Will Brady get back together with Chloe or will he persue the one he let go (Nicole)??

I think he won't pursue either. I think this is going to be a sweeps stunt.

its gonna be phillip/brady/chloe.

nicole is in the sam/ej triangle now.

i think brady is coming back just to bring chloe with him, but thats just me.

I think both chloe and nicole will try to get him. He's probably coming back for Chloe. He probably doesn't even know that Nicole is in Salem and when he sees her that will cause him to rethink what he wants. MAYBE!!

I think that is a good idea. Come back for Chloe and then end up turning to Nicole, which ends Chloe and Nicoles friendship. All of a sudden they are enemies again. Maybe or maybe not. Who knows.

I like Chloe and Nicole's relationship right now so I don't want it to end. I enjoy them as frenemies rather than enemies. If Chloe is cool with Brady turning to Nicole (if that happens) then I will be relieved.

I don't think that Brady is coming back for Nicole. Plus, they didn't end exactly well and she is pregnant from another man. I still think she is going to battle Sami for him. Like Lumi I think the Brady angle is to ride Chloe off into the sunset with him. I think Nadia was the other actress let go.

If Nadia had been let go why bother to pay for a recast to take her off-screen? They could just have Brady contact her and she leave town to go back to him.

November sweeps.

That would be a pretty blah sweeps stunt. Especially given how late in sweeps he'll be airing. I think he's back as the new DiMera victim after watching today's show and it won't be about Chloe or Nicole for long.

I'd love to see Brady get involved with the Dimeras. I think Brady won't be the boy scout he was before he'll probably come back with more of an edge. I think Chloe said that Brady was into somthing illegal or shady and that's when their problems started.

Not sure what they will use as the reason to bring him back to Salem. But I do think he will be involved with Chloe only, and not Nicole. I think there will probably be a Lucas/Chloe/Brady triangle. I dont think they would do Phil/Chloe/Brady again! That was done already! I have no idea what they will do with Phil once Morgan leaves. Guess we'll see.

It's already shaping up that Chucas is dead in the water. It'll be Phloe and maybe Broe again.

By the way they have made it sound Brady hates chloe and didn't want anymore to do with her so i doubt he's comming back for her unless it is to make her life miserable. Now Nicole really did love Brady and they were a good couple( tons of chemistry with Kyle but maybe because they were together in real life) till Nicole screwed it up by being herself. Maybe this more "mature" Nicole will be exactly what Brady wants. right now I think she feels EJ is her only option..but if Eric or Brady were in the picture do you really think she will feel the same?

Honestly? No. I think she'd run from EJ's drama in a heartbeat. And honestly I think Brady or Eric would be more appealing for a host of reasons not least being their lack of clingy exes. I imagine Chloe would wish Nicole well with Brady (who after having been addicted might be a lot less judgemental) and continue on her merry way with Philip.

I think he would pursue chloe because he might have some unresolved business with her

Yup, and that unresolved business is going to be that he still loves her. She is also going to find that she still loves him too.

Chloe is past thinking about Brady romantically. She cares about him, but recent eps make it clear that her mind (and her heart) are leading her in a different direction.

Not Nicole. They wrote her in pregnant, giving her another triangle would be just plain stupid. But then again, it's Days...

Chloe is past thinking about Brady romantically. She cares about him, but recent eps make it clear that her mind (and her heart) are leading her in a different direction.


As if this show has never done a rewrite. Two weeks ago, Philip was clearly into Morgan. Now that the show is getting rid of her he isn't even thinking about her. The second that Brady comes to Salem and Chloe sees him the feelings will resurface. They want to do a triangle. In a triangle the one in the middle has feelings for both of the guys/gals.

I never saw him as being interested in her. IMO he was using her, but we've had this convo. I know lots of people think a triangle is happening, but the show isn't disclosing contract length and Stephano is talking pawns and I can't help but think there's a reason for that fact. Chloe & Brady will get closure, but TPTB already know people are tired of triangles.

