I know it's silly to say, and okay, cliche, but after hearing some of the things about JER and the suggestion that he's deliberately trying to sabotage "Passions" and by extension, "Days," I'm starting to seriously question the man's sanity. Who's to say -- and again, cliche -- that this writer who can dream up these demented plots isn't living, in some way, his own "story" that he's penned for himself? Drake is John, for example. John is a character on "Days." I don't know...when someone eats, sleeps and dreams story, as Reilly basically has said he does, you really have to wonder.

OMG, he sort of scares me now.

I never thought that would happen.

Oh, lord. Don't let Rion's loose grasp on reality (or whatever he still has) get to you too.

OMGod. They said on "Inside Edition" tonight that the attacker was ordered to stop watching Days of Our Lives.

Can you imagine that as a punishment?! RoFL!

"No more Days for you!"

"No more Days for you!"

But how could they regulate that? In the privacy of one's home...hmm...things happen.

wtf! I was laughing was ass off

At least if there's any silver lining to this it's that it's extra publicity for DAYS...

When I read this thread, it was a little funny but really it's serious. I mean, his family must be terrified. I am glad he got a restraining order.

He can't watch Days now? Okay.....

And Rion. I laughed, and almost had a heartattack when I read your posts! I mean, I can't believe you! LOL!

Welcome to last night!

Last night will be remembered as one of the most surreal and hilarious nights ever.

I am not sure if this has been posted or if its the right place to post but I was reading the news on Iwon.com and this is the headline: Man Enters Plea in Soap Star Case.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A man accused of trying to exorcise the devil from a "Days of Our Lives" star after bursting into his Malibu backyard pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and entering private property without permission.

In addition, a judge granted a restraining order sought by actor Drake Hogestyn against Carl Raymond Cheney of Oregon, who entered his plea Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Hogestyn, who plays John Black on the popular NBC soap, said in his request for the order that he was on a ladder on New Year's Eve when Cheney ran at his daughter screaming, "'Where is he? I will cast him out.'"

Cheney clutched a Bible while recalling an episode of the soap about demonic possession, the documents state, adding that the intruder also grabbed Hogestyn's wife and pushed her backward.

Hogestyn said he jumped from a ladder and intercepted the intruder.

"I grabbed him by the hair, spun him around, delivered a right cross to the chin that sent him down the stairs," the actor said.

"This sick person Carl Raymond Cheney believed that Satan was in me and that he was the Christ," he wrote.

Hogestyn and his son restrained the man with duct tape until police arrived and arrested him.

After entering his plea, Cheney was released on his own recognizance and ordered to stay with his father. He was also ordered to undergo psychological counseling and take his prescribed medications.

He is scheduled for sentencing on Feb. 6.

Here's another article from People online magazine:

Man Tries to Exorcise Days of Our Lives Star

Some say TV is evil, but Carl Raymond Cheney actually tried to exorcise the devil from a soap star.

The Oregon man pleaded no contest Wednesday to misdemeanor battery and entering private property without permission after allegedly breaking into the Malibu home of Days of Our Lives star Drake Hogestyn on New Year's Eve.

"This sick person Carl Raymond Cheney believed that Satan was in me and that he was the Christ," Hogestyn wrote in his request for a restraining order, which was granted, the Associated Press reports.

Hogestyn, who plays John Black on the NBC soap, said in his filing that he was standing on a ladder when Cheney, clutching a Bible, ran at his daughter screaming, "Where is he? I will cast him out."

As TMZ.com reported, according to the documents, Cheney was "calling me by my stage name ... recalling past (Days) storylines, especially the demonic possession of several years past. But more important, he thought I was dead, because the show that aired on Friday 12.29.06 left my character John Black shot & presumed dead."

Hogestyn charges that Cheney grabbed his wife and pushed her backward before the actor jumped from the ladder and confronted him.

In a scene straight out of a daytime drama, Hogestyn says he "grabbed him by the hair, spun him around, delivered a right cross to the chin that sent him down the stairs."

Hogestyn and his son restrained Cheney with duct tape until police arrived.

Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 6. Until then, Cheney, released on his own recognizance, was ordered to stay with his father, undergo psychological counseling and take his prescribed medications.
