Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 It was revealed AFTER the stike that Dena did indeed go Fi-Core... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 Couldn't one argue that "loopy off the wall" has become a Days trademark? If yes...I'm all about shows being what they are...what someone else here yesterday called "distinct identities". It seems to be all about the fit of the creative team with the legacy product they are stewarding. After decades with the Bell machine, one is not so surprised that Ed Scott didn't last in that schizophrenogenic environment. That said, I have concerns that Ed himself might not be the easiest to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 As much as I want it, I don't think it will happen. I hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 I think it all ties back into the scandal Nelson was reporting about both DAYS and Y&R and how they're linked in this way. Nelson says he has another firing to report later today, we'll have to wait and see what that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 The tension is killing me! Yes, Sylph, I am aware of the fact that it probably won't happen. They don't seem to even consider him for that spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 I do not believe we will hear anything for a while...I have no faith. I know what I want to happen, but my thoughts are nostalgic. They are about restoring a Y&R creative team that existed in early 2005, more or less. Which is stupid, because that team had some problems...and because it will never happen. But as I watch Y&R fail to EVEN maintain the momentum of the "Impact" (total downhill after 08/06/08...especially with the STUPIDEST TRIANGLE/PREGNANCY EVER WRITTEN IN THE HISTORY OF THAT SHOW NOW FRONT-BURNER)...I keep thinking a team with some skills is needed. And then, I watch B&B and I hear about DOOL, where most of the people I'm fantasizing about have perched, and I see what messes both are...and I think my nostalgia is ill-placed. So then I feel it is all hopeless, and I go searching for the emergency Prozac dose . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 #1. GT did not write May sweeps at OLTL this year. At least, not most of it IIRC. #2. GT's pet writer, Chris Whitesell, is terrible. Possibly not as terrible as Dena, but still quite terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 You're correct Vee. Ron Carlivati's work began airing May 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 After all these terrible behind-the-scenes "goings on", can DOOL recover its credibility? I don't think so. At least, it would need a whole lot of time to do it. Then again, time is a luxury it does not have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 I don't think that's a concern, DAYS has had very little credibility, if any, within the industry FOR YEARS now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sylph Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 And with the fans? That was what I was thinking about primarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 DAYS fans have been abused and treated like crap by TPTB for years now, I think many have become numb to the behind the scenes trouble that has been plaguing this show for years.

Members MarkH Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 Watch the viewer numbers. Credibility with fans is also lacking. The loss of companion soaps, promotion, and the much-announced claim that DOOL might soon be cancelled...all have done their damage. That said, I don't see (from our trend analysis) evidence that Days is declining at a faster rate. The whole industry disappears. Really, it doesn't matter what else is going on. The industry itself is evaporating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members operagirl1 Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 Dena Higley went fi-core only the LAST MONTH of the strike. AFTER the DOOL actor's interview, regarding the new female headwriter, and months after the strike began: http://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/lofiver...php/t24705.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
