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. We've had 1,919 people join this year. We've had 1,820 people join since February. We've had 632 people join since July 19th.
We average about 1,600 a year, but 2016 was less than half that. Every other year except for our first year (which actually started in October) we've had 1,000+. Our highest years were 2009, 2010, and 2011. If we stay on the track we're on 2017 will be 3rd highest.

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. Tomlin was executive producer in 2008-11, not writer.
Brady living in Victor's house is something that both Dena and TomSell seemed to like. He moved in there every time Dena was head writer, going all the way back to 2003.

If we stay on the track we're on 2017 will be 3rd highest. It was June of 2007 when DR first started. Hard to believe it's been almost 10 1/2 years already!

Don't feel intimidated if you disagree with the majority, disagreements don't turn into petty fights here. :)

There's a long interview of Chandler in Voldemort.
He has a lot of nice things to say about his castmates and appreciation for the fans, I will not go into details.
He says that he wasn't playing Will in Lucas' visions and Sonny's dream but how they remember him (pure for Lucas, loving for Sonny) and that it's not who Will is going to be when he comes back.
He likes the character of Paul and loves working with Christopher.
He says the story Ron has created is incredible.
He was sorry he didn't get to work with Arianne before she left.
He is in the dressing room next to Marci who is in his old dressing room.
I think those were the most interesting parts. Hopefully the fully interview will show up on twitter for those who want to read it. If it doesn't, you can PM me.

While some of what you suggest sort of lines up with some items in my own theory (especially in terms of story with Brady), I think it's a bit unfair to speculate that SR "probably demanded" things in regards to story. She was literally backburner-ed for decades and she was finally getting some story. I don't see her suddenly demanding anything...other than a mutual demand from both her and DH to never speak to each other in a scene again lol.

IDK since that egg baby shit was her idea and we ended up being stuck watching that.

I think Suzanne Rogers is grateful just to have a job and knows she isn't in a position to make demands because she could so easily lose her job just as she had when Maggie was murdered by the Salem Stalker. Suzanne seemed happy and content just to be on contract so she would continue receiving her insurance package.

I don't think the eggbaby was Tomlin's idea because it happened while he was gone (MarDar).

The picture of Chandler is from that photoshoot 3 weeks ago, it's the same shirt. I imagine the group pictures with Freddie and Christopher will show up in the magazine later.

Also, I miss that set.
