Actors being able to pitch or influence story in any way, as your examples suggest, would also seem to dispute KA's claim that they have "absolutely no control" over the writing. I think that was Lovejm's point, and I tend to agree. There are limits to their influence, of course, but to say none of the actors have any influence seems historically inaccurate. One can split hairs over the meaning of the word "control," but I think that misses the overall point. In re-reading, I may have misinterpreted your response. I guess I'm not sure if you're agreeing or disagreeing with Lovejm. LOL. Carry on... Edited by cord08, Feb 6 2016, 06:34 PM.

I've been wondering if Daniel Cosgrove's return is more about Chase. Maybe we will see in flashbacks that Chase did kill his mother. I just don't see the show I writing the plot of Aiden trying to kill Hope. Haden didn't seem that popular or exciting to viewers. What would make more sense is to skip any romance storylines for Hope for a year and then have her tentatively start something with a new guy. ETA: Didn't the casting call for Chase say that he had a big secret in his past? Edited by jwsel, Feb 6 2016, 06:40 PM.

Isn't the story already that Chase did kill his mother (by accident). That's part of the reason my initial thought on where he should live was with his aunt out of state. I don't believe Chase knows that he killed his mother though. |

The boy saw the comet and he felt as though his life had meaning.

Oh I'm agreeing 100% I'm just saying that their control is limited of course and only certain actors may have clout to pitch something or influence. I'm not sure. KA just complicated herself by responding lol cause the Deidre Hall thing in 1991 is a clear example that actors can influence!! A big chunk on the show changed just to bring her back. |

Well, Deidre was in a serious position of power at the time. She had something they were desperate for (her), and in return she asked for a lot of things (and I believe they gave her almost everything she/her agent asked for, the show was in a real slump at the time). It paid off for both of them. So unless KA used her last contract negotiation to get DC back, it's kind of different because of the money issues now. I think any actor can (and should) try their hand during a contract negotiation, if the show makes it clear they want to keep them or have them back, but otherwise? Because of budget, it seems more unlikely to me. They can probably whisper in producers ears, though (vets/well-respected actors at least), but anything coming of it would probably depend on where that person stands on the issue. I have no doubt she's extremely happy to have DC back though, they were clearly good friends (and it seems like everyone on that set loved him, seems like a fun guy backstage). That said, there was one person they seemed to just hand over power to for years, in some twisted view of "this is our key to success", but that person's left (for now). |

I just noticed that this was tweeted by the twins on their own account. We are used to seeing the parents (primarily the dad Steve) tweeting. So I checked and found this: [twitter=steveudell11/status/693901739292930048] |

Well good for KA. I agree in most cases actors should stay silent to the whims of fan bantering but in this case had she not said anything then the thought put out there that she was controlling things would have carried on. AND the message was sent to Greg Meng, one of her bosses. My perception is that some actors likely pitch ideas. And some writers encourage that thought and others don't. I don't see KA all that well served by Tomsell. She languished in the background most of the time and there was very little story for HAIDEN beyond the dead wife angle. I just think writers have their favorites and characters they like to write for. KA seems to be one currently and why not. She is a vet, unattached, and full of story potential. We'll see about Aiden but many of the returns and new characters seem short term. So I'm not convinced this situation will be any different. I'll bet Andre has a hand in whatever it is to happen as part of his revenge and that to me means Aiden's return is short term. |

I don't care if an actor pitches a story. If the writer's wiling to listen, why not? But the execution counts. A story pitched by an actor or actress...even if it's a good idea...still needs to be well-written to be appealing. The idea itself might be fine...but is the writing on par with the idea, or does the writing take away anything meaningful from the story? |

Just checking out Jordi Vilasuso's (nuDario) Twitter page, and I thought it was interesting that he retweeted these specific tweets. [twitter=Tani_Smith/status/694044845900480512] [twitter=Tani_Smith/status/694044953660493824] |

I'm having a hard time coming up with a reason for it. It's pretty sad that this is Day's big exciting news? Underwhelming to say the least. |

It wouldn't be extremely smart to pair a newbie with a newly recast character but anything can happen. |

I really hope Blanca is for Lucas. I don't think they should pair newbies together. While Dario is not technically new to Salem, JV is a recast for the character. |

I thought the same thing. I also thought it was weird that he'd retweet fan speculation like that. I mean, I don't see why he'd retweet it if it were false, but it'd also be dumb to give away story with a retweet. But, you know, stranger things have happened on Twitter. :P |
