No because Kevin was fired because of the problems with the primetime line-up. Plus, considering that Jeff Zucker, Kevin's boss, came up through the ranks via The Today Show, he probably feels the same way. I don't think Kevin would have said what he said unless he heard it from someone over him.

Ugh. More instability. Another new direction, smack dab in the middle of a giant summer storyline. Another six months of transitional phases. I don't trust Corday to fill these positions with anyone worth the titles.

Steve Wyman, I'm indifferent to. However, if he's really had a big pull in casting (Jeremy, anyone?) and storyline direction over the last several months, I'll be happy to see him go. Take your special effects machine with you!

Hogan Sheffer... I'm iffy about getting rid of him, especially now that the show is picking up.

I'm very uneasy about all of this.

I do have to say, though... it amuses me that Mahaney comes out with this information only after it's already been speculated by the rest of the web. I could've posted the same damn thing, then when it doesn't come to pass, just say that "Things changed, Hogan and Corday made up..." Or if it actually happened, it would look as if I really knew some sh!t.

I'm still annoyed by the comment that there would be a scene during the week of June 4th that viewers would want to "rewind to watch over and over again." He/she then confirmed, on his/her own private forums, that the scene was Willow "falling to her death." We already knew about Willow! LoL Why disguise a spoiler that's already public knowledge as some sort of big secret? Besides, Willow didn't really fall to her death... she just tipped over and hit her head. Even then, the "falling to her death" spoiler (whose wording is arguable) was already spoiled elsewhere on the web, several days before.

I do think that Mahaney gets pieces of inside information from time to time, but he/she also likes to take credit for much more than they should receive credit for.

DAYS would be insane to let Hogan go. Yes, January-May has been horrible, but according to Hogan, there was an outside factor making him write what he was writing. If what Hogan said wasn't true, where is Corday's interview, saying that Hogan is a liar? Hogan is not a bad writer when he gets to write the show his own way. He proved that in October-December, and now he's starting to prove that again. Hogan has been the biggest breath of fresh air on this show since B&C, and I for one, do not want Hogan to leave.

As for Steve Wyman, I don't really care if he goes or not. Yes, he has a lot of history with this show and that is important. But if it gets rid of all of those special effects endings, tehn ADIOS! :D

I agree with everyone who says now is not a good time to change headwriters. Days has really picked up these last few weeks. Maybe HS can get some new co head writers? a la Brash, Cwickly( who just left Y&R) and Beth as his co HW's and this show would rock. Throw Ed Scott in the mix( who left Y&R recently too) and Days would be the best show out there.

Yesterday's episode just showed up on itunes. And in the description, they say Lucas was sprayed with pepper spray from Bart's gun. So it seems like somehow they're getting summaries that detail story points possibly cut out/edited from the show.

interesting.

Yeah, I know. I saw it, and assumed it was that or mace or something. Sorry, didn't mean to imply that scene was totally cut out or anything. I brought it up because a lot of posters kept making fun of it, Lucas reacting like that to water. And I don't remember them specifically saying it was pepper spray in the dialogue. I'm curious if anything else that doesn't make it to the final cut (in terms of details like that, in spoken dialogue) will show up in the iTunes summary. Maybe whole scenes cut for time? It'll be interesting to see.

Finally saw the previews, and tomorrow looks good. Today wasn't BAD bad, but the teen stuff could be toned down (read: disappear). With Doug/Julie and Bope at Doug's Place, Steve/Adrienne and and Steve/Jeremy bitch-out, some Chick angst and some Phelle-ness, it looks like it could be good. :)

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Khan · Posted

      In a way, Denise's inability to decide on which college to attend (before deciding to attend her family's alma mater and the college everyone knew she'd be attending anyway) was a clear signal that the poor girl was a flake and not "college material."  Denise Huxtable was someone who peaked in high school, lol. With guest stars Deborah Adair (ex-Jill, Y&R; ex-Tracy, DYNASTY; ex-Lucy, MP; ex-Kate, DAYS), Christopher Allport (ex-Tim McGowan, AW) and John de Lancie (ex-Eugene, DAYS)! "Frame" is one of those MSW's that you THINK is gonna be paint-by-numbers (no pun intended), and then it surprises you with one of those twist endings that often made episodes so enjoyable. I seriously wish they had gone for a Steven/Bart/Sammy Jo triangle instead, with Steven and Sammy Jo fighting over Bart, lol. And I still think Claudia burning to death at La Mirage was DYNASTY's dumbest cliffhanger. The perfect time to kill off Chase, IMO.  Alas.

