It doesn't change the fact that what Scott did was completely fucked up. No matter how bad he perceived Higley's writing to be, you don't just knife someone in the back like that. There's a right way and a wrong way to deal with the situation and Ed did it all wrong. Corday needs to get his balls out of whoever's pocket they're in, step up to the plate and say "This is MY fucking show." Then he can dismiss Ed, the pet actress and if he feels it's best, Higley too. We won't have a show but at least all the backstabbers would be gone. |

I'm no Dee fan but I don't see how it could possibly be her. She's been pretty vocally upset about the turn for Marlena and not wanting the 2 week break. Plus wouldn't she write Marlena as a character somebody liked, anybody. Sheff wrote Marlena better the one or two times he bothered than Marlena is being written right now. I don't see how it could possibly be Dee. |

I wonder if it IS Deidre! All of a sudden Stefano is back and taking revenge on her...she also is playing Samantha Evans...I don't know, it all just sounds too sudden. With this news nows it certainly makes that situation seem more plausible. If it IS Deidre.....then she has taken the Hall/MTS feud to a whole knew level!! *meow* |

I do agree that there has to be another side to this. I mean, Ed Scott's been in the business for years. It's hard for me to imagine him going this far. I mean, this comes off like he went way too far, along with some actors. Like Jane said, the other side needs to be told. Higley is known to be temperamental. We saw it in her blogs. It is possible she didn't get her own way and threw a fit and whoever the sources are that came to Nelson only had her side. We'll see. This definitely has alot of layers to it. |

Well, if they are, I'd like to say *HI* b/c I too am in Burbank. LOL. The first person who popped into my head when I read this was Deidre Hall. I don't know...she's single. LOL. She's blonde. Ed likes blondes. She could have started out by "helping" the writers keep J&M in check during the strike but then it developed into something bigger. |

So it was either Rachel Melvin or Shawn Christian. Shawn hasn't been around long, so I can't see them giving him free reign. That leaves us with Melvin. |

I don't see how Ali could swing the writing, the pregnancy, and The Biggest Loser. |

It amazes me that ED was almost able to get away with this...How Could Corday allow this to happen?...Do you suppose Ed has dirt on him? Is there a photo of Corday fucking a goat or some other barn yard animal floating around out there?...This is nuts! |

While I don't think Ali has been happy with Sami's direction in recent months, she is a team player and if she were rewriting scenes, she'd actually be in them. When I talked to her in June she told me that all she wants to do is go to work and do her job. |

What Scott did was wrong but I am not looking for Corday to step up, afterall he's the one who has been hiring these writers in the first place. |

The first person that popped into my head was Nadia (from the Diva remark) then Rachel and then MBE! I think those are your three little Ed Scott helpers! |

I think she could be at the top of the list of NOT being the diva mentioned. Do you really think she wanted Marlena to be written out of the nuJohn story and encourage Java? |

Well, also it would be interesting to see how much rewriting is going on. The source seems to be pro Higs... and so without seeing the other side it's kind of hard to know. I mean actors tweak and change things. Producers tweak and change things on set all the time. The question is when and where it gets out of hand and it's hard to say without knowing at least a version of the other half of the story. |

Based on all the accounts that I've read, everyone on that cast is a hard worker and if this is about saving the show and their own future then who really is at fault? One person, Corday. |

Matt the blog entry was June 10th - so this has been going on at least since the first of June. All this goes to what I have been saying - there are too many chiefs at Days and not enough Indians. Everyone wants to be chief. This stinks. And I think will ruin the show. I know rumors were out there about Ed Scott and writers not getting along before, but I don't think anything this bad. If it is because of the person he may be sleeping with - all I can say is many men have been led astray by thinking with the little head when they should have been thinking with the big one. Sounds like that may have been what happened here. This just all stinks and definitely explains what has been going on. As I said in the other thread Dena went down at Days a lot quicker than she did at OLTL. OLTL stayed pretty even for almost a year when she took over there, but since April things have gone down hill fast at Days. And I don't see people defending Scott at all. There is a difference in interfering with someone's writing - that goes on all the time where writers are told what to write and who to write for - but no one has changed the scripts like this is talking about here. That is when you get yourself in hot water. |
