Dang, how'd you know she wrote those lines, Kenny? And if so, INCREDIBLE!

I think I remember her saying she added the line about Sami liking (whatever that was) in her tea or coffee or whatever. And from that ALONE I thought she was a genius. She really does need to get snapped up, ASAP.

Oooooooh. My GOSH, you must have quite a collection of "Days" stuff on your computer. All the screencaps, YouTube bookmarks, apparently scripts, the "men of 'Days' " pictures (ahem), and the list must go on and on! I used to have a similar collection for "Passions" on my old computer. (I'm STILL pissed I threw that thing away before finding a way, back then, to keep the incredible E/T duet "Kiss Me," even if it was in RealPlayer format!) Ahh, the Web site ET Passion...THOSE were the days!

I do have quite a bunch of Days stuff. Tons of tapes and DVD's. Over 24 hours straight of "Possession" on DVD. I have probably 150 soap magazines from the 90's to now, in great condition in boxes in the closet (mostly Days covers). And yes, I do have a few scripts, LoL. It's interesting to read the notes written in handwriting along the side ("play this scene lightly... will be used as flashback in later episodes..." etc. etc.). Last script I bought was from Captive Island storyline in 2004, but it's just a copy of the original. Lots of fascinating stuff in a script that you wouldn't expect, right down to how long each commercal break will last.

Thanks for the answer. I figured it was something like that, but I also figured some people would assume a Big Brother senerio, so I just wanted it spelled out.

I'm going to be pissed if Y&R fires her the way NBC did. I've read some of her quotes and she's probably not someone I'd agree with politically, but it annoys me that people just hear Osama's name and freak out. I think [!@#$%^&*] should get the chance to take her story to the audience and let people make an informed decision about whether she's too "dangerous" to be writing for a soap. :blink: Has she done Oprah? I think she would be better off if she could lay out her story on that kind of platform and then she might be able to work openly.

    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
