I don't think the DH/SR beef had anything to do with airtime in the traditional story sense. DH always had more airtime than SR. So if DH got more airtime on her return or if SR kept getting more airtime after DH's return, I really don't see either of them acting out over it. My theory: A lot of fans, including many here at DR, were vocal in their disapproval of Maggie becoming Brady's "mother-figure" as opposed to Marlena...even after John and Marlena returned. (I also think that the negativity towards Maggie and Brady's relationship was fueled by animosity towards Maggie over the pimping of Daniel, something that Maggie still suffers from today...unfairly IMO; but I digress). What is more plausible to me is a situation where perhaps DH said to the writers "Hey, Marlena is the one who pretty much raised Brady, and he's going through all of this turmoil, so why is Maggie treated more as Brady's mother figure as opposed to Marlena? Why isn't Marlena comforting Brady?" And let's face it, that would be a valid point. Brady and Marlena would go MONTHS without scenes together. I could easily see that getting back to SR in a bad way (via a game of telephone) and her getting offended or worried that her already-limited airtime might be cut (okay so maybe it is about airtime on some level lol). The reason that makes sense to me is because it's based on something REAL: fan reaction to Maggie/Brady. Of course it could also be something personal: perhaps they had a falling out over a mutual friend that had NOTHING to do with the show at all. But if it was show-related, I think it's along the lines of what I wrote out. Edited by jdawg1077, Oct 19 2017, 10:37 AM.

Okay, watching some of the AS livestream of her watching Days yesterday and I have to say it's cute/awesome/hilarious. Even Galen chimed in on the chat. Some fun insights from Ali. |

Here's what I think is going with SR/Maggie, don't ask me to prove it because I can't, these are my conclusions after reading interviews, seeing what story Maggie was getting, stories she shouldn't even been involved in, especially with Brady. When Tomlin was the writer(2008/2009 esp) he said something like, " I was surprised to see SR/Maggie with no real story", so I guess their friendship started back then, SR asked for her character to be married to Victor, so that they could become next Tom/Alice, the show did try to make Victor a Horton, they got him dressed in a ridiculous Christmas sweater and had him read stories to kids in Salem hospital, the scene was just sad, really sad, not because reading Christmas stories, but who was reading it, it was freaking Victor bloody Kiriakis, then SR asked to have egg family, eggson, and the grand daughter(the name I'm not going to mention), Brady moved in Victor's house, became Vic/Maggie's son, all ties to Black family were cut(these all doesn't happened the same order), John and Marlena were nowhere to be seen, SR thought/wanted, probably demanded that she be the matriarch of DAYS. SR was Tomlin's favorite and he seemed to really disliked J/M. No matter how much fans disapproved of Brady being Maggie's son, writers/TPTB(whoever these people are) did nothing, this gave Maggie story, no matter how unrealistic it seemed, the show just wouldn't do anything and while SR was getting airtime, Marlena got sidelined and it dragged Brady Black with Maggie. She even started mothering Philip(that really pissed me off). SR was trying to take relationships from Marlena, taking Brady away from his mother/Marlena was kinda like small victory for her, it's a power straggle, but to me there is no doubt that Marlena/DH is the matriarch of DAYS and SR/Maggie is nowhere near her.

I don't think it has anything to do with story on Days. |

Does Daytime Royalty know how many people became members since it was announced Ron was the new DAYS writer and when his material started airing? |

Give me the exact dates, and I can check. We've had a lot of new members this year, though. It's been kind of weird. |

I think the announcement was made in February and mid-July when his material started airing, but I'm not sure about the dates. |
