I seriously thought this was a joke until I saw it on SOD. Well the 2nd time Higley got dumped for Carlivati

[AllMyDaysatGH]

NO FCKING way dude. 

[Darn]

This is fantastic news.  He is the exact type of writer this show needs.

 

Honestly Days has been so so bad over the last however many years that I can't imagine anyone could be upset by this. 

 

Im guessing his work airs in 2018. I'm being realistic with that number btw, it'll take that long, right?

[John]

Optimistic. Maybe Will returns now or in 6 months I should say

[YRfan23]

OMG.................

well......on the other hand.....the campiness of Days will be in full force.....

[John]

Given that they kept Quan it may have been budget too. Given her history at DAYS maybe Higley was getting pricy. Carlivati may be cheaper then Dena

[Dr Neil Curtis]

Oh Lord! Get ready for the return of  Kellam Chandler, Harper Deveraux, Ernesto Toscano, Marina Toscano, Addie Horton, Renee DiMera, Megan Hathaway, Samantha Evans is Hattie, The tale of two Romans part deux, Robert Kelker Kelly as Bo, and much more! 

[YRfan23]

I actually hope they get ED back when he comes in....I feel like he would have a field day writing for Kristen....I know she's "dead" but she would be on the "bring em back" list for sure....

[John]

Okay Quan is just a consultant now but they are also beiunging Sherri Anderson back as Consultant
 

That makes me happy

[Soaplovers]

I'm guessing her contract was up, and the show decided to embrace being campy...so they hire another hack.

 

Considering the show is hanging by a thread....I say cancel it...if the show can't bother to get decent people to write the show.

[Vee]

I should've seen it coming.

 

Honestly? It's probably the right place for him. His work both devolved to that level, embarrassing GH and at times OLTL, and yet was still somehow leagues above DAYS' current quality level. It felt like watching DAYS.

 

If they want to actually save the show, hiring Carlivati and Anderson together may do it on a creative level. Carlivati alone couldn't, but hiring Anderson is attempting to send a message which may be a Sony thing given the recent similar change at Y&R. Though without a brutal budgeter like Valentini - whose cost-cutting did help GH before it later crippled the show - I'm not sure that will help the financial bottom line.

 Daytime Emmy-winner Sheri Anderson Thomas, who has served on DAYS’s writing team in various capacities, including head writer and co-head writer in the ’80s and ’90s, will also hold the Creative Consultant title.

My favorite part!!!!!!

[Soapsuds]

So did I....LOL

 

I can just imagine the big camp he will write...LOLOLOLOLOL

[Paul Raven]

Please let this be a positive move for Days.

 

Carlivati can do some good stuff and Sheri must be there for a reason.

 

Pity it will take so long for onscreen changes to happen. By that time ratings might be beyond bad.

 

Is this a move to convince NBC that there is still some life in the old dog yet??
