DAYS: Actors released from contracts

[Gray Bunny]

 

 

Okay there stud 

 

I kid, I kid 

[Soapsuds]

Lawd...you're terrible Tim.

 

My soap watching will be officially done in September when Chandler last airs. 

 

I hope he does more movies. In the video they mention a meet and greet with him. I'd love to meet him. Probably my last chance to. 

 

 

 

I wish Freddie would stop praising the crappy stories they got. And it's apparent Freddie only listened to his Twitter and insta page viewers because a lot of people were sick of the Wilson pairing and preferred Will with Paul. I know Chandler was aware of it since he mentioned it on his Twitter page a while back.

I don't know. It seems like Days never wanted Freddie/Sonny to have facial hair. It seems like he always had to shave it before he went back to taping. Even though I think he looks better with facial hair.

 

I think that a lot of men in general (maybe most) look better with at least some amount of facial hair. I would like to see more men including some of the younger ones wear it more.

I actually hate shaving and currently have the Chandler Massey look/beard. I think I look better with it but my mother hates it.

The budget probably didn't allow for 3 goodbye cakes.

thus them not finding out about their firing. It's sad though that they were never officially told they were let go.

Judi found out through her script, sounds like Days is making firing people this way the norm

[Gray Bunny]

Such a great family show behind the scenes. The higher ups really care about their cast.

Ken Corday.

he is always the first and last reason why this show is in the crapper, looking like a HS production (not trying to insult HS productions)...

it is. so unprofessional. KC needs someone with some serious money and a love for DAYS to buy him out. he has proven has no NO IDEA what the hell he's doing. and so has Sony.

Judi, I can sort of get that at least - she's recurring and has another job plus they have Bonnie in the wings they might want to use. I could see that being an oversight, but Galen, Chandler and Freddie? They've been regularly on the canvas for the last decade+. How hard is it to sit down with them and actually tell them that they're being written out?

That podcast is too much.

 

Freddie acts like he’s some incredible actor, when he’s really awful. He always came to work ready to tape with no rehearsal? Yeah, I can tell.

 

Chandler did at one point say that not being told they were fired was “shi_tty,” but overall kept praising everyone at DAYS and declaring his love for everyone there. 
 

it was so obvious he doesn’t want to burn bridges there or harm his career in any way. I. get that, but overdoing the praise was sickening.

I’m sure that smirky knows that chances are slim that he’ll get hired elsewhere. Whatever happened to him studying mandarin? That’ll come in handy. 

[will81]

Did Chandler always smirk his way through the show? Last time I watched was 2012/2013 when Eileen Davidson returned and I don't remember him being like that back then. Maybe I blocked it out.

[Soapsuds]

And he wants to submit his crying scenes over Adrienne death for Emmy consideration.....lol

And Mr. DUI thinks he can act.

He was always better with the veteran actors. He was even better with Paul. I doubt he will ever admit to being bored working with Freddie.

[edgeofnik]

I know Smirky gets a lot of justifiable grief for his seemingly lazy acting, but this is DAYS - the same show that’s kept Drake employed for years. 

 

@Soapsuds there’s a marked difference when CM is paired with certain vets. It’s probably because actors like ED and LK wouldn’t stand for it.  What CM and some actors don’t seem to get is that most material, especially on 250+ episode/yr soaps, isn’t great, but good actors are able to transcend and sell even the worst material. 

 

Plus I do believe CM will be back within a few months. The other 2, I doubt will ever return.

Someone on twitter said Chandler talked about the smirking once, that it's a nervous thing for his character I guess? Makes no sense
