He’s fine in the role, it’s the storyline that is draggy and dull. I haven’t cared about the elephant story since it was introduced and hope that they wrap it up.
It is a curiosity to me that actors come and go on this show like a revolving door at Macy’s. What’s up with that?

I won’t miss him !

Don’t care for either one sander or serena

Too bad the character had potential.

I liked him.. Do we know why? was it just that the story eneded?

As he portrays and Australian would have been a hoot to bring back Vivian and her son and plaid a connection to take over Titan.

I was bummed when I read he was leaving. I was hoping he could be the new eye candy with the sexy accent.

I think Xander has been one of the few new characters that brought a new dimension to the show. I liked the idea of him being there with Justin, making a whole new family for Victor. When I read that a character is leaving in three months, it makes me lose interest. I felt the same way after I read that Melissa Archer was let go from the role of Serena.

Currently, it is hard to believe that Freddie Smith, one of the true “good guys” on the show is leaving too. I am still hoping a brother/sister is introduced as Sonny’s sibling before he leaves. His departure all leave a big hole.

I think that Chad and Theresa finding their way to each other sounds exciting and has “Super couple” written on it. Both are heavyweight actors that need to be more front and center with more dimension.

I am getting excited to see what the writers have in store for Kayla and Tony. Hopefully, story lines that will be well-thought out and have Kayla doing something more than offering advice.

If Claire is going to be a teenager, please age the character of Ciara. It makes no sense that Hope’s daughter is younger than here grandchild.

I am ready for a new character to come on the show that makes Nicole not risk all and do more dumb mistakes. I think she could be a part of a super couple if paired with someone like an E.J.-type character.

I am completely bummed! I liked him right away, and thought that he would make an amazing new character. I really wish that they would keep him and get rid of a few others.

I wish the show had done better by him. I noticed him immediately when he was first playing Victor’s henchman, Damon, and missed him when his character got offed by Clyde’s goons. So I was really happy when I heard he was returning in a new role. And a KIRIAKIS role, too. I wish they’d brought him on as Sonny’s brother (never mind the accent LOL) instead of this previously unheard of relation.
The biggest problem for both him and Melissa Archer has been this deadly dull, drawn out storyline. Big miss on Days part, and an even bigger waste of two performers.

I like the character and the actor. I’d rather Zander stay and Serena go.

I never expected Xander to be a permanent character in Salem. So his exit is no surprise to me. I think the character was brought in to be a temporary one, although being a Kiriakis opened the door for the possibility of a long stay.

There was nothing to like about the character of Xander. (I am distinguishing the character from the actor.) It could have been an attempt to fill the void left by James Scott’s absence. If that’s the case it should have been revealed more slowly that Xander is a crook. Also he should have been given some likable qualities. All you could say about Xander is that he is good looking and has a nice accent.

I was reading an article from Soap Opera Digest earlier about the actors who play Devon and Hilary on Y&R. The actress who plays Hilary said she played her character in a certain way at times because she saw an opportunity for the story to move in a certain direction regarding Devon and Hilary. Her insight and initiative to act on her insight paid off. The producers liked what they saw and moved the story into the direction that the actress had anticipated.

I don’t know if that was a veteran move on the part of the actress or not. But I do remember reading similar sentiments by other veteran soap actors, including actors on Days. My point is it seems that having a role on a soap is more than just a paying acting job. It is also an opportunity that some actors know what to do with more than others. Those who know what to do with their opportunity can turn what was supposed to be a temporary job into a permanent one. Case in point: Deidre Hall and Shawn Christian.

We don’t need another bad guy on DOOL! Getting bored with the story line. Ready for Nicole to be happy and for Dr. Dan to get his head out of his hind quarters!

I am so disappointed that soon we wont be seeing Xander on our screen. I was really enjoying him. especially loved all his interactions with Nicole. I thought finally they found someone that was perfect for Nicole. Someone who has never cheated on her(EJ), who hasn’t dumped her so that he can go back to his previous girlfriend (Daniel) and someone who hasn’t verbally abused her for months on end (Eric). Someone who was actually chasing her, and not her chasing them, as in the case of Daniel and also Eric. I know we are still under TomSell writing so I would not be surprised if Xander’s character changes to being very unlikeable. That’s what they have done to most of the men on the show so, I will be surprised if Xander escapes their horrible writing.

Not exactly enjoying the story he is in. The whole thing is just silly. and this includes Nicole pretending to break up with Daniel so that she can get the goods on Xander and Serena. It wouldn’t be so stupid if she had discussed it with Daniel and they both agreed to pretend to break up. They have written this romance between her and Daniel so badly, that personally, I wish the break up was for reel. All they have managed to prove is that Nicole and Daniel are not compatible, nor is Nicole and Eric, so It was such a delight and a refreshing change when Xander came along.

Is there no way they can bring the actor back. there is so much potential there, and he and Nicole gave me a reason to tune in to days once again. I will really miss him.

mmmmmmmmm he’s a hottie!

was hoping for a longer time of Xander and him helping Victor get rid of Clyde Weston, and being a challenge against Stefano.

I WOUD LOVE TO SEE PAUL STAY WHO HE PLAYS DOES NOT MATTER, HIS ACTING SKILLS ARE GRRRREAT.

He should stay or be brought back. What a breath of fresh air he was. They could have given him a better story line. Xander has a lot of possibilities. Whay don’t they use them?????

I hope Paul continues on the show, he is a wonderful actor & we like the “bad boys!”

Leave xander, dont take him off….he playes his role well and is a great actor.
“Off topic-bring bo back asap….”
