What If These TV Characters Appeared In Season 2 Of Empire?

This dream cast for Empire would be FIRE!

If you don't know by now, Fox's Empire is the hot new television series about the Hip Hop entertainment industry.

The show is FULL of drama- Old School TV drama, mostly because of this Ride or Die chick, Cookie Lyon.

The First season was fabulously insane, so the Second season will probably take it to the next level with more drama and new characters.

And speaking of new characters, let's play a game... What if we could cast the second season with other TV characters? Think of this as fan-fiction with a twist.

So, let's give it a go!

Stefano DiMera from Days of Our Lives

NBC / Via complex.com

This man has died, cloned people, murdered folks, died, conquered the crime world, and did I already mentioned DIED? Yes, Stefano is considered the greatest soap opera villain of all time (via Soap Opera Digest). Imagine if he showed up at Empire Entertainment, ready to take over and claiming that Andre is his son.

Richie Ventura from Looking

HBO / Via junkee.com

Since 'Looking" is dead, the only likable character should live on as Jamal's love interest. Patrick was dull and blah, but Jamal could be the guy that gets Richie together.

Khadijah James from Living Single

Fox / Via benthethird.com

Flavor magazine could be the premier source of Hip Hop news and gossip. It would be amazing to see Khadijah stroll into Cookie's office, looking for the next hot scoop.

Ashley Banks from Fresh Prince of Bel Air

NBC / Via bustle.com

When we last saw Ashley, she was heading to performing arts school in New York. Now, she could be a huge pop artist, hoping to sign with Empire.

Malcolm Winters from The Young and the Restless

CBS / Via serialscoop.com

Need a bad 'pretty' boy? Let's bring Malcolm in the mix. In "The Young and the Restless", he's a top notch photographer and a corporate spy. Having Shemar's sexy self in Empire may cause drama for Cookie, Anika, and maybe Porsha.

Titus Andromedon from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

NBC

Titus could deliver some of the best lines and possibly, the best musical performances on the show. Since Jamal has came out to the world, Titus could see this as his opportunity to take Peeno Noir to the next level.

Amanda Woodward from Melrose Place

CW / Via englishclass.jp

How interesting it would be if a white woman wanted a piece the Hip Hop industry? Well, Amanda Woodward would be the one to do that. Known for being manipulative and ruthless, she would do what she needs to do to gain control.

Samantha Jones from Sex and the City

HBO / Via heraldsun.com.au

Having Samantha in a couple of episodes would be sublime. Imagine her PR firm stirring up press for Empire's clients. Plus watching Samantha 'flirt' with Lucious might set Cookie off.
