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.

    • When I was a kid, I would watch DOOL with my mom. I remember Denise as Susan so well. And later, of course, on GH. How sad to hear she has passed. RIP.
    • I have to dig that scene up on YT. I'm glad they gave them some kind of happy ending, even if it was really late. Interesting! I remember Justin and Sarah being involved, but I either forgot or never caught their backstory. The girl with money and social position of course turns out to be Jackie. He sort of did to Sarah what Vanessa did to his brother! I do remember Justin started out as not the greatest guy. Kind of a horn dog. It's only when Ross comes on that he becomes the "good" brother. I only have some vague memories of Ben and Hope, mostly of when they were in a positive relationship. He certainly changed over time. "Chill" would be the way I would describe Ben (along with "handsome but kind of a yawn") for most of his time on GL, so hearing he once had a violent temper is very surprising.
    • Yes. That's called good writing.
    • interesting idea.  That makes sense, as MVJ seems to have set up each character development (traits) for future plot developments.
    • I really enjoyed today's episode. It showcased a lot of the other cast and I saw hints of storyline potential (Smitty & Bill). Martin definitely has some anger issues and I recall him being overly scared about protecting his family and having all the doors locked, coming out of one of his "dreams". There's obviously a lot going on there and I can't wait to find out more. I'm thinking June is going to be more than just the issue story of the week. I think she just might be related to one or more of our main characters. As for Tomas, yes, Alex Alegria is not the strongest actor, but he's pretty to look at and he emotes something. I'm just not sure what that something is yet.
    • No. Absolutely No. I don't know who this is... since it's just some random Twitter quote... But NO. The only parallel between OG Caroline's leukemia and Liam's tumor... is that they are both having cancer. That's it. Other than that... I see absolutely no similarities.  Caroline hid her sickness almost till the last moment. She was also giving the viewers signs that she is not well for days if not weeks before the diagnosis. It was not like Liam... falling down and hitting his head on a table and bam he has a tumor. Caroline's storyline broke our hearts, because of her attempt to live out the rest of her days with dignity and grace. It was written slowly and with care. What we are seeing right now with Liam is the complete opposite. It's begging the viewers for empathy and cheap tears. It's so in your face and trashy... I can't believe they are using cancer for something like this. Bradley Bell should never do terminal stuff again in his stories. It's borderline offensive to people who actually have lost relatives to cancer. To me it is.
    • I was thinking that June could be Kat's mother and Eva is Nicole and Ted's.
    • You won't even miss her because Nola will be dominating the show till Raven comes back. Literally... there will be no boring second. Nola is just starting. You won't believe what will follow. Haha. And then as soon as that storyline is finishing up, Raven is back in top form.
