Hi, I am really missing something here. Allison Sweeney had taken over writing duties bypassing the hack scab? Is that correct? Why is this such a terrible thing? In her mind (and obviously someone else's who gave her permission) she will be at Days after this writer and the following 3 in a neverending parade come and go, so why should she (with presumably corporate okay) not pitch in? Days is sort of like a floundering start up now, and sometimes people have to go outside their job description to help the team. Erika Slezak did it a different way when she pushed the same hack overboard on OLTL. Here they went about it another way. Am I missing or misunderstanding something?

The thing is it shoud not had been done. The show has a HW and if there were issues there are proper ways to handle it. This was not it. The EP rewriting and then encourging the cast to also rewrite is wrong. Its not that Ali and the oither cast members MBE & SN are high on my list..) are not part of the wga, because non union writers can write. just not for a show/movie that ueses union writers and whatnot. i think. i dont know all the legal details, but i would assume ed scott will be in major trouble. ali and the other cast members can pull the 'my boss told me to do it' story - as they should. as i have said before i defend all actors who edit or even rewrite there scripts becuase there are plenty of people above them who allow it. but apperantly more than allow it some encourge it.

Yeah, the bolded part is pretty erroneous - to blame Ed Scott for everything? I don't think so! And to act like Dena hasn't had a hand in the crap that is DAYS right now......again, I don't think so!

I agree- to an extent.

If this went down the way its being said then i would place most of the blame on ES and KC.

It doesnt matter how awful DH was. What if this was a HW that you loved? Would you feel diff about the situation? What went down was wrong. and if it was breaking laws those responsable need to be punished.

everything. and it could had been a very complx intersting story that broguht abe and lexie to the front and center.

    • 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.
