Didn't Ed Scott give an interview recently in which he actually praised Dena's writing? LoL Er... "praised?"
Yeah, but you could tell he wasn't particularly enthusiastic just based on his wording.
soap press interviews, especially ones about storylines, are basically full page ads for the show. Scott's not going to openly say "My show sucks ass"

As much as old timers in The Cincy Soap Hood STILL DEBATE whether or not soaps should have ever gone to the hour long format, I have to agree with Mason. Any hour long soap that gets cut back to 1/2 hour is totally screwed!!!!

DAYS would be royally fucked over if it was reduced to half-hour.
Hence, the comment about Days never recovering and how daytime would never be the same again.
It would really be like getting tackled on the one yard line. That is like one definitive step towards cancellation.

I dont see how a runtime cut could come out of a head writer quitting

^Neither do I. Unless Days will get cut down to a half hour and work with a team of writers and know solid HW, sort of like GL having all those teams of writers in charge.

Well, there have been all kinds of speculations made on this thread. Some have been far-fetched and some not-so-far-fetched....I wouldn't rule out anything.

God, I love these long Days threads :laugh: .

It's been so long since we've had one. We need to get this up to 50 pages before the news breaks so that way we can reach 100 with this. This thread has a chance at breaking a record and surpassing many other memorable Days threads. :laugh: .

Let's not forget Nelson mentioned something to the effect of a "scandal" last year which could have been a nod to the whole Hogan getting fired and Higley scabbing all along debacle.

^Yeah but that wasn't last year. It was earlier this year, although that's just being nitpicky on my part LOL.

On another note but still on topic for this thread:
Any one think that the ATWT actor that's been fired could be Austin Peck?

Sharongate, bitches!

Hogan's contract with DAYS is up this month or in August I believe. He signed a one year extension last year, so I doubt they could get him back to DAYS and they certainly wouldn't do it for one single month.

As I said before, this likely has NOTHING to do with writing/producing regime changes or actors leaving. That's way too simplistic, this seems more complex and involves a great deal of people who aren't strictly writers, actors, and producers.

Well, the writers were on strike. The news broke around the end of January I think so that puts it in this year, although Higley's hiring as co-HW was announced in October of last year so maybe that fits here.
