For the longest time it seems that many storylines have revolved around the same handful of characters. Which ones have you had your fill of and who needs to be simmering on the backburner? Which characters would you like to see more focus on?

I want to see more of Lucas.
I like seeing Kate but not her obsession with Jordan.
I want to see less of Daniel and Jennifer. I'm fine with them in a supporting role in other storylines. But I'm tired of the focus on their on again off again relationship woes.

I want to see way less of Daniel. TPTB have so far managed to connect him to most storylines and I think that has to stop. Sometimes more is not necessarily better. Will needs to quietly fade into the background now that Nick is dead.
I also feel that Brady has occupied way too much air time, considering the foundation of his storylines haven't changed much for over a year now.
I'd like to see more of Lucas, Kayla, Hope & Aiden.

Without question Daniel and Jennifer, unfortunately I don't see that happening. My biggest fear is that with E.J./Sami leaving they will become the show's main couple. I don't particulary care for E.J./Sami, but I prefer them a million times over Daniel and Jennifer.
The main people I would like to see more of are Rafe, Lucas, and Hope. I want Theresa to be used more as well, but in a completely differnet capacity than what the show is using her now.

I agree that it's time for Jen and especially Dan to be on the backburner. I'm definitely tired of Sami too. I don't think Jordan gets a huge amount of screen time but she's so boring that to me any screen time she gets is too much.
I'd actually like to see Hope get a good story. I'd also like that for Lucas. I really think it it time to refresh the show with some returns of EXCITING characters, not just characters that return and do nothing ala John Black.

Will needs to be backburnered for numerous reasons, not the least of which is the actor is not talented enough to carry a storyline. And I fear that he is being groomed as the third generation in line to the throne. First Marlena was the central focus of the show for 20 years. Then it was Sami for 20 years. It feels to me like they are trying to push Will forward in that same way. Much rather see more of JJ who has looks, talent, and lots of storyline potential. Nicole needs to be backburnered for 6 months. I'd like to see Brady get his life together and be more business focussed. I don't mind Teresa, but she needs to be more 3 dimensional. Stefano needs to retire. I would like to see more of Kate, but in some other storyline. I don't like anything that's been done with her character since she and Rafe broke up. I also want to see more of Victor. Other than EJ and Sami, no one else bothers me that much, not even Daniel, and luckily EJ and Sami are about to be gone anyway. |

Less Dan/Jenn.
Less Jordan/Rafe.
Less Brady. I agree with dukeblue, that Brady's storyline is still stagnant and hasn't changed enough to warrant all his screentime. So less Brady until the want to resolve his issues.
More Lucas.
More Kayla. It's so bad that I sometimes forget that Kayla is still in Salem.
More Roman.

Back Burnered
-Jennifer
-Daniel (At least for a little while. He's wrapped up in far too many stories.)
-Abigail (She whines way too much to be likable and has her mother's judgmental streak.)
-Eric (He just bores me.)
-Jordan (Boring!)
-Brady (I've had enough of the whiny, drug merry-go-round. Either change it up or back burner him until they do.)
-Will (His appeal is wrapped in Sonny. Until that changes he can be a supporting player)
-Stefano (He's become a caricature more than a character.)
More Focus On
-Sonny (He needs a story that doesn't focus on Will. Preferably based on being a Kiriakis.)
-Aidan (He's an appealing character who's stuck on the back burner)
-Victor & Maggie (as fun supporting players for Sonny or other stories instead of lamenting over Brady.)

There are so many stories that could feature Sonny -- his business, his Kiriakis ties, and being stepfather to Ari. |

Personally, I think Sonny is the powerhouse in the Will/Sonny pairing and should be written for as such instead of made to be a supporting character in Will's story. I really hope the writers enhance his story soon. There are a lot of possibilities. |

I find Sonny and Will to be boring much of the time. I agree about wanting to see Sonny have his own stories rather than being there just to support Will.

All I remember is that he showed up, said he came back to come out of the closet to his family, then immediately opened a coffee house and fell in love with Will. I feel like the writers could really make use of his history from before he met Will, which in my opinion they simply haven't done. |

He did mountain climbing like K2 and had travelled all over the world. |

Yeah I feel like Kayla has a lot of potential, and she basically hasn't had a story since the whole "my husband hasn't texted me back, so I'm divorcing him" storyline, right? |
