Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
LOL, I just meant that it *should* mean something, but I know it doesn't always, not by a long shot. I would hate to see what happened to Will happen to Abby.

It's true that the 20s scene is a barren wasteland. I think that's why everyone is having such a hard time thinking of someone age-appropriate, besides Gabi or Theresa, to be Chad's new love interest. Like, is there even anyone else in the 20s group?

My mom thinks that's why Melanie's coming back -- though I am praying it is only short-term. To fill the Abby void and pair her with Chad again. BUT... I just...could never go there, I hate MB's Melanie so much. Like I would need to pay someone to brainwash me like Andre did to Chad, for me to accept it.
I thought it was pretty much confirmed that MB's Melanie was just a short visit.

As for other twenty somethings, it is really hard to think of characters who could fill the void that's been created. Many (myself included) have tossed out Stephanie and Chelsea, but as for other possibilities...???

Even though I'm not a Theresa fan, I think they made a mistake not portraying her as more of a twenty something, like she should be in real time. Sticking her with EM's forty something Brady was a mistake on many levels, IMO.
Chelsea is living happily ever after with Max in London. I don't want them to be brought back to be destroyed and broken up like Shawn and Belle / Brady and Chloe. Stephanie yes!! But leave Max and Chelsea alone.

Brady is supposed to be in his 30's actually. I realize he looks his age but EM is portraying mid 30's.
Well, thirty something or forty something, Brady does seem to age Theresa too. (Her childish actions aside). And yes, I know JL is in her thirties, but I think she could have pulled off late twenties if put more into that orbit.

I hate Max and Chelsea together. It always creeped me out that if the 2 got married Bo's daughter would be his sister-in-law.
Well since Chelsea wasn't raised as a Brady and they didn't grow up together it never really bothered me.

I always loved Chex since the beginning, so I was happy when they got back together late 2008 and left Salem together.

I was thinking Shawn and Theresa cause he's a lot younger than Brady but then I remembered they were related :blulaugh: Salem is a complicated place to date!! Especially when almost everyone is related. I always liked JJ and Theresa but I don't see that happening ever again.

If they don't recast, I'd love to see Rachel Melvin come back. Bring Darin Brooks and we have a Max/Chelsea/Chad thing.
I think Darin is currently on B&B.
Yes, he plays Wyatt Spencer and I really enjoy him.
B&B is pretty good right now, very soapy, you should give it a chance.

I think Brady is early 40's.

Chad/Belle definitely felt like groundwork to me for Abby leaving, but there's also the Shawn/Chloe/Belle/Philip situation on the horizon. It seemed like they were doing a little testing of Theresa/Philip as well the other week (and I liked it). Given that Brady has history now with both Theresa and Chloe, I wouldn't be surprised to see all of these older-than-teen-scene characters more or less in one big dating group. The odd ones out here seem to be JJ and Gabi.

"Although Mansi has finished taping, look for her to remain on air through at least May."

At least? What does that mean?
They taped a lot of June before the break, so depending on when she left, she might last air in May or June.

Let me ask the the Chabby fans out there , could you handle KM leaving better if you knew Chabby would continue? Maybe not right away but a couple months down the line maybe around November sweeps?
I'm heartbroken over the news that Kate is leaving because I've come to really love Chabby 2.0 with Kate and Billy portraying Chabby and right now can't see anyone else filling those shoes. I've been waiting for years to see a couple with this kind of chemistry grace the daytime scene. For me to get invested, I need to see chemistry in a couples very first scenes together otherwise I'm not buying it. Chabby 2.0 did that for me and brought me back to Days and to soaps in general. That being said, yes, I can handle KM leaving better if I knew right now that Chabby would continue. I just love the story they've been given and want it to continue. With the exception of the brainwashing crap, they've been given some of the best writing compared to other couples on the show, Thrady for one.

Ugh I hate going there but it does make me wonder if that's why they did the Chad/Belle stuff!? Could they be planning on revisiting it down the road!? I hope not!!!!
I'm definitely not opposed to Chad having a new love interest down the line, but I wasn't crazy about Chad/Belle. They have more of an older-sister-younger-brother vibe, in my opinion, than a romantic one. But who knows.

Thank god Melanie's return will be brief! I can't with her. And yes with Theresa -- when she first came on the show, she was portrayed more in the younger group, with JJ and crew -- and she read as being younger. I kind of wish they'd kept her in that sphere, as well.

But... Maybe the casting call that everyone thought was for Abby could be a recast? Like Stephanie or Chelsea? Or it could be someone new. It does have the ring of someone who will probably end up in Chad's orbit, and I do think they're going to be looking to fill the Abby void.

I feel like all these groups are merging together. Ok so let's see

Teens - Joey, Chase, Theo, Ciara and Claire

Early 20's - JJ, Gabby, Paul (Sonny & Will)

Mid-Late 20's - Chad, Abby, Theresa, Melanie

Early-Mid 30's - Shawn, Belle, Philip, Chloe

Late 30's/Early 40's - Brady, Nicole, Eric, Sami, -- this confuses me cause Brady is not supposed to be the same age as Sami & Eric!!!

Options for Chad: Theresa, Gabi, Lani, Belle, Chloe, Nicole but it will probably be "Val", we'll see if she's a Abby recast or not.

I'm just going to put it out there I hope the casting call they had a few month back was for a Abby recast. I don't think I should have to lose Chabby because Kate wants to move on, afterall as much as I like KM IMO Billy is the strongest link in that pairing.

They've still got Paul in that group (and 19year old Joey?). At the risk of sounding like a Sonny stan, I feel like the most obvious answer is to recast him. He's already got ties to everyone in that group and there are simple ways for him to return.

(Also, both Stephanie and Chelsea would be early to mid thirties so if the show brought either one back they'd still be lacking in a 20s group.)

I want Chabby to continue. I'm not sure how I feel about a recast yet. I'm hoping KM is open to returning and might rethink her decision several months down the road.

Not months years!! I feel like she may want to try different things, make some movies, do some primetime tv shows and perhaps later down the road she could be open to returning. I'll miss Kate and Chabby but I'm happy for her and she deserves to see what else is out there and shine a little more. Gain some more experiences, play different roles...etc

I don't see why she couldn't have stayed as recurring basis if she didn't want to sign a contract, especially with Days filming so far ahead.

We don't know if Chabby are ending at this point, just that KM won't be in the role of Abby.
