I asked Michele DeVito and she doesn't remember JFP firing anyone on her first day. Michele was there in the studio has a great memory. I am choosing to believe someone who was there in the studio over someone who wasn't. I guess it's not really important in the grand scheme of things.

Well, it was Paul Michael Valley's choice but he made it because he was furious with JFP for firing Chris Tucci on JFP's first day at AW.

Please, Donna, get things right, for once. That never happened.

how do soaps handle deals with older people? Ik Anna lee got a lifetime contract.hes 81 now, he would be 86 if he got the same. Not trying to be morbid but he barely stands up anymore. Every scene is on a desk or chair. 

Seriously?? Eric was standing up fine in the Friday episode that I just watched. 

I can gets Days both at noon and 1 pm. On Tuesday, I saw the Abe Paulina wedding at noon and the other NBC station also showed Days and not the hearings at 1 pm. And today, at about 1:03 pm, our NBC station switched to Days and cut off Lester Holt. I was surprised by that given the vast repercussions of what was going on in today's news.  

What are people's thoughts about Days:Beyond Salem competing in the big categories? I watched it and enjoyed it but I don't think a 5 episode show belongs in the same categories as a show that did 250 (give or take) episodes. It's easier to pick 2 out of 5 shows to submit than to pick 2 out of 250. It's not a level playing field, in my opinion. There are so many things wrong with the Daytime Emmys (Younger actor and actress combined into 1 category; 'Guest' Actor who stays on the show for years, for example) and this just adds to the problems. That said, Good Luck to all.

I am going to disagree.  She was bad.  She was bad at the morgue and bad at the pub.  I know Cady is a very capable actress, but this was terrible.  I can cut her a little slack since she's a recast, but it was a big NO for me.  I didn't really like Matt's take on this either, but Cady was the worst by far.

Capital letters doesn't make anyone's opinion a fact. Cady in my opinion was really bad and was the last go around as Jennifer. A complete meltdown with no tears? Please. She is playing a grieving mother who lost her only daughter and can't squeeze out 1 tear. That to me is terrible as an actress. She also is using weird voices/accents and maybe is just trying too hard. Cady was good on ATWT, she just hasn't been good on DAYS for me. It's fine if others don't agree with me.

Glad I’m not the only one who thought she was awful. I don’t think a single thing she did connected. No way did I feel like I was watching a mother grieving her murdered daughter. She made weird faces,with emotion out of the 1940s — and no tears.

Matt Ashford was lousy, too. Cady saved him because she was so much worse.

I thought that Cady was awful as well. She did not play those scenes well. Cady could not drum up the emotion needed to move the audience to feel about a mother losing a daughter. It just wasn't there from Cady.

Was there ever any information on why Morgan Fairchild was signed to only a one year contract as Sydney Chase? If I understood correctly Jane Elliot was an EP at CITY first year. Did she ever have any other experience in production? What was the point of marrying Tracy Q to a member of the Soleito family?

Jane Elliot was never an EP at The City. 

Love seeing Doris Belack in the clips. She had just come off from The Doctors. Looking forward to seeing the 1981 episodes. 

@Errol Do you know if this is going to be promoted on other ABC shows? (GMA, The View, GMA 3rd hour)? Or Kelly and Ryan? I know that Kelly and Ryan is a syndicated show and not on ABC. This milestone deserves promotion and so far I haven't seen where it will be cross promoted, which is a shame. 15,000 episodes deserves to be celebrated. 

I like Robert Scott Wilson and miss him. Happy to hear he will be back soon. 

Cady McClain was off in her scenes. Not impressed with her acting choices. I don't know why Melissa Reeves wasn't there. I'd have preferred Melissa to be in this storyline.

Billy Flynn is doing great work. He's nailing it. Emmy worthy for sure.

It's not a good look for Frank. Several actors have now publicly stated how they got their jobs and the characters have not been particularly popular. Whatever happened to the writers creating a character, they hold auditions and then make a decision based on seeing many people for the role. Now, all it takes is a text to the EP. SMH.

It's great to be getting some first hand knowledge of behind the scenes stuff from Sharon Gabet. She's a riot.

It's Maeve KINKEAD.

I found out about the preemptions on November 12, which is the day I posted about it on the web. I'm guessing the people at Days probably found out a little sooner than that. They were taping April at that point, so they would have written through some point in May at that point So this was always the time frame where the episodes would get back on track. 

Thanks Jason. You're the best. I didn't realize that they got the news about the Olympics in November. I thought it was later than that. Anyway, thanks! 

@JAS0N47It seems as though Days is all caught up after the 2 week Olympic and 1 day preemption as todays episode was clearly meant for Friday the 13th of May. Any idea how they caught up so fast? I was under the impression that with the preemptions, they wouldn't get caught up for months. Did they re-edit? 

Donna Bridges is back. 

Don't you just want Ridge to say.......Sheila will you get the hell out of this room! Why the F is Sheila still in that room? I get why but it is so stupid. Come on. This is why soaps lose ratings.

I dread what's ahead for Days. Even if Ron was fired TODAY (which I know won't happen), the show is taping into October so we can assume that Ron has already written November sweeps so even if he were fired now, we're still stuck seeing his crap for the rest of the year. 

I just can't with this show anymore. It's so stupid. I don't want the cast and crew to lose their jobs but I was thrilled to see that Days was in last place in the 18-49 demo in all of daytime last week. The show is ridiculous. Bloody cakes, Sarah is now a 5 year old. The devil b.s. Days deserves its last place rating. Please fire Ron Carlivati. He's out of ideas that can get the ratings up. It's very frustrating as a long time fan to see what is happening to this show and Corday as usual will sit back and watch the destruction happen. 

Too bad that there was the falling out with Susan Helmut and Liza. There was a crack in that family. Liza hasn't really said much.

@allmc2008 You DO understand that you are not the only one who has these documents, right?

It took a LONG time to get here, but dang Y&R is good again. Can't wait for the next episode. 

Days ratings dropped when Sonny and Will came back.

What could Y&R and GH have submitted that was worse than what Days submitted?  SMH.
