Members bellcurve Posted September 4, 2010 Members Share Posted September 4, 2010 But the stipulation upon Reilly's return would be that he would have complete and total creative control of the show. So, it wouldn't have mattered to Reilly(at the time) that Ken Corday thought it was a good/bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted September 4, 2010 Administrator Share Posted September 4, 2010 That's what everyone speculated that Marlena would be possessed again but Reilly didn't want to that again because it was too obvious. What I'm saying is that the major plot points were planned: who the killer was, who the final victim was, and the twist that they were all alive. I believe that Reilly had a longer timeline but Corday wanted things to end earlier, therefore things were moved up and that's why we got 3 months of nothing happening on the island. Aside from insider claims, there is nothing to support the theory that they were all suppose to die for real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted September 4, 2010 Administrator Share Posted September 4, 2010 No, Reilly never had full control - no HW does. Corday could've vetoed anything he wanted. He just didn't have the power to fire Reilly. It took him along time to convince NBC to fire Reilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted September 4, 2010 Members Share Posted September 4, 2010 Which is so odd since NBC has absolutely no ownership in DAYS. NBC seems rather actively involved in a show that it has no ownership stake in. I read through the book in the bookstore...boy oh boy does Corday kiss the ass of everyone whose still on the show while still paying Hall fans major lip service. He explains 9 actresses as being the 'jewels' in the crown that is DAYS. His take on Louise Sorel is probably the most honest thing he's written in the book. He doesn't overly praise her, doesn't overly slam her, he simply says that she's a great actress whose a major pain in the ass to work with with an ego to match. On the other hand, he goes on and on about how marvelous Suzanne Rogers is and how she's like family...the same type of family you FIRE (my ass he planned it all along!) and bounce from the Sony health insurance plan I suppose. He really goes on and on and on about the actors on the show, it gets old fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted September 5, 2010 Members Share Posted September 5, 2010 If you say it is so, then it is so. Days was thisclose to being canceled in 2003 and the stipulation for renewal was the return of Reilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
