OK, so I did remember hearing from Hogan's lawyer that Hogan only went Fi-Core because he was told that if he continued to work the show would not "force major" the rest of the writing team. What if they fired him anyway to free Hogan up? What if DOOL had a deal with Y&R/Sony to trade Hogan for Ed Scott? What if they hired Dena only as an interim writer to pick up the slack during the strike with full knowledge that they were going to dump her for the former Y&R writers once the dust settled? DOOL wins, Y&R wins but Dena & Hogan's names are sullied and the former DOOL writing team lost their jobs. Edited by ilovemydays, Jul 28 2008, 06:19 AM.

If this is about an actor/actress getting fired as well I don't think it would be the end of Days. That could just be some exaggerating on the part of Nelson. We all have our favorites and someone that Nelson might think is horrible to lose others might not really care. So I am sort of ignoring the whole it is the end of daytime stuff. I do still wonder if this all has to do with the removal of Hogan back with the strike. There was always something odd about it all. I wonder if the WGA made a decision and Corday/Sony were told they had to take all the writers that were fired their positions back. Hogan and his team gets to return to Days which could be the Y&R connections because they would lose him and a couple of others that were brought to him. Dena then quits because she knows Ed/Hogan are buddy-buddy and she is the odd person out. Again it could be anyone's guess. |

Poor Hogan if he's forced to return to Days. If this is really WGA-related, he should be given a choice. At this point, I'm pretty sure he'd be completely miserable if he was forced to work under Corday again, and I can't see the WGA forcing him to do it. If anything, they'd just lay a hefty fine on Corday/Sony. One that perhaps the show can't afford. |

I don't even know who Martha Byrne is. What's the story on her? |

I would think it would be a choice on Hogan's part and I don't know why you would want to return. But maybe he makes a choice to return to Days for the others on the team that were fired for simply going along with the strike and/or to stick it to Corday. ;) Wouldn't be surprised at a fine either. |

I have actually seen more Peter fans then Kristian fans. But I have notice that Bo and Hopes "organized" fanbase is not as big as J&M, J&J, S&K, Ejami. I can't remember the last time I saw a rabid B&H fan. But Bo and Hope are probably the most well liked couple by the general fans unlike those other couples with large fanbases. |

I don't see how the show can force Hogan back to DOOL. Once he went Fi-Core and was fired he was free to go anywhere so perhaps that was the plan all along; free up Hogan by getting him to go Fi-Core so DOOL could fire him outright and then Y&R and DOOL could swap him for Ed Scott. IMO what makes it so rotten is that I honestly think Hogan played along because: a) Y&R is a better deal for him and b) he thought he was saving his team from the axe. I never approved of the way DOOL fired Hogan's writing team and hired Dena. The team should have been protected by WGA/WGAE. |

Posted Image She played Lily on ATWT. She was "the face" of that show. Basically the Hope or Marlena of ATWT. I don't know about all the details, but I believe there was some sort of struggle with her contract. If I recall correctly, the show wanted to cut her pay, which she was okay with... but she still wanted to work her regular number of days and they denied it or something. I don't remember if she left or if the show fired her, but it wasn't a sweet situation. They went on to immediately recast the role... which, by the way, is virtually un-recastable. Some of those details could be wrong though, so if I made a mistake with the story, anyone feel free to correct it! LoL |

Nelson mentioning her is why I think it's Deidre leaving and going to Y&R - Deidre's contract is coming up, perhaps the negotiations did not go well and Deidre is leaving days going to Y&R and if that happens maybe her huge fan base will leave with her ... that would mean death to Days with the ratings being as low as they are and NBC would be none to happy to lose the main star of the show to another network! |

Martha Byrne plays Lily on ATWT. She was on that show for 20+ years and since she was a teen. She was also a part of a very popular couple (maybe supercouple) Lily and Holden. ATWT wanted her to take a pay cut recently during negotiations. She wanted to be guaranteed a certain amount of days for the year. The show reportedly refused and then leaked that she was leaving the show and they would be recasting the role of Lily. I don't know if they followed through with recasting or not but it was not a friendly break up. |

Looking between the two posts of Nelson's someone mentioned (on page 26 and 36), I figure the most probable thing is: Scott wanted to force Higley out to get Sheffer back, which is the ironic thing. And the depressing part is that there could've been some scandalous shit go down for him to get her to leave. Maybe he grabbed her titty, or something. I don't know. Another is that someone pointed out the hint that Nelson gave (12pm Eastern), which is 9 pacific when they start working and perhaps someone has gotten fired and will learn it tomorrow. Perhaps Scott did something (or some stuff over time [involving the autism storyline, mayhaps?]) to get Higley to walk out and Corday is firing Ed Scott, which would put him at odds with Sony (whom I think are the ones that installed him at Days) and thus the nastiness. I don't know if he's using hyperbole to sell his story or not, but if it's even half as bad as he's saying I'm sure the details in between the whats, hows, whys, whos and so forth are nastier. Perhaps it's a scandal that could effect the show and that's what he meant by saying that Days would never recover. Everyone speculating the firing of an actor or actors, a shortened time thing, etc. I don't think they're on the target at all. I think it has to do with Higley, the producers, writers, Corday and Sony. I don't think anyone on the actual cast is a part of this, but I could be mistaken.

I think because it has been a while since there has been anyone trying to come between their couple. I have seen some posts that come from their fans that I thought was a little extreme. Like wanting Zack to come back alive and was piss because Chelsea had a main storyline and not Ciara. |

I think Branco's only error here is talking about what a big deal it all is. I think it is a big deal, but what the fans see as a big deal, and people on the business end of daytime see as a big deal, are two different things. Anyone looking for actor/extramarital/drug-related/storyline/casting shockers will be disappointed. |

If its something even Toups didn't want to touch,it has to be something more than just backstage shakeup with tptb |

It's more about legalities involved. Nobody wants to be in the middle of it. Branco might very well wish he wasn't involved at this point. It's not that it's "so shocking that it will blow your mind". But anyone involved in it might get caught in some legal crossfire, and my guess is that's why Toups stayed away. PS I hit the wrong button. I hit "Report" instead of "quote". Mods, ignore the "Report" I just sent. |

So this is going to be about Hogan, his contracts with DAYS and Y&R. There isn't anything else possible left to be that connects DAYS and YR... but what could be so dramatic then about this?? |
