I’d like to see her back. Jen needs her mom, and Marlena needs her friend to help her with the Kritter…um, Kristen problem again!
I would like to see her come back. Both Jen and Marlena need her help! !!
it would be nice to see her come back & put karis life back into order & get daniel & her together & get rid of the witch that is trying to brake them up, with everything she has done i hope daniel gets custidy of his son
Yes, I would love to see Laura come back, she has been gone to long, Jen need her mother right now. She could be good for the soap,
Yes! Bring her back and Carrie, Austin and Bill(though it would be a recast.).
I would love to see her back. Someone needs to get that witch, oh sorry, her name is Chole, out of there. Jen needs her mother now more than ever and it would be nice to see Laura back for Jen and also for Marlena. I read somewhere that “Chole” will be off the show soon. That God for big favors. What she made Jen do is totally unforgivable and just shows how desperate she is. Why would someone want somebody that clearly does not want them. Using Parker has a pawn shows what a poor mother and role model she would be. I hope she leaves and Daniel has custody and Daniel and Jennifer are back together as they should be.
This may not be popular but I kinda don’t like Jenn very much. I see her as a real busy body who butts her nose into things that don’t concern her (what? in a soap???…I know) and stirs things up. She runs her mouth off without listening to the other person. And if I were Daniel, I’d kick her to the curb just because she’s run so hot and cold with him since Chloe returned. She wouldn’t listen to him or trust him to take care of her and even stooped to her level when she lied to him about where they were going to be when they went to Chicago. I’ve kinda been routing for Chloe to win Daniel back. They had a good connection when they were together. Yes, she slipped with Philip but that was because of all the crap Vivian put in place.
Of course Jen needs her Mom. Marlena needs a friend. And KATE needs one more person to irritate her. Sami could also use Laura as an Ally against Kate (Kate and Bill are Lucas’ parents and Bill and Laura are Jen and Mike’s parents.)
PLEASE BRING LAURA HORTON BACK SHE IS A REAL CLASS ACT,WE NEED HER ON THE SHOW THESE DAYS,TO HELP PUT A STOP TO CHLOE AND ALSO TO PUT KRISTIN AND THE DIMERA KLAN IN THEIR PLACE AGAIN,PLEASE BRING LAURA BACK!!!!!!!
i love to see her come back jen needs her mom and marlena needs her help
She will forever be remembered in my book as Laurie Brooks #Y&R
I agree, always loved the Brooks family on Y&R. The Brooks daughters and their parents were wonderful, a really down to earth midwestern family. They and the Foster’s were truly the first families of Genoa City.
I wish it was Susan Flannery. She was a much better Laura.
I agree. It would be nice to have Susan back in the roll of Laura after all these years.
Oh No! Sorry,
Jaime Lyn’s nuanced character tour de force… was spot on… the vulnerable… “?” sketchy she played… was compassion… and you know she was pulsating in her turmoil and angst… Laura was legit… and we cared about her.
You are absolutely right. Susan was terrific.
I ADORE! JLB, Her crazyness with Kristen and Peter was what I lived for on Days in the 90s and I would love to see Laura, and Bill return to Salem and drudge up all those old stories with Kate and Kristen.
I agree with you…she was good as Laura. i even suggested a possible storyline for her to show they could stil write for Laura instead of this all too brief visit!
thank you William…
like i posted before… when it was grans’ funeral… god rest her soul….
Laura and Bill fell outa my TV… sexy… passionista’. Kate was smoldering…
the angst this trio would deliver…
with Stefano in tow.
Bring Laura(JLB) back to Salem for good…and John Martin? as Bill Horton! Bill and Laura could move into the Horton home kinda like Tom and Alice! Except theyll have marriage issues. Bill could be the new chief of staff at the hospital working in his late fathers office with a portrait of Tom hanging on the wall. Kate could be a hospital volunteer with Rafe and Laura becoming jealous knowing Kates past affair with Bill! Laura could always have secretly despised Lucas because he is a constant reminder that Bill cheated on her with Kate! Everytime Lucas visits Bill, Laura could deliberately mention how she and Bill miss having THEIR SON Micheal in Salem ect. Lucas will sense Laura dislikes him and will tell Kate who’ll confront Laura. Laura will warn Kate, who has secretly have renewed feelings for Bill, to stay away from Bill! Then a short time later Kate fears someone is stalking her and she’ll go to Bill accusing Laura of being unballanced and trying to frighten her to death! Bill will believe Kates story after Laura accuses Bill of cheating on her again with Kate when Laura sees Kate leaving Bills office! But is Laura really the one stalking Kate or is it one of Stephanos men because Stephano realizes he still loves Kate and cant let her go? Or is someone else stalking Kate…and why?
