Corday didn't say that was the end all to be all big story, just that Sami and EJ would be getting a big story and would be featured more, which was only a matter of time. Where else was Nicole supposed to fit in?

The whole interview isn't even making the rounds yet anyway. We all know Corday is full of it so what else is new.

Just going to sit back and enjoy the show...don't even care who comes, goes, or writes anymore....

I am with you Phoenix. I am just going to sit back and watch. I have watched this show for a very long long LONG time to long to give it now, and i am going to support the show as much as I can. I have survived many bad writers, Anne Howard Bailey, JER, Tom Langan, Hogan Sheffer(I am sorry to all his lovers but i never hit my ff button so much even during JER), and yes Dena Higley who I am willing to give another chance mostly because of her 20+ year history with the show. If these are the last months or years of Days I want to watch and be able to say when it is all over that I was a fan threw the good times and bad and threw it all loved the show as much as i did when i first started watching way back when, which is true.

I am not like some of the other people on the other boards like this one who say they support the genre and want it to survive but stop watching the show because they are spiteful to certain people in front of the camera and behind, i am sorry to say this but if you love the genre as much as you all say you do you will not give up a show because you feel a certain way about someone who works on it. And like many people have been saying these days 1 more cancellation could spell the end for all soaps especially the cancellation of a 42 year old soap. So if you ever loved Days keep watching because it might just help save this show!

I guess we will :lol:

Another reason I have high hopes that she won't bomb as bad as she has in the past can be summed up in two words: Ed. Scott.

I have a feeling he will fight hard to keep Corday OUT of her work.

When you look back, Corday and Wyman were up Dena's ass every five minutes and had high influence on the stories we saw unfold.

Quite the opposite at OLTL, where the EP doesn't have anything to do with storytelling and basically let her sink the show while his back was turned.

I feel Ed will be the happy median.

The female point of view?!?!

I know someone else said this before (yes, Sylph, I'm plagiarizing again :P ), but Margaret raped Todd, Nora married a serial killing gay guy, and Jessica was molested AND shot up heroin.

WHAT WOMEN WANT?!

Good post, Cody. Now let me add my two cents... lol

The only way I'll stop watching Days is if NBC is nuts enough to put Reilly behind the wheel for a third time. Granted, I don't think they're dumb enough to do that given how the last run he had turned out.

I am not crazy how Dena took over as HW; being a writer myself (and not just the SON blog, I am a writer off this board as well) I do not like the way things got circumvented so that she could write this show. Going Fi-Core is one thing, out and out breaking the ranks and coming back to write without making Guild arrangements is another.

Having said that, so far she is doing a decent job. I'm concerned for the show's long-term future, mainly because people like Ken Corday can't keep his hand out of the cookie jar. My main worry is he'll drive Ed Scott away with his mismanagement and his desire to meddle in pretty much everything.

    • Uh, yeah, huh?!!! Seriously, that was a brilliant line but its acumen is strictly from how hilarious. We imagine Joss in Carly's kitchen breaking the news that she's realized she's gay & Carly is unconcerned & then drops that it's Emma she's in love with ... time comes to a screeching halt!!! I think Moss would likely be thrown hard against the wall. Can you imagine Carly & Robin as mothers of the brides together? 
    • @DRW50 Thanks for these. I had a procedure on my eyes and was just okayed for limited screen time the other day, but it is in short periods until Tuesday, when the doctor clears me.  I'll be adding in bits here and there, but Hoppers will be "hopping" after that. Upcoming: Rest in Peace, Denise Alexander, Ruth Buzzi and Priscilla Pointer Updating:   Max Gail, @Xanthe -- Will Lyman, who was lost in the shuffle a year ago, but his update from last year will be typed up;  New: Michelle Hurd and Shanola Hampton and others I'll b updating the edit-able profiles, too.

      The shoulders and sleeves are too tight. He'd benefit from a larger size. The yellow arrows show where the shoulder cut should actually be placed in my opinion. I don't mind the granpa fashion per se, I just have an OCD with sizes LOL
    • Today May 11, 2025, Pope Leo briefly addressed the crowd in the square.  He sang the prayer to Mary and then said:   Dear brothers and sisters, The immense tragedy of the Second World War ended eighty years ago, on 8 May, after having claimed sixty million victims. In today’s dramatic scenario of a piecemeal third world war, as Pope Francis stated many times, I too address the world’s leaders, repeating the ever-timely appeal: “Never again war!”. I carry in my heart the sufferings of the beloved Ukrainian people. May everything possible be done to reach an authentic, just and lasting peace, as soon as possible. Let all the prisoners be freed and the children return to their own families. I am deeply saddened by what is happening in the Gaza Strip: may there be an immediate ceasefire! Let humanitarian aid be provided to the stricken civil population, and let all the hostages be freed. On the other hand, I have welcomed with satisfaction the announcement of the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, and I hope that through the upcoming negotiations, a lasting accord may be reached soon. https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/angelus/2025/documents/20250511-regina-caeli.html
    • Lol! I'm quite sure it would. 
    • But that is pretty much situation normal for all soaps. They do not tend to continue to show things like surgical scars. They also play fast & loose with hospital procedures.
    • re: prior two posts about Trump's new opulent plane contrasted with utter starvation in Gaza... Trump and Netanyahu are giving "Let them eat cake".  And it's horrific. In 2013, Pope Francis removed a bishop from running the Limburg Germany diocese because he was constructing an opulent 31-million-euro building. This is from Reuters obit of Francis: https://www.reuters.com/world/obituary-pope-francis-shook-up-church-with-simplicity-raising-conservative-ire-2025-04-21/ From the start, Francis sent clear signals to priests and bishops about the type of Church he wanted. He said there was no room for "careerists or social climbers" among the clergy, told cardinals they should not live "like princes," and said the Church should not "dissect theology" in lush salons while there were poor people around the corner. "If investments in banks fall, it is a tragedy and people say 'what are we going to do?' but if people die of hunger, have nothing to eat or suffer from poor health, that's nothing. This is our crisis today. A Church that is poor and for the poor has to fight this mentality," he said early in his papacy. -- Pope Francis stood up for the poor, the unhoused, the migrants of all faiths.  He lived simply and ordered that when he died, that he wished to be interred in a simple wooden coffin. I sincerely hope that the new pope Leo will follow Francis' example.
