Sorry, my sympathy only goes so far. City Hall is slowly becoming involved in your business, but it was ok when they were in Hogan's. You knew what you were getting into when Corday brought you back. You wanna work at a place where your ideas aren't axed? Either become a better writer or go to a place like well....ATWT and GL where they're perfectly content with putting crap on the screen.

As far as her personal life goes, I have nothing but respect for her. Raising a child with autism isn't an easy job, and I commend her. I'm glad her children are doing well.

You can't be a "kind and loving" person in one area of your life while being a self-serving, backstabbing, ruthlessly self-promoting, disloyal, cold-hearted, diabolical snake-in-the-grass scab in another. The fact that this woman who, rumor has it, made it a condition of her return to DAYS the wholesale firing of the existing writing team can actually blog about how "crappy" her work week was blows my mind. For her children's sake, I can only hope she's as good a mother as she portrays herself. But I have to wonder when they're old enough to ask her what a 'scab' is what her answer will be.

I really do find her blog humanizing.

I was never deeply involved in her Days or her OLTL, so I can't speak from a sense of personal victimization.

I find it courageous that she already speaks against "City Hall" (is that Corday? Sony? or NBC?). It means she will not last long, and I really get the feeling she would be okay with that.

Well I suppose all this comes with the territory of being a headwriter. Taking the flack from 'City Hall', getting story ideas axed when the HW thought they were good ones. NEWSFLASH Not everyone is going to think like you, Dena.

Perhaps if it's getting too rough for you at DOOL, you could always QUIT.

I have found a friend. I am with you Jack Peyton. I think she is doing a wonderful job. Maybe Dena thought she could be daytime's vesrion of Barack Obama and change things. Dena is miles above Hogan on his best day. I feel really bad that her creativity is being blocked and this is the problem with daytime today. Let the writer write for once!.

    • I wonder if less set use was preparing for the move. They probably were preparing for this for awhile now 
    • The early part of the season is decent. After that, Season 9 is probably one of the worst seasons until season 13. Season 10 is a little worse.    That would have made sense, even if it cost us one of my favorite scenes (Ben putting Lilliemae in a headlock). That's an excellent storyline and leads to the show's last strong season finale. 
    • The TVC Studio 31 that they used for 38 years was only about 13,730 sq ft., according to the TVC website specs: https://televisioncityla.com/stages-offices/ Sunset Las Palmas Studios has 11 sound stages, which go up to 20,000 sq ft., though we're yet to learn which of those sound stages will house B&B. Depending on which one, the specs for it can be found here: https://www.sunsetstudios.com/los-angeles/las-palmas-studios/ Sound Stages 4, 5 and 9 are available for use starting September 1, 2025. It's unclear if either of those stages would be used by B&B since they begin production there starting Tuesday, August 19, 2025, which would be before the date shown on the website, but we shall see. Of those three sound stages, only Sound Stage 4 and 5 make sense since they are larger than the specs the show had at TVC, while 9 is quite smaller.  Sound Stage 4 would be the best option overall for B&B since it has 18,819 sq ft., the largest individual sound stage at the lot - Stage 3 and Stage 8 share space, which combined makes the space 19,900 sq ft. --- Forgot to add, unless there was an issue with storing the sets, the changes at TVC should have had no issue with production on the show, resulting in fewer set use as there has been no movement in terms of construction that would impact either show (B&B/Y&R). Of the 2-3 times I've been at the studio, the most recent for Don Diamont's 40 years at CBS, it was the most dead I had ever seen the space, but that could be due to vacations, holidays, or the preparation of the B&B move.
    • I didn't post about it in the BtG thread as I still don't watch the show (an hour runtime is just too much for me right now with a new soap I can't just mostly skip through) but I can't imagine the ego of someone who is hired as a breakdown writer and decides to [!@#$%^&*] their own name all over the show. Classless beyond belief. Any writer who cares more about masturbatory behavior than quality of work should not be hired.
    • Yeah, it would've made things more tightly woven.
    • I like Chelsea and Madison. Two very pretty black women as a potential couple. But I really wish this show would've showcased two very handsome black men as a couple instead.
    • I didn't even think of roasters from GH

      Maybe this roast will take even more than two years
    • Irna wasn't involved with ATWT at the time of Neil's death, was she? I'm imagining a situation where right after his latest doctor's appointment, he's killed.
    • The Cruise of Deception was the first thing that came to mind when I mentioned that Brady might take after that side of the family 
    • We all knew that TT is busy so if she's off screen for a bit except for phone calls and/or visits.. then it is what is. Ashley was nicely used as support... which the writers should have been doing since day 1 so that viewers could understand why exactly she's on the show LOL Chelsea/Madison.... seems too good to be true... we shall see. Shanice as a PT... if it means more airtime.. I'm good.
