait to watch this episode and every single episode of "days" when you're on it. congrats buddy. hope to see you next time you're back in minneapolis.

@inlikebillyflynn: @digitalhammer thanks buddy. i'll be home in two weeks. let's get together.

@digitalhammer: yep.

@pitchyperfection: wait what? you're gonna be on days too?

I posted that to a temporary tinypic -- don't know how long that will stay up -- you might want to grab it and save it somewhere more permanent.

Hopefully somebody has a screencap of the original instagram post.?

If Days had him sign this script then I think it's obvious they aren't really worried about having his name out there. This isn't like JL's slip on GW (though wasn't so much a slip as she said it outright) nor GV's pic of JL. Presumably this came from someone working behind the scenes and many people probalby saw this before it got out.

When you read and scroll the page it's like Brady/Kristen/Brady/Kristen/Brady. For a minute I thought, my eyes were seeing things :laugh: . (You know I'm not complaining don't you? :D )

Re: Chad. It looked like they didn't know how to write for the character at least for a year before CD left. I guess, now they just need a character to replace EJ. Even their call sounded like they were looking for EJad.

I will not complain one time if this new Chad is NOTHING like the old Chad. They can be the same person, but I need a totally rebooted character. Chad sucked and was pointless. I could think of probably 30-40 characters I would rather have than Chad, but I know they are doing this to try to keep some sort of DiMera presence on the show.

I see no reason to keep the Dimera family going.

The Hortons and Bradys are core families. Stefano was just a villain in side plots.

edit to clarify: What I meant to say was: Stefano was originally a villain in some story arcs, but not an ongoing character
Yeah, I miss the extra villains like: Orpheus, Ernest Toscano, Harper Devereux, and Lawrence Alamain. I liked Victor as a baddie too, but I like Victor now too.
