#1 Kate #2 Hope #3 Chabby #Nicole How about cutting characters and bring back Sheri Anderson! (sorry.... couldn't help it) Anyway.... seriously Chad. Turn to the dark side already! Would love to see a more in-depth story for John and Marlena... you know... John on a dangerous mission and Marlena by his side "helping"! Might sound like a re-do, but they are at their best when deeply involved in danger! I just want airtime! I like Eduardo, Lani and Deimos, but come on Days.... make their stories juicy! Deimos' history with Victor... I have a feeling something very unexpected and shocking is coming. |

Basically my perfect show would be John, Marlena, Carrie/Austin, Sami/Lucas, Eric/Nicole, Belle/Shawn/Chloe/Philip with an assist from : Doug, Julie (A returned David and Scotty Banning), Jennifer, Jack, Chabby, Abe, Theo, recast Lani, returned Brandon, Hope (in a different story), Steve, Kayla, Joey, Claire and maybe 3-4 new (diverse) characters to interact with my main cast. Everyone not listed can go, but I might keep Deimos as the new main villain.

Oh and I completely forgot to list the Hernandezes. I like Eduardo, but if Rafe isn't going to be written this way, the whole family can pay the consequences with him. |

Poor Abe gets the ax twice. ;) I pretty much agree with this list, though. I would also add Fynn and Lani (or at least recast). Since writers seem to be on the chopping block, too, I would cut these script people: - Mark Higley - Melissa Salmons - David Cherill |

My cut list .. Theresa as currently written, I'd keep her if she'd go back to being the troublemaking bitch Fynn Rafe (I don't hate him but I can't stand Rope, and I've yet to have liked any of his pairings) Kate I wouldn't recast Abby when KM leaves Lani Andre Belle Shawn Recurring .. Roman Abe Caroline Maggie I'd bring back GV's Eric |

CUTS: Lani - boring Fynn - Dan Jr. Kate - serves no purpose Brady - severely overused and written as a blithering idiot for too long Theresa - her insta-redemption has pretty much destroyed her and she looks like a 4-year old next to EM Murder Park - enough with the plastic greenery bring back the pier set (either the old one or the newer one used with Lucas/Adrienne) Club TBD - ugly as shit wallpaper, bring back the coffee shop and a nice restaurant set MOVE TO (OR LEAVE AS) RECURRING: Roman, Caroline, Abe, Justin, Adrienne, Maggie FIX THE MESS (or get rid of them): Shawn, Belle, Philip, New Teen Scene Bring back GV as Eric Brady, give BD a contract and move Lucas up into leading man category Stop bringing on new characters with no plan of how to integrate them on canvas - if you are going to spend money on a "known actor" then have some damn clue how you are going to weave them in instead of plopping them down in the middle of HTS like they apparated from Diagon Alley and an instant history and stop making them all related in some fashion (I don't mind that Paul is John's son but it wasn't necessary - they could have bonded over their love of baseball). Don't waste precious location or song royalties money on failed story lines! |

He's so forgettable that I forgot I already got rid of him just one name earlier, lol. David Cherrill was AWFUL during TomSell, but he's actually be pretty good under Griffley. I think I'd prefer a shake up in the breakdown writers. |

I would want to keep a contract cast of about 20 actors. I would cut: Ava Fynn Deimos Theresa Andre Paul Summer Drop to recurring: Kate Eduardo Caroline Abe Maggie Roman Abigail wouldn't be recast. I'd bring back Stephanie instead. |

Brady Theresa Belle Philip Ciara Roman Other than Brady always being a garbage character, the rest are because I have no use for the actors. Of course, I don't think I'd save a penny because I'd want to bring back a million people. Edited by Bright Eyes, Feb 12 2016, 04:38 PM.

Minus Abe, this is my list too. I'd let Nicole stay if they could actually write her better, because I do love her. And also with the addition of Rafe, Chase, Andre, JJ, Eduardo. |

To save $$$ I would Back-burn Hope- She has been on way too much this year & probably one of the highest paid actors on the show. Lose EM's version of Brady, not sure if it is the actor or the writers but since he took over the role but he just adds nothing to Salem. Victor, Maggie & Caroline the whole serum story-line is stupid & they don't seem to use the characters in the right scenes. Example: Kayla being kidnapped, where were Caroline's visions? Roman & Lani can leave they are both a waste of space & I am sure Corday's buddy makes good $ that can be used elsewhere. I don't mind Rafe & Gabi but I don't think we need Dario ( forever tainted by Melanie) & A is being wasted. I hate to say this but LK/ Kate needs to go, I love LK but the writers do her no favors. Edit to add - not a fan of TB's characters on Days whether she plays Ava or Nicole's sister, I don't get her appeal :shrug: plus I am sure she isn't cheap Edited by trojangal, Feb 12 2016, 06:19 PM.

Awww poor Nicole. lol I would definitely keep Nicole and bring back Eric and give them a decent storyline. I love Gabi and I don't mind Rafe but please get him away from Hope. I would cut: Lani Fynn Chase Roman Eddie Ava Edited by DCgirl, Feb 12 2016, 06:30 PM.

Ava is leaving I think, so that leaves another space to pick someone else. |

Brady Theresa Nicole* -If they brought back GV, I'd be okay with her staying. I don't know what else to do with her character. Lani Fynn Eduardo Gabi* -Unless they decide she's a character again, write a personality for her, and give her a purpose other than just standing around and eating frozen yogurt with JJ. Caroline Chase Maggie Victor Summer An Abigail recast is a must for me. :) I also would like them bring back one of Chelsea or Stephanie. I wouldn't mind Max and Frankie too.

If they have to bring in new people, why not legacy offspring-especially from the golden age of super couples? Andrew Donovan, Stephanie Johnson, one of Adrienne's other kids, etc. Man, that would be some good daytime family drama!!! I know you need a few new DNA sources brought in since all of Salem can just about trace their linage to the Hortons or the Bradys. But make them relevant and interesting!!! |

Wow, I agree with this whole post, especially the part in bold. I have NEVER liked EM as Brady. IMO, he is too old for the role and I just don't think he is "Brady". That being said, my cuts would be: Dan the 2nd Lani Rafe Maggie Roman Ava Backburn Hope for the next year. Get rid of EM as Brady and bring a new actor back in about 6 months. |

OUT: Dario - not needed Eduardo - not needed Alma Hernandez(mama) - not needed Fynn - no need for Daniel 2.0 Roman - not really needed, but we all know that's not going to happen, LOL! Ava - her return was useless Summer - no need perpetuating Daniel's memory Ciara - recast Lani - recast Abby - no recast PENDING: Rafe Brady Theresa Kate Belle Philip These all depend on how they are going to be written, because I'm not enjoying them right now. WANTED BACK IN: Eric Stephanie - daughter of Steve & Kayla and same age group as Abby Nathan Horton - replacement doctor and same age group as Stephanie and Chad Will(Chandler Massey) - if it was in any way possible |
