Those people who have a problem with it should go play with themselves. No one gives a crap if they are "offended" that this woman is writing for DAYS.

And it´s not [!@#$%^&*] I don´t like. It´s this "here comes the daytime savior" attitude which really turns me off. She is a newbie, she needs to prove herself first.

I, actually, agree with you, for once! I don't get it either, but I get Toups' (and others') point about wanting new blood in daytime. I'm looking forward to seeing her work or seeing more of her work though. I think she'll end up at CBS.

I am riding the fence on this one.

As I said in my last post, I don't like the sounds of this story at all. I will be excited when all the writers get there and start working.

The show is good now but and I am loving everything going on. The only story I am still not happy with is Steve and Kayla. I know everyone else is loving it, and there has been some okay stuff. I love some of the flashbacks, but I am ready for it to move on beyond just being a couple story.

I am not a fan of Jack & Jennifer but I am enjoying story much better because it is more than just a couple story. Steve and Kayla's story is more just a story for the fans of the couple. And I never have really been a fan of the couple. I like them and love both performers, but they are not one of my favorite couples. So right now there is just nothing to get me interested in it.

I guess they are waiting for Hogan or whomever to get things going, but until the story moves to Steve's memory and it starts affecting other people and moves beyond the couple - the story is a big bore and big miss for me.

No where did EricaKane4life say she owns a farm near the Bell mansion. I'm really not understanding your point Jane. What are you trying to say?

Oh, sorry. I was actually reacting on this...

Now that I've been called off tagging her for "Guiding Light" (because we may not be around in 6 months--PLEASE START YOUR LETTER WRITING CAMPAIGN, LIKE...YESTERDAY!!!!!), I have definite news that Bradley Bell would like to bring her to "Bold and the Beautiful".

He lives near her ranch and has a lot more goodies to offer.

So that's 3 CBS shows that have expressed serious interest in this woman. Probably moreso to undermine NBC's success ratio than to really use [!@#$%^&*], but still.

DAYS should do everything to keep [!@#$%^&*] with Hogan and Beth.

It´s from another SON thread about [!@#$%^&*].

Jane, nobody in their right mind believes that [s.W.S.N.B.N.] has the power to SAVE DAYTIME.

What people want are "good writers" who've EXPERIENCED life.

Did you get the part in the article where she told Osama she was having "lion's meat"?

DID YOU PICK UP ON THAT WIT?

Soaps depend on writers who can come up with interesting ideas, shocking twists and witty lines.

It also helps if the writer has actually EXPERIENCED some of the outrageous things they're writing about.

That is what these Producers are chasing. They aren't looking for a SAVIOR in daytime.

It's also what wins EMMYS for these shows.

There's no proof that EJ is infact the person she was speaking about. And she could have been joking with the reporter. I don't think that this is anything to get all scared for DAYS about.

I'm interesting in what she, Hogan and his people will bring to the table. Let me just say, whoever who has been writing DAYS since JER's departure needs to be given a freakin medal. Character driven, balanced storylines that is compelling me to watch every day.

I don't know if you were referring to my "scared" comment but I meant that in a good way. I loved Possession but I was young when it aired, and it scared the CRAP out of me!! I'm hoping this story will be truly scary and high stakes, and not like JER's Tony "Days," which were more cartoonish and hilarious.

Steve and Kayla's story is more just a story for the fans of the couple. And I never have really been a fan of the couple. I like them and love both performers, but they are not one of my favorite couples. So right now there is just nothing to get me interested in it.

I read your words but they make absolutely no sense to me.

*g*

Seriously, I adore S&K so I am fairly uncomprehensive when others don't get them, but I'll agree with you that I'm anxious for their story to get rolling as well. Still my all-time favorite scenes with them have ALWAYS been just the two of them alone. They've created some magical stuff in the past (funny, sexy, heartwrenching, the gamut). I'm just anxious to see them do it again.

I don't know if you were referring to my "scared" comment but I meant that in a good way.

Lol, I wasn't talking about your comment JSF

I don't know what to make of the article, because these type of interviews can be spun by the reporter anyway they want, taking phrases out of context etc. I think there isn't much to infer from the article - Its from the New York Post, which I remember to be very tabloidy in style (JMHO, others may disagree) - If it was from the New York Times, it would be a different story...

