Frankly, I think Betty Corday handed the reins over to her son, because she knew he'd never make it as a professional musician. She could pass away knowing that, at the very least, Ken and his family would be taken care of. It's just a shame that a legacy that has stretched across almost six decades potentially could end like this.

That's why I think it's so important that people push back against the media and point up Trump's own, apparent mental and physical decline. Biden might be a "well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory," but I'll take that over a malignant narcissist with an authoritarian bent anyday.

To think: there was a time when we couldn't get even that much from our soaps, lol.

Remember when Nicole couldn't seem to live down her past as "Misty Circle"? This entire mess is bringing back memories of the hell she (Nicole) went through years ago trying to move on from her days as an underaged porn star.

I agree.

This just makes me miss the Al Rabin/Shelley Curtis era even more.

I think DAYS could come back from this, but Sony would need to step in and make serious changes BTS - meaning, of course, they would have to push Ken Corday out as EP. The question is, would Ken Corday allow for those changes to be made, or would he get in Sony's way? That's why I said before that it wouldn't surprise me if NBCU/Peacock just decides to flush the show and move on, because there's no way in Melaswen that Corday's gonna relinquish his hold over his parents' legacy.

I agree. Hey, that's fine with me. Let him take a job hosting a game show in L.A. I agree!

Like I said, pairing up Drew and Nina sounds crazy, given the circumstances. But, like I also say, an audience will go wherever you want them to, so long as you take the proper steps to get them there.

I'm telling you, where there's smoke....! Even if these rumors are just that, I still think there's more to the story behind their firing than what we know.

If Drew was played by someone other than Cameron Mathison, I would push him and Nina together. (Yeah, Drew falling for the woman who turned him into the SEC sounds crazy, but if written properly, it could work.)

I hope AZ is taking care of herself - not just financially, but physically and emotionally as well. She's had to put up with so much over the years just to earn a paycheck. I'm truly rooting for her to come out whole on the other side.

Josh Swickard makes Jason Thompson look like Drake Hogestyn. IOW, I agree.

Make no mistake: getting older is a bitch. I just hope RM is healthy and happy.

You may have a point, lol.

I wouldn't be surprised if it does. Let's be honest: DAYS was on borrowed time anyway. But NBCU/Peacock might decide renewing the show isn't worth all the headaches this has brought on. And if/when they reach that decision, it will be all Ken Corday's fault, too. Boy, between this and the mess GH has created over Cracker Barrel Jagger, daytime is really going down in flames. Me neither.

It's like Josh Griffith is practically BEGGING to be fired again, lol.

I agree with you both. For sure, if DAYS survives past this, I think many actors will think twice before agreeing to join or rejoin the cast, which, IMO, will shrink their talent pool even further.

This is what happens when you spend more time on the golf course than you do at the show that your parents worked so hard to keep on the air.

I agree. Again, I'm not suggesting I'd want to see exclusively younger writers, because I think that would be a rather ageist attitude to take, and I think there's enough ageism going around in H'wood already. But why can't daytime look and see whether there are any primetime writers out there who might take soaps in new directions as well?

I want daytime written by people who can write, regardless of age, and who have the freedom to write characters and stories as they see fit to write them, too.

LOL!!

Instead of recycling writers, I say bring on some fresh talent. Not necessarily younger writers, but maybe writers who haven't worked in daytime before.

I can't say that I blame him. Money's good, but it's not that good; and if you believe in yourself enough, I think, you can always land another job somewhere else. I just wish PM had landed on a drama series outside of daytime. I think he's much too good now for this industry.
