Let's cut Dena. I can't BELIEVE Ken Corday has done it again. He may mean well, but he always manages to do the wrong thing. I'm beyond pissed. |

I whole heartedly agree with you but it seems that the only people they want to expand and write for is Hernandez. What about Abe bring Brandon back. How bout a love interest for Abe? |

Maybe Mama Hernandez could be Abe's love interest? |

I am probably one of the least informed posters when it comes to things BTS, costs, etc. But I know what I like and do not like: Of course MY dream is the budget is big enough to talk PR into occasionally showing up for a Bo story.....(no one is ever dead on a soap) and if the budget could fly him in for short stints, I would be happy. In fact, in my (fantasy view) the shows would do better by following the Novella (six week story format....at least that was what I read they were). A story arc beginning, climax and end.....so people like PR could live wherever, work the weeks needed...etc. I would then propose keeping these characters together for short stints: The VETS of the Bradys (Johnsons), Hortons, Kiriakis, Carvers driving story......(with ample others for interaction as needed); then when they are off, the younger Bradys, Hortons, Kiriakis, Blacks, Carvers driving the story; another round with the in-betweens: Brady, Nicole, Rafe (if they must), Shawn, Belle, Phillip. I am sure I am missing some but my gist is this.... If a character like Bo, or any other vet actor, has an established presence for a short stint, then it is easier to write them as there, but not, when supporting other stories. I don't know if that is cheaper or not but it seems to me it could be, if veteran actors especially work on shorter contracts. Even the mid actors and younger ones could use the time to do other stuff without interrupting things. As a viewer I would not be as frustrated never seeing the ones I want if I know this is not their cycle. That said if things were kept the same, and I had to cut actors to save money I would start with: **GG...Rafe has had so many leading ladies, lead stories and the opportunity to become THE romantic lead and, to me anyway, it is always a DUD. Unlike some, I do not find him good looking, or sexy. Not ugly or anything.....just not the appeal to me... **EM....re cast Brady. Like GG, EM's Brady has had years and years of being featured and while he is very good looking, he still has the "flat affect" that sends me yawning. IMO whoever decided to dump GV's Eric instead of these other two, leaves me totally confounded. GV is super good looking and Eric is so much more interesting than the other two because GV just has "it". I always like Nicole but if she continues to be the walking, talking, keep shoving Daniel down our throats....no thanks. Have not taken to Theresa or the actor that plays her. I'd cut her or at least back burn her until she is paired better. I like LK but Kate has not evolved at all and if they will not write for Lucas I see no point in keeping Kate. Keep on or put on recurring: JT, PM, JA, SR, I know some of tired of Hope but I would be OK if they had her more with SN, MBE, VJ, and BB. Still cannot believe that tptb have barely allowed us to see her grieving, talking with her son, daughter as a family about their loss and how to go forward. Nothing impacts a family more than the loss of a loved one and families come together to grieve, to support and all we get is Hope and Rafe. Pathetic. I do not like Rafe so building a whole family around him is ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz |

Well if it were up to me I would give the show more money not less. But if cuts must be made I would start with. 1.Fynn he has no storyline what so ever and is mostly used for scene filler than anything else. 2. Lani other than the reveal she that she is Abe's daughter and only interacting with Abe and Theo occasionally she has no storyline. 3 . Theresa never did take to this character too much I would get rid of Caroline's visions that to me has run its course. I would fire Dena HIgley and replace her with a head writer who knows what they are doing and has a clear cut plan for this show someone who knows where their storylines are headed. And understands the history of this show and its characters. Give Rafe a different love interest he and Hope should stay friends but that's all. |

Who'd I'd cut from Days: The Australian version of Daniel. If they wanted to keep Daniel, why didn't they? Why recycle the character, before he's even killed off. the actor is good looking, other then that, I don't get the point of this guy slipping right into where Daniel left off. I don't know the characters name but he's obnoxious. Theresa. She looks like a kid next to Brady, I just can't get into the pairing. The Hernandez clan. I only like the father, I wish they'd boot off Rafe and now they're bringing in another Dario. Like enough of the useless characters when they already have so many as it is. I don't mind Gabi. Lani is another drifting new character. I don't see yet why they decided to write her into the show. What I'd cut: The Nicole in grieving god story: I say that, because you'd think that god died or something, the way she's moaning on and on about Daniel. It's a soap, time for a new boyfriend already. Time to let dr hair boy go. :shrug: |
