I am a little late responding to this although I read the article a few days ago when it first came out. I love the fact that Anna is returning to the show. Although I am not a big fan of Carrie (I only liked her when she was a little girl played by Andrea Barber before Christie Clark took over), I would like to see her on the show at the same time as her mother. I don't think there have been any mother/daughter interaction between them onscreen since Carrie became an adult.
I like the fact that Corday mentioned we would see more of Chad and the new Abby, plus JJ and Gabi. However, JJ and Gabi have barely been onscreen together and we still don't know how new Abby will work out with Chad, so I will wait and see how it plays out. I was a little disappointed that he did not include Sonny and Paul with his discussion of the 20 somethings.
While I know Rafe and Hope have their fans, I'd like to know where Corday thinks fans are clamoring for them. Most people I know, including myself, do not care for the pairing.
I wonder if Nicole will get one of her babies back? I still think Daniel Rafael might have lived and the DiMeras hid him away. I would like Nicole to get him back now that EJ is gone so she would be able to raise him herself and she could pick the man who could help her raise him, either Rafe if they get him away from Hope, or Eric gets out of prison early and comes back to her (Hey, Gabi got out early, so could Eric).
I actually didn't realize Peter Reckell (Bo) sings as well. I read it in that article announcing his new Off Broadway show in September. Although he could have learned just for the show.
Days had Peter Reckell (Bo) sing during a story arc in 1985. He was a rockstar for awhile, I think mostly to go undercover to bust a drug ring. He also sang to Hope at their wedding in England. However, it was dropped soon after, a lot like Hope's ice skating, so Peter has been singing for years.