I think you have a point, because it does not sound like [s.W.S.N.B.N.]'s "talking". She doesn't talk the way this is written. Especially the run ons: glamor, power, money.....

???? Sounds like the N.Y. Post to me.

It's weird.

Though I wasn't asked the question, I have wondered what you meant, Erica. What wit? Is it a joke?

I'm confused why some think this doesn't "sound" like Boof. While the reporter can spin the story the ways she wishes, or inadvertently write it a certain way, she can't misquote Boof, which means those run-ons were hers.

People are misquoted all of the time. I'm sure that is what this was, an "accidential" misquote.

I have visions of Joe M. calling Corday ASAP after he heard this. But that's in my head.

This [s.W.S.N.B.N.] chick is definitely causing some buzz, which is always a good thing IMO. I am liking DAYS so much these days, but I still would like for someone else like [!@#$%^&*] to be given a chance to show off her talents and new fresh ideas. Most people on this board gripe about the same writers going from soap to soap and when a new onev finally comes along those same seem to !@#$%^&*]. Give the woman a chance and then see if you like her ideas. I agree with Keith and any others who have said this is nothing to get your undies in a wad about. I hope she stays on at DAYS!

I always figured she was writing for Stefano, not EJ or Sami. With Mascolo off contract with B&B, I see Days picking him back up.

As for Brad Bell trying to steal her, I definitely wouldn;t wish B&B on her. I can't see the major changes needed at that soap unless Brad Bell steps down.

I really don't think ONE storyline dictates the entire show. I also think you would be at ease if you read some [s.W.S.N.B.N.] novels, short stories. Her writing is very deep and character-driven. She's nothing like the fluff piece that the article portrayed.

I think the fear there is more from the gloom and doom of Matthew Ashford's pending (??) departure... And I think that is where a lot of the negativity is coming from as well.

Nothing she has said is akin to what DAYS has seen.... and what she has said sounds like good soap as long as it is written properly, which is exactly what DAYS has NOT been for the past umpteenth years.

Besides, she is NOT the HW and she openly stated she does not have a lot of pull. Also her saying what her favorites are does not mean a thing. It doesn't mean she will write for them. Marlena was listed as her favorite and she is still off the air...

Exactly what is Days then? Before JER days was campy at times, but has great character driven storylines that focused on families. During the JER era, were there some character driven storylines? Some yes, but mainly it revolved around plot, plot, plot, plot, gimmick, gimmick, stunt.

Let Hogan turn DAYS into his vision. There's no way to recapture the days of old (no pun intended). Instead of focusing on what DAYS used to be, Hogan should focus on what make DAYS so special and go from there. If you try to copy what was, you'll fail. There's nothing like the original.

As far as the [!@#$%^&*] interview, they focused less on DAYS on more on her past. I don't see why people should be "scared" b/c of what she said in the interview. I for one wouldn't mind seeing someone who's power driven and wants to take over the world. You know everyone who wants to "take over the world" isn't evil. They could just be goal oriented with a slight dark side. We shouldn't look too far into this anyway.

Exactly... Exactly...

JER tried to re-create his DAYS and failed miserably. Soaps should not try to re-create, they can create magic with something fresh.

I think many are way too quick to judge what Boof has planned. I mean, she's said herself that she may be gone when Hogan comes on in August, so who knows how far her outlines will even go? There's far too many variables for people to getting their panties is such a bunch, especially over an article that was surely spun.

ITA. But like Mike said, that is very typical of the DAYS fan community.

[!@#$%^&*] has turned this soap around and for heavens sake, she has even focused A LOT on Jack and Jennifer, MORE THAN any other HW has in the past few years. Boof has no control on whether Ashford is going to be let go or not. That will be ultimately Corday's decision. So Boof should not be blamed for that (and dare I say JER shouldn't either, unless fans feel he called Corday from the PSNS headquarters and told him to let Ashford go). Also Boof's comments on DAYS did not even sound close to a hardcore story plan and it comes across very clearly that she is not in complete control over ANYTHING.
