Members brimike Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 She's already (technically) out, as she went fi-core right before the strike ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KevC1980 Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 Brmike what do you think will happen to Katherine Foster and the other great directors from Ed Scott's team? I pray we don't lose them and the new casting director..They have done wonders for Days.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 The only way I see the crew Scott brought to DAYS leaving is if they leave out of loyalty to Scott, or go to another soap Scott or David Shaughnessy might produce. If Tomlin is smart, he'd keep those directors, and being a director himself, he should know the quality work they can direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 I agree, Kev. And honestly, truly, I don't have a clue. Your guess is as good as mine. My sources just say this is true, and that's about it. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 Does this mean I'm getting my Y&R directors back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 It makes you wonder if Corday was planning this for a long time. I mean, I find it strange that Ed Scott was fired yesterday, and his replacement has already been named in the same day. Something seems off there to me.

Members MarkH Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 Ugh, I almost wish you hadn't said this. Because there is a Y&R element here (hope, hope, hope), I now will have a knot in my stomach until the next shoe drops. Of course, I want them ALL back to Y&R. The universe isn't right until this gets repaired. But I fear the reality is we're going to lose all these people from daytime forever. The options for other jobs are few, so if their bridges are burned Y&R...we've lost them. Honestly, I think Gary Tomlin HAS to fire them. Their loyalties were to Scott...that is clear. A new leader just CAN'T be surrounded by so many loyalists to the old regime. Poor Days. Several folks commented on a recent quality upsurge. Do you think this is over now? D*ck. Tease. Just kidding . My hopeful side is with you Sylph...but my realistic side says were going to lose them all from daytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 Bad for DAYS, GOOOOOOOOOOD for Y&R! I SO hope that Scott and all those fabu directors go back to Y&R! And SOON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members miajere Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 GT kept OLTL up in the ratings, throughout the entire writer's strike and wrote very well for some pretty crappy characters that hadn't had good lines in years. He gave us B*tchy Adrianna, a more useful Cristian, a John/Todd faceoff....this man saved OLTL's May sweeps.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dm. Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 Wow, isn't this a nice shocker to ready first thing in the morning! I don't know what to say about this exactly, I hope Tomlin will be a good fit for DAYS... The thing that I'm mostly interested in is the second firing that's about to come.... I PRAY that Griffith is out at Y&R.... I guess we'll have to see. And wow, Tomlin surely does a lot of work... just recently he stopped directing, turned to writing, and now back to producing...

Members skiman12082004 Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 I think Gary Tomlin is a really good Producer so hopefully this transition won't be as bad as we all think it will be. He did win OLTL its only outstanding show Emmy. I am just stunned though at how foolish Ken Corday and Co. are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 Didn't Gary Tomlin and JER work together on Passions? I have mixed feelings about this. With both GT and Dena there expect the camp to be turned up to 100%. Ugh and Chris Whitesell too? Yeah DAYS will be a combination of PSSNS/SuBe/Early 2000s OLTL by the end of the year. Yeah it could have been much worse during the writer's strike at OLTL, but Tomlin dropped the Allison Perkins story and Adrianna's 180 came out of nowhere proving to be totally plot driven. I enjoyed some of the decisions he made but it did get a bit boring with him as he focused alot more on Starr/Cole. I don't see this as such a scandal as everyone makes it out to be. Imagine how less destructive Higley's tenure on OLTL would have been if she had a EP that interferred? Now with Scott gone, who knows what that woman has cooked up for the cast. Perhaps we'll see the return of the mysterious goop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JONNYSBRO Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 I will say this Gary Tomlin is not a bad choice. He is not the visionary Ed Scott is for DAYS. Tomlin has worked for NBC before, he was executive producer of Sunset Beach it's entire run. Also he executive produced OLTL from 2001 to early 2003. He came in after JFP and I will say something while I did not love everything he did, it was a much needed relief after the doldrums of the JFP years. The show was lightened up and was alot better. He did win OLTL it's only daytime emmy for best show as executive producer. He was then let go and Frank Valentini took over. Tomlin did head write during the strike and has been an occasional script writer on the writing team. He is better at producing then writing a show.
