Members Terri Posted October 1, 2006 Members Share Posted October 1, 2006 A friend of mine shared this with me and I wanted to share it with y'all. ENJOY! "A New Days Dawning" by Carolyn Hinsey. Days has a new writer and his stories start airing next week. HS says they are going back to the couples. The men are stronger. The women are smart. Marlena's going back to being a heroine and J/M are going back to the adventurous couple they were. Going to start moving Bo/Hope back together to get over the marriage crisis and the baby will be central to their storyline. Steve and Kayla will be really central to everything that happens in the next few months. They will be front and center. These are the couples along with Sami and Lucas we will be concentrating on. He has to leave the younger set alone for awhile due to Jason Cook, Farah Fath and Kyle Brandt all quitting the show. Shawn's going to be recast mid storyline. Philip will go off and return in a few months with a new actor in the role. Shawn will find his way back to Belle and Claire but do it in the usual circuitous route of Shawn Brady. Part of that will involve a former prostitute named Willow. He will also get involved with EJ at a time when Wells is coming under suspicion for being the black glove criminal. That story may tie in with Stefano. Action will pick up and the stories will make more sense. "For me it's about telling the story in a logical way where a lot of things happen, the story moves fast and the characters remain who they are and don't arbitrarily start acting in some other way just to justify a plot move. I also want to reinvest in the families and the romances and remind people why they're so important to us." says Sheffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Casey Posted October 1, 2006 Members Share Posted October 1, 2006 Wow...what a concept! I...I...I'm just so excited! And scared! I haven't been this excited about a show since...well...AMC, 2 years ago. Thanks Terri! P.S. And there is NO mention of MeMe or a recast! *throws confetti* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ponz Posted October 1, 2006 Members Share Posted October 1, 2006 I'm a little surprised that Hogan comes across as being so couples-centric. It does not seem compatible with what I have read about him or his writing. I know he said he was going to adapt his writing style to DAYS but being told for so long by other posters that he is "not a supercouple writer", these comments come as a surprise (though not an unpleasant one). Apart from the continued Shelle pimping, it all sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PhoenixRising05 Posted October 2, 2006 Members Share Posted October 2, 2006 Sounds great. He really is saying all the right things. I agree with Ponz-it is surprising him being so couple-centric but I suspect he knows that he has to at Days to succeed. One thing he does is study a show and it's history so if he did that that explains why he wants to focus on the couples. I love that he said he isn't going to have people acting out of character to suit a plot. That is great news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sungrey Posted October 2, 2006 Members Share Posted October 2, 2006 Aaa, come on! Feel the Shelle love slowly building for this couple! Seriously, Hogan was not much for couples-centric writing until he saw Jack and Carly on ATWT. That's when he admitted he got it, he saw how much chemistry Maura West and Michael Park had.

Members King Posted October 2, 2006 Members Share Posted October 2, 2006 Sounds good. Thanks for posting. But I've read enough. Time to put the money where his mouth is, for ALL of our sakes and for DAYS' sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheyenne Posted October 2, 2006 Members Share Posted October 2, 2006 I have to admit... I feel the same way. Everything sounds good as "always". Patch & Kayla, Lumi, Bope, Shelle, a recast for Philip... I like the fact that he's not putting Shelle together right away. That would be too easy. I'm glad Marlena will change. I'm so sick and tired of her being the victim all the time. ..."telling the story in a logical way"... He said it before but I'm so glad to hear it again!!!

Members Mitchapalooza Posted October 2, 2006 Members Share Posted October 2, 2006 Sounds good to me, I guess now we just have to wait for Hogan's work to start!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bree Posted October 2, 2006 Members Share Posted October 2, 2006 I'm starting to root for Shelle again, now that we have a Shawn that actually looks age appropriate next to Martha, and one that can deliver the goods, acting wise. Jason looked like Martha's younger brother, not her ex-boyfriend. I hope Mimi is not recast---at least not for a few years. FF's acting turned me off to the character. Although she is not part of a core family by blood, and we do need those on DAYS, I think she should stay off the canvas for a long time until they will get a stronger recast, and one with a voice that doesn't sound like a mall brat that is upset because the sale at The Limited is over. Shawn's involvement with EJ sounds interesting. I hope Sheffer and his new writers will continue more interaction between different characters. Reilly had everyone isolated in their own bubbles, it's great to see more people sharing scenes together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members juppiter Posted October 6, 2006 Members Share Posted October 6, 2006 I still will always believe that Hogan hated Jack and Carly, and said he liked them in interviews because TPTB wouldn't let him break them up. He certainly tried though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
