NBC Blind Item; anybody know who it could be?

I will guess Shelly Hennig.

Melvin was in the 2005 horror movie 'Boo' and did some guest stints on Primetime before DAYS

Kristen Renton did 2 films and and guest starred on CSI, The Andy Dick Show, The OC and more before DAYS

Shelley Hennig only had a walk on role on Passions that she won for being Miss Teen USA


IMO Nadia is too healthy to be a cokehead.

I like her but I still think it's Shelley. I could see it being Renton too but I just don't think she's reached a major point yet on the show like Shelley has and Shelley seems a bit distant and out of it. Some can call that a "diva-tude" but I don't know. Seems like more to me.

Glad I missed Terry's return. Hopefully, he doesn't make more visits :laugh: .

I would guess either Kristen Renton or Shelley Hennig. They are the two that haven't done much else (I don't think Shelley has done any other acting) and just came out of the woodwork; as it says.
Call me naive but I really donīt think itīs either of them. A lot of people were suggesting Morgan/Phillip romance months before the show actually decided to go that way. She got the contract yes, but a contract for a newbies means nothing. The poor actress who won the soapnet reality show last year got a contract too, yet was booted the moment Sheffer got his walking papers. The same can still happen with Morgan. Itīs cheaper for the show to give the newbies a contract than pay them as dayplayer. I admit I like Morgan so I might not be objective, but I would say Kristen really fought hard to get where she is now. And Phorgan isnīt something pushed up on us from above (like the Chelsea/Dan pairing is), just contrary, a lot of people dreading another round of Phloe vs. Nicol and still angry Phelle was nixed liked the idea of something new and fresh for Phillp and it seems it took months and serious amount of rewrites till the pairing was finally greenlighted.

As for Shelley, I think people can argue she was personally handpicked by Corday last year who apparently just loved the idea of having exMiss teen USA on the show, but other than that she has exactly the same amount of airtime any teen deemed to be the next generation of DAYS would be getting. She had one major story, so far, and she is about to enter her next one, during summer, when airitime for teens always increases. Is there any reason why she would have to sleep with anyone for that? Oh, and she looks healthy. Too healthy to be a coke abuser.

Theoretically, I think Rachel is the one who fits most, but only because the whole Dansie story came so out of the blue and the writers for some reason decided to isolate her from the rest of the college gang. We also know from Corday himself originally she and Shelley were the interns in the now flopped Tony/Anna ad agencies war story, but suddenly TPTB decided to change it for Stephanie/Morgan and give Rachel more meaty stories with Boīs sickness and Dan arrival. So I quess people can wonder what initiated the change.

I forgot about RM supposed to be in that intern story. I presumed they switched it out simply because they needed to put KR somewhere and chose to try to use RM's great crying skills to work in the pancreas story.

And maybe, maybe, it's why Chan were setup so improperly. It was rushed and Dena wasn't given time to prepare for it? That's what happens when a producer pushes his agenda and monkeys around with stories. God, did I just stick up for DH? It may also explain while other characters are being screen tested left and right, Chan are still stuck in this hellhole for us to watch but whenever she could, she would write in Dan opposite another woman to see how it worked like Lexie and Kate. God, I'd take Dexie over Chan anyday. Hate it for Abe, but it's not like I care about the couple at all and sometimes you do what you got to do.

Still though, I just think KR fits it more than RM at least from the "out of the woodwork". SH could be it, but I believe she looks just as healthy as ND and hard to imagine she's doing that much coke.

You could be right, but I always felt it happened otherwise. First, they decided to give Rachel that big story and next they put Morgan on her place in the interns story. I also donīt think KR is anyway favorited by Corday, he didnīt even mention her in the preview and her airtime is still very limited. Certainly not something she could brag about as the article says, both SH and RM have much more airtime and secure place on the show.

Jane makes some great points.

Chelsea's had big story but outside of the Zack story, she really hasn't been a part of a heavily publicized story. In the last few months, she's been in two. First, Bo's illness and now this story with Daniel. Makes you wonder. Maybe all this played a role in her supposed falling out with Blake Berris. I love Rachel and would hate this if it were true but it does make sense. I just think the fact that this mentions "coming out of the woodwork" kind of goes against it being Rachel though.

This shit is more interesting then the show LOL but then again backstage stuff always tends to be.

Yea, the more I think about it, the more sense it is making too, especially with the falling out. Initially I thought it due to them possibly dating and breaking up as young couples can do (though that may still be true). But whether they were romantic or not, I do not see Blake into drugs and would probably have issue if RM was addicted and it was affecting her stories which of course, by association would affect his.

ETA: OTOH, I think we need to look at this from what producer. IMO, KC and ES are too big of names to not be featured more prominently in the BI. In fact, the BI would be about them "What exec producer on an NBC soap is having his needs met privately with a relatively unknown actress who now has more screentime and..." If it's that Noah guy, would have have the power to really push any of these actresses, talented or not, if it's true people really hate her?

its absolutely something for KR to brag about. The girl came on this show as an extra and has steadily seen her airtime increase. She's suddenly had family introduced, she's was an obsticle for Stax and now is getting Philip as a love interest.

This poster says the actor they are talking about has been in at least 100 eppies. That rules out KR.

On IMDB it says KR has been in 45 episodes and Shelley Hennig 145. 214 for RM.

Maybe it's a Passions actress? Wouldn't it still be considered an NBC soap since they produced it until the end? Amy Castle or Erin Cardillo maybe?

Of course the show is no longer in production but maybe the blind item was a couple months old?

IMDb is most of the times wrong when it comes to soap.

I think Amy Castle is only 17 or 18 years old, so I would hope it's not her, LoL.

You guys, we can just sit back and wait for Terry to report back in. By now, no doubt, he's asked each of them if they are a drug user as well as screwing a producer on set, and since they've been so honest with him up until now, I'm sure we'll find out who the BI girl is very soon.

Oh, for the old days. If Blake and Rachel had a falling out and I was head writer I'd have kept them together and said the hell with it.

It's common knowledge Peter and Kristian detested each other in the first couple years they were on screen. Yet you wouldn't have known it from seeing the material they had.

exaggeration? Like most blind items tend to be?

Rachel Melvin has been a major player since 2005.

I am not sure who it is but my guess is AZ or KR especially since I just read Josh Duhon will go to DOOL as Morgan's brother.

The whole brother thing was probably more bullshit started by Terry. :hmmph:

After all... tomorrow is another day!

Dammit. After reading this blind item all I could think about during Friday's show was trying to decide whether I thought Rachel had cokehead eyes or not during her scene. And now after looking at that link I'm wracking my brain trying to figure this out:

Quote:
 

#3 - This one involves two guys, both from the same ABC soap. Our first one is older, and been married before. The woman he was married to has been known to be very sympathetic to guys with alternative lifestyles. Hope his current girlfriend feels the same way because he and this other much younger actor on the show have been caught so many times making out that they don't even hide it anymore.
