And while it would be nice to see more veterans in the landscape of DAYS, let's face reality: SSH is 71 (and Bill is nearly 90). Peggy McCay (also in her late 80s) was EXCEPTIONAL at Will and Sonny's wedding, but you can't build a dynamic story around old people. Soaps ebb and flow, that's how it works. And while DAYS doesn't have a lot of 40s-ish actors on the canvas, it would be okay with me if Jennifer and Daniel fell down a rabbit hole on Smith Island never to be heard from again.

She could take up where Alice left off. She is great and brings so much to the show. Her personality shines through as Julie and she is great actress.

Keep telling it like it is! So glad to have your voice in the soap community. <br /><br />I find engaging dialogue about soaps as (if not more) fun than viewing. There's such rich history that can be mined in these lifelong serials. Just one of the reasons that makes soap operas such a special entetainment genreJoshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09239622379008070059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-31373469803299223442014-05-12T12:18:25.192-04:002014-05-12T12:18:25.192-04:00Hey Joshua!

There are so many Hortons out there for her to be there for :) Would love to see Sarah Horton back, as well as Jeremy Horton.Michael Goldberg https://www.blogger.com/profile/10147462564348483332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-70538933899885598552014-05-12T12:11:09.194-04:002014-05-12T12:11:09.194-04:00Out of our 4 soaps, DAYS has the most heart AND th...Out of our 4 soaps, DAYS has the most heart AND the most potential. It's hard to lose Nick, but that wasn't up to DAYS. What makes this "murder mystery," different than most, is that Nick was trying to change, AGAIN. If he hadn't been killed, would he have been able to change this time? It takes this story to a whole different level.Michael Goldberg https://www.blogger.com/profile/10147462564348483332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-42665375839508089052014-05-11T19:01:12.287-04:002014-05-11T19:01:12.287-04:00I agree Chip.

Wish they were driving stories.<br /><br />My main problem with DAYS is that I don't find most of the stories engaging right now and, at worst, can't stand anything involving Daniel and/or Jennifer (and they dominate the show.) <br /><br />I wish the EJ/Abigail affair lasted longer (so soapy) and I'll definitely tune in when Eileen Davidson returns.

Just like Susan did. <br /><br />Like Joshua, I am a lapsed Days viewer, having left in September 2012. However, I do check out scenes online from time to time. Not too late to recognize the value of your vets, Days. Oh, and thanks for throwing away another Horton connection for the sake of a cheap story.

I haven't been following DAYS since the faux reveal of EJ/Abigail's affair. I may have to go online and watch the Julie/Nick scenes. Blake Berris is pretty great too playing Nick Fallon. <br /><br />Oh, and where's Doug these days? Joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09239622379008070059noreply@blogger.com
