The Young and the Restless and Days of our Lives are trimming their casts. It was first  reported by Deadline that Y&R beauty Sofia Pernas (Marisa) had been let go by the CBS soap due to budgetary reasons and had quickly booked a role on CW pilot Transylvania. A spokesperson for the show later announced that Pernas would remain on recurring basis with the show. Meanwhile, Daytime Confidential broke that both Pernas and her on-screen love interest Robert Adamson (Noah) were bumped down to recurring due to lack of story — which is surprising as both young performers had recently excelled on the frontrunner.

Last Monday (March 21), it was announced by DC that NBC’s Days of our Lives was cutting Brandon Beemer (Shawn), Martha Madison (Belle), Sal Stowers (Lani) and Marie Wilson (Summer).

It’s troubling that the Sony soaps have cut young actors, three of whom are “legacy characters” (ie. the children of supercouples). Is it that hard out there for soap writers to come up with stories for characters in their 20s and 30s? In order for the last remaining soaps to survive, the younger characters need as much story as the older generation. Following Madison’s exit as Belle this year, Deidre Hall’s Marlena Evans will no longer have any children in Salem. Why is it that no writing regime at the Y&R has been able to come up with solid story for Victor Newman’s (Eric Braeden) grandson?

This was a genre that used to thrive on multi-generational storylines. It’s what hooked generations. You don’t need two or three generations at a time rooting for Victor and Nikki to reunite each sweeps! Let’s build some younger favourites.

Jaime Lyn Bauer will reprise the role of Laura Horton on Days of our Lives this September.

Sean Blakemore will return to General Hospital as Shawn for one episode next week.
