Here is the thing....in my opinion. Days has been moaning about the cast being too large, too big a payroll, too many to try and write for. So, Abby, Ben, Ciara, Eli & Lani have left town. Their super guest Sami is now gone. Will is going to be leaving (Talking regular Days here). So they have been paring down their regulars, plus hardly using some (John, Steve, Kayla, Roman).So now the cast is down to a reasonable size, apparently. And while I honestly would love to finally get Stephanie, Joey, JJ, Andrew, Paul.......(don't know Wendy) I do not think Days would want to replace those now empty spots with an equal number of full time characters. Maybe a couple, but not them all.
