With everything that is going on there ["Days"] with the politics and the writing, they don’t commit to a story. You can see it with all the characters that come and go. They’ll get something started, but especially when there are writing changes, it just takes a whole different direction. Thanks for summarizing the problem with every plot on this entire show for at least the past five years, DC. Also, love your avi Supergirl. Although those chairs in the background are clearly not bringing joy to anyone. :blulaugh: |

Looks like so and he working with his kids on the east coast, rather than flying back and forth to California. |

Whoa....I see it. I was wondering why did Days brought him back to be trash again. Hopefully with a new head writer in the future, they can bring him back again! |

Thanks! :) I had to cut out the chairs part of the promo, cause it looked awkward without sound & i didn't have the time to put subtitles on the GIF when I was making it. I'm still laughing at Emily in jeans & a t-shirt! |

I love the part where he calls TPTB out on killing both Aiden & Bo so as to clear the way for Rafe. But the part that made my abs hurt from laughing so hard: "I think that if Dena had kept me around a month longer you would have seen me stomping on kittens, kicking puppies, and carving Aiden loves Hope into the belly of a baby seal." :roflol: I did appreciate his ad-lib of "I don't even know who I am any more." because it made complete sense, as the incarnation of Aiden in the prior moments was nothing like the Aiden that had originally come to Salem. And I liked that Aiden played those last scenes with the recording as though Aiden didn't know that Andre had a copy of the recording, because he felt that that was the truest way for those final moments to be played given the revelation that had just occurred. (& Daniel's instinct was correct on that front.) |

From his interview, it sounds like the story that was proposed to him to get him to return wasn't anything like what ended up playing out on screen. He comes across as sounding surprised that things went in the direction they did (& also disappointed at having been stuck in the Rope bubble of suck & not being able to grow Aiden's character through interactions with others in Salem). |

Great read! Finally, someone who isn't afraid to open up about what he really thinks and feels. |

I don't think he's the only one that's figured out Dena or TPTB, but it is really nice to hear someone not hold back, especially when it was really obvious what was being done to their character & the reason it was being done. |

:applause: I'm glad he threw the writers under the bus in this interview, especially Dena. Interesting that he said that "the final couple of weeks, the morale was pretty low there." I imagine that means a lot of actors were unhappy at that time. It seems to fit with the interviews at the Emmys. I hope the writing and the morale got better after he left. I guess we'll see how the actors are at Day of Days. |

Well he sounds like he didn't like the story he was given. He would have written his original entrance differently, Bo would have been dead etc. Wow, funny if anyone else gave the same type of interview - they would be called arrogant, smug. |

I feel sorry for Daniel Cosgrove. Doesn't sound like the role that he would be playing, was explained to him very well when he returned, or perhaps it changed. They made me hate his character. I detested seeing him on screen following Hope around like a puppy dog. He could have been put in a different story line and still interacted with Hope. At least made us like his character for a bit. On a positive note at least he had a job I guess. |

oh, i'm sure he'll be called arrogant & smug at some point (& somewhere). I think the reason he hasn't been thus far has been because he's called Dena out on her "what i want to do" plan & the fact that there's no real resolution to stories. And these are things that we, as viewers, have noticed & called the show out on. In addition, he called a spade a spade when it came to giving both Aiden & Bo not-likely-to-ever-return exits to "clear the path" for Rafe. It's like TPTB feared that if one/both of Aiden/Bo were in Salem, fans would never really root for Rope, so the only way to try to force viewers to back the pairing was to kill off any of Hope's past love interests. (Technically, Patrick is still alive & in prison, but I can't see Dena wanting to bring him back.) I don't blame him for wishing his character's entire story was written differently, especially with the fact that he enjoyed playing darker (& annoying Rafe). There really wasn't anything wrong with how Aiden was originally written, though I do agree that adding a bit of a greyer area when using Aiden as a lawyer would've helped make his character more interesting to a larger mass of viewers. If the show had wanted him to be the more "evil" character he was being written as at the start of his second run from the beginning, then his "how I would've written things" ideas would've made sense. |

I like DC & I am so glad he has a new gig but I don't feel too sorry for him . He trusted Days & Corday twice . As they say fool me once shame on you , fool me twice shame on you. Lots of Days actors have been screwed over & lied to by TPTB The revolving door of Writers & EP's don't help either but It all comes down to Corday he is the constant.

Well it appears not only did he not like both of his exits but he was unhappy at how he was introduced ie Bo should have been dead. He did not like being in the bubble - he sounds just basically unhappy with how his story went from the get go. |

"The second time I came back, the final couple weeks, the morale was pretty low there." Yep and you can almost feel it in the actors' performances... If you compare last year at this time, the actors seemed so much more enthusiastic about their storylines. |

Dena's just a bad writer, period. No one wanted her back to begin with! She cannot construct a story with a strong beginning, middle, and ending. She plays favorites. She assassinates heroes and heroines to fit her writing agenda. Her writing has a sexist edge. She hires a bunch of newbies no one cares about. She's obsessed with "the mob" and dark stories. WHY was she hired a third time? She needs to go. |
