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:

That's exactly what I meant.

No one knew if she went Fi-Core during the strike, as DAYS didn't list anyone in the credits (unlike the other soaps, which listed their fi-core writers). It wasn't until the strike ended did we know for certain that she did go fi-core. We know she most likely did so because of Hinsey outing her and the actors claiming her to be the show's new HW. She definitely wasn't fi-core until the final weeks of the strike though.

Except that not every show had people go Fi-Core.

And, I thought Corday bragged to someone about having her writing even though the strike was underway & that's what indirectly outed her.

Oh, darn.

I thought Ed Scott and his team did great work on Days.

But Gary Tomlin presided over SuBe which, in some ways, had a lot in common with Days.

We'll see... but a part of me is hoping Ed Scott lands on his feet.

I wonder if he will come home to Y&R

As for EPs: Gary Tomlin,

And Toups gets his #1 EP wish from a year ago...

Anyway, I thought this thread was relevant enough to be bumped.

ETA: Sorry for bumping that old thread before.

I've really enjoyed Days lately and assumed Ed Scott was responsible.

This is great... all DAYS needs is more backstage bullsh!t. *sigh...*

Who here thinks Dena is on her way out, too?

OLTL interviews with Tomlin:

1. Number 1

2. Number 2

People are going nuts about this scandal, and it could be a blessing in disguise. Who knows? The show may thrive.I think DOOL will leave the air in the very near future, and not because it's the worst in daytime- but because it's the only soap on NBC----they don't want any soaps. I don't see how people are blaming what is going down in the executive positions as the reason for its demise. This has been a collective contribution from the entire industry.

I also think the presence of DOOL and GL are hampering people's ability to look at soaps as anything other than terminally ill shows.

Too many John McBains masquerading as fans out there, want to save this show...but if NBC don't want it...maybe another network can pick it up....please no hate mail.

The whole Days debacle has long since gone beyond "juicy gossip" and just turned into "pathetic train wreck as we watch a legacy show head into oblivion with zero dignity". Are you listening, GL?!

Now that Griffith is out at Y&R (or so I've heard), I hope Scott takes over as EP. He's not perfect, but at least he knows the show.

(But if he reverses a certain recast there's a hand grenade coming his way.)

Again, if both Scott and allegedly Griffith (though Nelson has yet to name the other big firing he's hinted at) were fired for the same reason, I don't see Sony ever allowing one or the other back to one of their soaps.

Ed Scott can stay away from Y&R. If Griffith is indeed out, I say they should rehire David Shaughnessy. The last thing Y&R needs is another unethical producer to bring even more shame to the show. Ed Scott's reputation is forever tarnished, I'd be very surprised if he finds work again, but then again, daytime television is a very incestuous pool.

This just in: According to reliable sources Days of Our Lives executive producer Ed Scott has been relieved of his duties. Scott recently came under fire when TV Guide Canada's Nelson Branco ran an item in his column The Suds Report alleging Scott was re-writing scripts submitted by Days scribe Dena Higley and encouraging one of the soap's lead actresses to re-write her scenes. According to sources, the reports "really scared (Days Executive Producer) Ken Corday" which may have led to Scott's dismissal. Keep checking back to Daytime Confidential as the story develops.

GARY TOMLIN TAKES OVER AS CO-EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

"Days of Our Lives" co-executive producer Edward J. Scott was relieved of his duties on Friday, August 15, 2008. Scott had been with "Days" since August, 2007. New co-executive producer Gary Tomlin was the co-head writer of "Days of Our Lives" (along with Michelle Poteet-Lisanti) for 256 episodes from October 20, 1980-October 20, 1981. A few events during his tenure included the aging of Hope Williams to a teenager and the arrivals of Renee Dumonde and Jake Kositchek (the Salem Slasher). Tomlin began his career as an actor on such shows as "Search For Tomorrow", "The Waltons" and "Another World". He switched to writing in 1980 with "Days of Our Lives" and later with "Texas", "Search For Tomorrow", "Another World" and "Santa Barbara" (where he won an Emmy in 1989). Tomlin switched to producing in 1995 and had stints at "All My Children", "Sunset Beach" and "One Life to Live" (where he won an Emmy in 2002). From 2003-2008, Tomlin began the next phase of his career, as a director on "Passions." Tomlin, 58, was born March 6, 1950 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Gary Tomlin was not A Director on Passions from 2003-2008 because Gary Tomlin was A Writer on One Life To Live at least Last Fall During the Writer's Strike and even now I see his Name maybe something like Once A Week on One Life To Live. I don't know Anything, but I thought that Gary Tomlin was A Producer Right before He became A Writer on One Life To Live. I Read that Gary Tomlin was Supposed to become the Executive Producer on All My Children when Charles Pratt became the Head Writer and Julie Carruthers was going over to SoapNet. It looks like They Changed Their Mind about That. I don't know how they do things, but I would think that People can't just Jump around and be on More than One Show At A Time. In Other Words, Gary Tomlin Can't be A Director on Passions, but then go Write Once A Week on One Life To Live. Jody

Jody, the only reason why Tomlin was still a director for Passions while he was writing for OLTL was because PSSN was airing only three times a week. He stopped directing for PSSN before he joined the writing team at OLTL, but his episodes were still airing on DirecTV.

I would love Ed Scott to return to Y&R but he was let go and Bloom was never a big fan of his. CBS fired him before in 2001 and were not itching to have him back. My dream would be Ed Scott takes over GH, he would kill it over there. I just was the biatch known as JFP unemployed.
