I always like to see new blood in Salem to see what stories can come out of it, but my main issue with this is he is going to be a character in an age group that is already heavily male dominated. Rafe, Lucas, Eric, and Brady are already onscreen. Shawn is coming back later this year and Philip may also come back at some point. Who are we going to pair them all up with? Nicole is on her way out, Chloe is coming back, and Belle is returning but are all of these guys going to be vying for just Chloe and Belle? I wish we had some announcements for more women in this age range, and I am not counting Sami since we know she is short term.