GREAT comment jimh!
Thanks…this was my way of saying they could write interesting and exciting stories for older vets us fans still enjoy seeing, and that there is more for Laura, and Bill too, waiting for them in Salem than just a brief visit. Right now the show lacks balance(but its storyline is improving) and adding these two characters could help both ways. GH has had an amazing turnaround in popularity and i feel the same could happen for Days which ive watched, believe it or not, since i was 6 years old.
While I still prefer Susan Flannery in the role, I love your ideas!! If only the writers would realize how much long-time fans appreciate and miss the veteran actors. I thought the actor who played Bill during Alice’s funeral [I think you’re right in saying his name was John Martin] was really good and I would love to see more of him. We need to book you a ticket to Burbank!
I love Susan Flannery…stayed over 6 hours in movie house just to see her in Towering Inferno…it wouldve been nice seeing her as Laura if the late Edward Mallory(the 2nd Bill) was still with us. She and him had wonderful chemistry. Thanks 4 the reply.
Susan Flanery just retired from B&B a role she played for years. I highly doubt she will return anytime soon to any daytime drama. JLB is recognizable and is not a bad actress at all. As for Bill being Cheif of staff, that job is occupied by Dr. Kayla Brady. I know they barely use Kayla, but she is there and has the job. I am all for Bill and Laura coming back though… Maybe Kayla can step down for Bill. If the actor doesn’t want to return they could always recast… Perhaps Peter Simon(ex-Ed Bauer, GL)?
Peter Simon would be a good choice as Bill if they decide to bring that character back…ive been watching days and never realized Kayla was the chief of staff…they underuse mary beth evans maybe i just forgot. I hated seeing Susan retire…shes was the main reason i tuned in to B&B, and it wasnt the same wirhout her. But i stopped watching that show for different reasons…it just could never keep me interested. Thanks for reminding me about Kayla!
B&B is the most boring show on TV…. IMO as I have said before the ratings really should read as follow 1. GH. 2. DAYS. 3. Y&R. 4. B&B. I understand how you could forget about Kayla. She is barely present. If they aren’t going to bring Steve back they really should bring on someone new for her or pair her with Abe. A little more Kayla, Justin, and Adrienne and little less Jennifer, Chloe and Daniel would be nice at this point. I am not on the Jen and Dan hater bandwagon, but enough is enough!
Phil…i actually wrote an idea sometime back about Kayla crushing on Abe…i also agree the order you put how the soap ratings should be! i like how we somtimes think alike. More Justin and Adriene too. They may as well kill of Bo…i dont know what they are waiting for since it dont seem they’ll do a recast. Im bored with the Daniel/Jen/Chloe triangle…it just wasnt well written. Having Chloe always showing up at the Horton home and having Jen even listening to her was absurd…id have Jen slamming the door on Chloe or not answer it at all. Glad Chloe is leaving soon so this triangle will finally end.
The writers have seriously destroyed the character of Chloe worst than they did during the whole Daniel and Phillip mess before, and I didn’t think that was possible. Despite what others say, I enjoy the current writing regime, but they missed the boat on this one. Time to cut their losses! As for Bo, they need to either beg for Peter Reckell to come back or recast! Killing him is out of the question IMO… We need Bradys and Hortons on the show. Some recast ideas that I have are bringing back Robert Kelker Kelley. Maybe someone new like John Loprieno (ex-Cordt, OLTL), or maybe they could woo Ricky Paul Goldin (ex-Gus, GL) away from B&B, or woo Vincent Irizarry (AMC, GL) away from Prospect Park’s AMC? They need Bo back either way.
They could kill Bo off for now…off camera and later bring in one of those recast you mentioned just as Hope begins to move on to someone new.
Please no Hope moves on and then Bo returns…. That plot has been done too much!
John Martin… IS: Sexy! Ta-Da!
