Members ReddFoxx Posted October 30, 2024 Members Share Posted October 30, 2024 With Clifton Davis being cast my hope for the future is that Anna Maria Horsford is cast as Vernon's ex or a fellow Senator who likes him and goes around pushing Anita's buttons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted October 30, 2024 Members Share Posted October 30, 2024 (edited) Because Mike Manning identifies as bisexual. And based on his writing on Days, it seems to me like Ron has a problem with bisexuality, particularly male bisexuality. And I’m worried that he’ll project that bias onto Smitty in episodes that he writes or breaks down Edited October 30, 2024 by AbcNbc247 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 30, 2024 Members Share Posted October 30, 2024 They continue to hire hack writers. They reward them. Ron laughed at the Days viewers as HW. How can you have someone so toxic on your writing team? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted October 30, 2024 Members Share Posted October 30, 2024 For all intents and purpose, I doubt this'll fly with Val Jean, Guza & Dansby. At all. Plus, both Bradley & Martin are gay in-character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted October 30, 2024 Members Share Posted October 30, 2024 All the good vibes from yesterday went away with the list of writers, producers and directors disclosed today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted October 30, 2024 Members Share Posted October 30, 2024 Two of the directors (Williford and Pascarelli) are friends of Julie Hanan Carruthers and she mentored them at AMC, so not surprised by the directing choices. Seems JHC is leading the technical production as we all had suspected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted October 30, 2024 Members Share Posted October 30, 2024 He's a breakdown writer; he writes what he's told. Also, this tweet conveys my feelings: Am I upset? Sure. Am I going to throw it away or cause it to kill my excitement? HELL NO! I trust Michele Val Jean entirely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted October 30, 2024 Members Share Posted October 30, 2024 (edited) Neither am I. I’m the only one on here saying that the guy does have writing talent. He just needs to be objective Edited October 30, 2024 by AbcNbc247 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted October 30, 2024 Members Share Posted October 30, 2024 I posted this upthread, too late to edit to add on, so reposting with more ... Sonia Blangiardo is listed as a producer on the table-read script that Colby Muhammad posted on instagram this morning. Sonia Blangiardo Goins is currently a director at DAYS. She's the one that at least 25 of the DAYS cast&crew requested in a petition to be promoted to co-EP to replace the repugnant firedguy(Alarr.) . But DAYS promoted Janet Spellman Drucker to co-EP instead. from @JAS0N47 https://www.jason47.com/days/staffbios.html Sonia Blangiardo has previously directed at "As the World Turns" (2005-2010), "General Hospital" (2012-2013), "All My Children" (2013) and the web series "Winterthorne" (2015), and also was a producer on "All My Children", "As the World Turns", "One Life to Live" and the web series "Tainted Dreams." She has been nominated for 4 Daytime Emmys, winning two (2002 for "One Life to Live" and 2007 for "As the World Turns.") Blangiardo was born April 18, 1968 in Brooklyn, New York. She married actor Brandon Goins on April 6, 2018, and her first credit as Sonia Blangiardo Goins aired on May 1, 2018. Tenure: October 14, 2015-Present --- Quoting The Wrap from August 2023: https://www.thewrap.com/days-of-our-lives-co-ep-albert-alarr-fired-misconduct-investigation-peacock-nbcu/ An insider close to production told TheWrap that NBCU brass requested the extended hiatus to give the show time to find a path forward. Earlier this week, at least 25 members of the show’s cast and crew signed a petition obtained by TheWrap that detailed the “traumatic and disheartening” work environment made public in the reports, and asking for Alarr to be replaced as co-executive producer with longtime director Sonia Blangiardo. “As you make this critical decision with ‘Days of Our Lives’ moving forward, we humbly ask that you consider our collective voice in choosing the best leader for the future of our show,” read the letter. End quote from The Wrap. ---- ------------- I just wanted to add on that Ron Carlivati being listed as a breakdown writer ... Hopefully his misogynist tendencies will be counteracted by Sonia Blangiardo being hired on the producers team ... At least 25 of the cast and crew thought Sonia would be the best choice to turn the Days ship around after firedguy.A. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted October 30, 2024 Members Share Posted October 30, 2024 ALL OF THIS! I have no doubt MVJ will keep him in check, she's not going to let anyone ruin her dream 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vanguard Posted October 30, 2024 Members Share Posted October 30, 2024 (edited) Hmmm.......I suppose all we can do is wait until it debuts to find out. If it has an awful debut (a la Generations) and remains that way for roughly the first two weeks then we'll probably know why. It typically doesn't take very long to get an actual feel of any new show. Edited October 30, 2024 by vanguard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted October 30, 2024 Members Share Posted October 30, 2024 Daytime soaps are different, IMO. You do need to give the actual product a few months to see if there is any momentum and if its identity is set up properly. Generations didn’t level up until NBC mandated Jorn Winther come in as Senior EP to guide/school Sally Sussman Morina on what it actually means to produce and write an interesting daytime drama (but once he had given that show any momentum, it was already too late). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 30, 2024 Members Share Posted October 30, 2024 I would've gotten Scott Mckinsey and Noel Maxam from Days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted October 30, 2024 Members Share Posted October 30, 2024 Or found directors new to daytime, but much like writers, they were probably moving quickly and needed people who they knew could get the job done quickly at launch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