Of course Philip was interested in Morgan, this show was writing a romance, up until the new producer took over. So are you going to tell me that their growing fanbase got it all wrong. That all those people didn't know what they were watching.



I see that Jay is also in contract talks. Interesting enough, we still haven't heard of any contracts lengths for him either. I think as the Brady's time draws closer we will be hearing more.




So what if Stephano is talking pawns. Brady can't be the new pawn and romance and reconcile with Chloe? Isn't John the old pawn? Didn't all his pawn storylines include Marlena?




Chloe and Brady are already divorced. How much more closure do they really need?? I honestly don't think that is the case. Look at the new spoilers that are coming out about his return, they speak of unfinished business with Chloe. There is an intense storyline the show could write there. I can see it now: the angry words between them, the underlying smoldering passion, the intense looks. Drawn to each other, but afraid to forgive. That certainly is a more interesting storyline then just throwing her back into Philip's world. What's the story there?? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

i totally agree with you there. I really would be the best way to handle his return

What exactly is interesting about turning them into a Jarlena clone? The story with Philip could actually be character driven instead of event driven. Old flames reconnecting, sharing a connection that has stood the test of time despite their efforts to move on with other people. And the effort to work through a painful past and create a bright future. Classic supercouple like say...Bope.

And I think Phorgan fans saw what they wanted to see and ignored the fact that Philip never told Morgan he loved her. He didn't initiate their kiss and he constantly pumped her for info about her father. That was all before the new producer. And everyone is in talks (including JS) but I suspect we'll hear their contract details sooner than those of EM & GG.

Thank you, you just describe why they should put Brady and Chloe back together. They were written to be a true lovestory, just like John & Marlena and Bo & Hope. Down to the on location shooting to consumate their relationship. To date they have gone through a ton of angst to be together, first her battle with leukemia, then her "death" and now a divorce between them. Putting them back together actually makes sense if they are following the supercouple format.



.


He never told Chloe he loved her either this time around and he barely gave her a thought when he was chatting up Morgan. After the truth came out about her dad, Philip was still pursuing her, even to the point that he wanted to take her away on a romantic retreat to make amends to her. Then the new producer came and changed everything.




Actually the new producer is a Passions guy and I suspect somewhat loyal to Galen and Eric, or he wouldn't have brought them on board, when there were so many other unemployed actors that they could have chosen from.

Also the new co-writer was on the show when they created Brady, who was clearly written to be a love interest for Chloe. Brady isn't an insignificant character on the show. He is John Black's son and with all of his family connections, easily one of the richest and most powerful men in Salem. I doubt they went through the trouble of recasting him only to be on the show for a limited time. Plus it's going to take time to develop a romantic interest for him and currently the only one that fits the bill on the show is Chloe, who incidently he shared an intense love story with. This couple has a very large fanbase that will support them and is anxious to see them reunited. I honestly would be shocked if the show didn't at least try to make a go with Broe.

Philip feeling guilty after Chloe dumped him didn't strike me as being about an attraction to Morgan. It struck me as him getting a wake up call about what his games were costing him. Especially when you consider his conversation with Nicole at the hospital about the awful things he'd done and how he just didn't deserve Chloe. If he didn't have any feelings for Chloe then why was he steadily telling her she was the only one for him and not to be jealous of Morgan?

And Phloe has been through a ton of angst too. Much like Shelle they've gone their separate ways only to find their way back to each other again and again. Bope thought they'd found love (and marriage) with other people, but we see how it worked out in the end. The difference is most of their angst was internal and IMO far more intense because they were both painted in shades of grey throughout the relationship. Philip was often a jackass, but he was also often very sweet and sensitive. Chloe lashed out left and right and really both of them were finding their way. Now that they are established in themselves? The one thing that's remained constant is their connection. They can always rely on each other.