Phil –
Chloe is currently and presently…. allure… and has the it factor.
definately right… the writers squandered another return.
it’s a shame… cause… of this sad trio…. daniel/Jenn… and chloe…
chloe is…. and? salvageable?
what a dire need.
especially with her mom home… she’s showing and giving more story… than the trio.
at least… Parker… is finally… talking and reacting… I was worried about the little dumpling…
don’t even ask me about the writing…”team”
What about the writing team…never say ‘dont ask’ because once you do say it, i usually will ask! lol
I’m glad to have the character Laura back on the show, but the story line involving Jennifer, Daniel and Chloe is horrible. First, I hate the way they have ruined Chloe! Chloe has always been one of my favorite character on Days. The writers better do something to rehabilitate her or I may stop watching after 47+ years! I really don’t care at all for Melissa Reeves. I like Jennifer, but not with Daniel. I used to like the Daniel character, but he needs to learn how to keep it in his pants. A pairing I would like to see is Chloe and Brady. They had amazing chemistry when Chloe was in the hospital. Maybe when things blow up for them with Daniel and Kristen, they can console one another and start anew.
I read Chloe and Nancy were leaving in mid April?
I agree they are ruining Chloe- I like her in her early days, being the outcast, trying to fit in– finding her talent– falling in love and getting the man of her dreams (Brady). This 2013 Chloe seems more like Kate 2.0, but without the class. I get she is driven to get her family back together, but to me they are having her act totally out of character. The only good thing to come of it, is she broke up Daniel and Jen– the worst couple ever– no chemistry. Why the Days writers can’t see that on screen and move on is beyond me.
Completely agree!!! Dannifer are boring, Chloe has been ruined and so has Jenn. She’s become a doormat.
I think id like to see Daniel with Kristen but also as a player who likes to flirt around with some of the hospital nurses. Jennifer should just concentrate on her childrens lives, especially now that her son J.J. is supposedly coming to Salem.
I agree. I love Dannifer, but now their storyline sucks, and it’s been that way since late last year. Chloe’s character was ruined, and I can’t wait for her and her mother to leave! I was hoping she’d come back to bring down Kate and Kristen with Nancy, and then get with Brady.
!st off!
Daniel dares to talk tough to Chloe, Jenn… and heck… through in Nicole.
his emoting is embarassing and startling to watch…. why did the writers venture so far… with Daniel?
yeah… with Maggie…
that’s as far as they should have gone… he was best left in the hospital.
since… Crystal Chapelle left… he hasn’t been any good….
Daniel and Jennifer are too closely related for me. Don’t care if Maggie is her aunt by marriage, Daniel is still her son – even though she didn’t give birth to him.
Welcome back JLB!! This is cool. More Hortons!! Now… if only Kristian Alfonso could get some airtime. Days should be ashamed of themselves what they’ve done to her and Hope!
I agree…Kristan A. is a long time favorite and a great actress. She deserves better as well as James Reynolds, Mary Beth Evans, and Josh Taylor. What a sad waste of so much talent!
Ain’t that the truth?! It’s like they’ve been completely forgotten about. What bothers me the most is that this Daniel/Jen/Chloe mess is on day in and day out and it’s not even a good storyline and yet Days has wasted K.Alfonso, my favorite!!
JimH…
geez! thank you…
Hope… Abe… Kayla… Roman….
what a love fest … of talent.
add… Justin and Adrienne.
MORE Victor and Maggie.
is or isn’t John coming or going? it’s so out of character for him to be dissing Marlena…
show him making love to her. this enlivens his being.
You’re so right about John treating Marlena like crap, this is SO out of character. John is majorly in love with Marlena and wouldn’t do this to her. What did she do that was sooo horrible anyway? Dumb. John & Doc have been destroyed.
Thank goodness for their other talent pool (Chandler Massey, James Scott, Eileen Davidson, Ali Sweeney & Blake Berris) but they need to mix it up and have more Kristian, Wally, Mary Beth, James, John Aniston & Judi.
Days needs to get a clue!
OMG! OMG! OMG! I have been posting lately, that I wish she would join B & B as John McCook’s new love interest, so that Eric wouldn’t have to steep so low as to sleep with his ex daughter in law and mother of his grandchild,
(Ewwwwwwww)! So to hear that she is coming back to Days has me doing cartwheels! Guess who is going to start watching DOOL again!
Wow… well said… –
I couldn’t agree more….
someone outside the “family”.
Jamie Lyn Bauer… is TALENT.
JAIME LYN BAUER IS TALENT!
