The upcoming returns of Lucas Horton, Billie Reed, and Celeste Perrault got me thinking about what characters I’d like to see return to Salem. I actually think the canvas is pretty full right now, so I’m not that eager for them to add anyone else to the cast. But I would like a visit from Carrie’s fugitive mom Anna (I adore Leann Hunly) and I’m very curious about Kimberly and Shane Donovan’s family but I really can’t think of anyone else.

Ignore everything I just said. I would love for Eileen Davidson’s Kristen to come back. But I don’t want to see the other seventeen characters she played, except for Susan.

Why have Leann Hunley and Christie Clark never shared scenes together on the show? That's just criminally ridiculous. The writers need to remedy that ASAP!

Brandon Walker as played by Matt Cendeo. It would have been lovely to have seen him go up against James Scott as E.J. because Brandon was not afraid of no one.

Steven Olsen. He was last played by Steven Schnetzer(Cass Wintrop of Another World, Guiding LIght and As the World Turns). He is Julie and Hope's brother and has never been a good guy. He has lived in Europe most of his life and I would bet 20 dollars he has worked for Stefano before. He could also be the connection between Kate,Anna, Liz Chandler and the Dimeras since someone from Salem surely introduced them to him. I picture that Steven was Tony's roomate at school and was introduced to Stefano that way.

I have a long time NBCer from the day and he's been screaming in my ear since he returned watching Days back in September is Tony & Anna. He's a huge fan of those two, and said Days could figure out a way to make Tony "undead" because Tony adds another element to the diverse family dynamic the DiMera family. Count Antony "Tony" DiMera is opposite of EJ, more like Lexie he said and is Stefano's original child and been on canvas since '81. Shawn could tell you some history going back to Tony & Liz? I think that's her name and if mistaken sorry. He wants to see Tony & Anna, hit town with Carrie being back and Shawn's been saying since he returned is Days should actually make "Chad" Tony's son and an adult grandchild of Stefano which could be interesting. How Shawn described Tony and watching the YT clips of Tony & Anna, I would have to agreed with Shawn. I would had most likely enjoyed this couple very much because of the actors. Thaao Penghlis, I know his work from other projects and he's a hellva' of actor and would be so nice to see this on canvas.

Steven Olsen sounds very interesting, a Horton who stole and smuggled cocaine. There aren't very many of those. Smile

And having been an Another World fan, I would welcome the chance to see Stephen Schnetzer in action again.

I know this one isn't possible but it would be so great if Jo Johnson played by the late Joy Garrett could come back. She was always so great and REAL. Joy was wonderful.

Jo Johnson was such a sweet, long-suffering character. Steve and Adrienne's father was really a monstruos bastard, wasn't he?

I've always thought Michael Learned would make a great Jo Johnson. She gives off that same warm, caring vibe that Joy had. (And she's already played Stephen Nichols mom on Y&R.) Smile

Yes, Duke Johnson was the beast. Wink

Jo as played by Joy was just the best. I used to love when she would call Steve or Jack "Son" & she was in love with Dr. Neil Curtis but he never picked up on it. I always wished they'd gotten together.

Brandon Walker as a re-cast, instead of Matt Cedeno playing Brandon, how about Daniel Sunjata, you should look him up, he would make a perfect re-cast for Brandon, Abe & Fay Walker's son

I know Daniel S. from Rescue Me and other TV shows but had no idea he'd been on AMC.

I think he'd be good as Brandon.

Only if Matt Cedeno was available. Matt did the damn thing in the role. So you only recast if the actor is not able to do the job or bad at the job.

I'd love to hear some beautiful songs from Gloria Loring's Liz Chandler again...and her daughter, Noel, could be a rising star ala Idol or The Voice!

I think it would be great to have Liz back! Maybe she could come to town with the opening of the new Doug's Place and sing there on opening night and decide eventually to settle down. There is some bad blood between her and Marlena and also between her and the Dimera's so I can imagine that she could mix it up with the old crew! Plus having Noel back gives us a new younger (30) woman to mix it up!

I just read that Charles Shaughnessy is coming back as Shane. I really hope that isn't temporary and that Kim comes back too.

Now Kim and Shane were something special. Between Shane's affiable British self and Kim's craziness, I was in love! Outside of Roman (Northrop only), Kim is my favorite Brady.

In my alternate fantasy Days, the residents of Salem have all been brainwashed into believing that Chris Cositchek (also brainwashed) is Roman Brady. One day it will wear off and the real Roman, who never had a thing with Kate, will turn up to steal Marlena back from John, while taking a more active interest in his daughters's lives. Smile

LOL I would actually buy that story! Usually when a character is recast for this long (Josh has played Roman WAY longer than Wayne did or even Wayne and Drake put together!) one gets over it, but this is one recast that I have never fully accepted. But then I blame alot of this on the writers. They wanted John to win Marlena, and so they simply gutted the character of Roman to make him the less desirable catch!
