If they're going to slash the budget by cutting down on wardrobe, I'd be fine with them eliminating the shirt budget for GV, BF, and EM. Keep GV and just start leaving these three shirtless. If necessary, their "pants budget" can be eliminated too... |

I know it is just a drop in the bucket from a budgetary standpoint but seriously we don't need photos of Dan. That costs money! And photos of other dead salemites should be saved for very special occasions. I don't need to see Bo and Roman on Kayla's mantle every time they are in the house. That crap adds up. |

The stuff Marlena is wearing is more than likely expensive, as well. :-/ |

Less characters in an episode, more than 5 minutes airtime for each character would save them some money. |

I would be totally in favor of this plan. Some of my favorite episodes since the new regime have had six characters or less. Longer scenes would also allow characters to have actual conversations and play out beats without making it feel so rushed. Edited by cord08, Feb 15 2016, 03:12 PM.

I am hoping that when Eric and Ava are gone, they never return. I would get rid of Lani (make it that she isn't really Abe's but has been working for a bad guy and the whole back story is a lie) Justin and Adrienne need to go. Kate needs to go. I hate to say it but Caroline needs to go and one of the younger characters can take over the pub. Fynn needs to go. And Roman can go and I wouldn't be sad. Unlike some posters I think it is great to have the Hernandez family expand. I also would like to see Abe get a bigger story and a girlfriend or new wife. Poor Abe, he is an eligible bachelor and he deserves more. |

I would cut Maggie, Fynn, Jennifer & Kate. Have that new Summer chick go cray & off them. ;) If they can't/won't spice up Lani, then Summer can kill her too. |

I wouldn't cut anyone because these characters all have fans so there would be someone disappointed. What I'd do is improve the stories. |

I don't like any of the new characters that have been brought on and feel that they do not add any value to the storylines. I would cut these characters: Fynn Lani Summer If Ava isn't leaving anytime soon, then I would also cut her too. I would also put the following characters on recurring: Kate Roman Abe Caroline Andre I also think Lucas should be on full time, so give Bryan Datillo a contract. |

Well, Ava is the only one I'm watching for. When she leaves, I leave. |

In light of the Griffith news, I have some new thoughts on who might be out. I think the DHs are in the most precarious position at this point. They're expensive, Dena doesn't seem to want to write for them, and the show has fired them before. Those are three huge strikes, IMO, and barring Corday stepping in to "save" them, they could be out. SN and MBE are in a similar position, however, Dena does write for them. It's just that the stories are crap. And as much as MBE and SN may not like some of the stories, I can't see either of them walking away. It's a steady job in an industry where steady jobs are hard to find -- especially at their ages. SN also has to know that if he walks, he's pretty much screwing over MBE (unfortunately). AM and VI are in a weird position because even though they seem to be Griffith creations, they're part of families (Hernandez and Kiriakis) that Dena seems to like writing for. They are, however, expensive newbies (for Days), and I can see them being given pink slips. JA, PM, SR, JT, JR...I think they're still safe. Hell, JR might get some more airtime since Dena seems to like writing for the Carvers. GG and KA are safe. As for everyone else, it feels like a toss up. :shrug: |

At the moment I would cut Belle I can't stand her. |

Every Hernandez that is not Gabi should go. This is not telenovela. Fynn Flynn whatever he should go. Theresa and Brady need to go. |

After yesterday's "Big Bulletin" I'd let Dena Higley go, or however you spell her name. What a crock. |

My own family is a palette of ethnicities and accents. I think it is wonderful that the show is adding more variety to the residents of Salem. (Of course you have the right to not feel the same way, I am just expressing my opinion.) |