Good news!they have needed Laura and Bill.I did not like the Jennifer-Daniel confrontation,so out of character.Even tho she was being blackmailed by Chloe,she would never publicly humiliate Daniel.I hope Ann Milbauer also gets her comeuppance.As Zsa Zsa would say,”Vat a bitch!”
You’re right…that was so out of character for Jen…that kinda public confrontation scene wouldve worked better if it was Marlena and John tricking Kristen into believing they were breaking up!
i am actually… FF through their scenes…. Daniel/Jenn.
so out of character for me….
I love my days.
but… this one story… I’ve had it!
Daniel has the shutz pah! from where and when?
these women dont’ deserve it and should never have taken it..
expletive him.
Agree 100% Patrick. Good grief, how many times can we sit thru the same scenes, over & over. Daniel is written as the village idiot. He is CLUELESS and embarrassing & Jennifer is just as bad. For God’s sake, Jennifer-call a meeting at Victor’s with Victor, Maggie & Daniel & just spill it girl! Tell ALL. Who better than Victor to take Chloe down & love every minute of it?
Laura needs to come back to Salem for good Marlena needs help with Kristen and Laura needs to help Jennifer figure a way to get Jack back an get over Daniel
Maybe she’s the vet rumored to return later? I have never seen her, but I hope she and Jennifer hound Chloe and Nancy out of town! Dannifer deserve to be happy, since no couples on DOOL are really happy, given that it’s such a negative soap! We need new, good writers!
Wow… she’s great! Will have to watch out for her!
Wow! Awesome! Jamie Lyn was just terrific back in the day. I remember she had a tryst with the very hot Mark Valley as Jack at the time. I really hope she comes back for an elongated stay. Good news- I love Days!
OMG!
My dream: come true.
what a shot in the arm for the Hortons… and Salem!
She’d be perfect with Bill…. and Kate… and Stefano… mixing in with Marlena… John… and Kristen.
and her daughter… Jennifer… who need’s more than help. A cure… from the writers….
puhlease… give up the Daniel and Jenn…. ! PLease.
2 episodes is not enough… but… an obvious signs to TPTB… that .. she’d be an excellent add to the canvas.
Love you, Jaime Lyn Bauer.
I am SO disappointed to learn that it is only for two episodes! I assumed that she was going to be on contract. Too bad! Too Bad!
I would LOVE to see Laura back!!!! Jennifer definitely needs her Mom & it would be good for Abigail to have her Grandmother back! Marlena could use her best friend & confidante to help her with Kristen!
the thing that just enervates and riles me…
is that they’re “writing” and “acting” this story…. Magic kingdom… Daniel/Jenn..
the making love in the Horton cabin.
the Titanic… necklace….
Jenn… emoting… overboard that it’s Jack she loves… what a slap in the face…
Chloe is made out to be just plain stupid…
she has potential….
although… it doesn’t seem possible to salvage …
thank good ness… her mom… Nancy is back…. rescue this imbecile… what retardation is she on?
sad… that Jenn needs her own rescue… course.. if this means Laura… then… who care’s…. she’s a fantastic actor… who draws you in… her imbalance, if you will… only captures her embodiment.. of her captivation….
BRING BACK JOHN MARTIN….
HE’S sexy.
i’m sorry in my last comment i sdaid kari , i meant jennifer. get chloe out of the pic,jen & daniel should be together, i get ticked every time chloe does something she gets away with it & poor jen suffers. put jen & daniels heads together to think of a good way to keep his son & find someone else for chloe. i can’t wait to watch the show. then u have to have chloe having her way all the time. it’s getting sickening, i’m starting not to watch when she is on/ get on with the program & change the story line with them already/ THANKS
Would be nice to have her back( Jennifer needs her mom now thanks to Chloe) she was a big plus for Days and have miss seeing her on there, love to see more of Doug and Julie and alot of the others that have not been on Days in along time ( Frankie,Mary, Alex and etc)
I love Doug and Julie
I f your talking about Mary Anderson her character was killed of by the salem strangular in the early 1980s! Julies brother Steve Olsen is completly 4gotten as is Julies son David, and Davids son Scott plus several other Hortons plus the most recent Salem resident Bo Brady!
I am so so sick of Jennifer letting Chloe bully her. She needs to punch Chloe right in the mouth. Who would let someone come into their home and treat them that way. Also , how does Chloe think that she can travel the world and keep Daniel away from his son. The last time she was on the show she was prostuting to make a living. In this day of DNA it doesn’t matter if Daniel’s name is not on the birth cert. Move on from this senario Please.
