actually, if you go back and look, rachel melvin's air time sky-rocketed around the time ed scott came on.
No it didn't. Rachel Melvin was already very much front burner well before Ed came aboard with Zack's death, the stuff with Nick and Willow, and Touch the Sky.
I think the poster was referring to the types of stories she was doing. She went from Teen/youth/family oriented stories to adult romance-based stories.

Ed Scott didn't start having an impact on stories until late 2007. He came on in August but storylines are mapped out several months in advance so after the Sorority storyline would be the first time Ed would have had an impact on Chelsea's storyline.
I really don´t want to sound like I wish RM is the one we look for, but Ken Corday himself said Chelsea and Stephanie will be the rivals in the Tony/Anna ad agencies war story. That was in the same issue where most of early Highley´s ideas were revealed.

Next, Shawn Patrick is hired, an older actor most of mags thought will be put in the storyline with Billie, who is suddenly fired. And RM informs her fans on her blog (and yes, it was her blog which broke the news first) there was a slight change in plans and Chelsea will be given her own big storyline which will really give her a chance to shine (Bo´s sickness) and the rivals will be Stephanie/Morgan instead. And from that moment on Chelsea is always in the stories on her own.
Interesting look at things...
Though that was when Higley's stuff first started airing and it doesn't look like this has gone that far back.
Yeah, but it could evolve in time. This is really more in the relation with the BI anyway.

I think Nelson is trying to give us clues because he can't come out and say the name...so we just need to list the clues and eliminate and narrow ....

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


That's a defamatory statement. How do you know what she and BW did or did not do? Did you spy on them? Just because she went to one movie premiere with him doesn't mean anything.
Unfortunately for her fans, she's a public figure, and that means she -- and any other soap star for that matter -- is open season when it comes to debating her. It's all about the 'marketplace of ideas' and saying enough absurd things that hopefully reveal the truth of the matter. No defamatory statement there. Especially when someone could argue that "fuck" means she played with his heart just to get in the Hollywood door. Semantics can rock, as Bill Clinton proved. :)

Dee's fan club president said it isn't Deidre.
Well, I've seen some nasty things (or at least one that left an impression) that have discredited the fan club president. DEEPLY.

Who said it was one script? Now you guys are making things up. They have scripts, breakdowns, everything including emails!
Oh...

my...

GOD.

This is HUGE!!!!

I certainly hope ET or TMZ get wind of a true soap opera scandal! We need some press for these soaps, even if it must come in this form.
The truly ironic thing would be if the ratings increased becaues of it. I think that the week that Ellen had that controversy about her pet dog her ratings increased by around 10% or so.

What I keep coming back to is the fact that everybody here seems to be treating this accusation against Ed Scott as if it's been proven to be true. It has not. And while we can speculate about it until the cows come home, a man's livelihood and reputation are at stake, and I need a little more proof than the spin of someone from the Higley camp.
True. However, where there is smoke, there is fire....and with the show being as shitty as it's been for the past months, it would make sense that there has been some rewriting and that something....err....someone has been fucking up -- not just Higley.

Nelson I think people are not wanting to think anything bad about Ed and that is their right.

I don't think that's the reason. I think people would prefer to hear all sides of the story rather than impugning the man's character based on the "report" of a solitary, nameless source. Nelson's scoop may prove 100% accurate but I think simple fairness dictates approaching these (extremely serious) allegations with caution.
I agree. Also, it is ironic that this story is making a lot of people sympathetic to Dena when it seems 101% obvious to me that she and Corday planned ahead of time for her to underhandedly scab during the writers strike, resulting in eight other writers losing the job. She used the union's desire to protect writers through the strike to protect herself, at the expense of other writers, when she was nearly unemployable after being fired from OLTL. Now she is complaining about ethics and underhanded dealing when it is convenient to her both from a public relations perspective and a negotiation standpoint with the WGA.

I am not saying that nothing underhanded is going on now or that the present allegations are necessarily all false. But there is obviously a bigger picture involved and we are seeing only a small part of it with this report.
Excellent post..I agree with all you said..the timing is perfect for her..
Maybe this is Dena's big story to keep people tuned in through the Olympics. She talked about needing something big to keep people tuned in when the show is airing at different time slots. Since she can't actually write a story for the show she creates back stage drama.
Too clever, jcar!

I've always wondered that too, and I'm not sure it has anything to do with this newest story anyway. They could be totally unrelated. While it's always fun to speculate about this kind of stuff, I really do hope that none of the younger actresses (well, nobody period) is a coke addict who sleeps around to get to the top. Or the middle, whatever Days is.

Doubtful they would focus any attention on it if they heard about it.

Does anyone remember when Melissa Reeves up and quit? I'm too young to remember all the details but I think it got a lot of coverage but I could be wrong.

I see a lot of people accusing people that they have knowly and vocally said they don't like especially KR because Morgan broke up Philip/Chloe and they are all mad about that.
I freely admit I can't stand Morgan, but that doesn't mean there's no logical reason to speculate KR might be involved. I also specifically said I doubted it was her. Does everyone who thinks it might be RM hate her? What about those accusing Nadia? It just really irritates me when people accuse others of only saying things because they have an anti-shipping agenda, like when Chan fans claim the only reason people don't like them is because they're embittered Chick fans. It's quite possible to loathe a character and have logical reasons for that dislike.
Oh thank you!

that's a fair question, but i can't answer it. the original item came from crazy days and nights, and an entertainment lawyer out in L.A. runs it. i think it's safe to say that they know juicy gossip the rest of us aren't privy to, up to and including the tabloids. but it could all be a lie. i don't think it is, and i don't know why the blogger would make it up, because they have no reason to really do so. the comments for that post are all pretty much "who cares about soap stars?" so why make up information for a post that no one cares about?

Well, I don't know what Nadia's agenda was, but she talked to the press about the Willis affair, complete with nuggets about screwing so rough that a lamp fell off a table.
wwwwwhhhat? When was this? :laugh:
http://www.monstersandcritics.com/people/news/article_1325012.php/Nadia_Bjorlin_spares_no_details_Bruce_Willis_smashing_sex

She talked HERSELF to multiple outlets (not just the ones quoted here) about breaking ornaments and lamps and shit.

And I still think its her...however, those thinking it is RM may have a point...how in holy hell did she score an emmy nod? And also...I ABSOLUTELY think Dena's plans were to have Lexie have an affair with Daniel...part of the whole 80% of couples with autistic kids divorce piece of the story. Then they totally backed away from that and centered the story around RM...and she sure has been getting attention and airtime...

I guess that's plausible.

Thanks for the posting that. Only an attention-starved diva would give details about their sex life in a public forum like that. Not among friends, but to a magazine. CLEARLY just for press. I have rethought my view about her after reading that. What a diva! Maybe it was her, re: the "Days" mess. But then, I really am wondering about RM, sad to say. They were SO going with Lexie and Daniel. Although I like the theory about Ed airing his affair (in a wink-wink way) via Chan. Talk about priceless fodder for the tabloids and entertainment shows.

Sounds like a tabloid reporter just ran with their imagination simply because Bruce Willis was involved.

I don't think it's Dee. But I'm not sure her fan club president saying it's not her means anything. I mean isn't defending you the kind of thing your fanclub president is supposed to do?

Still? I don't think it's Dee.

To get people to read their blog and spread it around and use it to make people look bad. People make stuff up all the time. Its not a credible source.
