What is it going to take for them to finally fire this guy?

So much abuse has been tolerated in the entertainment industry for so long. It's great to see people say enough is enough...but you hate that it had to come to this. That set sounds like a complete toxic nightmare to work on for everyone who isn't Albert Alarr.

Makes you wonder/worry if Peacock would rather just throw in the towel than deal with this PR nightmare for a dinosaur TV series. 

[1974mdp]

I just emailed the two Peacock executives and told them that until AA is removed from the DOOL staff I am cancelling Peacock...which I just did.

[dragonflies]

I can actually see this happening TBH. They might feel it's not worth it and just get rid of the show @Gray Bunny

Peacock would have a nightmare PR situation on their hands if they canceled the show rather than fire Alarr or take action. Doesn't mean they wouldn't since TPTB don't seem to have any sense, but the blowback would be so intense and I don't think they want that.

I have heard that some actresses have said they are not willing to work with Alarr anymore.

The thing is that if they wanted to, NBCU & Peacock could ride in on a big white horse & SAVE DAYS!! They're in the most likely win-win position. 

Of course they lost money earlier this year.

There is definite truth to this statement. There is also the logic that says that if a show or an organization knows that they could be be downsized to oblivion, they would be on their p’s and was to make sure everything is run properly so as not to give the network additional reasons to dump them. Or did tptb at Days (until recently) believe that being the sole remaining daytime soap on the network gave them some sort of insurance and so they just let indifference set in?

Maybe, but we know that these streamers play by different rules. Many a show (some even critically acclaimed) was canceled by Netflix despite fans campaigning to keep the shows. I just don’t think that loyalty has the same hold on them as it has traditionally been known to have on network.

These websites need to do at least a bit of fact checking...

Do they really think Ken Corday co-created Days of Our Lives with his parents at age 13?

Jason47 has posted that the "dyke" comment was said to Judi Evans. On her IG acct she had previously described wearing that jumpsuit & hairstyle. Alarr is a very bad man. 

Word has leaked out that Fran Drescher called Ken & set up a meet between a SAGAFTRA rep & him & Sony!

Yup, Netflix and Paramount Plus both have done this. 

[titan1978]

What a terrible week for me to get rid of Twitter.

Shaming JE? It simply keeps getting worse as these incidents are exposed.

Is there something about AA that makes him a little more protected?

You'd think Sony/Peacock would fire him outright, but, perhaps, they fear a discrimination law suit. Even if that's the case, ask him to resign even if it means paying him some part of his contract.

We're not talking about a couple of isolated incidents over 20 years. It absolutely makes zero sense that he's still there.
