Sounds like there is another side to this story to me. But it certainly isn't the end of Days as we know it. Look at the bright side. There was no mention of JERk in there. |

I don't think Rachel has that kind of clout. |

I think what Ed Scott did was really underhanded. Show him the door and he can take his pet actress with him - I don't care who it is. |

Oh, and I desperately want to know which actors were penning their own stuff. I want to know where the blame really lies for all the messes we've been seeing in each individual story. "Summer of Romance." Pssh. God, can you imagine how Higley must've felt to be writing material only to have the actors and producers blatantly spitting in her face by taking the script and saying, "Fuck you, I'm gonna write what I want!" I mean, that makes me feel a little bad for her, actually. I'm not a fan of her writing, but there's a way to go about things and that just ISN'T the way. |

I think the other two are Steven and Mary. I know Steve wrote his exit screens durning his last GH stint. Not sure about the Diva through? |

LoL. As soon as I heard "overblown diva," Nadia Bjorlin popped into my mind. Just my gut instinct, I suppose. Ed Scott needs to focus on doing his job and not trying to do the jobs of everyone else. There's a reason he's not the writer, damn it! If they're unhappy with the material, they should've just fired Higley. Don't keep her on staff and undermine everything right in front of her eyes. I mean, what the hell is THAT? |

I was suppose to be at work at noon, so I was hoping for a bigger story than this. I do appreciate Nelson posting this as soon as he could though. I wonder who the diva is, maybe KA who maybe doesn't have story so she can help write the show? Hell who really knows though! If this is mainly Ed Scott writing, he is worse than Higley because DAYS has sucked the last month or so. I still want Higley gone and have no sympathy for her, regardless of how she was treated because she doesn't have the ability to be a HW and doesn't deserve the job anyway. Ed should just stick to help running the show and hire someone who knows how to write. I am off to work wonder how many pages I will be coming home to........ |

And Kenny is right. Whether you like Higley or not, this was not the way to handle the situation. |

And is there any proof of an affair? If not speculating could be injurous to someone. I'd love to know who is responsible for the destruction of Sami's character. She's the reason I watch and now I don't recognize her. Well, she has gotten a bit of her spunk back lately and if that's Ed, I thank him. It all needs to be done within a system. The truth of the matter is that Ken Corday doesn't care about his own show. He is the reason the show is in such a mess and nothing is going to change while he is there--or on vacay and not there as the case may be. |

Well, I am a big J&M-er. and she hasn't been on screen for three minutes in three months, so Imma doubt she's the Diva. I have seen B/Is about Ari Z, Shelley H, and questions about RMelvin. Nobody mentioning Chloe, but she's gotta be on suspect list. Does anybody 'root' for her, really? [Not 5 people-- I mean does she have any real-size fan base?] Is the old Shawn acting as a beard, cuz wasn't Nadia supposedly dating him? (Is that why he was hired back by Sony so fast?) And ASweeney was too busy with morning sickness to be the culprit. And the 'Diva' in question def would make it a chick. Maybe it was TBraun? I am still trying to read into DHog's 'safety of supercouples' vs embracing change stuff... Still, the item makes me (perhaps foolishly) hopeful about Deidre...and Drake. Nelson, my grandma had insomnia last night over all this-- throw us loyal DR's a bone, ya? Edited by daisysmommy, Jul 28 2008, 11:17 AM.

Ari got major airtime and story during Higley's first tenure. There's no reason for her to conspire with Ed Scott against her. |

As this sinks in, and I think about it, this explains SO MUCH!!!! Why people are just floating everywhere, storylines have suddenly changed and re-written, the autism story not living up to all its hype, Higley's message in her blog, just everything. It could even explain how Ava was suddenly out of Steve and Kayla's orbit and never even mentioned each other. Could Ed not have enjoyed that story? Why there are suddenly these new pairings that are kind of out of the blue, like Chloe/Lucas, Philip/Morgan. Why Stefano is returning after they fired JM back in May. Its obvious Higley did not want to write for him. Although the overblown diva part is STUNNING, too, so the actors are basically writing each other's lines? Does that mean the script writers aren't even working?! Did Ed just give the whole team a vacation?! And could this also connect to Victor's firing? Is Rick just there for show? All of this is certainly messy, and I now see why this is so bad. And I see the WGA's involvement in it, too, first they had to investigate Higley and now must defend her?! Thats way too nuts, and Days COULD be in serious legal trouble as others have said, with all they have gotten themselves into. And my opinion of Ed Scott has gone down majorly. I always praised him for all the excellent production aspects he brought to the show, but by doing this, he has let so much hell break loose. |

So Higley is NOT writing the autism storyline. Forgive me if I'm completely blown away here. |

The thing is...how much is Scott rewriting? Is it only certain stories or scenes? I mean, we don't know the specifics. Just that he has been changing things along with a few actors/actresses. That may be why you have Higley trademarks still around. As for the actors, SN and MBR complained about what happened to their story so I doubt it's them. I doubt it's Dee too because she's been written like shit until recently. Rachel Melvin is a solid guess but would Ed Scott really encourage a young actress like that to write her own stuff? I can see him telling someone who's been in the business a long enough time but someone who's only worked for 4 years? Doesn't ring true for me. One of my guesses is Drake Hogestyn. I really think he is one because he was skeptical when he returned and maybe he was hating the writing so Ed Scott allowed him to do some things. Perhaps that is why he was so high on John/Ava. It was his idea! One of my other guesses would have to be either Bryan Dattilo or Alison Sweeney. I can just see it. Ali is upset about the writing and with her being in and out, they let her craft her own story and maybe she liked the fact that Sami would lose both men and have to fight to get at least one back. Ali hasn't blogged in awhile either so maybe that is why she isn't talking about story. The only thing working against that is would Ali even have the time? The only reason I can see Dattilo in this is because he's always going on and on about having a new love interest and Lucas/Chloe came out of nowhere. As for a third guess, I have no idea. I just can't see it being one of the younger actresses. Jay Johnson is an option. He's gotten alot of screentime, more then ever, and is in a huge story so maybe he's involved. That's the best I can do on the guesses based on the cast and what we know. |
