soapoperanews.net posted about Arleen, then deleted their post and tweet. then reposted. Not sure if it's confirmed yet.

Arleen Sorkin's passing has been reported by rumor sites but nobody reputable yet. I don't know if it's true or not. Soapoperanews.net posted it and then deleted it. EDIT - they later reposted it.

DAYS parties for anniversaries are always just whoever happens to be on set that day. It has nothing to do with who is being honored. They don't organize a party. They just order balloons and a cake and then ask the actors in the building to come over to the balloons for a few minutes of speeches and cake. This happens all the time, no matter who the honoree is.

The article you quoted didn't say Brian Robbins, the CEO of Paramount Pictures. The article says the Bells bought the home of Brian Roberts, the CEO of Comcast which owns NBCUniversal. https://www.mansionglobal.com/articles/couple-who-sold-malibu-mansion-to-beyonce-and-jay-z-pick-up-beverly-hills-pad-for-20-1-million-2ca8958d

Was this the Glo-by-Jabot house party?

Oh I see I didn't need to post that tweet at all. The tweet showed the new picture and also linked to the website that has this photo. I don't know what was in the ig story back in February, but this is an actual spoiler pic. @Errol Judi Evans in the sparkly wardrobe and the sort-of-Bowie hairstyle Spoiler pic via soapoperaNews.net for episode #15657 (August 10) Source: https://www.soapoperanews.net/2023/08/days-of-our-lives-sneak-peek-pictures.html

[in reply to a comment about the twitter account] That is a reputable twitter account. I would not have posted the tweet otherwise.

Update: @Errol The photo has been tweeted: _ link to tweet _ (Edit - that's probably not the i.g. pic from February. This new pic is a spoiler pic.)

LOL, so SOD says these scenes were filmed after the Christmas holiday break, and GV says these scenes were filmed "over three months ago". But from Jason47's notes of the *average* tape-to-airtime, we know this was filmed approximately in February. Plus February was when the information was first leaked.

Michael Fairman clarified on August 3rd: "According to reps at Days of our Lives, Gerhardt will play Eric for five episodes which will stream on Peacock over the next three weeks in August." https://michaelfairmantv.com/jason-gerhardt-steps-in-for-greg-vaughan-on-days-of-our-lives/2023/08/03/ I think I can post that here since it's not a spoiler in that Gerhardt began airing today.

Short answer: I don't know. Long answer: Former Days headwriter Sheri Anderson is on that fi-core list. The list says she took ficore status in 2023, which caused some assumptions. But that doesn't necessarily mean she is doing headwriting for Days as many assumed. She could be doing other writing tasks at Days, or even working on other writing tasks elsewhere. Deadline published an indepth report on July 25 about the Sony investigation into the horrific abuse by producer-director Alarr (bullying and sexual abuse against cast/crew/staff) and Deadline published a few more reports since, and he was finally fired on August 4. In those reports, there *seemed* to be a implication that Alarr was doing a lot of headwriter-type duties until he was fired two days ago. He had inserted himself into control of cast/crew/staff and even public relations. He may or may not have been (sort of) the "acting headwriter" but he had taken over everything. From Deadline on July 25: "Meanwhile, Alarr continues as co-executive producer and director. Overall, his presence on the set has been scaled back over the past couple of months, sources said, though it is unclear whether it is due to the investigation; the writers strike, which has shifted some of Alarr’s attention to keeping scripts being generated after a number of WGA members walked off; or some other reason. (Daytime dramas continue to produce scripts during a writers strike using fi-core WGA writers or temporary non-union writers, with some series producers also known to pitch in.)" Furthermore, fi-core writers are uncredited on some shows, so whatever ficore writers are working at Days as a headwriter, story consultant, associate headwriter, breakdown writer, dialogue writer, script editor, continuity coordinator, etc, they *maybe* might be uncredited when their Days episodes eventually air. So we might not learn who they were unless it's revealed in some other way.

____________________ RavenWhitney replied with a clarification and a list a link for WGA-east On this post https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/65042-deadline-days-of-our-lives-misconduct-investigation-against-co-ep-albert-alarr/?do=findComment&comment=1865701 Too big for me to quote. And yes thank you, @RavenWhitney . I had missed that list until today! The datestamp of the sourcecode of the WGA-E's fi-core page looks like it was updated (or at least edited) June 19, 2023. WGAW (WGA-West) fi-core list: (last update July 26, 2023) https://www.wga.org/members/membership-information/wgaw-financial-core-list Going back to the original conversation - Sonja Alarr is *NOT* on either the East or West list, so presumably she is striking? Since she's not on the ficore list, she could have been writing credited scripts up until the strike began. But thankfully she won't be on set anymore.

@Liberty City update to our earlier convo on this thread. I found some names I had missed. WGAW (WGA-West) fi-core list: (list updated July 26, 2023) https://www.wga.org/members/membership-information/wgaw-financial-core-list WGAE (WGA-East) fi-core list (updated as of June 19, 2023) https://www.wgaeast.org/enforcement/wgae-financial-core-list

UPDATE - the WGA-East finally listed their members who went fi-core. They updated their site June 19, 2023, but I had missed it. They don't give dates of when each person chose fi-core status. They just give everyone who is. https://www.wgaeast.org/enforcement/wgae-financial-core-list/ Both the West and East lists say "fi-core is forever" at the top of their lists.

You just quoted where it says that! it says WGAW - that's WGA-West. I know the list is on the main WGA site, but the list itself is WGAW. Also the URL of the list contains "wgaw" https://www.wga.org/members/membership-information/wgaw-financial-core-list

*WGA-West* listed any/all of their writers who have gone fi-core - if you look closely at their page it says "WGAW" at the top of the ficore list on the current website. *WGA-East* supposedly doesn't normally reveal their writers who go fi-core. According to what Variety said in 2008, the only reason we know who from East went fi-core in 2007-2008 is that they were outed in a letter. That is my understanding - I detailed what I mean about that at this post on the strike thread: https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/62620-2023-writers-actors-strike-thread/?do=findComment&comment=1865104 But I don't want to derail this "Alarr finally fired" discussion! Celebrating that he's gone!

https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/greg-vaughan-temporarily-recast-at-days2/ "unable to film to finish out the season before the show went on a holiday break at the end of 2022." The studio was dark three weeks in late February / early March, so maybe that's what was intended? https://jason47.com/days/productionschedule.html Also they had a typo because they said Greg Vaughan will temporarily be played by Jason Gerhardt. But they meant Eric Brady will be temp played by Gerhardt.

I don't know what (if anything) Judi said on IG. My understanding is that Judi posted a photo on her instagram stories in February -- and that photo matches what was described in the Deadline article. I don't have the photo. Jason47 believes it and Jason posted it on his facebook. Jason isn't known to post things unless he can verify it. I mean if she taped this in February then it should air in the next few weeks and we'll know for sure.
