potential stories for returning characters (Read 461 times)

[fluffysmom]

I am curious as to the storylines or even scenes that everyone is hoping to see with the returning characters of Jack, John, Marlena, Carrie and Austin.

I hope that John and Stefano have a storyline related to John being Stefano's brother. Or at the very least some great scenes.

I can't think of anything for Carrie and Austin to do other than being a supportive aunt and uncle to Will.

What are your thoughts?

For John,Carrie,Austin and Marlena,I really don't care,lol.I'm sorry,but they aren't all that important to me and I couldn't care less that they're coming back.I really see no purpose for it.

As for Jack....I really want him to come back with a good explanation as to why he was gone.Like Lawrence is alive maybe,and was holding him hostage.I just don't want to see Jenn get off scot free this time.This whole martyr thing she's got going is pathetic,and I want to see her answer for the things she does.Seriously...No one in Salem has found it strange that he doesn't email all that much,that he doesn't call,didn't know that Jenn had her heart literally removed from her chest?That's not Jack.I want to see him come back and sock it to her.Then I want to see him give Dr.Sleaze a run for his money and win out in the end.I would like to see him come back as the Jack we knew and loved in the 90s,funny but intelligent.

I imagine that TPTB are hoping that John and Marlena's return will lead to a huge increase in ratings. As far as Carrie and Austin, I don't see them bringing back former viewers. At least not enough to make a noticeable difference. I think Lucas is a lot more popular at this point than they are and would have more storyline potential.

I honestly could care less about Carrie and Austin's return since I never was a fan of either character.

I want to see John and Marlena help Brady get his life back together and get help for his alcohol addiction. The alcohol stuff with Brady was entertaining at first but now it is getting to be too much. Because of his bad choice to go beat up EJ he now is putting the whole Kiriakis family in danger along with Maggie, Melanie, Daniel, Carly, Dario, Nicole and Taylor. Brady needs to finally get some help before someone he cares about gets killed. I also want to see Marlena and John be supportive of what Sami is going to be going through when she finds out that Will is gay and maybe dating Sonny Kiriakis.

I just want to see Jack and Jen have an investigative reporter type storyline. Since Titan has their own tv station maybe they could get a job there.

I also have a perfect storyline for Philip's return if Jay ever decides to come back to Days. Victor becomes seriously ill and Philip comes back to Salem to be with his dad. While Philip is dealing with what is going on with his dad, Chloe could be there to help him get through this trying time for him. While she is trying to help him get through this illness stuff with Victor, Philip and Chloe could start growing closer and closer to each other and they could work together to co-parent Parker and give him a stable and happy family life. Also while Victor is sick, Philip could do battle with Brady over control of Titan and regain control of the company that his dad worked so hard to create and have Philip take over someday. Also I want to see Brady and Nicole be together as a couple during all this and that way Nicole and Chloe can be caught in the middle of Brady and Philip's battle. It would be nice to see Chloe be Philip's rock for once while Philip is going through a hard time since he has always been Chloe's rock whenever she is going through a hard time.

Excellent ideas karebr! I love the story idea for Philip, Chloe, Nicole and Brady.

I don't really dislike Carrie and Austin but I guess I just don't see any point in them returning. It will give Kate one of her sons back. Although she really seems to prefer to meddle in Lucas and Philip's lives.

I guess my biggest thing about them too is that there really is no use to bring them back except to give Sami a sister in town to be able to confide in. I would much rather have had the show bring back Belle or even Eric to give Sami another sibling in town besides Brady. At least if Belle and Shawn were back they could have storylines with Bo and Hope along with Sami, Marlena, and John or Eric was back in town he could pick up where he left off before he left Salem with Nicole and he and Brady could fight over who is the real love of Nicole's life. Without Lucas, Billie or Philip in town there is not going to be much for Austin to do except interact with Kate and maybe get involved in her business Hearth and Home. I would much rather see Kate have either Philip or Lucas in town because at least both of them have other family members that they could interact with besides Kate.

Plus the fact that they are married so they won't be involved in any new romances either. Maybe it will be a short term return and they will move back to Europe.

I wonder why out of all the characters that TPTB could have had return to the show that are a lot more popular than they are that they were chosen as returns. I hope that they are only going to be on the show long enough to be a support system for Sami when she finds out about Will. TPTB should just bring on certain characters for short periods of time to appease some viewers and then have them leave and keep rotating with different characters every few months just so that viewers get to see some of their favorites being brought back even if it is only for a short period of time.

[fluffysmom]

That's a good idea. Then they could just be part of someone else's story for awhile.

I have envisioned Jack's return and explain the reason for his absence in a fanfic called Living Dangerously. It's the sequel to The Homecoming and it starts on July 26th, the day after Passions ends. Did that sound like a commercial?

[jaysdelina]

Nahhh you're more than welcome to plug your work,lol.Especially if it gives us a much more plausible explanation as to why he left.Leaving Jenn is NOT his MO like they want us to believe.He's always been wanting to protect her.The only time he left her willingly (somewhat),was when Abby was ill as a baby.He knew he had been responsible for the toxic dumping that had made her sick,so he left,thinking that Abby and Jenn would be better off without him.It wasn't for selfish reasons,it was to "protect"his daughter against himself.Every other time between 2003 and 2006 was because of the Dimeras.So this time doesn't seem to ring true to me at all.

[Kpatch]

Well, I'm going to guess the show is going to go the Dimera route with the Jack story, that the Dimeras have something to do with his absence because that sets up even more drama for Romeo and Juliet. I mean Chad and Abby. However, to me, that route is too easy, too predictable, and I didn't go there in my fic. I can't wait for you to read it.

[fluffysmom]

At this point, I am hoping for some good stories with good writing. I also want to see more characters on screen than just EJ, Sami, Rafe and Melanie. So basically good stories that involve multiple characters. Is that too much to ask?

[ghoulgirl]

But what reason would Stefano have to hold Jack prisoner in Australia?
Looking forward to reading your fan fic about it

Since Will stayed in Europe with Carrie and Austin for a while maybe they are coming to help support him through this transition. Maybe they already know and will help him come out to his mother.
