We have had new families come and go throughout the years and no one replaces the Horton’s. They have even replaced Mrs. H with Maggie who is a Horton by marriage. So I don’t think the writers ignore them. In fact they brought Nathan on the show and he is a Horton.
I feel sometimes the writers cannot win. When Stephanie was always dating her "cousins" people had issues and said more people outside the core Bady/Hortons needed to be introduced to allow easier pairings. So now the writers bring in more families to allow easier pairing and people feel that a family is getting erased.
I would love to see more Hortons, but the cast can only be so big. Plus you have to allow for people to pair together without pairing up with a family member. I think days has done a good job reminding us the Horton’s are there with Maggie being a central figure right now, but balancing that with bringing in new families who can pair up with the Horton’s and Brady’s.
I personally like Rafe and I think he has brought a lot to the canvass. I also like Ari, and the jury is still out on Gabby because she is too new to decide anything about her.