REALLY! Why does Jennifer let the bitch in every time she knocks on the door? JUST DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR! Drives me crazy. Jennifer is so diminished as a character, I don’t think I can ever respect her again-what a flake & for who? Daniel-the flakiest guy on soaps? I wish he would just go away. Loved him on ATWT but not on DAYS.
Ok…JACK IS DEAD – there is no Jack and Jen getting back together. He fell down an elevator shaft…he is DEAD.
PLEASE bring Laura back full time!! Love her!!! And yes – PLEASE let her help Jen get back together with Daniel. Chloe has Nancy helping her – Jen needs Laura! Jen just needs to be honest with Daniel…THAT would be the slap in the face that Chloe needs. And what’s with this, all of the sudden Daniel is the father…Last we heard it was Phillip. PHILLIP needs to come back and help put Chloe in her place as well!!
Yes I would like to see her come back and hopefully she can teach Jen how to keep a relationship and stand up for herself, she needs her mom.
I would Like to see her come back!!
I am so excited to see Jamie Lyn Bauer coming back to reprise her role as Jenn’s mom, Laura. I think Jenn needs her mom now more than ever!! PLEASE bring her back long term!!!! PLEASE!!!!!! Somebody needs to take care of Nancy too!!!
I’d like to see her back too!
only 2 episodes 🙁 i was hoping she would be back on contract i really like her!
Would love Jamie back for the long haul. We need some more characters of her age group & history.
Please bring Laura back. If not for anything, but to get rid of Chloe and Nancy.
okay you are bringing some of the actors or actress that has been on days. Why don’t you bring (Bo Brady)back. I want to see Bo and Hope…………
Would love to see her back. Be nice if Days went back to great story lines and interesting stories.
Yes, I would love for her to come back to Days of our Lives as Laura Horton…..it would be nice to see her again for the long run on Days.
Yes I would love to see Laura back on Days of our Lives.
yes i would….
If Cloe’s big momma can come back and cause trouble, why not have Jen’s mom come back too! Would love them both to get into the ring and punch it out! I really want Jennifer and Dr. Jonas back together….why do you writers have to cause so much trouble. Once in a while, it would be nice to have a week of niceness on the air!
yea she should stay a bit. shell teach chloe a lesson messing with her daughter. All jen really needs to do is Go to victor he will take care of it.
I love to see her back, Jennifer needs her mother now, and Marlena needs a friend to talk too with her problem with John and Kristen… It will bring something new in Salem…. Can’t wait to see her back..
I agree. I would like Susan Flannery back as Laura.
Well….nice to see more of the Horton family; however, Rosemary Forsythe will always be Laura to me!
Also….still kinda miss Liz (Gloria Loring) and Neil and…wasn’t she married to Don for a while?! I loved Liz and Neil and Julie and Doug…
Liz was once married to Don. I also miss alot of vets and wish they could make brief returns like GH but several i miss are way up their in age and most likely retired…a few i miss such as Linda (Margaret Mason) and David(Richard Gutherie) are both deceased…some who never seen Days b4 the mid 1980s might not remember them because they were last seen in the early 1980s, and later replaced by different actors. ill always consider Doug and Julie daytimes most romantic couple!
Yes —- Bring all the old timers back – that is what made the show
I would love to see her back, but only if they give her a decent story line
I love JLB so great to see her back. Loved her on Y&R
I think bring Laura back would be great portraying a strong and much needed support for her daughter and family. Also put some mystery into the picture I hope that Daniel and Jennifer can get back together they seem to be great as a couple get the other female out of their lives. It seems they would be the perfect couple to memmick Alice and Dr. Tom in this soap. I really enjoy days the old characters were the best to me.
I also would like to see Carrie and Austin return or at least visit on Days. I think all the older cast should return for a special reunion.

I think Jenifer should expose Chloe for the unfit parent she portrays Parker deservers a better mother figure than that I believe that role should be more positive. Also the role with Will’s kid should be more positive . showing poaitive parenting goes a long way soaps or real life we need more of that. Positivity wake up call.
I Wish they would bring back Wayne Northrup as the original Roman. That would be super juicy with Kristian back trying to get John back and Marlana turning to him for comfort. Sparks would reignite and really bring this story to a whole new level 🙂
I’d love to see Laura Horton back on Days !
I would love to see her back she’s one of my favorites has been since I can remember I love seeing old characters come back.
