AMC SuperPoster is reporting that that SOD is announcing that Alec Musser (Del) and Jeff Branson (Jonathon Lavery) are the latest victims of the AMC Budget Slasher which has been sneaking around Pine Valley taking out characters left and right in order to make room for several new and returning characters.

Personally, I think it's really sad that All My Children wasted so much potential with Jeff Branson. He could have been written as a Richie type character and he does evil so well that having the tumor excuse was a MAJOR mistake. As for Musser, the show never really explored his potential either which is sad considering he did win I Wanna Be A Soap Star.

I think it's safe to say that one or both of them will end up on another soap very quickly.

Season four winner of I Wanna Be A Soap Star Ashlee Holland debuts on Days of Our Lives next week. Supposedly she will be playing Crystal, a psychic who will be important to Marlena. Word has it that she may be connected to the Carvers or Celeste.

Personally, outside the possibility of her being a Carver I would love to see her mix things up with some of the other characters on the show. For example, Sami needs a rival. What about Lucas and Crystal or maybe a Crystal/Lucas/Sami/EJ quad? That could be very interesting. Other than being a psychic how would you like to see her character mix things up on Days of Our Lives?

Thanks to gqfan1212 for the heads up!
