If Xander were sticking around (Read 436 times)

If Paul Telfer (Xander) were not leaving the show and he were actually sticking around then Xander his love interest potential really could have been endless I mean they could have paired him up with realistically anyone like let's say Nicole, Theresa even, Abby even, I mean realistically anyone and if they had capitalized on Xander's backstory by expanding it more then they could have redeemed his character somewhat by explaining why Xander is the way he is or why his Uncle Victor hates him so much

Anyone but Serena. Even Kate would have been an interesting pairing for Xander, especially since she's Victor's ex.

Yeah hell if Chloe were still in town permanently could you imagine a Xander/Chloe pairing? Chloe being the mother of Daniel's son and pairing her up with Xander knowing how Xander feels about Daniel but also knowing how Daniel feels about Xander it would be perfect, a Xander/Chloe pairing they would actually look good together as a couple

Ooooh.  That could have been interesting!  Kate would totally date Xander just to try to get a reaction out of Victor.  And we know Xander likes trouble.  He had so much potential.  Too bad he got caught in one of the worst periods of DOOL history!

Xander as the Kiriakis family black sheep I mean you could have had so much story potential with Xander and imagine if Xander went to work for one of Victor's enemies as a way to stick it to his Uncle Victor? Xander going to work for Clyde or even Stefano by siding with either one of them as a way to get back at his uncle it actually would have been poetic

Victor employs Ben. Clyde could have snagged Xander. And we could have had a real, interesting triangle with Xander/Nicole/Daniel. But god forbid anyone be interested in another man when Dr. Dan is in the area.

It's sad that Xander was so wasted. Paul Telfair is a gem. I liked Damon. I liked Xander until they ruined him. I think he could have ushered in the next Kiriakis generation.

Xander with him they could have had him find real love in Salem and not to mention Xander if he were to at least have real meaningful love in his life then imagine just how stronger of a man Xander would be? Instead of wanting his uncle's love and approval he can tell Victor to go straight to hell

I guess Xander could have been an interesting character but of course they had to make him a woman beating, violent psychopath. I honestly don't care about his need to please Victor because Xander's nothing more than a common criminal in my eyes. I don't think the way he was written he would have found real love anyway. And if he did find someone he probably might have ended up abusing his significant other anyway. Yet another example of Tomsell's villains having absolutely no redeeming qualities.

[terry]

Well if Xander had been created during the Higley era or during any other era I think he would have been somewhat redeemable especially because when I see Xander I could compare him to other villains of soap history like comparing him to let's say Adam Newman for example with the similarity that Xander wants to be loved and accepted by his Uncle Victor wanting his approval just like how Adam Newman he wants to be loved and accepted by his father Victor Newman but there are differences between Xander and Adam obviously

[UhSir]

If Xander were sticking around I'd like to know the reason why Victor hates him so much. So unless we get the reason then I've got my own so I can watch these scenes without going bonkers.

Victor's brother's wife had an affair with some random guy. Xander wouldn't even be blood then. Victor's brother never knew. Victor didn't find out until after his brother died.

I love how you came up with an alternative story UhSir!
