JamesC10 Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Interesting to hear this from Dan Bennett about Don’s return storyline between 2015-2017 (when Dan Bennett was on the show). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHulk Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 They probably thought "Nobody give a s**** about characters pre-2011, so thst one's going on the scrap heap" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeandawayfan. Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Don's surname is not Braxton, that is why. Unless his late mother Isobel DuPre was Isobel DuPre Braxton at birth. and she was a cousin of Danny's dad lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesC10 Posted March 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 It’s a real shame Seven don’t want returnees back to the show. They don’t care about long-term fans Dan has posted this today: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHulk Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 You need to upgrade the site for an ANGRY react. Its not just short-sighted, it's totally blind. No wonder he quit! I can just imagine how it went in a meeting "Lucy, I can't shine s***. I'm done." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hapitoby Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 I'll never understand the current producers clearly avoiding returning characters. It's like they're ashamed of the shows history. We had 0 returns for the shows 30th anniversary - which also contained the 7000th episode. Nothing to celebrate the shows history or characters. Next year is the 35th anniversary and will feature the 8000th episode. I highly doubt we'll get any returning characters once again. I don't understand this mentality of ignoring the past to focus on the future. It doesn't have to be one or the other. Its very odd. Also, I wish they'd bring the opening credits back but I know that's never happening. I accepted that like 10 years ago lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Ranger 1 Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Whilst I share the disappointment in the network refusing to acknowledge the show's past outside of nostalgic documentaries, I can't say I'm particularly up in arms about the fact that they weren't able to bring Don Fisher back just to put him through more pain and misery and then kill him. Are they incapable of coming up with a return storyline that isn't depressing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHulk Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 ^ In the hands of the *right* writers it could have worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Ranger 1 Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 ^Or they could have just had a positive story where, if the catalyst was Marilyn's amnesia, he could have just come back and helped her come to terms with what her life was like now, which would have been a nice reversal of both Don's utterly depressing 2007 return and the 2010 retcon that Marilyn refused to see him when he turned up for a big reunion. But no, they had to say "And while we've got him, let's kill him." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
