Also, what part of photographic proof and WGA don't you get, LOL!
Do you know what the photos were of (if you feel you can tell us)?

I don't think it is Deidre as she has said for 20 + years that people who are far smarter than she are charged with writing for Marlena. I can't see her all of a sudden after 30+ years on this show to walk into the Producers office and demand to write for charcters and then to write awfully for her and Drake.

Lets review when things went topsy turvy. This would be the week of May sweeps. By the first week in June:

Ejami was apart
J&M were apart and Marlena was shipped to Colorado for the second time in a month.
Java starts.
Max is angry, adopted and in love with Stephanie heated up.
Dansea fell in love.
Payla had their baby and disappeared with the big white elephant in their room that was Steva almost making love to Ava.
Lucas returns and turns to Chole.
Phillip drops Chloe and falls instantly for Morgan.
Bope are the environment police.

None of these twists in s/l' or direction have been good for any of the vet Diva's so I can't see it being them. MBE, Deidre, and KA are either barely on or being written horribly. Who would voluntarily do that to their character?
I agree-- if Dena stopped writing in June, then the misery that was July:
Marlena's total absence
Java
Dansea with Grandma
Clucas
Phloe
Phorgan
Hennig airtime
Ejole

That would mean one of these is the culprits:
DHog or TBraun (DHog is a Divo, but both DHog and Braun are vets...not known for doing this sort of thing...DHog is 'ungraceful' with his opinions in the press sometimes, though...)
Ari
Nadia (more and more sounding like this is a bakeoff between her are Ari)
Rachel
Shelly
Morgan's real name

Also, SN is notoriously a re-writer.

And Dena's blogs (if they were hijacked) were recently CONSTANTLY pimping Dansea (more Dansea! [PUKE!!!] and S&K fallout scenes.

Im giving myself a headache....
When actors "rewrite" things it is typically just a lines or scenes not ENTIRE storylines.

Wow I finally made it to the end and I am in complete shock.

I feel horrible for Higley. To have the fans, bosses, and actors working against you. She may not be the best HW but she sure as hell didn't deserve this. How underhanded and unethical. If the

Ed Scott cheating on his wife (Melody Thomas Scott for anyone who doesn't know) with a younger Jezebel. That would be the Y&R connection. Poor Melody and the kids.

My money is on Nadia Bjorlin. She did fuck Bruce Willis to get her foot in the door in Hollywood.

And I agree Rhiannon, MTS has looked tired and just plain worn out on Y&R for awhile. It seems like her heart hasn't been completely in it for a few months. Now we know why. Just scandalous I tell ya.

I would guess Stephen Nichols and Mary Beth Evans are the ones who wrote for themselves.

Theo's autism story seemed to have been sabatoged because it was a Higley storyline.

Say what you want about Higley but she did keep the ratings even in April and May. Then comes June and July and start to drop.

Too many cooks spoil the broth

We just need a reality show about behind the scenes happenings because this is much more interesting then what is actually happening.

At what point though does the line get crossed cause I listen to a heck of a whole lot of commentary and I have to say that people on there are always talking about things the actor changed or added or didn't do or things the director added, changed or didn't do.

I don't think Higley will come back. Why would she?
Why would they want her to? Sounds like everyone at Days, except Corday, wanted her gone. And Ken might want that now too considering it was "sources close to Higley" who are throwing the show under the bus and trying to screw them, by "outing" all of the backstage goings-on, getting them in trouble with the WGA, etc.
Aha! I bet this whole thing is Higley trying to spin what would have been her impending firing. She's such a ditz.

Nelson do you really think this is a big deal? Script changes happen all the time - some dictated by the directors, sometimes the actors make suggestions - It doesn't appear that it was direct s/l changes but perhaps only dialogue! I don't see that as a big deal. I think it would be really hard for them to affect storyline direction .... you can't really do that on the fly or the sly that would mess soooooooooooooo many things up!

More to the story — tomorrow!
Oh my! This is crazy! I suppose we'll be getting some of the fall out from today's allegations.


As to the actress, I don't think it's Ari whatsoever. She really hasn't been given that much air time, and my apologies to Ari, but I don't consider her to be a younger actress.

I agree with luvpumpkins... there's only one young actress on the show that's coke thin. SH and KR have healthy looking bodies, I can't picture either one of them being hooked. Ah well, I am sure it will all come to light eventually. I also can't imagine KR would have the gall to walk around claiming she was writing the show, she's only been a regular for a short time. That would be extremely ballsy of her.

But Higley basically confirmed that the elevator sex "umbrella story" (first week of July) and Java sex (third week of July) were her ideas. I'm not seeing how this absolves her of responsiblity for the ratings plunge.

This is truly sad. I mean, Higley sucks as a writer, but to do this? If it's true.. and apparently it is. They all should be fired if this is true. Corday should be fired first. Then Ed Scott, and then Higley. All of these people are idiots.

And they are killing DAYS. They might be thinking they are helping, but seriously. And this actress... it's ridiulous. And why other TWO actors that wrote their own dialogue? I cannot believe it...

Nelson, you were right. This is sad. It's pathetic.

The use of the term "top star" is interesting, because it throws my Kristen Renton theory out the window. She might have gotten a lot more screentime lately, but no one would ever call her a top star at this point. When I think of "top stars" at Days, I think of Deidre, Drake, Peter, Kristian, Stephen, or Mary Beth. But I could be wrong. Now I'm thinking more along the lines of Nadia Bjorlin.

On a side note, I haven't felt this catty in *ages*...
