balanced show with vets in the front and center, higher production value. Possibly YR writers. Recast Jeremy, bring back Shayna Rose, and end this DiMera SL. Possibly bring back a couple of favorties (Kim, Shane in particular to end thier SL) and make DOOL's last two years its best!

I'd say music, but Corday is in composes the music and is pretty much in charge of that with no one else. The music is not changing.

I pray that the SFX leave along with Wyman. Ed Scott's been on Y&R for years. Hopefully, he puts more class into DAYS.

I wouldn't mind an updated opening, finally involving characters, while keeping the hourglass as the main focus. :)

I don't know if Ed Scott could make casting decisions so early, but if he's able to, I have a few suggestions. Fire Shelley Henning and bring back Shayna Rose as Stephanie. Bring back Billy Warlock as Frankie. Offer Ashley Benson a promise for an actual story as Abby. :D

I would love Ashley Benson back and she is open to coming back but only on recurring.

There is almost no need for Stephanie whatsoever in paticular when they suddenly change Steph into a moron, whore so they can get rid of her or change the direction of the character.

Give the vets good storylines;

hold on to JM, TP, JS and LH - Days needs the DiMeras!!;

less focus on the vegas characters -- limit them to 2 or 3 days a week (instead of 9 days straight);

Put EJ and Samantha together - aka EJami - their chemistry is too intense to ignore so why not take advantage of it.

Bring Back Romance!! I'm over the bunny-sex! Real romance has been missing for way too long!!

I think some of these wishes lie more on Hogan Sheffer as head writer rather than a co-executive producer. Like someone stated above, Wyman was more in control of the day to day duties. That is why we see the SFX because he's more in charge of producing each daily episode. I bet that is where Ed Scott will fall into position. Hopefully, he can make the show look a lot better on a day to day basis. And I would love it if he were able to bring some old Y&R directors to the show. You don't know how happy I would be in that first episode where I see the show start on a flower pot in the DiMera mansion and then pan to Stefano sitting by the fireplace, reading a book. EEEE! :D

That's not Ed Scott's job. That would be the job of Hogan Sheffer, the head writer.

People get confused between the jobs of an executive producer and a head writer. Yes, all of the head writer's writing has to go through the executive producer, but the executive producer is there to produce the show in general. He should not be handing out any creative ideas unless it has something to do with how he is going to have to produce the show, like bugets, exits, returns, etc.

Many times, when we read spoilers a few weeks in advance they sound amazing..But something gets lost when its put on screen, and it comes off mediocre....I would hope that Ed Scott could fix that and take whats written in the scrip and really bring it to life...Also canning the SFX is a good start, and hopefully making the action scenes (car accidents, sword fights, explosions, ect) look more realistic...

The show is balanced now, vets are front and center now. I agree on recast Jeremy. Defininitely a big no to the horrible acting of Shayna Rose. I like Shelley Hennig as Steph. She's an improvement IMHO. How about making DAYS last much longer than the socalled "DAYS last two years"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree 100% that DAYS needs the DiMeras. I agree about less focus on the younger characters & Vegas. I definitely DO NOT want EJ and Sami together. Would make me spew !!

I'm not sure I'd get rid of EJ, and IMHO, James Scott(EJ) is definiely not dead weight. He's very imporant in the DiMera storyline and Scott's a good actor too. I just don't want him paired with Sami, maybe pair him with Kate or Billie. I also think Jeremy Horton is not dead weight, however I agree that Trevor Donavan probably should be replaced. I also agree that Leann Hunley should be on contract and per Jason47, she is.

    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why. 
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
    • Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis. 
    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
    •   1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.
    • Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
    • Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.
