I'd hate for Billy Warlock to be canned within in a year of returning, but ... sigh ... I think the smart move at this point would be for Jen and Frankie to leave together. It would suck BIG TIME, but ... it would cut costs a little. I'm sure Billy Warlock ain't all that cheap. Although a part of me wants him to stay because he's getting treated so much better than GH ever treated him.

Jack and Billie is something I've ALWAYS wanted. Moreso with Rinna and Ashford, but I think Pinson and Ashford could really heat things up together. I'm all for that.

And if [!@#$%^&*] manages to bring Mickey back, and use Maggie, Celeste, Doug and Julie more, I'll love her even more than I do at this point.

She's the best damn find in YEARS. I am so excited. I almost wish SHE were becoming head-writer. If she sticks with DAYS, I cannot wait to see what Hogan, Beth and [!@#$%^&*] come up with. Corday better not [!@#$%^&*] this up.

Actually, rumor has it that Warlock wants out of his contract at Days. So, writing them off together wouldn't shock me.

I am sure that there would be some J&J fans who would be horrified at Jennifer choosing Frankie (me among them to be fair) but I would be willing to see that happen to keep Matt's Jack on my screen.

I share your fear and also really hope you're wrong.

Steve needs Jack. And Days needs Matt.

I think the fans would absolutely accept him with another heroine.

I really like Jack, am a J/J fan, but I would LOVE to see Jack with anonther heroine. Heck, heroines!

Geez, I've watched days since I was a little girl, back in the late 70s, early 80s (my grandmother was a HUGE fan), and I usually liked the different couples back then, no matter who was paired with who. Even if I LOVED say, Bo and Hope, I accepted Bo with Carly when Hope left the show (it's easy to accept the interruption of a supercouple when one of the actors leaves the show willingly). Same with RoJohn and Marlena, love them but accepted and liked Isabella's relationship with RoJohn when Marlena left for a while.

So, yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing Jack with someone else. I like the character (the original 80s/early 90s version, thank you) so much and the actor is so great that I'd rather see him the show whether or not he's part of a "supercouple". I think he's just as fun as interesting interacting with Steve and Frankie and Abby and he is with Jennifer. I really wish ALL of the characters would interact more with each other rather than just their romantic partner. I like watching Kayla with her familly, and I'd love to see more of Steve with Bo, and Abe and Roman...explore the friendships too, writers, please!

The idea of Billie and Jack is interesting. Even more so, IMO, is the idea of Jack with Sami, even if it's a temporary basis. I really want Sami to grow up and somewhat redeem herself (I want her to keep an edge to herself, too), and I think Jack would be a great character to help her do just that. He's been through the same thing himself, and if anyone can accept someone flaws and all, it's him. I thought they had great chemistry together a few years back during that stupid hote/B&B little story line, and I'd love to see more of that on my tv.

I so agree with you. Jack/Sami have absolutely amazing chemistry!

Word, word, word. Yes please!

Word, word, word. Yes please!

Ditto that!

This is great! I hope DAYS continues to give her a chance. It was clear that POST article was crazy and her latest interview has proven that innovation is needed in DAYS and it is something she can offer. I hope she keeps up the good work and has an opportunity to do so.

Sadly if DAYS drops her at least we know she will be in the soap circle which means there is a chance she can return.

Otherwise her group of favorites practically echo ours. I know Fath is snobbish based on what many fans have said and Mimi is written as such a twit but they are part of the show and if they must be written for then so be it.

Here's an idea for Brian Frons: Quit sulking in the corner because Boof ditched ABC, get off your ass, and look for other [!@#$%^&*] Boofs out there. There are others! I get the feeling Frons and Brad Bell and Lynn Latham and everyone is going to be fighting for this woman and completely ignore the fact that there other [!@#$%^&*] Boofs out there. Nobody got a clue after ATWT's success in hiring Hogan Sheffer though so I'm not optimistic.

I pray that [!@#$%^&*] does not think Shimi is "the couple." Shawn is OK, Mimi sucks, and together they suck even more. This is not about Shelle being together---I just don't like Shimi and I don't think they are a couple to root for, especially with Mimi still keeping secret about Claire. I would rather have Shawn gay and paired up with EJ rather than see him try to do lovey-dovey with Mimi.

But, I'm glad [!@#$%^&*] likes Jack and Matt. There is tons of story for him without Jennifer. Steve is back, and he's needed. Stack forever!

I'm not completely convinced that if [s.W.S.N.B.N.] had worked for ONE LIFE as a Head-Writer, that she would get the respect she deserved under Frons or even from Frank Valenti. The former seems to be a destructive control freak and the latter appears to be a hot, young-ish producer with (literally)a hardon for talentless actors.

Not knocking you Gabe, but whether or not [!@#$%^&*] slept with Brian Frons is certainly her business. She says she didn't and given how unattractive the man is, I have to believe her.

And even if it were true, it wouldn't the the first time. If the rumors are true, I still thank Sally Sussman-Morina for getting GENERATIONS on the air. The NAACP should be thanking her for her "sacrifice." Hehehe.

Shawn and Mimi wouldn't be so bad if the actors that portrayed them weren't cotton-mouth and glassy eyed in every scene. That would certainly go a long way in them conveying emotion.

Word on every count!

Random question: Approx. how many writers in daytime are people of color?

Of all the things [!@#$%^&*] said she'd like for DAYS, the one I'd like to see the most was the return of Doug and Julie. I would KILL to see Julie take on Kate (Kate needs a tough adversary and her beef with Sami is played out IMO). Also--could you imagine Kate going after Doug? Could you imagine Hope's reaction???

I'd love to be able to look in a crystal ball and see how DAYS is in 6 months. With the budget cut-backs, I wonder just how many people are gonna get the axe?

Daphne GH has one, I believe Michelle Val Jean is black. She wrote Liz's rape story and she apparently became head writer for a millisecond until McTavish was hired.

I pray to god that AMC has none after they decimated the Frye family, the Chin Family and the Santos family.

And I agree about the Shimi relationship, I can not stand them as a couple and I pray that they are not 'thee couple'.

Wow! I love the idea of Kate going after Doug ... and I'm wanting a quadrangle between Victor/Kate/Doug/Julie. But I can't see Doug and Julie splitting up.... and I can't see them really getting a story, either. I'd love them to ... And at the same time, I wish they'd just off Grandpa Shawn and pair Caroline with Victor. God, imagine the fireworks!

And hmm, Irish, where did you hear about Billy wanting out? I have to admit, I can't blame him, on some level. I think he might see the writing on the wall that when Missy leaves and if Jen isn't recast, he's probably going to be the token lawyer and probably wasted.

And I'm all for Jack and Sami. I really loved when Brash and Cwikly put them together during that stupid Brandon/Jen fiasco. They were the definite highlight of that story.

Casey, I am surprised that GH has a Black writer in its cast considering how marginalized the Black characters are I think Justus' death was the final straw for me.

As for AMC--LOL, I ain't even gonna go there. But I feel you

I'd love for [!@#$%^&*] to go on the Oprah show. I am absolutely fascinated with this woman. If it weren't for SON I never would have known about her.
