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?
This is a great story, my guesses:

1)Ed Scott is gone

2)Dena is out

3)Temp writers will step in until...

4)DOOL will be cancelled

5)The truth will come out that these ideas/storylines/couples were in FACT Ed Scott's & he did not allow DH to share her vision. Meanwhile Ed Scott was having an affair with a new young actress making Dena write for her when she did not want to.

6)Y&R factors into this because on the down low Ed Scott was persuading writers to move over to DOOL. These writers were ready to leave but now will have no where to go.

LOL this is all speculation on my part, did i get any of it right? :tounge:

I hope this remains Nelson's scoop I bet the Soap Mags are working overtime to try and beat him to the punch...I bet they are calling everyone and their brother to try and get the "goods'. It would be too bad if Nelson broke it and someone else beat him to the telling of the details.

Oh I know CJ, Monday is far away in the world of today....I think Nelson ought to spill the beans now...or else someone else may spill em first. Sometimes I wish PEREZ Hilton was a DOOLS fan lol :D WE'd know by now.

I doubt the soap magazines will report on the "scandalous" side of things, if there is a scandalous side. They'll probably just stick to the standard basics of stating the professional facts and leaving the rest to speculation.

That's true but Nelson is taking a big risk - details of his own scoop could get leaked beating him to the telling of his own exclusive! Risky - but if Nelson is waiting for more information to back up this scoop more power to him - it's best to get it right the first time! That would show Nelson's integrity!

I agree, unless it's Dena who comes out and reports on it. Her career is over now no matter the minute she leaves Days, now or in the future so she has nothing to lose in "spilling beans" on backstage stuff.

That said, my guess is either Ed Scott is out or Days is not being renewed by NBC. I hate either but I believe it's more likely Ed Scott because that would be Corday's decision which he could make over the weekend while NBC offing days over this news shouldn't be a rash decision.

Can you imagine what it must be like to WORK over there now? I would dread coming in tomorrow.

Ok so far the speculation ranges from affairs, firings, hirings to out right cancellation ... It can't be worse then what is being speculated!

The worst thing I could think of is that DAYS was lead to believe that they were renewed and it was not that case at all. That would suggest that the network was messing with Days and lacked the integrity to tell them that they were indeed through, not given Corday the opportunity to shop it around before the ax came down.

Whatever it is, it doesn't sound like good news (other than Higley being gone, of course). And we know it impacts two soaps (DAYS and Y&R) and I wouldn't be surprise if the impact it felt on even more soaps with time.

This is good news!

I hope its not too late. I would love to CARE about these characters once again. To feel them and WANT to watch them. These past two years the show did a good job of making sure that didn't happen. It's not even about vets and newbies anymore... I simply could care less about any of these guys which is sad considering that I grew up on DAYS and loved the show so much. I hope this show has some life in it left!

Ok, this is my few cents.

I doubt it´s anyway connected with the negotiation because NBC is not doing this kind of decision on a whim. At worse, they will slash the budget even more.

I think Dena is gone. Even if Corday tried to persuade her back I doubt it would happen on weekend and I´m pretty sure nobody outside would know it so soon.

Ed Scott could be out too, except that would make him the ultimate hero and Nelson said there are no heroes.

So, I quess there is already some new HW, someone Nelson believes is a hack. And Ed Scott is probably the one who brought him/her in and that´s why he is no longer the hero she thought.

What do you think?

Thanks for posting the montage. I wasn't even watching back when most of that aired and I still found it tremendously moving.

So much history!

Man I have never seen so many people posting on the boards on a early Sunday evening before ... Nelson's tease has everyone speculating ... so far the wildest speculation I've seen is that Corday and Higley had an affair and that Ed Scott and Ari Zucker are having an affair. Why people are speculating that is beyond me?