Philip isn't exactly an insignificant character either and is also easily one of the richest and most powerful men in Salem. And the only romantic interest for him that has generated a massive fan response is with Chloe. If they didn't have such a huge fanbase and such great chemistry then why bring up Phloe again? As for Broe redux a recast just isn't going to generate the same response. A lot of Broe fans are really KL fans as born out by their reaction to Chloe's return without KL. The dearth of females on the canvas would actually lend itself to keeping Brady single for a bit and building up a new relationship for him since Salem is short on women that aren't related to the core families. I'm an EJole fan, but they're not guaranteed a smooth course and if JS doesn't resign or they decide to test out the power of another fan war then Bricole might be the ticket since Nicole's being presented in a different light these days. We'll certain see Chloe & Brady share scenes I just don't think those scenes will be romantic in nature. The early spoiler of his return because of unfinished business with Chloe feels like a sweeps stunt to me.

What I have read about this is that he interacts with Sami. Are they related? It's too hard to figure it out. God forbid Brady becames her next victim.

I don't remember, but I'm pretty sure Brady dislikes her as much as everyone else. Step-half-siblings. Sounds right up Dool's alley.

The one thing that's remained constant is their connection. They can always rely on each other.


This same thing can be said about Brady and Chloe. They have always had a connection and a great love for each other. The show can easily write it that way again, because they are drawing from their history. They aren't making anything up, we actually got to see it play out onscreen.

And the only romantic interest for him that has generated a massive fan response is with Chloe. If they didn't have such a huge fanbase and such great chemistry then why bring up Phloe again?

That is so not true. Martha's Belle also generated a massive fan response and that was one of the reasons they chose to get rid of Shelle the way they did. Corday wanted to keep Shelle intact, and he knew that Phelle was creating some mega buzz. Actually alot of people were also liking the chemistry between Shawn (Brandon Beemer) and Chloe.


As for Broe redux a recast just isn't going to generate the same response.

How do you know that???? Alot of Broe fans know that this might be the end of this show, we still haven't received a renewal announcement. Due to that fact, they might be willing to give Eric a try because they know there might never be another chance to see Brady and Chloe again. While many are KL fans, alot more are straight up Broe fans and like I said before, Eric also brings with him a large fanbase that I'm sure will be supporting him in his new endeavor as Brady Black.

On Passions, interesting enough Eric wasn't the first Ethan to play the role, he was a recast. Yet, he not only managed to have chemistry with the actress that played Theresa, but to make the pairing even more popular then when the first actor played Ethan. This could very well happen with him now. True, it might be different then when Kyle played Brady, but that doesn't mean Eric can't bring something new and exciting to watch in terms of Broe. I'm certainly willing to see it played out.





Well they could very well do the same thing with Philip. The reason that they are rushing to put Phloe back together is because Brady is coming back and they want to do a triangle. If the show was so blown away by Phloe's chemistry together, then why didn't they write something better for them in the beginning, instead of that FWB debacle that made them look cheap. They had all that time to develop a storyline, yet the first chance they got they tried them with other people.




What in the world would that accomplish??? Maybe bring in the fans for a day and then what? They aren't going to stay around to support Phloe. I know I'm not.


What I have read about this is that he interacts with Sami. Are they related? It's too hard to figure it out. God forbid Brady becames her next victim.


That's Galen's character that is going to interact with Sami.

There were BTS issues when the Phloe pairing started. It seemed completely random and out of the blue to go with FWB even to the actors according to interviews. So, I wouldn't be too sure there wasn't a different story planned all along. And Shelle was sent off because no one (including me and I'm a fan) was enjoying the to and fro of the cheating story. It didn't make any sense for Belle to want Philip after everything that happened. And Days renewal was mentioned, the length of it just hasn't been announced. As for how I know a recast won't generate the same buzz? They generally don't. EM as Ethan was a fluke and it still didn't save Passions. Days has been all about the stunts for some time now. Look at EJamicus. That's one long parade of stunts. They'll hope to bring back fans that are curious and then get them invested in Brady being taken by Stephano. The Broe fanbase isn't any larger or more vocal than Phloe and I suspect at this point many Broe fans realy aren't going to return for a recast regardless of what's being said on these boards. Not to mention the people that are willing to watch either pairing that will stick it out and have stuck it out. I came back to DOOL because of Phloe and I know I'm not remotely alone.

