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... 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.

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.

Those are terrible ideas I won't watch junk like that on a fictional show its too stupid not to mention disturbing especially since she based a character on OBL who isn't exactly on my good side since I am married to a man in the army who just so happens to be overseas in a lot of danger. its bad enough I have to deal with that everyday. I escape it with my soap when I watch it[i haven't since 6/5]because its a fictional show I don't want this stuff contaminating my soap. Besides didn't they fire her because of controversay?

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.

What a great post. I can't understand why people are discrediting this lady and we've yet to see any of her writing as yet.

I guess everyone wants Reilly back, then.

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.

Exactly! I just don't get it.

I don't understand some of these people either. I can't wait to see what she has to offer.

So I bought the Post, first time in over a year. They gave it Page 3 (so as soon as you open the newspaper, there you go), put the big ole EXCLUSIVE stamp it and they put Bo and Hope's picture in it, except they photoshopped Osama's head over Bo's, heh. Also a huge full body shot of Kola, they're captioned:

FACT OR FAKE? Thanks to "Days of Our Lives" writer Kola Boof, who claims she was kept a sex slave by Osama bin Laden in 1996, a character based on the world's most evil man may soon pair with "DAYS" star Kristian Alfonso.

Wow, I take it that means Patrick!!!! Lol, I just had to give my speculation.

Does that mean that Patrick would be the evil guy?

Does the actor who plays him have enough range for that?

I don't think Brody has enough range to show Patrick taking a crap, but that's my opinion

Seriously, I love Brody.

When I just glossed over it this afternoon I thought they simply meant psuedo-Osama would be working on the show with Kristian Alfonso among everybody else on the show...but it does sound like they're saying uhm...then again...uh yeah whatever, lol!

Well, "pair with" definitely sounds like they'll be playing opposite each other.

If that's the case I hope the new writers grow Bo's brain back before he has to go up against an evil genius. As he's currently written, I don't think he could outwit Pinky, much less the Brain.

The Post is known to take dramatic license with the facts. I'm still more apt to believe it's Sami/E.J.!

For the question about her wit in replying to Osama that she was eating "lion's meat". In the muslim world eating lions and other fanged creatures is a sin. ie, she was insulting him.

Muslims use two terms to describe food - halal and haram. Halal is an Arabic word, which means lawful or allowed, but it is sometimes translated as acceptable or not forbidden. Haram means the opposite - unlawful or prohibited. Halal foods are foods that are permitted for consumption under Islamic law. It is sinful for a Muslim to consume haram foods.

Haram foods include pig, dog, donkey, and animals having fangs, such as monkeys, cats and lions. It also includes amphibians such as frogs, crocodiles and turtles. Alcohol, harmful substances, poisonous and intoxicating plants or drinks are also haram.

I'd take another look at the post headline too...... Fact or Fake........ what if it's all fake?

Wow. The Post went totally trashy I see.

Sad.

Oooh. Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

I hope it isnt Patrick. I don't think he has the acting chops to be the shows next lead villain.

Who keeps the [!@#$%^&*] of the man who raped and traumatized them? Is this woman Bianca Montgomery? Does--does she have her rape baby at her feet, is she spouting about her "future"?

Seriously, why the hell does she still have the homes he gave her?
