Why? I mean, I think he really is a great guy, but his judgement was sort of... Faulty. I'm sorry that he won't write for daytime anymore, but who knows? People should write about their experience, but the way they do it matters a lot.

Isn't she a part of that same daytime problem?

Oh, I wasn't talking about Casiello. I was taking back the part about Dena not following in his footsteps.

TC's got nothin' to do with this. I just enjoy watching Dena given enough rope... and hanging herself. It's bound to happen sooner or later.

LOL you are too funny.

But this is such a cheap shot to get buzz thinking they could make her look better by having her tell us about her personal life. She sounds like she has a busy family life and cares about them. But it isn't going to change my opinion of her storylines on the show. There are people that you can get along with, but they might not be the greatest at their jobs.

I think this is clearly a PR move from Corday & company, but they underestimate the intelligence of viewers. I can admire Dena Higley for her commitment to her family and think she's a good mom and still hate her as a HW for DAYS. One has nothing to do with the other. You can be the most wonderful person in the world and still suck at your job.

Rakesh,

Do NOT tell me that you're "Blue Boy"?

As for DENA--she's doing fine.

The ratings are up and fans are sending

mad THANK YOU mail to NBC.

Just wait until Stefano wakes up and kicks the SH*T out of the Vitali family.

Talk about a Year-long build up to a MAJOR climax.

GOD is it going to be awesome!

The Vitali's think they're ALL THAT. Tony and EJ are turning into softies.

But...just...you...wait.

STEFANO. THE AWAKENING. :P

I think she sounds like a good mother and a really good person. I think online soap blogs are stupid. She probably thinks that people who are so caught up in soaps that they post on web sites are a bit over the edge.

You know folks, very very very few people pay as much attention to insider soap gossip as the folks on this board. If you mentioned Dena's name to people who watch DOOL every day, I think probably about 2.6 million of them would not recognize it. I don't think they have this hate for an individual because they don't like what that person did three years ago to DOOL or what they did to OLTL.

It would not even last ten minutes due to all the negative comments that she would get sent her way! :lol:

Although I would like to see a blog of hers where she discusses what was going on in her mind when she dreamt up the unabortion story...as well as to tell us her experience of smoking drugs during that creative nonsense ;)

I see someone else is still unemployed. Honey, I think your best shot for a job would be to marry Dena yourself in some sort of same sex union. She seems to reward familial ties with job opportunities and of course, Writer's Guild fraud.

As for the blog itself, wow what a bad, bad idea for DOOL. She is one of the single most hated HWs in daytime, and this will change nothing and may in fact exacerbate things. I remember when someone at least posing as one of her daughters used to run around Youtube trolling and yelling at anybody who hated her mother's work. That only made things worse for Higs.

    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
    • Its realistic for Dani and  true of how the character thinks and operates. We've known her long enough to by that this would be consistent with her past characterizatioin
    • Random takes: - What was even the point of that jeweler guy? Also—Dani was borderline harassing him. - I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I want Jacob and Kat to happen. I need something messy to completely dismantle the Duprees—and Katomas just isn’t cutting it.  - I officially can’t stand Jacob and his wife. Same goes for Anita and Vernon. - Hayley’s corset was just as ugly as it looked uncomfortable. - I genuinely don’t remember when or how Derek and Ashley reconciled—and I’m someone who didn’t even mind their storyline! LMAO. - Tuesday’s episode was a mess. - Dani finding out about Hayley’s pregnancy and immediately thinking, “She’s faking it”—huh?! What writer thought that was a realistic reaction? I get denial, but that leap was absurd. I agree the ‘Leslie Victorious’ moment was way OTT. But hey, at least I wasn’t yawning. The following episode, where she handed over her daughter’s last few belongings was much better. - I can’t with the constant back-and-forth between Orphey Gene’s and the Country Club. I forgot this was such a soap trope, but even back in my loyal viewer days (late ‘90s, early 2000s), it wasn’t this bad. While GH has a ton of beautiful sets, we’re stuck with the same three—and half of them are ugly. Also: it’s been way too long since we had a party, gala, or any kind of event. I know the Richardsons’ anniversary gala (back in late April) has had a big ripple effect, but I was kinda getting used to those large-scale episodes. Fingers crossed they don’t go with Guza.
