This actress on an NBC soap kind of came out of the woodwork and rocketed up the ladder on this soap. She keeps getting more and more lines and lets everyone know it. She has no friends on the set except for the producers she sleeps with and she doesn't share the coke she vacuums up like a Hoover. Blind Items They guessed it was Rachel Melvin. Their blind items are pretty accurate. |

I doubt it's Rachel Melvin. It's not like she just all of a sudden "came out of the woodwork." She's been on Days for quite a while now and has had really big stories in the past... so I'm doubting its her. It's funny that the blind item says "on an NBC soap," though. There's only one, folks! Why not just say Days? LoL Anyway, the first name that came to mind with me was Kristen Renton. If not her, probably Shelley Hennig. |

Hmm, I'm not sure about Rachel Melvin. She's always had a lot of lines ever since she joined the show. Who has recently seen a boost in air time? Stephanie? Morgan? |

Chloe? Morgan? Did Rachel do a blog a few months ago where she and Shelly and Kristen went to the spa together? Ava? I really don't like to think of any of my girls on the NBC soap as acting like this... |

As much as I like her, I want to say Shelley Hennig. She seemed really moody at some of the Emmy festivities and, even though she had alot of airtime last year, she really has come on strong and is getting more material. Renton really hasn't gotten all that much yet so I will say Shelley. I don't see it being Rachel because Chelsea bas been frontburner for pretty much all of her run.

Why not Chloe? I can see Nadia lapping up all those drugs with impossibly gorgeous (and awkwardly posed) Brandon. |

^That's true. She did get sort of high off those anti-nausea pills they used during the plane crash scenes. However, Nadia never had to work her way up the ladder. Chloe was a major character right from her debut so that wouldn't fit here. |

I was thinking Chloe too. I thought maybe the working up the ladder could refer to this time she is on the show. I remember when it came out she was returning, it wasn't like there were tons of us going "I am so glad Chloe isn't coming back." She didn't have really much of a story of her own since being back until now. She was really just a bit player in the whole Shawn/Belle/Philip triangle. There was the whole where is Brady, but even that was more just to give her a reason to work for Philip in breaking up Shawn/Belle. But the last couple of months it seems like she is getting in the middle of more stories. But it could also be Stephanie as well. |

I don't believe it is Rachel, Kristin, or Shelley. Watch the video from the Emmys and see how Kristin, Darin, and Rachel interact with each other. It's pretty obvious they are all good friends. IMO Shelley is the one holding the camera. Notice that Darin starts to say, "Sh", then stops and says "stop videotaping" instead. I also went back to Rachel's blog and found this comment about Amy Winehouse: "Also, I just bought Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" CD. And while I definitely don't condone her... eh hem... lifestyle.... she is really a talented girl. I know it's hard to get past where your money is ultimately going if you buy her CD, but you should get past it anyway." If this is true, I would guess it is Nadia. |

As I read it I thought this was about the girl who plays Morgan...from what I have heard/ and seen in pics...I have wondered if she was an outsider. Many ppl do not get why Morgan is still around. |

^She's still around because people took to the character last Fall and Days wisely kept her, finally realizing the show needed new blood and characters not connected to anyone else in Salem. The only reason why I don't think this is Renton is because she's hardly dominating airtime. Thew most we've seen her is three times a week and she really hasn't become a major player yet. They seem to be setting the stage for that but it hasn't happened yet. Shelley has become that and she's only been with the show a year. I can't even say it's Nadia because Nadia's been a major player since she debuted in 1999. It makes me laugh when people say it can't be Rachel, Shelley, or Kristen because of things they say in public or in their blog or because of how they behave together or whatever. People put up fronts all the time and what is being discussed here is not something you want known so of course whoever it is will cover it up and put on an act. This doesn't really make a difference though. I'm sure shit like this behind the scenes happens all the time. It's just that we don't know about it most of the time and it probably won't affect a thing because pissing whatever girl it is off may result in even more trouble for the producers they are involved with and so on. |

