I definitely thought immediately of Dena Higley. She and DAYS have a dysfunctional, symbiotic relationship. One of them is reckless drunk Gary Ewing and the other is Valene trying desperately to clean up the mess, and I’m not sure which is which.

In the cases of writers like Dena Higley, Josh  Griffin, and “Lethal” Leah Laiman I always question the absurdity of rehiring a known problematic HW that had been fired in the past. No logic there whatsoever at all. Neither is letting go one HW and then they show up shortly afterward at soap owned by the same company (P&G, Sony, ABC).

How many times was McTavish fired?  Three times from AMC, once from GL, once from GH.  Did she HW anywhere else?

 

Guza was also fired twice from GH as HW, and left a third time on his own (not counting his leave of absence when Pratt was there too).

Are some of them really 'fired' though? I feel like it some cases like McTrash with ABC that they just simply moved her around because she had a contract with ABC. Obviously she jumped to CBS then back to ABC, etc, but in certain cases aren't they just simply moving one HW around (like how P&G shuffled execs)

 

I think DAYS fans getting a petition to fire Dena Higley only for Corday to REHIRE HER takes the cake personally.

I think not having your contract renewed in this context is fired.  Looking up the dates, she often has a large enough gap between gigs that I think she was removed or let go by contract term for most tenures.

 

I do have a recollection of a planned relocation to GH with JFP though, like that one may have been more of a transfer than let go and rehired.  But she absolutely was fired from AMC three times.

Wasn’t she the one that got the show back on track for the last year?

I’m not sure, but it did seem NBC probably had a hand some shuffling her around in the late 80’s until she was unceremoniously dumped by Days.

 

That reminds me of the Corrington’s. They had success at SFT in the late 70’s but it turned out to be a real flash in the pan as they plowed through multiple soaps in the 80s with multiple failures. The Corrington’s found success again with their courtroom show Superior Court but it was short lived due to John’s passing, and I don’t believe Joyce didn’t do anything daytime related again afterward.

    • Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).
    • I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc
    • Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      Got another sad news from the Bahamian community (not a celebrity)  https://www.instagram.com/p/DJMSrYCgyes/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Former Bahamian Senate President J Henry Bostwick, Husband of former 1st Bahamian Female Cabinet Minister Dame Janet Bostwick is dead yesterday on his 86th birthday.    Thanks and for those who've aren't familiar with the talk shows in The Bahamas on this thread here, his talk show named The Freedom March with Dr Rodney Moncur that airs on ILTV and The Beat 103.5 FM Nassau every weekday afternoons. IIRC, he suffered a illness before he died.  Here's the link for his final taping of the show before his death: https://ewnews.com/this-is-powerful-rodney-moncurs-final-sign-off/
    • (video, sound up) https://www.instagram.com/p/DIopBYDOGwy/ April 19, 2025 theonlydaphneeduplaix I’m not a fan of running. I’m not a fan of biking. So instead, I do what I love to get me revved up!!! . What that 20 minute warm up always looks like for me. What do you love that gets your body moving? LET’S GO!!!!!!! #DanceItOut #NoExcuses #FitOverFourty #TakeYourBodyBack #FindWhatGetsYouMoving     .           .
    • One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.
    • You're welcome. Fall 1982-Spring 1985 was the peak of primetime soaps. What a time to have been alive.
    • 1990/91 Cheers, Roseanne, A Different World, The Cosby Show, Empty Nest, The Golden Girls were still Top 10 shows, and Murphy Brown and Designing Women became Top 10 shows. It was the following season that I think was the transition season for sitcoms.
    • @xtr I loved Martin in Thursday's episode, he was almost a different character. I thought he was flirty, funny, carefree, and giggly. Glad I have someone to share my top 2 women(Nicole and Eva) with, I agree Nicole is the heart of the Dupree family, and also the heart of the show IMO. We rode into the show on the passenger side of her car, lol. What I am enjoying the most about the show, is that they did such a great job character building, because all I care about is the CHARACTER journey. Nicole, Eva, Leslie, Dani, Chelsea, etc. very invested in what's coming next. I even feel that way about Mona, Shanice, and Doug.
