You just got the new job at Days & you are now in charge of hiring the cast of characters... What new character would you bring in and tell me all about him or her. ( if you want you can even pick the actor who would play the part)
You also get to bring just 1 person back who is currently gone. Who comes back?

New character: a young-ish woman (late 20s, early 30s) that is not, in any way, related to anyone. She manages to know everyones business though, and tells them all the things they need to be told. Here are some of her lines- "Sami, if he isn't acting the same, maybe he ISN'T the same guy! Didn't this happen to your mom?" "EJ, why are you doing this to your kids? Do you realize it just looks like you want Sami back? Do you really think you're going to accomplish that by doing THIS?!?" I think you get what I'm going for.
As for a returing character, I can only choose one?? Right now I want Jack to come back and clear his name, and keep Jenn away from Dr. Creepo. But I don't know what they'd do with him after that. Seems like keeping Philip has more story possibilities, so I'll say Philip.

If I'm the new head of Days, I'm taking that to mean Corday's position, not Tomlin's, so that I have absolute carte blanche. I wouldn't bring in any new characters. I have a list of new characters the show has already brought in that I would axe. I actually wouldn't be too quick to bring back a lot of past characters either and since for the sake of this thread I'm limited to only one, it would be Lucas, but with a whole lot better writing for him than anything Tomlin/Higley would ever manage.

If I ran Days, I wouldn't bring in anyone new, but I would retool what I already have. Give more story to characters who have been underutilized and less story to those who have been overexposed. I would make it more of an ensemble show and less of the Sami show.
For who I would bring back, it would have to be a Horton. I think Bill Horton (the silver fox played by John Martin ... I think that's the actor's name) could jump right in and have a story with his daughter Jennifer and granddaughter Abby. I could see him and Daniel being at odds as doctors, especially if Daniel shows interest in Jennifer. And he could also interact with former lover Kate, with whom he shares a son (Lucas).

I would LOVE to see Bill come back. But only if he's played by that guy at Alice's funeral. I think he could have some real chemistry with a lot of ladies in Salem.  |

I like DD's idea of a new character & this character is so smart she 1st becomes the new D.A. and puts away all the bad guys (yeah, you DiMera's especially) & then becomes the new Mayor.. Abe goes back to the SPD that needs him desperately. I go for the latest Bill (yep John Martin) the silver fox... having him around could lead to Lucas?  ?? |

Okay, first I'm bringing back Lucas so he can talk Philip into staying. ;D
For a quickie guest appearance, I'm bringing back Rolf so he can fix Rafe, but he tries and tries and only gets some of him back. Rafe kills Ej and Stefano is in a coma. But when he goes hme he discovers he no longer loves Sami, She is heartbroken, Lucas returns to help both her and Kate and bring Allie back to Salem.
If I have to create a new character, it will have to be a doctor. Salem U needs more than just Lexie and Daniel. Probably a shrink...lotsto keep them bus; they'll have an opportunity to interract with just about everyone ;D
