“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.

hummm.... i wonder if there is more to the story?

Is it that easy for a headwriter to just bolt? Didn't she have a contract?

well, its not like days minds paying HW's for not working...

jerk

hogan

id assume meg kelly?

why not add dena to the list and then bring on a new person and pay them.

so what if its piss-poor managment. its not like thats stopped it.

Finally!

BUT WTF IS CORDAY DOING?!

If it was a mutual decision, yes. Days may have just let her quit if they were planning on firing her anyways.

i doubt it since from what it says kc wants her to say

Exactly, Toups!

She does, but --

1) Writers (and especially HW's) are probably on "options" like the actors.

2) There isn't anything that says DAYS/Sony couldn't buy Dena out of hers, or continue to pay her (until her next "option" lapses) and her replacement, even though, Dena technically isn't writing for the show anymore. (Just ask all the HW's since Nina Laemmle who are still on KC's payroll, lol.)

If I read that JER is coming back, I will be so happy!!!

Well true or not...AGAIN the behind the scenes stuff is a hell of a lot more interesting that what is on the screen.

Although if it turns out to be not true or Corday convinces her to stay, I wouldn't be surprise to hear about Ed Scott being let go. Sounds like there is some power struggles going one.

I wouldn't either, cubsgirl, but I think Sony would fight harder for Ed than they would for Dena. After all, Ed once EP'ed the number-one soap on the air. What does Dena have to show for all her years of service? Mysterious goo, lol?

I thought it was Corday who hired Scott, since Corday owns the majority stalk in DAYS, not Sony. Sony seems more actively involved in Y&R, Steven Kent is always at the Y&R set, I've seldom heard of his involvement in DAYS.

If the power sturggle is true, Corday could easily fire Scott, since I think his contract is up in August.

If JER comes back I will NEVER EVER watch again. I can't sit through that crap again.

I can't say I'm in mourning, she's always been a hack!

One hopes Corday doesn't rehire Reilly!

Co-signed.

JER was good in the 90s. I thank him for Kristen Blake.

But I can't sit through another stint.

Yay for the DOOL fans who hated Higley. I didn't hate her, but I didn't particularly care for her. I was glad that Abe & Lexie finally got a real storyline that didn't involve Lexie cheating on him.

Why can't GH fans be as lucky? I wish Guza would just up and quit.

Well this is great news for DAYS fans. Just as long as she stays FAR away from OLTL...

Just as long as she stays FAR away from OLTL...

Yeah, lol.

What do you want to bet, however, she'll turn up at GL?

With GL's new standard of suck she would fit right in.
