I got this from The Early Edition. The brought it over from Arianne's message board.

It's Never Good-Bye

Hello Everyone,Well, by now all of you or at least most of you have heard that I am not going to be returning to "Days". Yes, this is true. I decided to try something new and exciting. "Days" has been my home for EIGHT AMAZING YEARS! The show has allowed me a wonderful life and with that said it has also allowed me the courage to spread my wings. I will love "Days" forever. I want to thank you all for your support and love, and please continue to pass by this site. I will keep you posted on things that I am doing and hopefully will get you hooked on some other show! (I don't have one, yet). I wanted to clarify that my last airdate is not Feb. 10th. I know it's confusing, but that is the last date of my contract. I will be shooting what I believe is my last show this coming Friday the 20th. I am not sure when that airs, but I will let you know. I will also be updating this site. It should be finished some time in March. Until then...Thank you for standing by me and the character of Nicole. I hope I made you laugh, cry, and just plain throw things at the television.

See You Soon,

Arianne

My thoughts; well her supposed last airdate was the 8th; not the 10th. LOL. But even though I don't think we'll get a goodbye scene, it at least gives us a little hope...

I agree. Days has had some bad exits but this is the worst. I know it was short notice and she left quick but they could have asked Ari to stay another week or so and close out things. I still have a feeling they are gonna recast or bring her back to finish things up later because Days would never start the planned Nicole/Roman story if they didn't intend on doing more with it. Either that or everything happened to fast to change things but this was awful. I hated the idea of the coupling anyway but for that to be my last memory of Nicole is sick. I hope Days does something to rectify this somehow (bring her back for a day or something) because this was bad. I knwo they had their reasons for why this happened but there were other ways to avoid it.

That's what I can't figure out. They were aware that her contract was coming up; I assume there were negotiations going on. It'd be one thing if her exit was rushed, or if she just appeared in a random episode and then we had Austin saying something the next day about how she was moving to LA to head up the High Style team or whatever. But to START a new story on what they knew could be her last tape date? Weeeird.

    • I also like how they've set up all the pieces where they could do yet another "shocking Gio parentage reveal" in another year or so if they want to. Because it's not at all implausible that teenage BLQ would have sexually experimented with both Dante and Cody. So if they want another violin-smashing moment next year, just have Gio find out that Cody is his real bio-dad.
    • I agree, also am able to see various points of view. Lulu, Lois & I think the two of them are going to rival one another for the heat they are going to take. 
    • When you think about it, someone who stayed on for as long as Devon must have some fans out there. She also had an alcohol issue. I saw a host of episodes with her and Cliff on YouTube. I wanna say that’s who Cliff was entertaining while Nina had the affair with Steve.  Do you believe she lasted so long because Brooke left and they kept recasting Nina?

    • Thanks again @Paul Raven  It shows you just what a unique and memorable performer Denise Alexander was that I can see her in these moments and hear her even though I've never watched any of the material. On paper it probably wasn't up to much, but I do wish I could see her playing it. Meanwhile, the Diana material continues to seem like one plate of ass after another...I was thinking she had finally been able to move on with the therapy breakthrough, but then we're right back with her believing Peter and Leslie are having an affair. I don't know how much further off the material is that made Valerie Starrett leave, but I can't blame her.  I see less and less of Jessie anywhere in this - is this when Emily's health troubles were starting to phase her out of story? Going a few summaries back, writing out Lee, Caroline, her son and his wife seems so rushed. It's a shame Marland, or whoever, killed off all of them (aside from Lee), as they might have given Lee some story down the line. Or maybe the daughter-in-law survived too - I can't remember.
    • Thanks!  I compiled the list and posted it for the 59th anniversary in November, but just made the updates now for the couple of new cast members we've had since then! Didn't realize until I did the update that Peyton is the first-ever contract actor born in Nevada, so that's another state off the 0 list!
    • What I love about this story is that I can empathize with both Lulu's point of view AND Lois's point of view. I can understand why Lulu thinks it's important for the truth to come out and why she feels a moral obligation to let Dante know he has a son. But these good intentions have gotten all mixed up with her hatred for BLQ, and so she's going about it like a self-righteous bully who hasn't thought through all the consequences of this reveal. And I can understand Lois's thought process keeping this secret. She couldn't bear to give her grandson away to strangers, and so she arranged an adoption that kept him in the family. From her perspective, it's worked out beautifully because as Gio grew up as a "Palmieri cousin", he got to know his father Dante, his mother Brook Lynn, and his grandfather Sonny. She just had the hubris to believe that she could play God and keep the secret forever.  Maybe it's just getting to see Cynthia Watros and Laura Wright in full-on catfight mode a few days ago, but the show is starting to remind me of Guiding Light in its heyday, where most of the drama comes from the interactions of long-running characters who are likeable in some ways but have enough fatal flaws that they create their own problems. That's a sharp contrast for the way GH has generally been written since the JFP era, where most of the drama comes from external threats: supervillians, Sweeps month disasters, the mob shootout of the week. 
    • Wow, @JAS0N47, that list of states was impressive! And I never knew that James Read hailed from near me! (I was born and raised in a nearby city, about 15 minutes away!) (Liked him since he played Murphy Michaels on Remington Steele when I was a kid. As an older kid, I also loved him on North and South!)
    • Oh, I remember this vividly! So trippy to see Mike Brady as a devil-worshiping judge. LOL! (With the mustache and curly hair in some pics, Reed seemed to have a surface resemblance to early-Jeopardy Alex Trebek!)
    • This makes Karen, now this & a guy on Facebook named Brent Costel. Sony is really deleting so many files.