Eric replacing Travis as Ethan on Passions turned out to be a great recast. He took over the role when the show had been on for only two or three years...long before the cancellation mess. I have no idea what things will be like on Days...but he's definitely a good actor.

Thank you TT, yes he is a good actor and he had a wonderful chemistry with Lindsey.




What caused Passions to crash and burn wasn't the lack of chemistry between the actors, but the fact that their headwriter was a freak. The man should be writing for MadTV. I don't care how talented the actors are, if you are putting out garbage how do you expect them to shine. As to the fluke thing. Sometimes recasts do work out quite nicely. I don't watch General Hospital anymore, but I remember reading that they recasted that chick that is paired up with Sonny, numerous times. I think her name is Carly. From what I have read all those ladies brought something special to that couple and they all gathered up a nice size fanbase.


People watch shows because they love to see the trials and tribulations between people involved in relationships. Brady can't be left to putz around Salem ,sans a woman, for an indefinte period of time. People are going to lose interest in him if they do. The show knows that Chloe and him created a mega buzz and they might not be able to strike lightening twice, but they are going to try. Of that I'm certain.



Since Eric was announced as the new Brady, I have been watching all of his interviews and clips on Utube and I have to say that he is very charming, witty and a decent enough singer. I do believe that he is going to have a nice chemistry with Nadia.

They'll hope to bring back fans that are curious and then get them invested in Brady being taken by Stephano.


As if the Broe fans are going to fall for that bait and switch. The reason they will be excited is because there is a possiblity of a reunion. They aren't going to stick around to watch a Brady/Stephano storyline without him being involved with the woman that he loves. How boring is that!!

I suspect at this point many Broe fans realy aren't going to return for a recast regardless of what's being said on these boards.

Once again, how do you know that? You can't gauge what a fanbase is going to do or not do according to what is said online. Especially when the online fanbase is a microscopic representation of a fanbase. We are going to have to wait until we see what plays out and how well the fanbases support it.

As for some Broe fans tuning out, yes some of them will. I accept that. However, like I said before, Eric has a nice size fanbase and I'm sure that they show is banking on the fact that some will follow him to Days. If Eric and Nadia do have chemistry and his fans respond well to it, then they will support Broe, thus giving the show new viewers to replace the ones that left. Then you also have the viewer that is tuning in for the first time. If they also like Eric and Nadia's chemistry they too will start supporting them. Isn't that what happened with EJ and Nicole???




And I stopped watching DOOL because of Phloe and I know that I'M not remotely alone. So the point is???

what kind of unfinished business does Brady and Chloe has to tend to. Their divorced what issues do they have resolved

brady and chloe got divorced. he was the one who ended their relationship(or maybe chloe did, because she realized they were not meant to be). he became drug addict, blamed everything on chloe, didn't come forward when chloe was accused of killing him. it looks like brady despises chloe. don't see any romance there.

Brady is the one that ended their relationship. Chloe wanted to work things out but he didn't

Exactly. Which is why I don't see any reason for Chloe to want him back after all this time and everything that's happened. I certainly don't want to watch Chloe's "I'm not good enough for you" routine ever again. Brady treats her like crap and it's romantic because he's trying to help her. She & Philip have a fight and he's abusive. Who's the one that went months without contacting her and let her be set up to take the fall for a murder that didn't happen? It sure wasn't Philip. He yelled her at the Prom years and years ago, but he was the one keeping her from going to jail for a crime she didn't commit.

phloe is meant to be. they are each others first and true love, they are soulmates. they have the special connection that can not be broken.

