YES!!!!!

But please, no Jack Smith or Josh Griffith. DAYS fans would hate Smith's slow pace and if they reviled Hogan, they'll hate Smith even more. Griffith, just no, he's all wrong.

I don't see Smith leaving B&B, especially after his BFF Kay Alden is now HW.

I say hire a writer who is an actual fan of DAYS or someone who hasn't written for soaps before, but is a fan of DAYS.

Wow, what a huge surprise. I don't want the DOOL fans to get Griffith as a writer, but anything that could get him out of Y&R would be great.

DOOL now needs to find a good writer to help if it's still possible.

Yeah, I doubt Smith or Girffith are under consideration. First off, Sony let Latham fire Smith from Y&R, and I'm sure he (like most of the old Bell writers) does not want to work there again. Plus, Smith isn't going to leave his BFFs Alden and Bell at B&B.

Griffith? That man is tainted in my eyes and I do not want him in another position that isn't as a scriptwriter.

Well the ratings are in the tiolet for DAYS right now and it needs a boost. I think Josh Griffith would be a good choice because he is a better head writer then an executive producer. This makes it all easy because Sony likes Griffith, it is Bloom who he spars with. Higley IMO is a terrible hack and she has not brought any better ratings. Something scares me in that Esensten and Brown are available and they worked for DAYS as script writers that they could go to DAYS. I knew Corday loved Higley but she was not bringing in the numbers they needed. I just hope she does not get anywhere near Llanview again. Her three years at OLTL were toxic to the core. You could tell in her blogs that Dena was not happy at the show.

1. I find it odd that NB seems to be happy about it since he has praised almost everything she has done at days but..

2. i understand because im the same way. i loved what dena had goin on at days. she mixed it up and tied things out. it was awesome. but at the samer time i doubt she could had kept me happy for long and i do know most fans were not so happy.

now... i wonder whoa gonna take over? maybe her new co-HW? i do see JG & JS were listed, id be down for either to be honest. i just dont want podpeople like when HS was running things. and besides, we all know no matter who they get they will be working for Ken Corday... so there is no real hope.

“If you read her NBC blogs, the writing has been on the wall for a while; she’s been unhappy with the media criticism of her work,” says one insider.

Wow, such incredibly thin skin, lol. Perhaps, Ms. Higley should take a few lessons from Megan McTavish? Fans and critics have been lambasting her work for years, and she doesn't seem to mind. ;)

As usual, I'm taking this news with the proverbial grain o' salt. This could turn out to be completely bogus. (No offense, Errol, Ryan or Toups!) Worse, KC might convince her to stay, or Ed Scott might be convinced to leave. If she is gone, then I'm forever in Ed Scott's debt. But I'm not raising my hopes one bit, lol.

    • Pleeeease I hope the writers have thought of this.
    • I want to see her doing brunch at the country club, flirting with the personal trainers and taking FULL advantage of all the perks while it lasts
    • It's on Prime too and Pluto TV. It's also available digitally.   The Blu-ray release has the movies that haven't been seen in HD, and they've corrected the premiere two-hour movie as it originally aired. The DVD and digital release use the syndicated split two episodes.   My maternal grandmother was a big fan of the show. I had no idea until later in its run.
    • Omg I didn’t even think about that she’d be beyond the gates doing his therapy! How exciting!
    • I assumed that Reva viewed Cain as someone she owed her life to since he was the one that helped save her during her attempted suicide.. so she felt responsible when he became ill. I imagine that Long would have used Cain as an obstacle/distraction for Reva as Kyle was working through his marriage to Maeve.  What interested me was that Fletcher/Maeve were tested earlier then I thought with his constant visiting Maeve in the hospital in December 1985... so possibly Long had it planned out that Fletcher would have been the right man for Maeve while Reva was the right woman for Kyle. Both Kyle and Maeve came from money... so I could see Long planning to ultimately pair them with opposites in a socioeconomical sense of the word had she stayed on. I certainly know had she been headwriting the show when Newman came back as Josh.. she wouldn't have quickly reunited Josh/Reva.
    • I could see where Kyle was intriguing for a hot minute, given that he was a millionaire with a secret grudge against the Lewises. But the entire premise for his grudge is stupid, and Reva's insta attraction to him doesn't fly.  I do think Reva needed to be separated from the Lewises, but she always comes off as a little lost without them, imo. I'm surprised they tied Kyle to them so rapidly. They could've drawn that story out for the entire two years Larkin was there.
    • If all true and this is the right leading lady, it may make sense why Kim didn't mention her by name, since Courtney passed away in Dec 2010, just under a year before the book came out in 2011. That would be the respectful thing to do, and it's not like Kim was shy about name dropping others in the book. All speculation though haha.
    • MSW streams on Peacock (for members), Tubi (for free), is on DVD, and is rerun on cable.... and I know a lot of young millennials/older Gen Z's that have recently been exposed to Murder She Wrote... and they love it. It's timeless.
    • Another example of the dysfunctional enmeshment that the Duprees labor under.   Dani freaking out about her father coming to visit as she's in bed with her boy toy totally screamed teenager instead of a grown ass woman that has two adult children.  The whole family needs to be in therapy including Nicole (who probably became a therapist because of the dysfunction within the family). @ranger1rgConsidering the fact that Chelsea has been controlled by a domineering Dani... I would be more surprised if Chelsea wasn't being extra and/or pushy.  She's spent more time being a model, having every move controlled by Dani, and being on social media as opposed to developing interpersonal relationships with her peers.
    • I agree. Every time she's on, it reads as "We're writing her in to fulfill her guarantee."
