Steve or Alvin or someone, can you guys send me PM about where I could learn about Nelson's Y&R scoop??


If JG did this to MAB, then what about her previews? She was talking about this Gala stuff that is airing now...

Maybe JG and ES did this recently??

What Scott and this actress did is basically the same as scabbing. They are working as writers without being a member of the union - in essence they were scab writing in a non-strike time.

All they will have to show for it is most likely a bad reputation and the cancellation of Days of Our Lives
Yes but scabs get paid to write...Ed and this actress were not being paid to write...they were in essence, doing it for free :) Their salaries are for producing and acting...so really, they were offering their "services" free of charge.

I still think the pet actress is Kristen Renton. She's the one who had a nothing storyline and a very bit part, who is suddenly front and center ALL the time, having a romance with a major character, sharing screen time with important vets. Nadia's screen time has been severely limited, so I have a hard time seeing her as the one writing her own dialogue and getting more screen time.

I also look at backstage shots with JKJ and KR, and he typically looks bored or annoyed, which is very un-Jaylike. Nor can I see Jay being the kind to want to write his own scenes. But I can see him getting pissed that his co-star is rewriting his dialogue for him.

And yes, I will admit to being completely biased because of Phloe. ;) And I will also freely admit that the actress could also be SH or RM, but I still think KR is a better candidate.

And this has made me feel bad for DH. I hate it when my editor changes my manuscripts (even if it does improve them) and I can only imagine how it makes her feel to see her work being completely changed.

But Higley had the casting call for Paul back in March that had Paul warning Morgan to stay away from Phillip...Pairing Phillip and Morgan was obviously in the works way back then..I don't think its KR and she's no top star...Also i think she's too new to do something as ballsy as this..

They are going to pay a big price though for "donating their services" if all this turns out to be true.

Tehy are doing somethign illegal, causing big problems for Days, and will ultimately possibly cost themselves their big salaries.

If Higley sues or the WGA enacts fines esp. substantial ones - someone is going to have to pay and if I was Corday, Sony or NBC I would go after the ones that caused the problem.

Someone else pointed this out before it says top actor but everyone is immediately assuming that it must be a women. I hope we find out who it is when all this breaks.

I always thought that Darin Brooks came out of nowhere...he was a slut race car driver and now he is a friggin angry genius who has his own story about his entire family (dad, sister, niece, etc)...I mean, to get to Ireland, they had the entire cast involved. To get to Paris, it is just Max and Stephanie. And after all that Touch the Sky crap, he got an Emmy nod? We know Ed pushed him to do it. I know he can do single tears, but is he really that good?

I definitely believe that men can be the biggest divas.
And who knows, maybe Ed swings both ways!

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
It was stated that two actors have been encouraged to rewrite their storyline. Steve and Kayla have not even had a storyline in the last 1 1/2 months and they are pretty much absent in spoilers for the next few weeks. What storyline could they even rewrite? They are supporting Stephanie and Bo's storyline and had maybe one or two days of discussing the Ava situation. If they had input into character sensitive dialogue from one day last week, I don't see how that is an issue. Tom Cassiello praised how KA gave great input into some dialogue for John's funeral - which was praised by others also.

The ironic thing is that the dialogue Steve and Kayla had last week about the Ava situation was some of the best dialogue they have had this year as far as being in character and actually addressing issues. JMO And, ironically enough, I know that a lot of thank you letters and positive comments to Dena's blog were made because of it.

What is sad is that often times in this someone causes the problem but innocent people end up paying. If substantial fines are placed and a law suit comes about, it will either cost loyal fans their show or possibly see some of the big actors like Hogestyn, Hall, Reckell, Alfonso or others to have to be let go and lose their jobs and they may have not been involved.

I thought the "top star" was supposed to be the same actress that was allegedly sleeping with a producer?

Every time someone says "top star" the same thing keeps popping into my head... "On top of who" lmao.

Actually top star can be perceived differently by different people. Where as some people see Deidre, Drake, PR, KA, MBE, SN as top stars some others see KR, JKJ, RM as tops stars... it is all a mater of a persons perception IMO.

Well i could see Dena Higley pretty pissed off if she tuned into Days last week and saw Steve and Kayla discussing Ava, when they are supposed to be off the air worrying about the absent Baby Joe..

Well, Nelson does use female pronouns to describe the actor.


He’s also encouraged actors, including one overblown diva, to rewrite not just her own lines, but her scene partners. [This star] has taken to telling others that she and Ed are the head writers.

I think since the term "diva" was used, we assume it's a woman.
BTW, does this mean Dena is definitely out or is it a rumor?

I do think it is someone who is relatively new because a vet would know how serious this kind of stuff is, and would avoid it...they would especially not walk around bragging about it.
A newbie might be kind of naive about how serious this is.

I don't think Nelson said anything about that in the most recent Suds Report I read but new stuff keeps happening. I think it merely said that Scott and a top actor have been doing rewrites.