Yet, Chloe didn't think twice about breaking that supposed special connection. As a matter of fact, up until Nov 2007 she never gave Philip a thought.

Actually she did give him a thought. Even when KB was playing Philip she was still friendly to him. The writer's decision to focus on Phelle vs. Shelle while Chloe was offscreen doesn't tell us anything about whether or not she thought of him while she was away. And she sure knew who to run to when she was in trouble didn't she?

everybody makes mistakes on DAYS. but she realized her biggest mistake was marrying brady. it's better to be leter than never.

Or both Brady and Chloe could realize that their biggest mistake was letting each other go without a fight.

Or that it was ending things so angrily when they could and should stil be on good terms despite having moved on to other people.

philip's character was thrown under the bus because of brady. phlooe was broken up because of broe. now it's time for phloe fans to get justice back. it's brady's time to be thrown under the bus.

i can't wait to see what they have in store for Brady return to the show. I has this feeling that Brady and Chloe will has alot of scenes together

I am not familiar with Days, so the Phloe vs Broe wars don't really mean much to me but I did watch Passions for nine years and let me just say this to be fair to Eric...

He was a very successful recast. However, I am sure some of the chemistry worked with him and Lindsay Hartley because JER built their relationship back up. He came into the story at a very "dramatic" moment. Travis Schuldt was beloved by the Passions audience but Eric wasn't hired to save Passions. And Eric was Ethan for seven years before the show got canceled. That's hardly an unsuccess.

However, recasts are always difficult, a little hard to swallow for the people who are attached to the originals. But Eric came on and took over a very popular role and ended up becoming the main male lead on Passions plus gathered a very strong fanbase. So ultimately it comes down to the writers and what they chose to do with the characters, but Eric is one of main leads of Passions, was the main male figure of the show and was a very high success.

i'm not familiar with the passions and what you are saying is eric became the main male lead on passions, become a very high succes and after 7 years the show got canceled, i guess that wasn't enough.

What are you saying?

Eric wasn't hired to keep the show on the air. What I am saying is that the show being canceled and Eric's role have nothing to do with one another. Eric wasn't hired as some sort of band-aid for the show...and the fact that he had a seven year career with the show means that he didn't contribute to it being taken off.

TV shows come and go all the time. Passions wasn't the first soap to end, and it certainly won't be the last. I'm just giving Eric his due in saying that he is not some mediocre slab of beef actor who was hired for all the females who watch can swoon. He has talent, is known for a wide variety of entertainment and to write him off as imcompetent because his show was canceled, when he had nothing to do with that.

Passions being canceled and Eric's employment with the show as a very popular character are two different things. What I am saying is that he has a dedicated fanbase, he was a beloved actor and character on the show and that means a lot not just the fact he happens to be from a show that is no longer on the air.

maybe he's a good actor i don't know. DAYS have two leading male characters: JS as ej and JKJ as philip, it would be very difficult to recast them, i think it would lead to a failure. original brady KL was very popular among broe fans and i don't think they are pleased or happy with the recast(i know i wouldn't be). this topic is about brady/chloe/nicole , so if you are eric's fan you should try to open new topic for him.
now about the brady/chloe/nicole as i said before i want philip with chloe, for brady maybe someone new.

...Hi

Implying that Eric's performance as Ethan should have been enough to save Passions from cancellation is kinda like saying the actors on Days must not be all that great since Days also seems to be in danger of cancellation. That's not the case...is it?

Fine by me...

No Bricole. The FBI guy played by Garen, as confirmed by SOD is Nicole's new love interest after EJ.



Exactly!



Exactly!


Ummm Chloe just recently had a convo with Maggie about Brady. Maggie compared her relationship with Mickey to Brady and Chloe's. Not Philip. How you think you may be over someone, but when you see that person, you realize you still love him.

BRING ON BROE!!!