See when I read the blind item, I just read there is an increase in screentime, not dominating screentime so it makes me believe it's KR too. Simply because if this was posted recently, she is the NEWEST person compared to SH and RM and was originally meant to be on for just 3 months or so. That sounds like "coming out of the woodwork" to me. Now that she is picked up, she's gotten significant more screentime (compared to what she had, not necessary dominating like RM or SH) and been given a more substantial role than characters who have been around a little longer (like Nick). She's had a character brought in to play her father and she's gotten a huge chance for a major coupling opposite JKJ. She's also been given a chance to work opposite Drake and and a little with PR and KA. Now RM looks more like a drug addict simply because she is so thin, but I just have a hard time seeing her otherwise. I know other actors always say nice things about their costars but one production guy said on NBC.com that he and his wife just wished they could adopt Rachel and that seems way beyond the whole "say nice things about RM or else!" routine. Also, reading her personal blog, she just sounds like she's got her act together as far as getting a new apartment, new furniture, new roommate. I know this doesn't necessarily mean she can't have a drug problem but it just seems to fit KR way more than RM who has been on the show for years now and has always had storylines that revolve around her character.

I originally guessed RM but honestly that had more to do with her weight than anything else. Upon reflection, I think it's more likely KR, for the reasons Tripp stated. She's been strictly a minor player up until very recently and now she's getting a romance with JKJ. I can't see it being Shelly Hennig at all. Not only because she looks so healthy, but because she's always had about the same amount of screentime as far as I can tell. Both Stephanie and Chelsea, unlike Morgan, are legacy characters with ties to the major Salem familes. Stephanie and Chelsea both had a lot of airtime last summer with the TTS debacle, as I like to call it, and were featured plenty long before Morgan came along. Morgan was featured some in the Ford storyline and had a blink-and-you-missed-it romance with Max, but otherwise she's been a minor supporting character, with no storyline on her own. Even her Max romance was really just to make Stephanie jealous and get Stax together. And now her character is competing, successfully, with Chloe for Philip, who is a major player. RM and SH didn't need to do anything to get more lines and more airtime, being the legacy characters they are. . . but maybe KR did. Who knows if these things are even true, and I'm puritanical enogh to hope they aren't, but if true this could help explain why Morgan has suddenly been put out front with Philip (full disclosure: I loathe Phorgan) when to my eye the more sensible pairing, and the one with more chemistry, would be her and Nick. |

Well, I asked a guy who has "friends" on the inside...He believes its Rachel melvin. He said that no one likes Rachel. And what you hear in interviews and video is just a front...DOOL wants to try and recreate the teen scene like Shelle/Mimi/Chloe/Phillip. I don't want to believe it either, but you never know. |

I hope it's not Tamara or Arianne or Rachel. I don't really care if it's Nadia or Shelley or Kristen. My first thought was Kristen, but then again Nicole and Ava have kind of come out of nowhere to get big stories too of late. |

Tripp, you make some good points. I can see what you mean. Whatever the case, I doubt it will make a difference unless it gets confirmed who it is in the press and then it could turn into something bigger but I doubt it will happen. I don't think it's Arianne either. She hasn't come out of nowhere. She was popular during her last run. Same goes for Nadia. Edited by PhoenixRising05, Jun 27 2008, 11:32 AM.

Well if that were the case and she was having sex with the producers maybe that would explain why the show put her with Daniel and didn't think it worth addressing the huge age difference between her and SC for months? |

Agreed. I don't see it being Tamara either because she had a big storyline from the moment she was brought on (not a great storyline, mind you, but she's had a consistent amount of exposure). I really feel we were meant to think of the younger set, i.e. the college girls, with this item. Edited by Paxton, Jun 27 2008, 11:38 AM.

I don't think it's Tamara or Arianne, because both of them just came on. It's not like they both sat around on the backburner for months and then suddenly got this boost of airtime, as the blind item seems to suggest happened. Plus, I can't see Arianne sleeping with the producers, considering that she's married to Kyle Lowder. They are still married, aren't they? As for Tamara, she's hardly been around long enough to even KNOW the producers, much less fuck them, LoL. Edited by Kenny, Jun 27 2008, 11:51 AM.
