Sounds exciting. :)

Interesting that Silverman was there on set for the announcement. Not sure if that is typical. Maybe it gives some credence to the idea that NBC does want to give Days some shot of surviving . . .

Small thing but glad to hear about the camera angling. LOL That drove me crazy sometimes.

Another small thing. I find it so sweet that Stephen rarely has a blog entry that doesn't say something sweet about Mary Beth :D Love this line.

"Mary Beth looks at you and breaks into the biggest sweetest smile, you smile, she begins to laugh. There is nothing like good honest laughter shared with someone you love. Mary Beth looks at you and says, “Well this is different.” "

Yeah, that mention of Silverman got my attention. Hopefully he's got the balls to stand up to Zucker...

The bit about Ed tweaking scripts suggests he'll be playing a creative as well as a technical role. Good news, IMO.

Wow, I loved Ed Scott's shoes as much as Stephen Nichols seemed to, lol. The only thing I want now is an estimate on when his material will start airing. If he is already there, then probably sometime in September, right?

Eh, as long Zucker is there, Days is screwed. Silverman can say he's supportive of the show, but we all know that's just talk. NBC has done nothing but hinder this show for the past year and even beyond that.

Silverman will never stand up to Zucker, since Zucker was the one who hired him and he essentially answers to Zucker.

It's good to see, after so many years, that people at days are once again taking that show seriously. I would also venture to guess that ES is by no means a pushover, and that Sony may have given him free reign over the show and told Corday to get somewhere, sit down and STFU.

It will be real interesting to see what ES has in store for this show coming this Fall.

This makes me feel a whole lot better. The cast and crew sound so happy and seeing even NBC supportive shows that Days isn't dead yet (although I don't totally buy their support but maybe they will surprise me). That on top of Sony's support shows that Days had loads of life in it. I am also happy to see them all together as a unit....Hogan, Ed, and Corday. It sounds like Ed is getting the power he needs and the pics suggest that as well. It also says that Hogan is safe as well, even though I figured he was.

I didn't get the orange shoe thing until I saw the pics. This whole post was cute. I love SN. He hasn't blogged in awhile so I missed it. Good to hear all this. I was worried the cast was upset about Wyman because he had been there for so long but it seems the actors are happy with the changes. I think we should be seeing the changes in September it seems.

Well after being really annoyed by what I thought was a pretty sub-par episode today, I'm glad I clicked in this thread to read Stephen's blog because he gave me some reason to be optimistic about what Ed Scott will bring to Days, whether it lasts beyond 2009 or not.

    • I totally agree with this, as most of you seem to. Mary Carney was at least competent and reasonably likable; I just feel like she barely had anything of substance to do before she was abruptly given the hook. And I get the backstory of Kathleen Tolan having done a play with Helen Gallagher, but...at any point did they ever actually READ her before they greenlit her? Because...OOF. First time I saw her on SoapNet was right when this GODAWFUL actress named Charity Rahmer played Belle on Days of Our Lives for all of three weeks before she was mercifully recast; her line readings were straight out of a Charlie Brown special. I remember thinking Kathleen Tolan could have played her mother! In the Frank/Jill/Delia triangle, Delia WAS the one who was cheated on, so I got why she was upset and thought it was perfectly valid in theory at least, but of course it was blown up to Wagnerian proportions including falls involving staircases and tricycles. But with Pat/Faith/Delia I had no sympathy for her...especially because it was mainly with Catherine Hicks's Faith and I really liked her.
    • I was going through those episodes from 1984 and early 1985 before they were taken down. Some of the older characters, like Don and even Tom, looked a little out of place, like they were on the wrong show. But the newer characters were fun. It's too bad they lost the character of Melissa. I guess Jennifer took her long-term place on the canvas.

    • The black and white episodes of the show are very special. An atmosphere the color run loses. Dark Shadows was filmed live-on-tape. They could do a retake but it would be very expensive. I think there was a claim that if actors wanted a retake they would curse. There was also a rumor that at one point Joan Bennett accidentally said "Hollywood" instead of "Collinwood" and that necessitated a retake.

    • Loved this IG post from Ambyr about how she and Trisha work together. You can tell these ladies go above and beyond the script, and that they really trust and enjoy working together. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJpJufFPOQ2/?igsh=MXBmcWs0YzIwaXVhNA==

    • It is a shame that more characters didn't go the ATWT-Barbara route and make the ingénue into an antagonist. Sort of like they did with Liza/Hogan/Sunny, less successfully. It is a credit to ATWT's creativity that breathed life in that character for years after she was fighting off bulls in Spain.  But, a character like Liza can only have so many true loves and high jinks on the high seas.  They need another reason to be in the story. Liza's wealth, as well as her acumen to see through fraud, was fertile ground for tons of stories.  But, I feel like the business stories for Liza were always about her being easily overwhelmed, rather than exploring things like her leadership and managerial skills.
    • STFU!! Dante!!! This nonsense of blaming Gio is just ridiculous! Alexis and Lucky are becoming so unlikable. Why are the writers writing these characters so poorly?
    • Keith still comes off younger to me. I thought he wasn't that bad for his first day.
    • To be fair, they were only recently step-siblings.  Their parents married within the past few years.  And, Draper's father Ansel was not coy about the fact that he married Raven's mother, Nadine, for the money. And, Raven's sort of sticking it to April that not only can she have a baby (April has a heart condition that makes it difficult for her to carry a child to term), she could also have April's man, if she wanted him.
