Just checked in at SON to see if Toups posted something. This is what he posted:

"This is Nelson's scoop. He can have it. I'm not touching this."

This must be nasty if Toups just wants to stay away from it all together. I recall last year when John was "killed" he kept hinting that there was more to it. He's not even hinting this time. This must be something huge and ugly.
hmmmm.... Huge....ugly....Dear god I hope JER is not returning. :drunk: drive me to drink.

I've cast out a few lines myself to see if I get a nibble or two.

I forgot those same adjectives could be used to describe JER :laugh:

OBK, if you find out anything, let us know. If I get anything back that sounds even somewhat credible, I will post it .

If JER is returning (and I seriously doubt he is), then, for me, DAYS may as well be cancelled altogether. If that man ever steps foot back at DAYS again, I'll stop watching forever.

Why does this stuff have to happen on a Sunday?!? @#$%@##!@
Worst case scenario is that Dena is not gone but Ed Scott is...and that's the vibe I'm getting..
I'm wondering if the Y&R stuff has to do with Hogan. Maybe he's spilled the beans on what happened during the strike with Higley/Corday and Scott.

Toups would have been happy if it was JER. I think he would have hinted it.

What the hell is going on here? Practically the entire world knows about this but nobody's saying anything.

To quote Daniele from BB8, this is "soooo frrrussstratinnggg!" LoL

I knew Toups was being too quiet recently regarding Days. He even stopped complaining about Days and Higley and actually praised her for this Friday's cliffhanger.

I didn't think he would say anything. He never does until he can. I was just expecting a hint and he won't even do that. This has to be something nasty. It has the feel of something that one doesn't want to be affiliated with, which may be why Nelson is waiting until he can provide us with a decent report on what is going on.

Yeah, if JER was returning to Days, Toups would be over the moon I think, and would at least hint at it.

It also appears that people are hinting at the idea of a "good guy" (Ed Scott?) possibly doing something that's unsavory to his/her character. Brimike has made two comments now about how "it's going to make us think twice about people that we think have integrity."

The only person at Days that I think has integrity is Ed Scott, so my natural reaction is to assume that he's the one in question. Did he do something immoral to push Higley into quitting? Because if he did, I'll gladly cheer and petition to get him a raise.
LOL, I'm sure Nelson knows no DAYS fan would give a crap how Higley was removed. This is a woman who got the job in the most unethical circumstances imaginable.

I can think of 3 things that would be genuinely "heartbreaking" for the majority of DAYS fans.

1) Higley keeps her job at Scott's expense
2) JER returns
3) DAYS is cancelled
He mentioned it was heartbreaking for all soaps fans, not just Days fans. He also tied it to Y&R so I'm not quite sure it's only limited to the options you mentioned.
Heartbreaking to me as a fan involves either one of these two things: Days being canceled or one of the actors/actresses being involved in this mess. That's why I have a sick feeling about this.
First off I would not be surprised if Ed Scott was holding the door open for Higley to exit through so that he could bring in his pals. That wouldn't be a surprise but it might make some question his integrity.

Second of all, I have a feeling this also might involve an actor or two whom might have given an ultimatium about the show and their bluff was called. Is it a coincidence that the word 'hope' was used?

Well, to me, it would make him a hero! :laugh:

I doubt that it's a clue. I just took it as him being upset about what this could mean for soaps. That's all.

I wonder how Nelson got the scoop he must have a really good inside source who does not want it to come out till Monday! My guess is source is someone at Sony!

If I were a betting person I bet that the negotations about the Day's contract and actually money figures came down - I bet one condition was that they needed to see an improvement in the ratings and specifically in the demo's and when under Higley not only did they not see better ratings but worse ratings, it put her job in jeapordy and perhaps others' too. Budget wise if the budget is significantly lower expect many many firings cast and production wise.

What would be bad is if Ed Scott leaves. That would mean there is no hope for Days - because if Ed Scott could not fix it no one can!

The worst case Days is cancelled!

There's more to this story, something tells me there's a big scandal going on that going to make us think differently of certain people.

It has nothing to do with Ed replacing Dena with anyone, it's like an umbrella story, there's so many layers to it and it impacts a broad range of people. That's the feeling I'm getting.

Same here.

If it was merely an writer's shakeup or EP shakeup, I think some of us that have sources would've already know a bit. That and the fact that some don't even want to touch this story tells me it's something so big that know one wants to really address it, at least not until the facts are 100% correct. The last thing anyone wants to do is get in trouble for defamation of character.

You are probably right and I am grasping trying to make sense of this.

Still though if its supposed to make us question someone's integrity I could see KA going in and being upset about the role Bo and Hope play on the show and make a stink and someone decides that getting rid of her is a good way to save a million + a year.

^I can't see KA doing that. I know Dee Hall wouldn't. I can see maybe PR, Drake, SN or MBE doing it.

I don't think it will be something like that because that is something that would leak out easily and that people wouldn't shy away from reporting on. This has to be something that a tabloid would have a feel day with IMO. It can't be something too simplistic.
