The next murder victim

and under contract, as well as Wally Kurth and Judi Evans (Justin and Adrienne); but, yes, a lot only signed on for 3-6 months.  I know Gabi’s return is short-term.  Wonder if she will leave Salem with Ari, which makes me also believe, for some reason, that Will may be a victim of the serial killer.  Maybe that will be the reason Sonny will make a short return, along with Sami.  I really think the cast won’t actually balance out until somewhere around May sweeps, and then what’s beyond that will depend if the show is renewed.   At least that’s what I believe, since Corday says the 50th anniversary shows will continue for 9 months or so, so that’s why I’m figuring May sweeps.  I think Martha Madison and the young actress portraying teen Claire, as well as the rest of the teen set (with the exception of Chase) will be long-term.
