Have we seen his scene from the monitor and the wig yet?
We must have. It was August 31

Has Steve worn that?
It should've either just happened or should be happening any day.
Was that , by chance, from the bicentennial? looks kinda like kate's wig lol

That may have limited their screentime but I don't think that is why they've been pretty much MIA. Your right there is alot going on but I think we would've seen them a bit more often and maybe involved with some of the other things going on but the show just was reluctant to give them too much focus because they knew CB may not be staying for long. There is also CM to consider. I think he probably has a year left on his contract so there is that to consider.

I mean, these are two characters in their 20's and the show is all about younger characters so there is no way I buy them not giving them more to do no matter how much is going on unless they are uncertain about the future of the actor (s). That is the only thing that makes sense IMO.
You most likely have a better handle on how these things work than I do, so I'll take your word for it lol. Casey has another year on his contract. Camila's is up when they get back to filming I believe.

I don't want to pick on anyone (I'm lying), but I do think the show went too heavy with the Victor/Caroline/Maggie stuff and they still are.
I feel like these writers just have favorites that they write for to the point of ignoring other characters. Both Josh and Dena focus on their favorites so that a lot of characters like Eric, Lucas, Adrienne, Justin, Gabi, and JJ are rarely on as they are not the focus of the stories the writers want to tell. I do agree that Gabi and JJ should have more focus as a young, 20 something couple and the fact that Camila Banus only signed a contract for a year should not make a difference. As others have pointed out, Bo, Kristen, and Melanie had stories for even shorter periods of time.

Somehow there was lots of Melanie stuff (and even stupid Brelanie) even though MB had only signed for 6 months.
One year is enough to write a solid storyline - Tomlin/Whitesell did it with ED/Kristen.
Oh, and PR/Bo got a decent 3-month storyline.
As Lysie said, she never really had her own story. She just slid into an already existing one and was the catalyst to resolving the Tate mess. And the whole Brady/Melanie romance was nothing more than setting all that up and required no buildup whatsoever because the two were already best friends so all they had to do was give them a few weeks where they were vulnerable and grew even closer.

And Kristen was a very open ended kind of thing. Even they wrote it suggested it. She basically had two story arcs. Yes, the first one basically built up the second but they could've just wrote her out after the first 6 months if they wanted to. They went ahead with the second story arc and then wrote her out. She went back to Y&R and that was that. It could've been more if things played out differently and it did end up being more in the form of two more short returns. But, here's the thing. ED is a soap actress. The only thing keeping her from staying on Days is another soap gig, likely at Y&R. Even then, she can do both soaps if things work out. CB is different. She is an actress who likes Days and is willing to return but, if other projects arise, she is pretty much out. The show knew that going in. She signed for a year and they knew the chances were likely strong that it may be all they have her for. I'm not saying they couldn't do more with her. They could've. However, they decided to link her to JJ and build up the pairing, which IMO was a big mistake given you have no idea where she will be come Fall. Your going to build them up only to have her leave and it be a waste of time. It accomplishes nothing, really, unless they use their breakup or however they end up separating to propel story for JJ but even then CM's contract is running out soon too and that is another difference. You have two actors in this pairing who may not be around on this show much longer so I can buy the show being reluctant to invest. If they knew CB was staying beyond a year, then I could see pairing them but pairing them under the current circumstances was just dumb to be. But, considering they did it, I get why we barely see them. They are just fluff. Filler. Maybe that changes soon but I highly doubt they do much because it's clear the show feels there is no sense and making them an important cornerstone. Not when one or both actors may not be around in the not so distant future. That is what Days does. Whenever they suspect (or know and just don't say anything) that a young star or stars is leaving, they become filler and their airtime is scarce. The difference here is CB was brought back so it sticks out more but it isn't the first time Days has done this.

There's a close-up of the wedding dress from the SID cover - on the spoilers week of March 7th thread.

Will Gabi and JJ get an actual story? That's the real question.

Hmm. He kind of makes it sound as though there aren't a ton of Steve/Hope scenes on the horizon. I could be interpreting his comments incorrectly, though.

Who? Kristen?
I guess it depends on the definition of the term "story" we use. The criteria to see something as "a story" can differ depending on that.

Either way if we compare the writing for Kristen (2012-2013) and Gabi (2015-2016), it's obvious that it is possible to do much more with a character in a year than they they've done with Gabi so far (it might change soon, though).



I was under the impression they expected Eileen to stay and that her leaving caught them off guard. Maybe that was just an assumption someone made.
Technically, they have to know that every actor can decide to leave at the end of their contract (be it because their contract negotiations go south or for any other reasons).
Eileen said she had a clause in her contract which allowed her to leave after her first 13 weeks, so they knew she wasn't sure whether she wanted the role long-term or not. But when she stayed they very likely had plans for more than one year for Kristen (I guess, they had a WTD story planned).

Yes. And she got so much bad press and fan criticism for being fat that I am surprised she didn't quit the business.

no but as she's gotten older she's had her way to thin moments...

At one point her beauty seemed to fade, it's made a return...In that pic, at that time, she was so beautiful.

KA looked beautiful when she was pregnant in real life. I don't think she's looked better than that.

True, but Hollywood has very unhealthy standards, and unfortunately, the majority of women in the business take unhealthy, drastic measures to conform to them, despite their constant protestations to the contrary. :whistling:
