Not sure when this picture was taken (posted yesterday), but still a sweet story about James Reynolds, his wife, and Francis Reid.

Wonderful memories of these 2 actors and beautiful people especially during this 50th anniversary year! When Jim and I got married Frances Reid took us out to dinner and made me feel so welcome as part of the extended Days family that have been so dear in our lives. ⌛️❤️ #francesreid #alicehorton #macdonaldcarey #drtomhorton #LissaReynolds #LissaLayng#jamesreynolds #abecarver #days50#daysofourlives #nbcdays #daysfans#kencorday#FremontCentreTheatre

So she is playing another Hernandez family member or is she just another daughter for Eddie? :)

I agree, especially with Rafe mentioning an aunt in Mexico yesterday.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deepwas brought on by a different, terrible regime - and we don't really know how it'd be handled by this regime.

Nick was done well until Tomsell ruined him. I get the fear, but I'd take the chance without Tomsell or Dena.
I was looking for some information and accidentally came accross the info about new characters that were created on Y&R by Griffith in 2012-2013 and :scared: :scared: it is horrible (did he introduce other major characters besides Tyler and Dylan?). Most of these characters were temporary.

I think, only two of the characters (and the kids) are still with the show - Dylan (because SB is FOJ) and Stitch:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Young_and_the_Restless_characters_%282013%29
Here's my assessment of the new characters brought on by this regime so far:

- Eddie: Underdeveloped character played by a great actor. I actually thought his introduction was fairly good, as he was fire with KDP. I also didn't mind that he was being introduced slowly because that's what we've been begging soaps to for years. However, since Paige's death and his reveal as Rafe and Gabi's father, the story has just totally stalled. I have hopes it'll pick up with Josh's story and the arrival of Mama Hernandez.

- Lani: A dud. A total dud. The actress has virtually no charisma, and she often comes across as a glorified extra. I thought she had some promise when she was introduced because I thought she was going to tie into Ben's time in FL, but nope! A missed opportunity, IMO.

- Fynn: Another dud. I don't know if I place all the blame on the writers for this one or not since I feel like they were "forced" to write for him as a contest winner.

- Deimos: In many respects, this character is in the same spot as Eddie. Great actor, but the writing is underdeveloped and weak. Since he showed up when Dena seemed to be in full control, though, I have some small hope he'll get better.

- Summer: Too soon to tell.

I feel like I'm missing someone, but maybe not.
I agree with your assessments.

I'm still bummed they didn't take advantage of AM and KDP's amazing chemistry.

Based on that audition video, I can't help wonder if Chad was originally supposed to be part of Lani's introduction/story and that got scrapped because they went all in with Chabby. Or do the scripts for those auditions mean nothing?

That means we will have a total of 7 members of the Hernandez family on screen soon.

I don't even hate Rafe but that's CRAZY.

It's particularly crazy because, of all those family members, only Rafe has really reached front-burner status, and, even then, he has not been in a wildly successful pairing. Safe comes closest, but it was never supercouple status. Gabi has been in a few major stories, but I'm not sure the focus was really on her. Killing Nick storyline had Sami and Kate; the Daysaster had Melanie and Chad; and Ari's birth was more about Will and Sonny.

Compare that to the Bradys, which had eight family members in Salem in the 1980s, counting Frankie and Max. By the time they reached that number, four Bradys were in supercouples.

I have to believe that expanding the Hernandez family is the show's attempt at add more racial and/or cultural diversity to the canvas. And on principle, I'm more than okay with that.

For me, it all depends on how the family is written and what kind of story they receive. They have some solid talent in AM, CB, and even GG (when he gets decent writing). JV has a lot of soap experience, so I think he has the potential to make Dario interesting. The other two telenovela actresses -- not sure yet. Telenovelas are traditionally way OTT, but that doesn't mean that the actors and actresses can't tone it down to a level more appropriate for American soap operas.

My only major worry is that it'll become the Rafe Show.

I think it's their plan to have more Latino characters on the show.

Those scripts mean nothing a lot of the time. With everything going on with Chad at that time, it's hard for me to believe he was suppose to be a part of her introduction.

Ximena has 5 million followers on FB. She's popular and well loved and I think Days was smart to cast her to try and draw a bigger audience especially with renewals being yearly now.

There has been nothing stated that she is a Hernandez or even related to the family. It's possible she may be a nurse helping to care for the ill aunt in Mexico. Maybe mama Hernandez convinces her to come to Salem? Mama Hernandez has had her own health issues mentioned multiple times.

Diversity can only add to the show and I look forward to the stories Josh creates for this family as they become more established in the fabric of Salem.
