Rumors of Their Deaths Are Greatly Exaggerated! When the BLOG revealed that 8 characters will be leaving the show this May, the writer began getting guesses and questions about who could be among them. "I think people were intrigued all along, but when they heard about the supercouple is when things really took off, and people really want to know who it is. And now, it's just become a huge guessing game because people are trying to see who they think is being written off and trying to plug them into the ways we've said people are being written out."...says the headwriter. "I've gotten a lot of guesses as to who is leaving. But, ironically, no one has gotten any correct, yet!"...jokes the writer. "There are a lot of Cassie guesses. And as for the supercouple, a lot of John and Marlena guesses. I would hate to say ANYTHING and ruin the suspense...but rumors of their deaths, if you will, are greatly exaggerated!" "I am a big Cassie and Alexis Thorpe fan, and I can promise she won't be going anywhere. But there will be a H U G E change in her storyline this May. In fact, she'll be moving into a new storyline very soon. And as for John and Marlena, they are not going anywhere. They are in a storyline right now that I don't think any other show has done before - giving both halves of a supercouple amnesia, simultaneously, and having them slowly finding their way back to each other. If it's happened before, I'm definitely not aware. But they won't be going anywhere either. They will be back by the end of May and just in time for a whole new story....without Stefano!"

'SUNSET' MEETS SALEM! "Days Of Our Lives" has announced today that Sarah Buxton will be returning to the show this June! She will not, however, be returning to her former role of Crystal Galore whom she played in the summer of 2004. Fans remember Crystal as the ex-friend of Nicole who be-friended Marlena and led Marlena to her "death" in May of 2004. She aired through the summertime. This time around, however, Buxton will be playing ANNIE DOUGLAS, the character she played on the deceased NBC owned and operated soap opera, "Sunset Beach." Annie was a fiery red-head who was always up to no good. She stopped at nothing to get what she wanted, but she did have a relatability and vulnerability about her. The show is very excited to have her join the show. "This is our second crossover. Our first was with Kim Ulrich (Ivy, PASSIONS.) That has been very successful. Ivy's home is Harmony, though. That was always meant to be temporary. Buxton has inked a long-term contract with us. She's on the show for the long haul."...says the new headwriter. "She'll be popping up in June. Fans will NOT BELIEVE how she'll come into the fold. She's not going to have any connections to anyone in Salem. She's starting anew in Salem. But she is brought to town for a purpose. And that's the beginning of the story. Fans' mouths will drop open when they learn who has brought her to Salem and why. It's the beginning of a whole new story. 'SUN' fans will remember that Annie had some trouble finding love. This time, she will, and you won't believe that either!

SUPERCOUPLE O - U - T ! Heads continue to roll backstage at DAYS. The set is abuzz that one of the show's most popular and hottest couples will be leaving the show at the end of May in a SHOCKING re-write. "We had a summer storyline planned for them, but we decided to take the story in a new direction. We're going to miss them. I'm going to miss writing for them. The show will not be the same, but I hope to bring them back one day when we can focus on them with the attention they and their fans deserve."...says the headwriter. Is the new writer worried about fan backlash after all of these cast changes? "No, not really. Most of the exits we've done so far have been characters, I believe, most fans wanted to see gone - Tony, Patrick, Chelsea, Phillip, and a few more in May I can't talk about. They just were not very enjoyable. Stefano and Wayne (Northrop) are still loved by fans, but that is purely storyline-dictated. We do have a bunch of exits coming in May...and this supercouple now makes #7 and #8. This is all part of the plan to get the show back on track. We had a bunch of exits in December. And this is the second onslaught. This will be the first casting news where fans are really shocked and upset. And they'll be even more upset when they see how they are written out. It's very open-ended. But that means that I'm really interested in bringing them back one day to see them finish out their story. But the opportunity is too great. The couple has never been at a phase like this in their lives, and I feel it is best to see them go right now." "Every now and again, you have to shake up the show and make sure people are watching. This is one of those times." Don't Miss The Action-Packed May Sweeps that will leave you reeling! Which supercouple is saying goodbye?

Longtime Fan Favorite O - U - T ! Unfortunately for fans, Steve Blackwood who has played fan favorite, Bart, Stefano's henchman, on and off since the late nineties, is no longer with the show. Bart met a fiery end on Tuesday, April 18th when Stefano had to sacrifice Bart in order to save himself. The show regretfully does not have any plans to have the character return and wishes the actor the best.

NORTHROP OUT!?! MELVIN IN!?! It is now confirmed that Wayne Northrop (Stefano, above.) is one of the six actors leaving the show during the extended sweeps period this May. The show promises fans that his character of Stefano will get his comeuppance. "We'll miss Wayne, but Steffy has it coming! He's done some of his most evil stunts during this stint! We revealed Alex as Stefano in December or January, and since then, he's taken Marlena captive, he's cured Jack and has blackmailed him into being one of his pawns, he's erased John's memory, he's broken up Lexie's marriage, he's blackmailed Celeste into being one of his pawns again, he has Cassie and Tek working for him as pawns, he's been passing off the real Georgia as his daughter, Paige, for YEARS, he's almost killed Shawn Sr. multiple times....it's time for the fans to see him get what is coming to him! There's going to be a huge showdown in the middle of May."...says the writer. "But it's Stefano. We have not seen the last of him!" No word on his last airdate, however, it will most likely be the last days of May or the first days of June. As for a possible return, the show says..."He plays Stefano...how can he be gone for good?" In a shocking turn of events, Rachel Melvin (ex-Chelsea, above) is returning to the show in the newly created role of the mysterious, Erika. The show is very excited to have her back. "When I took over in December, the character of Chelsea was blatantly not working, and she was hated by almost the entire audience. We were faced with the tough decision of writing out an actress we really enjoyed because the character flopped."....says the writer. Now, the show can have its cake and eat it too. "Now, what we're doing is telling the Georgia story the way it should be told in the form of Peyton List (Paige) and bringing on a character for Melvin! She is going to be an entirely new character. I think DAYS fans will really enjoy the story we're going to tell. She'll have nothing to do with Georgia or Chelsea except for the fact that she looks a lot like her...and that is something that will not go unnoticed to Bo, Hope, Billie, Shawn, Max, Cassie, and Abby. She's going to impact Max's life in a big way."
