We did a thing here a few years ago where we did sort of a count down for our ideal cast. Actually it may have just been last year. Anyway, I said at the time that I bet it would change as time went on, depending on recent story focus. Any interest in doing that again?
Totally! I know Rafe wouldn't even appear on my list last year, but he probably would now. When written properly. :hmmph:

I think everyone has certain characters they find vital to the show, certain they don't. I also don't believe that there's any characters above being fired, like Hope. Jarlena proved that years ago.
I don't think there's really anyone above being fired either (though there are some where it would be considered moronic to, but who still have been)... except probably KA. Because Corday.

He could surprise me, but then... that would also actually shock me.

To me if you have an interesting character and are a convincing actor you are important.

Who you are related to doesn't concern me - See Jeremy Horton, Marlena Evans.
Excellent point! Marlena came on and was related to no one. They didn't insta-family her, they didn't have her connected to anyone in town, they didn't even consider her a long-term character, she just became one. Because the audience loved her and demanded it. That's how it should be.

They've made that less possible with the taping schedule, but still, what that means is that they really need to follow Marland's rules for not forcing a character, as they wait for us to meet the newbie.

As much as it could be a "be careful what you wish for" situation, I could use some BTS stuff to talk about right about now.... Some news about Rebecca Herbst, an Abby recast, Higley being fired (I know, I know)...just something.

Silence is golden. I'm fine with it. Likely only be bad news.

We still have some more returns coming up, so that's always good to wonder about.

A teaser would be fun! Random Trivia on a Thursday

Things to file under "interesting"....

Greg Meng's most recent follow on Facebook is Rebecca Herbst's husband, actor Michael Saucedo....

EDIT: RH does have a FB page. I just couldn't find it. :P

From all the pictures on twitter, I am loving Abby's wedding day look!

Everything is so simple and classic. The veil and accessories are elegant and understated, pearl earrings, her engagement ring and Chad's bracelet. Then there's this vampy lip adding a pop of color.

It all comes together nicely.

I can't wait to see a full shot of the dress. Everything looks great so far.

I would be upset if those actors were fired:

Deidre Hall / Drake Hogestyn
Mary Beth Evans / Stephen Nichols
Kristian Alfonso
Melissa Reeves
James Reynolds
Arianne Zucker
Billy Flynn
Christopher Sean
Camila Banus
Casey Moss (only because of Jabi)

From the recurring cast, I really want the show to keep using Bryan Dattilo, Wally Kurth and Judi Evans.

BTW, I'm still heartbroken over Greg Vaughan. :tears:
I think Greg Vaughan was done a favor he got the jump on a job search. Eric/Jennifer Steve/Kayla Chad/Abby are the only entertaining part of this show and even those storylines have big gaping holes in them. I'm glad it hasn't but the rational part of me wonders how this show hasn't been cancelled!




It looked like from Greg V's side, Days was not taping him fully, that's why he decided to do something else....OR....He had career plans all along, told Days, and they put him less in the scenes.

Same here. From what I can see, the dress looks great.

I was so certain they'd try to do something "quirky" and she would look a mess.

Greg was let go. He got his new gig after finishing Days.

A very slow introduction without a story doesn't help either (eg. Lani, Jordan).

IMO, Lani is a bust because of the actress. I think the way she's been introduced and slowly integrated has been perfect. They just need to recast. And showcase the relationship with her dad more.

With Jordan, her main problem was that they kept hinting at a secret for too long but never revealed what it was until nobody cared anymore.

So I don't think it was the slow integration, it was a matter of different factors at play.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deepshould be.

There are episodes where she has one line and that's it. The actress is a problem, but she's far from the only issue.
