The Original "Dimples" Kiriakis
Finally a return the Diva is excited about!
The news is spreading from SOD that Wally Kurth aka Justin Kiriakis is returning to Salem. I think this is a good move by the show. First off, the show does need a Kiriakis between the ages of Victor, Philip, and Brady. I still have a hard time counting DumBo as a Kiriakis. I think we need another DNA test on that one.
Plus, the show got rid of their 50ish characters. He fits into that gap well. Besides, Brady and Philip don't seem to be ready to really be the heads of the Kiriakis empire. Devilish Justin really fits the bill. He'll run rings around those two.
I'm assuming that Judi Evans isn't coming back. I hope they bring her back. Judi's been awesome on every soap she's been on. It's a shame they wasted her return last year as Adrienne by having her tend bar with loser Max. Her husband is loaded, wth was Adrienne doing owning the Cheatin' Heart? Please let me know of any Judi news.
I'm glad the show is building up the Kiriakis clan. I still think it was a huge mistake getting rid of Steve and Kayla though. Here's their brother-in-law returning to the show. With the returns of Carly and Justin, Steve and Kayla should have been brought back too. Bringing Tony back would have made sense since he's close to the same age as Justin and would have been a perfect foil for Justin. The Dimera family still has a huge void from when Tony died. There aren't any long lost DiMeras out there to fill it either.
I never saw Wally on any other soaps. So I would love to hear everyone's opinion about his return and his acting on other shows. The Diva thought he was a solid actor on DOOL.
BTW, he's way too good looking to be named "Wally." lol
Ok so is this really happening or still just a rumor? But I have to say this is one return that I will be happy about. Always loved Justin and his dimples. It would also be great to have Judi back in the role of Adrienne. Another great talent that was let go. With Justin returing it will be good to finally see some *older* blood on the show. But I still say we need some more *older* DiMera's. Of course we know Tony is out there somewhere.... LOl DumBo will never be a Kiriakis. He will be too busy trying to explain Carly to Hope. Maybe this time Hope will bury her alive!
ReplyDeleteBack to Wally and I agree that is not a Hot name LOL. I really never saw him on any other soaps or shows so can't comment on that, but always enjoyed him on Days. Although he is one I will be glad to see back I still don't understand why we let the other five go in the first place?
I guess all that money that no longer has to be paid to JER's estate is being put to use.
ReplyDeleteI thought he was pretty good on GH. If Days stays true to the character of Justin, it could be pretty good.
ReplyDeleteWell, if I were one of the fired vets, I'd be pissed! First CC and now WK. Obviously, DAYS is doing better with money, but the vets aren't getting any calls back.
ReplyDeleteA little less pissed about Wally cuz Justin's a hottie. And God knows now that Tony's gone, we need some hot older men in Salem. So I've got mixed feelings about it. I imagine it'll be just a matter of time before Judi comes back. I had read that she was selling cemetery plots in LA, for God's sake! Surely someone on that heartless DAYS set will fight to get her back on the show.
Is that a recent picture of Wally? If so, he's looking really good! Just like I remembered him. The dimples are still killer. :D It makes me happy to see someone who's aged well. I hate returns when the actor has aged badly or been wrecked by plastic surgery (cough *Patsy Pease* cough).
