Oddly enough, that was my first thought as well. |

He was one half of the regime responsible for OLTL's 90s heyday, with Michael Malone. They both came back in 2003 and by 2004 it was either Griffith or Malone writing solo (forget which), whoever was left, by the end of their time it sucked pretty hard core (Tico Santi...) - though did start out great.

but then went on to say they were still working out logistics and budget - if you've signed a contract that stuff is already complete. |

Uh, then Ken needs a serious reality check. There were people down on Shelle THROUGHOUT the years because: 1. Belle was aged about 12 years 2. He pushed them as the next Bo and Hope and didn't allow some viewers a change to LEARN to love them 3. Through multiple recasts, he kept pushing them 4. He sacrificed other characters on the altar of Shelle (not to mention other potential couples: Shimi, Phelle) 5. He had half of Salem PIMPING them, despite how ridiculous it was (Sure, Hope. Give your stalker son your credit card to buy a plane ticket to Germany so he can beg a WIFE sitting by her injured soldier HUSBAND to leave said injured husband in a hospital bed in Germany) 6. Barn Sex conception is right up there with Bo's magic sperm as being the most contrived attempt at keeping paternity open 7. Even the actors weren't totally sold on it, from what i gather. I'm pretty sure Jason Cook was really happy with working with Farah. IT sounded like Martha Madison liked having Belle with Philip (both Philips, if I recall). Now, I'm not saying that Shelle never had their fans. As someone on the losing side of the Shelle/Shimi wars :P , they were there. I just didn't see things the same way they did. (Huh. Imagine that!) |

Oh, I didn't realize it was that Griffith. I remember their 'Storm of Change' story on OLTL back in 2002 or 2003. That was awesome! You're right when you say that it went downhill quickly though. |

I hope the actors have their audition DVDs or whatever they use ready. Portfolios? I'm dumb about this stuff. What DO actors use when they're getting ready to run the audition circuit? At least Allison Sweeney and Blake Berris have fall-back jobs. I honestly think, if this is true, this could be the last excuse NBC needs to pull the plug and give us a final execution date. |

Griffith isn't really a hack. However, when he's bad...he's really bad IMO. But he would be new to Days so who knows. If it's LML, that may be hard to stomach. I still think Days is renewed. I think if the strike controversy didn't hinder that, this likely won't. I still wonder if Dena heard that NBC or someone wanted her out and quit to save face and to end all the frustration. |

I loved the Storm of Change, I loved the whole Mitch Lawrence storyline. And I loved the characters be brought back like River, Dorian and David, and the shift in focus to Llanview University. And if any other writer had come in, I dont think we'd have Marcie on OLTL today, he really fleshed her out from Jen's fat lapdog into being a dynamic character. But that Michael/Al bodyswitching thing, and the intro to the Santis ...... awful! Edited by Drew, Jul 27 2008, 12:49 PM.

Calling this the soap news story of the year, it has to be big. It can't just be that Higley quit and was replaced with another hack, because that happens all the time. This sounds like something more sinister and serious. |

Why not just post it from the start? Why tease us? Sometimes I want them to cancel Days so it can end with at least some dignity. |
