Members DrewH Posted August 16, 2006 Members Share Posted August 16, 2006 And you don't think there are Bonnie fans out there? SHIMI fans? HOTRICK fans? Have you been to Soap News and Scoops forum in a while? They love Patrick and Hope. They love Shawn and Mimi. What's to say that Austin and Carrie aren't as important as Shawn and Mimi?

Members King Posted August 16, 2006 Members Share Posted August 16, 2006 Yeah. I think J/J, A/C, and Frankie have larger fanbases than the Lockhart's. IMO, it would be wise to rid the show of the Lockharts before any more Brady's, Horton's, Devereaux's, or Reed's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DrewH Posted August 16, 2006 Members Share Posted August 16, 2006 Umm, we wouldn't have the Reeds, Bradys, Deverauxs, etc. if the Hortons weren't cut. And IMO they are the core family of Days of our Lives, are they not? The Hortons had to be cut for us to even be introduced to the Bradys. And that was done over 2 decades ago! I think the show is going to be fine introducing new families and characters. That's how you grow a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted August 16, 2006 Administrator Share Posted August 16, 2006 Well, I wasn't there when AP was fired, so I don't know EXACTLY where he was told of his firing. But I'm pretty sure he wasn't told on the curb at Burbank when he got out of the car. That's just absurd. LOL He was probably told by one of the producers in an office.

Members DaysGal Posted August 16, 2006 Members Share Posted August 16, 2006 I don't really want to get into anything in this thread, but as a Shimi fan I'm absolutely livid with this show for getting rid of them. They were immensely popular in the beginning, but I feel like Corday interfered and didn't want that to get in his way of precious Shelle. So, he had Jim Reilly write Mimi with this huge secret to make her the witch so everyone would hate her. I can understand how King Reilly feels about A/C to have other posters come in and say that these two are not needed, because I had to live through the same thing with people here posting how much they hated Mimi AND Farah. So, I understand what KR is saying. It's never nice to be on the receiving end of people celebrating a character or actor's demise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted August 16, 2006 Members Share Posted August 16, 2006 There is a quote from Bruno, Peck's agent, in the TVGuide article saying he was called up to the Producer's office out of the blue. Maybe someone used the phrase "kicked to the curb" and it was mistranslated or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chanel Posted August 16, 2006 Members Share Posted August 16, 2006 I can understand why someone would interpret this the wrong way. It says he was arriving to work, so one must assume he didn't even get inside the studio, but I don't think Days would be so cruel to fire someone outside of Burbank, thats just wrong. Who knows.

Members Vee Posted August 16, 2006 Members Share Posted August 16, 2006 You are totally entitled to say that, but so was anyone who hated what Reilly did when he came back in 2003. The shoe was on the other foot then, is all, and I think you should ask how you felt then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted August 16, 2006 Members Share Posted August 16, 2006 I've always been very aware of people's dislike of JER's work. And I've always been very vocal about not loving his work, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted August 16, 2006 Members Share Posted August 16, 2006 Well said. No one wants to see anyone go and everyone is different in who they want to see go and not go. You can't please everyone and Days knows people are going to be pissed. Cuts have to happen though and hopefully the writing and any returns they have planned will help ease the pain. Stefano is a good start. I knew Peck didn't get fired on a curve-it just sounded funny in a bad way. I am hoping they at least called him up to an office. So Sami and Austin really get married? Ok now that is a shocker if true. I doubt they make it through the reception though-when does the wedding start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted August 16, 2006 Members Share Posted August 16, 2006 It's not really a shock, PR. All the wrong couples have gotten through their wedding ceremonies for three years now. Carcus. Phelle. Shimi. Alex/Marlena. Sami/Austin. Frankie/Jen, kinda? But not really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted August 16, 2006 Members Share Posted August 16, 2006 Yeah but it is Sami . When is the last time she had a huge wedding that actually got off (I don't count the Brandon one because they eloped)? That is why it is a shock to me.

Members Chanel Posted August 16, 2006 Members Share Posted August 16, 2006 Well, I don't know if its 100 percent true that Sami/Austin get married, but I am 85% sure they get married. AP, blog hinted that a wedding actually happens, and Ali and AP, told some fans in greenville that Sami wasn't going to be humilated at the wedding.

Members King Posted August 16, 2006 Members Share Posted August 16, 2006 True, but I kinda thought this one would happen because clearly current DAYS wants LUMI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
