DEADLINE: Days of our Lives Misconduct Investigation Against Co-EP Albert Alarr

I feel grotesque even typing this but... is there an actor in Days history who died by suicide prior to 2017? That feels like the most identifying detail in that blind.

I believe the allegations about Albert, but that blind sounds even more dramatic and dire than what we've heard from the Days set.

@jam6242 Thanks for pointing that out. I have absolutely no memory of him or his character, but that's awful on its own, and to think it was tied to Days is horrific.

Alarr didn't come onboard at Days until 2003, so I'm not sure his stint overlaps enough to know for sure, but it's truly horrible if so.

I think that was the name. He got busted for either dealing or possession in the early 2010s IIRC, so he would fit both the age range and 'a few issues' comment.

I hope so. I kinda think Peacock might encourage him. Of course, there's someone who does a popular podcast who is sure that JFP wants the job. And, of course she would. Dear God, fire & frying pan. But, Jill spends a lot of money & DAYS doesn't have it. I want Greg Meng to get back from Italy. Not that you can't make phone calls. Apparently Peter Reckell reached out to Greg Meng today. Oh, to have been a fly on the wall. It's possible he is back. On his FB page his last post - from Italy - is July 20!!

Yep, that’s him, and he’s the first one that came to my mind while reading that. He was 16-17 at the time he was on the show and was later arrested for selling coke out of his parents’ house. Seems he escaped from acting at around the same time. “Escaped” bc I almost said he gave up, and that doesn’t seem to be the appropriate phrase if the blind item is about him.

Agreed that the timeline of Dylan Patten's arrest and probation fits the blind item

Assuming the story is true, none of my questions really matter, but the way it was written was deliberately obtuse, especially because of the use of the term "casting couch" as both a noun and an adjective.  And because it is written with none of the sensitivity that we use in post Times-Up culture

For example, the whole paragraph about the "biggest casting couch person on the set" who is friends with an A-lister who likes drugs really confused me because are we meant to think that being a big casting couch person refers to one who demands sexual favors, or one who provides sexual favors.

The actor who "refused all casting couch advances" and was fired, "but later went on to win an Emmy", seems as if it would be simple to infer given the awards - Dylan Patton was nominated for best younger actor in 2010, then between 2011-2015 Chandler Massey won 3xs, Freddy Smith won in 2015, and James Lastovic was nominated in 2017.  True O'Brien won the younger actress Emmy in 2016.  But, even that is confusing because they reference both men and women as victims of the casting couch, which leads me to think they were saying it is systemic, because they mention "producers and writers", rather than attributed to a single terrible person.

    • Okay, here's another way to access the drag segment we've been working on the IDs for.  https://www.instagram.com/p/DJR8Ymhpx22/ The 14th Annual Soap Opera Digest Awards 1998 The Opening & the First Segment Guys in Drag on Daytime AW Cass & Jake DAYS Ivan GH Kevin & Mac BEACH Eddie
    • In all fairness, during the 90s (post Rex's death) Kay was often rarely onscreen except for visiting Nikki on the Newman ranch and it would have sense that she was BUSY at Chancellor Industries the rest of the time...

