Why do I see KC and DH playing instruments on the deck of the ship as it sinks?

I don't know...... :blink:

But.....it's what he deserves. If it did go down, I would truly hate that his horrible buisness sense got hundreds of people fired, but it would prove that he needs to go back to making that horrible synthesized music and leave the daytime business alone.

And take that hack bitch with him.

I wish Stefano could kidnap her and implant memories into her making heer think she was a good writer....

And make her think she was Roman Brady.......and Forrest Alamain......and Romulus.......and Father John........and MLK......and Malcom X........and Hillary......and Barack Obama.....and so on, and so on, and so on......

Exactly, Kenny! March is next month, and all hell breaks loose at the worst time. He has this mess to deal with along with negotiating with NBC. I bet he's getting no sleep right now. And where the hell are his advisors? Does he even have one intelligent person on his team to say, "Ken, don't fire these writers now. At least wait until the strike is over before making this decision." Or, "Ken, do not hire a scab writer as your Head Writer. [Allegedly] That is a huge mistake." Did anyone tell him that????

1. What use is it to have advisors if you're not going to listen to them?

2. What has he done that proves he knows what he's doing?

There is no way i would advise him to do a single thing. I'm going to need that breath on my deathbed to ask God for forgiveness.

Ken Corday has buried this show, and he needs to heep the lion's share of the blame for it.

This is what happens when you inherit a show rather than earn a show.

Just because his parents had the level-headed business sense to create a success, it doesn't mean Corday was groomed properly to follow in their footsteps. Hell, my father was an auto parts factory worker for years. That doesn't mean this fag could just jump in there and take his place when he croaks -- at least not successfully.

Everyone except Ed Scott and Hogan are probably Corday's lackeys. Thats probably what Steve Wyman was too(but he got fired, probably by Sony rather than Corday), and Dena Higley is no doubt a Corday lackey too. I think almost everyone on Days besides the people mentioned are people who say "GREAT idea, Ken!" to whatever Corday thinks Days should do.

Well, this is what the Variety article says regarding the force majeure:

Industry sources also report that the WGA contract reached with the majors is expected to include a provision that will allow scribes who were force majeured from ongoing series to return to their old jobs. Insiders cautioned, however, that some issues regarding that deal point are still being worked out by guild and studio lawyers. The contract does not address those who were force majeured from overall deals and other contracts if they were not working on a series that will resume production.

If that provision is true that means Sheffer and co. are still DAYS writers and they should now work along with *the writer* who of course could be ousted as a scab any day. And I think the only way Corday can get rid of Sheffer again is buy out the rest of his contract which is reportedly on of the best. Not good at all. I hope Corday sucks it up and lets Sheffer back because otherwise he could be very well making a business suiccide.

    • What are the additional surprises that Leslie has up her sleeve?
    • And that's the power of William J. Bell and his co-executive producers. Truth be told, I know people have heralded the return of Edward J. Scott last year (and yes, his return helped tighten up the visual look of production under the present regime as senior producer); however, I always felt like David Shaughnessy's vision (especially as a director) was stronger for Y&R. His Y&R had a darker, richer look that I feel like Scott never had, especially in the high-definition era.
    • That would be key; I know they have a "Tribeca" set that's active at the moment, so they could easily use the exterior of that set and then create "indoor" sets on the next set budget. I think that'd be a key idea. I love the community lots we presently have, although there is always room for more.

      Like, you cannot tell me that cannot be some kind of shopfront. Or even a salon front Serenity Beauty & Hair?
    • They really did; I know the transition wasn't as beautiful as many thought it should have been, but at least with Mulcahey at the helm, I felt like there was going to be resolve at some point... even if we didn't know what it was at the time. Seeing everyone turn against Sonny, except for Ava (with her mysteriously nefarious reasons), was beautiful to see. Plus, Mulcahey swiftly fixed Alexis' law license issue that had dragged on far too long. Again, was it perfect? No. But did I get a sense that Mulcahey, if given a true chance, could have done some effective changes? Yes. Very glad to know I am not alone in this, and yes, Harper's chemistry with Sawandi Wilson's Isaiah has been lovely. But it seems like every time there is a viable match, TPTB nix it before it can truly begin.
    • Reading all the theories here and on twitter.  Someone wondered if June is connected to Leslie? So now we have June possibly connected to Hayley, to Samantha&Tyrell, or to Leslie. I love that we don't know! To be honest, the first time she aired, I didn't think June was connected to any major character.  I thought she was simply a client who might prove to have an interesting backstory as part of the "have-nots".   But then June dropped the photograph, so that has to be an anvil or mean something.
    • Thanks for the factoid, that's so interesting! (The character, though, was not, LOL. Ridiculous storyline). You know what? Even though he was a core family member, I think you are right. I would much rather they had kept Alan Michael on the canvas to represent the second Spaulding generation. (Of course, they would have had to write some good stories for the character, which, who knows if they would/could have). Reva, yes, I agree. Her shelf life expired when she drove that car off the bridge. The ever increasing desperation to keep her character relevant after she came back was very difficult to watch.
    • I don't suppose you have that August 4, 1995 episode @soapfan770 has with Hope throwing Nikki out of The Newman Ranch?
    • I have taken extremely long breaks from the show because of Sonny and I didn’t watch in the 90’s so I didn’t realize this was a crutch the show used all the time. Hell even though Maurice hates it, it was the most I could tolerate Sonny because he was written as the ass.hole he actually is at his core. His meds working again don’t erase all the characters I’ve either liked or accepted that I had to watch he and Jason murder and somehow come out as the good guys.
    • When I saw the pic of two kids on a stoop, I immediately though it was Samantha and Tyrell but that could be a red herring. The picture is quite old so maybe it is Hayley and June. This would help to bring Naomi back into Hayley and Bill's orbit. If June is Tyrell and Samantha's mother, that story would seem to be a dead end - unless Martin and Smitty adopted them through improper means. I did wonder if Anastasia is who Shanice has been chatting with during her shift. Her line to Ted about making her mouth even bigger? I was scandalized. Anastasia has to return soon.
    • I would DIE if Shanice’s mom lived beyond the gates and was just as messy I loved her so much. Give. Me. More. Absolutely loved this scene. Looking forward to more bonding between them. She is such a find. If her agents are smart, they’re booking her on bigger things as soon as possible. I want to see her blow up. She is THAT good to me. Ambyr and Trisha are the stars of this show for me and why I watch. Bingo. This show actually feeling like a soap that moves has made it so hard for me to watch the others anymore. I love you Thank god you said this. I wish we’d stop taking the bait but this needed to be said. White male leads cheat ALLLLLLLL the time. But this poster seems to think omg two black men that cheated decades apart are about to set us back somehow. I’m about to add them to the ignore list with Donna, I’m sick of the baiting. This was perfectly stated. Preach my friend, preach. As for yesterday’s episode I loved it. The show is handling the fall out from the Eva reveal so damn well for me. And I LOVED that Ted final scene holding Eva’s hand. I guess I’m in the minority since the recast announcement was made but I will miss Maurice and his chemistry with all of his costars as Ted and really wish he could’ve played the entire fall out of the story.
