If it were up to me, and I could make cost saving cuts, this is what I would do: Cut characters who are played out. Kate Roberts. Sorry, but being the town welcome mattress is useless. Justin and Adrienne. Granted, they are on very little, but when they are, they are forgettable. Chase Jennings. He is just a prop for other stories and not worth dialogue. Nicole Walker. I know...love for her is rampant on this board. But I could use a long vacation from her and her man troubles. Ancillary characters who haven't lived up to the hype. I'm looking at you Lany and Eduardo! (Which really hurts because I love A Martinez!) What would you cut? |

So agree with you, especially Euroado. As much as I love A. Martinez, his story line stinks. My fav soap ever was Santa Barbara (Cruz/Eden), but maybe I'm too used to A playing Cruz. I just don't get his story line on Days. Also Roman as played by Josh Taylor. What da hell is he even doing and hasn't done anything in years. P. S. Keep Greg Vaughn, my main squeeze. :blulaugh: |

Wally and Judy (Justin and Adrienne) have already been bumped to recurring. They are still listed as contract in the credits due to the tape-to-air delay. Jonathon (Chase) has always been on recurring. Edited by nananana7, Feb 12 2016, 08:40 AM.

I would cut down on Hope. I have been watching for over 30 years and have always liked Bo but I just can't say the same for smugy face. I just can't get into her. I would also bid farewell to Rafe. Belle can go too. Not liking her at all. I would cut down on all the hotel room sets and invest more in the characters houses. |

I'm going to approach this as a dream scenario of who I enjoy on the canvas and who I don't. As much as I'm over Hope, I don't think I'd cut her, but I'd reduce her a/t significantly. One day a week is plenty. Get rid of - Rafe and all the Hernandez they are bringing on, Andre, Phillip, Belle, Shawn I hate to get rid of a whole family of hispanic characters, but I don't think they add anything to the canvas. I would like to see the show work on it's diversity though. I know that's a contradictory statement, but it is what it it. |

Characters: Kate, Lucas, Rafe, Gabi, Mama Hernandez, Roman, Caroline, Anne Milbauer, Brady, Theresa, Justin, and Adrienne. Not to piss anyone off, but those characters are either played out or haven't had a good story in so long they wouldn't be missed enough to matter or just plain aren't needed to begin with (any more Hernandez' would fit into that last category). Sets: Club TBD and Murder Park. But, bring back the Pier (it was back briefly for the 50th) and set up a somewhat fancy restaurant w/a dance floor for couples go on dates to.

Rafe and all his family. It really bugs me that they are bringing on a huge family for an in your face not giving a shit corrupt cop. Cut Hope back to twice a month or so..get rid of Ciara or hire an actress that can actually ACT. Fynn needs to go along with his Daniel fixation..Get rid of Maggie...send her to the nut hatchery..Put Victor on the back burner..way back there..have him sent to a group home for woman hating, foul mouthed pigs. With the Hernandi clan gone they could bring back an ACTUAL ICONIC character..Eric. They could even bring back Kim and Shane! |

Abe, Maggie, Caroline and Roman would get bumped down to recurring. If Lani and the teens aren't recurring, then them too. Andre and the Dimera mansion would be written out. I'm tempted to put Nicole, Brady and Theresa on this list too. |

I agree with you except for Justin and Adrienne. I just love the Johnson's and their story when they found each other back in the 80s really had me glued to my TV. So here's my rather long list LOL: Cuts: Kate Chase Nicole - she just doesn't make me feel anything at all especially her emotional scenes Eduardo - Love A Martinez, but he's not getting any good story Theresa - she just doesn't bring it for me Roman Rafe - he's super handsome and nice to look at, but has absolutely no chemistry with any women on set Hope Fynn Belle - she needs to go and bring on someone new for Shawn Lani Ciara - I need a recast please Phillip - Just bring back the previous one Bring back Eric! For me, I'd love to just make it the Stayla and Chabby show :blowkiss: |

I would cut these characters Deimos Kiriakis-really don't like this guy Kate Roberts-has no place on the show anymore Phillip Kiriakis-don't like Theresa Donovan-hate this character Eduardo Larson-he's hardly on screen Andre DiMera-phase out the DiMera's Paul Narita he has no storyline Lani Price-no potential of going anywhere in my opinion |

Cut: RAFE The rest of the Hernandez clan Fynn Theresa Chase Cut Daniel, too. Oh, he's no longer on the show? I wouldn't know, since the whole town STILL talks about him all the fucking time. |

I would cut: Nicole (only because she's been so isolated/not into her character tho I love AZ's work) Brady (and bring back GV as Eric) Gabi Chase Fynn Kate Deimos (*Ava too but I think she's already gone) Recast: Roman, Ciara, Shawn D, Philip I also wouldn't bother bringing back Chloe Wish they'd stop bringing in new people at all for a while...

I disliked this but I would agree with most excluding Eduardo and Nicole. I personally would stop bringing on shit loads of new characters that just seems pointless and waste full. Belle, I see no point in this character, also dumping Fynn and Roman. I think the Horton Town square needs to be chopped down... Edited by crookedhalo, Feb 12 2016, 02:01 PM.

I love vets but a vet show would not only be boring but also very expensive. Edited by thepadange, Feb 12 2016, 02:08 PM.

Love the ideas! I am going to second the dumping of Brady and Theresa, Roman and the Hernandez clan. Really paring down the cast and giving the core well written stories would bring those ratings up. Oh, and get rid of Club TBD and the multi-use office at the hospital. Let meetings take place in the lounge like they used to! If characters are going to tell on themselves with their monologues, put them in a place to he heard! (Like the pier) |

The excessive background music needs to be cut down. |
