Days: Another Major Contract Actress Let Go!


Recommended Posts

There could have been so much that could have been done for the role of Kate...but every time they had her on screen, she was bickering with Sami, meddling in her children's lives or blackmailing teenagers to doctor paternity tests....

There is only so long one can continue to box an actress into a corner....

It's unfortunate that all of these people that have been playing characters with great history are being let go for newcomers that we most likely won't get a back story about...

I am so pissed by this news. Days is firing their notable people left and right, and if it keeps up(which with Higley here I know it will) this show is gonna be unrecognizable, and then cancelled.

This is the end for Days. After all of this insane news the past few weeks, I just know it is.

It's because Days has no long-term plan and nobody knows what the hell they're doing (aside from ed Scott, who has no say when it comes to story). One minute, they're ready to write a character for three more years... the next minute, they change their minds. Back and forth, back and forth. Just look at how many times they got rid of Renee and brought her back, then got rid of her and brought her back again. If there was any long-term plan, that wouldn't happen. You would either stay or you would go. You certainly wouldn't be signed to a brand new contract and then get dropped the following week.

Idiots. I swear to God, they're all IDIOTS.

I have no words... I'm so pissed right now I can barely even see straight.

I don't understand any everyone says that Kate should've gone anyway, because she's "just a boring meddler." That's the thing... she doesn't have to be a boring meddler! Why would such an amazing, incredibly actress be fired because of the fault of the writer? It's not fair, it's not right, and she's far too talented to just go like this.

Kate Roberts was my favorite character from 1998 - 2003. She is what carried me through the wretched years of SSM, Langan, Higley, etc. I could watch her read a phone book and I would be thrilled. She's one of those actresses that just hits you over the head with her sex appeal, and anything she does is just fascinating. I love to watch her move, I love to hear her speak... she's just amazing.

Days will never, ever be the same without her. I hope Higley burns in hell.

Speaking of Higley, why the hell is Corday giving her all this control?! Look how she's proven herself in the past. She turned Days into a boring pile of dreck, then she went to OLTL and sent that show completely to hell. Now she's back at Days and Corday just allows her to dismantle every show staple they have?! Ugh!

All of the Kate/Roman fans at SoapCity were thrilled at the idea of Higley writing the show again, because they said that she wrote Kate/Roman wonderfully in 2003. I told 'em... don't assume she'll do the same again. The woman's a poison. Nobody believed me, and now look. Lauren's gone. [!@#$%^&*] Higley.

If by some mistake Higley isn't actually writing right now and it's just some random scab... then [!@#$%^&*] THEM, TOO!

Just come watch OLTL, kittens.

I feel for you, I do, but I tried sticking with Sheffer, and after the first six months it was clear everything was transitory and Corday was congenitally incapable of allowing anything to play out.

OMFG. I am not happy about this at all. Next to Deidre Hall, Lauren is my favorite on the show and has been since she started (yes even through all her character's missteps). In fact, she was one of the main reasons I watched, especially through those dreadful 02-03 years. She is such a wonderful actress and should have been given a decent story. What a *gigantic* waste of talent. I'm even surprised Lauren agreed to stay as long as she did with all the whale blubber they throw at her. But whatever she got, she acted the hell out of it. After all these casting changes, all these pointless characters get to stay??? Shelley Henig's acting makes me cringe...literally, Steve & Kayla are awesome but are painfully boring and swallow up unnecessary airtime, and Chloe needs to go back to wherever she came from because I for one am not feeling the "revamped" version of her. Even if I did warm to her, I wouldn't want to sacrifice *much better* actors/actresses and/or *much better* characters for her. I will continue to watch naturally, BUT I can safely say DAYS is done. Ridiculous and they deserve everything they get. >:(

I could be happy to see her come back to B&B, where she could assume the role she was always meant to have: Margo Lynley...the NEXT "Stephanie Forrester".

Young, dynamic, sensuous, I'd love to see her do battle with Eric's bimbos.

I never thought i'd say this but I'm pretty sure I'm done once Kate and Belle stop airing.

LK is my favorite actress on the show, and I'm just in shock all over again. At this point I don't care if the show continues on. No one I enjoy will be there anymore anyway.

    • I saw a conversation yesterday with Liam with the 7 dwarves hat and Steffy -  I know she did not say re: Hope and Liam said - well look at Finn and you forgave him right?      I know I did not hear Steffy say “well but you can’t compare that to…”  For *uck sake someone call the bitch out!?     You’re right, we shouldn’t compare your forgiveness for the dude with devil spawn seed whose daughter locked you in a cage along with crazy stepmom/mom/Grandmother who has also SHOT YOU BOTH - and multiple murder attempts but you have to exist with them / Hope’s part in a takeover which you know was FAR LESS THAN CARTER BECAUSE HOPE IS NOT AN ATTORNEY…. Goodness no, no the same thing at alllllllll.   When they do Steffy’s absence at least let it be because they all find out what a manipulative ho she is in her own right.      
    • I think a lot of us still agree with that. I do hope that the resurgence in the soap world with Beyond the Gates will push ABC to either bring back these shows or produce a newer one.
    • So, this was fun. Elsewhere, friendly to polls, a poll on what do you want to see at the Nurses Ball. The Gio reveal got 18%, for Blaze to return & sing also got 18%, for Jennifer Hudson to do a cameo & sing got 10% and for Lucy to lose various parts of clothing got 9% but the huge one was the reveal of Drew/Nina sex which got a whopping 45%!  
    •   I liked the effect of the curtains closing. Yeah it was like the end of Act I.   Or maybe they are simply trying to emphasize the drama of the end of an episode -- instead of a random abrupt end that has happened in some prior episodes.
    • I posted this in the behind the scenes thread but I know this thread is busier so wanted to mention it here as well. During their instagram live yesterday, Daphnee Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant mentioned that they will find out this month if the show is renewed for another season. Just a heads up so we can keep an eye out for an announcement and keep our fingers crossed for a multi-year renewal!
    • They haven't explained the ownership of the Bistro, but Doug told Holly the other day he didn't get the job there. Basically Roman just hired Doug on the spot and gave him a room.  It was really nice of Roman.  I don't know if he knows who Doug is or that he stole Julie's necklace.  That was unclear-at least to me.
    • I'm not sure how I felt about it, but I do kind of like that it felt like the show telling us this concludes the first chapter of the series. Could be interesting if they only do it for big aftermath episodes. The biggest mistake with Martin is that it's almost hard to buy his anger because we've gotten no strong scenes with him and his parents. They've all been with Anita/Vernon. I can't even remember him ever even saying one word to Nicole, even in passing.
    •   Thank you! Agreed on both posts. And the comments about Mike Manning are nonsense. 
    • I haven't watched yet, but did they explain the current ownership of The Bistro?  Because when RonC was writing, wasn't he applying for work with Sophia?
    • I think Brandon has gotten better in normal day to day scenes, but he’s very over the top when the character is meant to be angry or agitated. I did laugh when she started yelling at Leslie and then when he started to throw all those damn books, lol. He needs an acting coach to work out some of these kinks.
