I have already seen Days budget being cut. I mean they have lost the most ad revenue dollars of all 8 soaps according to the report this week. So the budget has got to be cut.

And Mason if Days sticks around and other shows as well - we will see what is happening on GL on all of them.

Why do you think stars like Susan Flannery have been going to study it.

Why would Hogan want to come back? Y&R Is cream of the crop and Co-HW is no slouch and probably gets more input than HW of Days being that NBC Is always trying to interfere and Corday is always forcing his vision.

While that would be ironic and depressing to me, I don't think it's that.

I GOT IT!!

NBC cut DAYS budget so bad that they are going the route of GL.

Handheld cameras, bad lighting, and extreme closeups of actors faces in which you can count the wrinkles and nosehairs.
LoL, please God, no! I couldn't handle that. We're already stuck with the Brady Pub as the show's one universal set. Slash the budget anymore and we'll be stuck with cardboard walls.

Let's take a look at what we do know:

1.) Ken Corday is a colossal idiot.

2.) Dena Higley is a talentless hack.

3.) NBC is a piece of shit.

4.) Days and Y&R are both Sony products.

After closely examining that information, I've come to one conclusion...

Ken Corday is the anti-Christ and he killed Bill Bell.

If Days ends up like GL I will...oh goodness I don't know what.

Hogan coming back, while it'd be hated immensely, wouldn't destroy Days completely beyond repair, would it? I don't think Hogan simply coming back would be the thing that would put the nail in Days coffin so quickly, yes I know he's not the best but it has to be more than that. I could be wrong of course.

And, I have heard that Hogan is egotistical(and while I did often defend him during 2007 I do think he might be), would he really come back to work for Corday since obviously they clashed on alot of things? Although then again, JER did so you just never know with Days.

Well, the Martha B hint makes me think its Deidre-- her contract is up in August. It would be ironic because of the whole Drake drama last year...and the promo for the love story which we never got. Also, Stephano would be a good vehicle to off Marlena from the screen. Can't work out how this will impact Y&R though...If it is Dee, that would mean Corday has NO loyalties...

The noon eastern makes me think high noon hanging-- which is either and or some combo of DHall, DHog, KA, PR, MBE and SN.

Noon EASTERN could be a reference to moving to the East Coast.

The irony of Sheffer coming back is also a reasonable theory.

Am I close?

The one thing that makes me think the budget is not a big part of this is because it began with the news of Higley quitting, which makes me think this has to somehow connect to that and to maybe who will replace her or something like that. That is why I think it has to be something like Days stealing Hogan or someone else from Y&R or something.

I tend to agree with you, Phoenix. I know a lot of people on the board are terrified JER might be returning (lol) but I wonder if it's Hogan. Now to me, that wouldn't be bad because I love his work. However, I know a lot of people on here don't, so to each his own I guess. :)

I have a few theories lol.

1st theory: One of the vets is being fired or being made to go to Y&R (My guess would be Deidre but who knows)

2nd theory: Days will go from a one hour show to a half hour show, to save money or whatever.

And that is about all I can come up with lol. The fact that it involes Y&R is stumping me :shrug:

My guess earlier was that Drake and Deidre had been let go, but if it's more than just major cast firings, I guess that's too simple, LoL.
I don't think this has to do with casting at all. I think it has to do with the writers and executives.

Could this involved the WGA investigation of Higley? Perhaps that's why she had to quit -- they forced her hand. Then maybe they told Corday that he'd have to pay Hogan a hefty paycheck for the way he fucked him over and Corday told the WGA to kiss his ass. So now the WGA is blacklisting Days, Sony is pissed and the show no longer has a writing team, LoL. Meanwhile, Corday's being forced to pay up for the measures he took during the writers strike and there's not enough money in the budget to cover the cost.
The ONLY thing I disagree with in that theory is the Hogan part, because he's not a full member of the WGA anymore.
perhaps he ratted them out with some inside info he may have had.

I might actually be excited for Deidre to go to Y&R. I think she'd kick ass as a bitchy rival for Nikki!

I was brushing my teeth and this thought came to mind.

I doubt this is right and definitely hope not, but what if the WGA is cracking down and making Y&R and Days both take back their WGA pre-strike writers.

That would be bad for both shows IMO as Days would get Hogan which it doesn't need with Meg Kelly restored and Y&R would get Latham back.

That would be really bad IMO.

If Deidre goes to Y&R, would she play the character she played in the first episode?

I can't believe I've finally made it to the end of this thread...anyhoodle..

I think the big news is going to be clarification of why DH quit and her beef with ES...something that will make us think less of him or something during his time at Days and Y&R. Maybe that BI comes into play here...Dena got pissed she wasn't being able to write what she wanted because ES (or some other force known as CorDoucheay) was pushing younger actors airtime on her. It doesn't sound like ES, but maybe on top of that some actors want out of all this BTS drama since the show is not the same.

After going through and reading all 41 pages, I agree with Tammy's 2nd theory that Days will go from a one hour show to a half hour show. I think DAYS would be moving to CBS to air NOON Eastern time before Y&R for 30 minutes.

I would hope not. I've seen clips and that character was a bore, LoL.

I see Deidre on Y&R as a total man-hopping slut. You know? The bitch that gets all the best outfits, the best lines... the bitch that sashays into a room and commands all eyes on her... the bitch that smiles in your face and then stabs you the moment your back is turned. I would love that! LoL It's such a departure from Marlena, and Deidre always shines when she gets to play the bitch.

The more I think about it, the more I feel feel that Sheffer has some legal obligation to Corday Productions and violated it when he joined Y&R as co head writer!!! Don't most media contracts state that you can't work for a competiter (sp) for six months to a year after leaving the company? Could be wrong but I still think it has to do with Sheffer and the writing department at DAYS!!!
