Members Sweet_VeeVee24 Posted January 25, 2008 Members Share Posted January 25, 2008 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...

Members Ryan Posted January 25, 2008 Members Share Posted January 25, 2008 .....and people STILL wonder why DAYS has been accused of mismanaging it's finances. If you are going to freakin FIRE people, you don't do it AFTER they've signed a new contract. How freakin stupid is that?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted January 25, 2008 Members Share Posted January 25, 2008 Judi has a really huge fanbase, as well as Julie. Julie rose to high popularity during her time on Port Charles.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daysfan Posted January 25, 2008 Members Share Posted January 25, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted January 25, 2008 Administrator Share Posted January 25, 2008 Exactly. Ken Corday doesn't know how to manage ANYTHING!! This is what happens when you inherit the show instead of earning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted January 25, 2008 Members Share Posted January 25, 2008 Wow...well that's it for DAYS as far as I'm concerned. Koslow as my favorite...she's gone...so am I. B&B or Y&R should snap her up! Strike while the iron is hot folks, Koslow is fantastic! Bill Bell knew it, he hired her twice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted January 25, 2008 Members Share Posted January 25, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rob_NMGN Posted January 25, 2008 Members Share Posted January 25, 2008 Bad news. I like Kate and still see so many opportunities for her character. I hope they change their minds, but I guess it is whisfull thinking!! Hopefully they can make her exit really big! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapfan1 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 25, 2008 Is this True that She's fired or what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 25, 2008 Members Share Posted January 25, 2008 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.

Members juppiter Posted January 25, 2008 Members Share Posted January 25, 2008 But Brad Bell inherited B&B and has pretty much stuck to Bill Bell's vision for it. I opine that Ken Corday is just an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChiTownBoi03 Posted January 25, 2008 Members Share Posted January 25, 2008 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. > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted January 25, 2008 Members Share Posted January 25, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitchapalooza Posted January 25, 2008 Members Share Posted January 25, 2008 This sucks...but I will NOT quit watching DAYS because of this. The show is VERY GOOD at the moment and I am trying to not let the off-screen drama affect how I view the show's actual on-screen drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted January 25, 2008 Members Share Posted January 25, 2008 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.
