the scripts with Ed's — and the top star's — changes! Someone turned them in!
Sorry again but I don't understand that sentence. Could someone translate that in to newbie-english for me :unsure:
I think it means that someone took the writings/changes Ed Scott and some of the actors made and turned them in and there are copies/pictures of them....make sense?

Wow, so there is proof and evidence that all of this is being done? I can't wait to find out who the "top star" is...and the wording of "top star" totally makes me rethink Rachel Melvin.

Thanks for the scraps, Nelson!

Yes, because actors writing STORYLINES, not dialogue, is a HUGE INFRACTION against Guild LAWS. Also, clearly no one on this soap will be allowed to write their own soap as head writer because producers are always interfering. I fear NBC will use this to cancel the show. It can't even afford craft services, let alone fines! This kind of meddling is what is destroying the show and the business! Ed has really improved Days on many production levels, but now if he goes, the soap suffers thanks to his stupidity! Also, the irony involved regarding the possibility that Dena (like Todd Manning getting out of jail for rape because he saved Sarah Roberts) may get a free pass from the Guild is crazy!

Non English speaker here as well, but what I think he's saying is that they have the scripts that Ed and THE actress wrote/changed.

Nelson mentioned earlier that the WGA had photographic proof of the allegations against Ed Scott and the actors, and this is what he was referring to.

Hey, Nelson, thanks for this. Do you have more explanation about Y&R and the connection to this situation?

Top Stars are people that have been awhile longer then Renton, Melvin or any of the younger cast.

So apparently when rewriting the show they made sure to put their name on it to get credit? The hell? That makes no sense to me.

The rewrites started happening weeks ago but probably just now started to air therefore Higley's crap still is what drove the ratings down.

My gut is telling me that the actress is Nadia Bjorlin.

If they did put their names on those scripts, it was an incredibly moronic thing to do, because now it's coming back to bite them all in the ass.

I sure hope it's true that Higley is gone! :hail:
Seriously, that's just about the ONLY good that can come from all of this!

If Nadia had the power to direct her scenes and/or storyline, I find it impossible to believe she would choose what she did. Why would she want her character paired with Lucas? I don't consider any of her recent storyline to be flattering to her character, nor is it increasing her screentime--and now they're promoting "the next new romance" of Phorgan. :puke: I can't imagine Nadia thinks Chloe/Lucas are the next supercouple. If we had a Chloe/EJ/Philip triangle I could maybe buy that theory 'cause who could blame her, but I can't see how she would be pleased with what she's got right now and if she had the power to change things why would she pick this?

That's why I'm having a hard time believing it. Actors can do stupid things but ES stuck his name on the thing?

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*...
When I think of Days top star, I think Alison Sweeney. She's all over the NBC site.

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.
I asked the question about NB posts ago and no one answered me....Anyway, I'm with those who thinks it's Nadia.... :sex:

Someone needs to give a recaplet of the 50 plus pages I missed between when this broke and today because I think I missed vital information!

I don't consider her that either, but I think the term "top star" could be relative. Besides that, I really just don't see who else it could be, besides maybe Rachel Melvin.