      Which is still a form of manipulation. Granted it won't work because Ted isn't interested in Leslie at all no matter how much she tries to make him look like a horrible person. When you consider the situation with Hayley it does make sense why Anita would take that approach.

      Another good one and great episode to start off the week. Confrontations, character moments, movement, and an awful lot of bubbles on display. lol.    I've found myself liking Sara Bibel breakdowns. And this episode might be why. I sense movement of plot going on. And Jazmen being on script duty has already become a highlight for me. So this episode dealing with more fallout from the SilkPress/Eva reveal was another good one. And even got a solid B plot moving in the Vanessa/Doug/Joey storyline...which I just said yesterday...has been the only one of the B plots...that has real build to it so far.    You are not a real soap pariah until you get dragged and a community treats you as such. So basically another old school soap vibe that Eva is giving me. Watching her trying to find her footing only to be read by just about everyone she has encountered has been great. It makes her so rootable. And she's played by an excellent actress. Cuz that quivering lip at the end with her and Anita...ooooo some of you all seem heated for Anita making poor girl cry even though it's her fault. That's great acting. Not to mention writing.    I also love that the side character got their point of view. I loved Mona moving about town trying to get info to avenge Nicole in a way. And she dragged Eva. She read Silk Press Sheila. And that 'enjoy the burn' was well-said. And did I see a spark with Mona and Randy? Hmmm. I don't mind.

          I also didn't mind that Martin/Kat scene. I enjoy their sibling relationship so far. And I feel like the right thing to do to keep them close as they support their mother. It even made sense that Martin would soften to the idea of Eva as part of the family given their brief scene at the start of this storyline. Meanwhile, NO from Kat. lol. And she's already questioning the DNA test...OF COURSE SHE IS. But again...that avail...her and Eva being the SAME age. Twins. I just felt the writers are really foreshadowing that heavy. Meanwhile, the SilkPress saga is far from over.   I love the parade of Ted Visitors. LMAO!!! I thought Dani vs Ted was pretty good. But I about fell out when Anita walked up in there like old school Sonny Corinthos. And I hollered with Anita wiping the floor with Ted with Dani in the background like Jason Morgan. Watch your step, Theodore. Anita was giving Boss Bitca and I was living.    That said...I didn't like Anita making poor Eva cry. But as was said above...the stuff with Hayley is still too fresh on the Duprees' mind. So sadly understandable, Anita set down the law.    Uh oh. Dani saw Vanessa with Joey. Granted they are not the BFFs, but I do hope that that means we are getting a Dani/Vanessa scene. And I loved that we got another step in the B storyline. Doug fighting (and failing) in his addiction. Meanwhile, Vanessa resisted hers. And Joey did not look happy.    And saying the best for last. I LOVE Nicole vs Silk Press Sheila. Ooooo Nicole got under her skin good. And I loved it. I also hollered at Silk Press couldn't even be fake nice for 5 whole minutes to her. DD did soooooooo good. The body language. The looks. The inflections on just the right words. I LOOOVVVE that confrontation and looking forward to more since she clearly verbally cracked SilkPress's face. Meanwhile, I was just as taken aback at Ted showing up at Silk Press Sheila's place. I also thought it was another fantasy. Nope. And then SilkPress put the moves on him and went just a little more cray cray in the coda.    Just such a great episode.

      Nope still in development. ABC/Disney are having their upfronts today though, so there's a very slight hope we might get an update.

      I agree. Especially after SilkPress got back to her apartment and started to mock Nicole. Her dislike for Nicole and seeing her as a threat to her getting Teddy Bear is growing worse. So I could see her pulling a kidnapping on Nicole at some point. If anything she was going there to poke the bear and got pressed (pun unintended) when the bear gathered her.   Completely understandable.
