DAYS: Edward James Scott is starting on August 29 2007

I'm so happy i can't wait to see what he will do to Days for clumbing the rating in hope so

[aMLCproduction]

so does this mean his work airs on the 29?

[Toups]

Are you sure his first credited episode is the 29th?

[Shawn]

My thoughts exactly.

[Soapfan1]

Yeah

I have heard all over it's August 29. I guess it fits with Days current way of taping.

Whatever the case, it is obvious Ed's influence is already being felt by yesterday's episode which showcased a different feel, better execution (very character-driven), no SFX, different music at times, different camera angles, and the all important focus on flowers, which was a Y&R staple under Ed.

[Shawn]

Very true. Every episode started with the zoom out from the flower vase.

[JenC]

I hope to God that with Wyman gone, and Scott in, the SFX are gone FOREVER.

[IMissAremid]

This was stated at a DOOL fan event today.

[JenC]

Can't wait to see his work officially start airing!

[Toups]

Who's fan event was it?

[IMissAremid]

James Scott apparently told people this at the event in Burlington, Mass. that also had Stephen Nichols, Steve Blackwood, Marcus Patrick and Judi Evans (perhaps others were there, not sure)

[Toups]

Thanks.

Was there anything more about Ed?

[DrewH]

I don't know if we can say that Ed Scott's influence is there yet. If Scott's not scheduled to be there until August 29, then he's not going to be working there until then. I think the chagnes we've seen so far come from the fact that Stephen Wyman is currently gone. That doesn't mean Ed Scott had to come in and immediately replace him. Corday is probably in total charge right now, and that's why we are seeing the changes. Wyman is the one that loved the SFX and since he was the one in charge of the day to day production, and now Corday has control, that is probably why we have seen changes.

[PhoenixRising05]

Well, we had different camera angles and an emphasis on flowers yesterday. If that isn't an influence of Ed's, I don't know what is .
