Given the poster spelled Stefano and phoenix wrong I'm pretty sure those spoilers are crap. But I guess they saw how quickly their Drake fantasy took hold so they didn't have time to proofread before flinging the next clump of poo to the wall and seeing what stuck. Although I have to say a part of me would enjoy seeing Hope keep Stefano in a cage. LOL. |

Can this really be true? About.com is pretty much reliable on rumors/spumors and spoilers. Drake Hogestyn Returns! Sources confirm that fan favorite Drake Hogestyn (ex-John Black) will be returning to DAYS in January 2008. However, he will not be playing the role of the beloved hero John Black. Instead, he will be playing the role of Russell McCallister, who unknowingly has a connection to the now deceased John Black. Russell will have a wife named Annie, who is a professor at Salem University. Annie will be Belle's professor. The two marrieds will have a teenage son named Gadge, who will befriend Will. Annie and Gadge will first air during November sweeps. The role of Annie has been narrowed down to three seasoned actresses: Jensen Buchanan (ex-Melissa, GH, ex-Vicky/Marley, AW), Shell Danielson (ex-Dominique, GH, ex-Laken, SB), and Susan Walters (ex-Diane, Y&R, ex-Christine, MP). Although this is good news to Drake Hogestyn fans, it's bad news for John Black fans. Trust me, I'm as sad and outraged over Drake's recent firing and John Black's demise as anyone else. I've loved the character and actor since day one. However, it should prove to be rather interesting to see Marlena's reaction upon seeing her dead husband's "ghost." http://daysofourlives.about.com/ |

The actual article has "Drake Hogestyn Returns?" with a question mark at the end, rather than an exclamation point, LoL. It also says "sources claim" rather than "sources confirm." I'm not buying this at all. If this Annie woman was supposed to start airing during November Sweeps, she would be taping already (or in the next few days) and we would've see the headline, "Jensen Buchanan/Susan Walters joins DAYS! someplace. None of which has happened. |

Kenny, I know how it looks. I'm putting it out because about.com is a fairly reliable source for Days spoilers. This looks like a column more than a message board section where anyone can post anything. The writer of this article is Gwen Morett who is About.com's reporter for Days. That is what has me shaking my head and wondering what's going on. I'm just putting it out there. |

Yeah the ABOUT.COM article had me scratching my head. At first this just looked like a rumor, but now I am on the fence. After all I did not know Drake was REALLY out and JOHN was really dead until SOD told us, so perhapd this is a sl that Ed Scott is keeping hidden. Perhaps Drake fans made a point and got their guy back on the show. DAYS is so much more secretive now that ED is on board....it all just makes you go hmmmm? :shrug: |

I got an email from the Salem Gazette confirming this storyline. They said Drake will be back in February. FYI |

I would sure hope so! Aren't head writers supposed to be at least 6 months-1 year ahead in writing? |

They probably have plans, I am unsure, but all I know is that soaps aren't too far ahead anymore. I am not sure about Days but the only soap I have heard that should be really ahead is Passions. Hell, GH only has two weeks of November written! But I don't know. |

Well with the rumors of the writer's strike going on, all of the daytime writers are probably gearing up so that they can have everything out there in case they do go on strike, production can continue. |

No. I highly doubt they have any "set side sources" to confirm anything. They probably read the about.com article and assume that is true. I said the same thing about this Annie character and how she is already supposed to be airing in November. I think DAYS is approx 3 weeks ahead in shooting so they have to have at least half of November filmed by now. The three actress they mention all are known in the daytime community and we would of heard by now. |

It could be interesting. We get new characters who most likely will become headliners and a new teen. I'm open, if it happens. Won't be disappointed if it doesn't. I'm pretty sure (in my heart) that Drake will be back as a new character whether this one or another, after the first of the year. Frankly, I am loving having Marlena be the center of her own individuality again. To me, the couple J&M did not become the best of what either actor had to offer. |

I agree. Both of them brought eachother down, and were boring and dull together. Individually, they are phenomenal. Although, for years its mostly been John AND Marlena, so I just can't imagine Marlena carrying on as an individual on her own. |

;) I don't believe it for a second, since I read in Soap Opera Digest Magazine in an interview that they did with Drake that things were done. He had just been in the works of finalizing things with new theatrical representation and had some things on the go. So no, I don't believe it. And if they did try to pull something like this it would be a huge mistake and not pay off at all. :thumbsdown: |