    • Don't even put that idea out there!  
    • I liked the food poisoning angle on Thursday because I said beforehand that I would be annoyed if Vanessa was not there at her BFF's party. And I loved they already planned ahead in the dialogue. lol.   But watching the scene (and a bit of a rewind), it hit me. Wait is she...??? Ooo gurrrl. lol. 
    • I'm not at all surprised the 10 lowest-rated episodes are all from Season Seven. Moving The Golden Girls from 9 p.m. to 8 p.m. was foolish.
    • As the folklore goes, Love Boat episodes generally had one "heart" story, one "laughs" story, and one "tears" story. I guess Hotel just stuck with "heart" and "tears."
    • I thought food poisoning was an odd reason for Vanessa to miss the party.  That's why I appreciate reading everyone's comments and theories on this thread.  Oh!!  It hadn't occurred to me to speculate that she might be pregnant. I figured that she and Doug ate different things.  But pregnancy fits better.  I did think Shanice's dialogue delivery was slightly awkward (unusual for her)... but that would make sense if Shanice knew Vanessa had a pregnancy test but Vanessa said don't tell Doug.  I love all this theorizing/speculating, especially since we have no idea what will happen.
    • I want that as well, but given how much I've been playing catch-up during some personal/family drama, it's been background music with very little to hold my interest. Then I saw a spoiler and rolled my eyes.   Very. I guess JG is hitting another of his low points. 
    • Well...unexpected wiggle room is still wiggle room.   I went back and finally rewatched Friday's episode (along with Thursday's). And God, how those episodes flowed. It did help that Zimmerman did the breakdowns for both so the plot threads were cohesive. I do wonder if she did it today as well. Martin and Tate also of course did good scripts. And I might have to take back my earlier comment about the crowd. While it was not like Nicole's Award Event where I felt there were more extras (and was in the minority on that), I felt this one did not have enough (also in the minority). But on a rewatch, I did like that Production actually did a fairly decent job of covering it up so kudos.    I also wanted to take the moment to say the majority of the week before last (and this past week) were full of cliffhangers. Perhaps not what is used to, but they were there. And I loved that since the majority of said cliffhangers were connected to Silk Press Sheila, it gave an intensity and build to the last week leading to this superb episode that gave us not only an old school soap reveal (complete with moments to let the scenes breathe, but annoyed in how other scenes which were also good did not compare...another sign of knowing when a reveal is great) but, THREE cliffhangers!!! Well-done, Cliffhanger Friday!!!   Ms. Mann and Ms. Michelle were clearly the stars. I've said it once someone mentioned it and I'll say it again...Ambyr just gives so much SMG's version of Kendall on AMC in Eva, and I love that. And that reveal on Silk Press Sheila...WOW. Great to have confirmation that BILL was the lawyer. Even better to see Silk Press interacting with all of the Duprees and not being a bit scared. And yes, I caught that she was preggers at the same time as Nicole. I also caught in the Martin vs Ted scene when he was talking about the timeline was another clue...since we discussed the timeline during Kat's birthday party episodes and how odd it was that Silk Press Sheila would celebrate Eva's birthday if the weeks were off. UNLESS...they're not. I just feel they would not be mentioning it unless SilkPress has a 90s DAYS Sami Trump card incoming. And 90s DAYS Sami Brady ALWAYS had a trump card. So...looking forward to today. lol.    I'm also going to be in the minority about the next thought. I thought Maurice did a good job as Ted in the reveal scenes. Though I do agree that compared to everyone else...even his FOINE doctor friend...he was the weak leak. DD was giving and she was in the background reacting. The Avengers...I mean...the Duprees closing ranks...was great and also showed how in sync the actors were. Naomi being sure Chels was not filming THIS time was a hoot. And I lived for Kat's shade among the mess. I'm happy that we are here at this reveal with OriginalTed since the rumor (marking preemptions) we are a little under two weeks to go before he's out.   I liked the layers. One thing that I like about this show. We usually mention something here and then the show writers have it mentioned either in episode or immediately in the next. The SilkPress/Eva picture last week. Where is Naomi/Vanessa this week of episodes. And they got to it. Well-played. I also like the reveal that Martin knew SilkPress as a kid, calling back to that weird scene with the brownie. I mentioned the Bill-as-Lawyer scene, calling back to Bill/Vernon's first alone scene. The reveal of all of SilkPress's many names. The fact that Andre and Dani continue to grow closer and closer and had a near-miss...something this show knows how to do extremely well for me. Their near-misses built up the drama and story, and I see how much I'm invested when we have them. The whole Silk Press Sheila story being the best example.    I see from a few of the comments some of you all are already thinking about those consequences toward Bill that I was thinking about on Friday.

           And while I did not like the Vanessa/Doug scenes at first view...though I love they followed up on her food poisoning phone call on Thursday...I liked it on second watch. Partly because it gave another hint that Doug has some idea of what Vanessa is doing...if not who.  Partly because I had assumed that Doug got poisoned, too. Seeing it was just Vanessa confused me since I thought they were out at dinner pre-party. That said...I go back to my original thought in that moment. Has Vanessa being having all this sex without protection and we are going to get a WTD with Doug, Diego, and whoever else she has been with? Uh oh?    And I continue to also love how flashbacks are used. Rare do they show a flashback to a prior episode unless it's important so those are well done. And then you have the flashbacks like the one with Bill/Dani that informs the audience. And I loved that green dress. But tbf, I loved the feistiness of her red dress. Andre was not alone in taking her in.    And someone mentioned it the other day and I wanted to echo it. One thing I like about this show that I don't see much in the other soaps to this degree has been that several of the characters have their own personal style for sure, but the men's style really have stood out for me since its started. Ted being a clear example with his turtlenecks and general...for lack of better word at the moment manly...to him. I like that about the men where other men styles on other soaps just blend together.    Looking forward to Kat v Eva, Anita vs Silk Press Sheila, and Nicole vs Ted today.    Did I mention I was happy Clifton was back?
