Members dragonflies Posted February 9, 2015 Members Share Posted February 9, 2015 http://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/exclusive-major-writer-switch-days Big behind the scenes news at DAYS: Head Writers Gary Tomlin and Christopher Whitesell are out and Dena Higley and Josh Griffith will be replacing them, effective February 16. Griffith, who has extensive soap credits, including GH, ATWT, OLTL, SANTA BARBARA and HOLLYWOOD HEIGHTS, last served as Y&R’s head scribe from 2012-13; Higley is no stranger to Salem, having served as the show’s head writer twice, in 2003, and from 2008-11..

Members sungrey Posted February 9, 2015 Members Share Posted February 9, 2015 GREAT news. At this rate, anything is better than Gary and Chris. (Even a third run of Dena.) I am VERY excited, however, about Josh Griffith. This might be a good move for Days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chris B Posted February 9, 2015 Members Share Posted February 9, 2015 I don't remember what Higley's writing was like, but I don't remember liking any of her soap stints, especially OLTL. This is weird. I also wonder how Josh Griffith will be, he is very hit or miss himself. Regardless, DAYS has been boring as all hell for the longest. They needed a change and it'll be interesting to see how this works out. It's crazy they obviously made this change probably 6-8 months ago and we're just finding out. Hopefully it works out for them. At least the current team was boring but passable, if this is a disaster they're screwed.

Members John Posted February 9, 2015 Members Share Posted February 9, 2015 Why isnt Lorraine Broderick a Co-HW with Josh Griffith? I think that may be a good team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted February 9, 2015 Members Share Posted February 9, 2015 Griffith is boring as hell too, so I can't imagine the terrible combination this is going to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ivanmmd Posted February 9, 2015 Members Share Posted February 9, 2015 Well NBC must have already decided to cancel the show. It is finished with Dena as a writer. She is the worst writer Days has ever had. Just dreadful. And these hacks just keep getting work until they put all of the Soaps out of business. Why in the world would they bring her back for a third time. That is enough for me. Goodbye Days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted February 9, 2015 Members Share Posted February 9, 2015 Does this mean this was done behind the scenes and they start AIRING in February or they were just hired? If that is the case, why announce this? Their work won't air until the end of the year lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
