We all really don't know the full details, there might be numerous cast members doing very small rewrites and/or cutting scenes, so before we all get our undies/panties in a wad we might want to wait to get more details. On a side note, I find Ali to be a bitch(met her 4 times in person, was a bitch everytime) and I will not apologize for saying so. |

Okay I've been lurking, reading and listening and now it's time that I put my two cents worth in the mix. The fact that all this hoopla started from Higley's camp has be sort of skeptical. Of course it's made to make her look like a victim, which she is not. Dena Higley simply did not have the talent or the skill to helm Days. We have all been seeing the results of her writing these past couple of months and it's awful. Ed Scott has been in daytime for far too long not to know the repercussions of tampering with the writing staff. He also knows that Days is still reeling from the WGA investigation during the writers strike so it would be the epitome of stupidty for him to allow not guild writers to "write". I think what has happened is Dena was writing crap, Ed and all the cast knew it and took steps necessary to hold on to some continuity to their characters and the stories. And I say "Thank God they did!" Dena probably saw the writing on the wall, slung and fit and decided that instead of waiting to get fired, she would quit and do as much damage as she could on the way out. I know that if I had spent 10+ years of my life devoted to one character and some hack job came in and managed to dismantle what I had worked so hard for in just a few months, well sayng that "I was the head writer now" would absolutely be the nicest thing I said to her. |

ROFL Nice hint. I beg to differ on that though, my friend :$ I am sure people were hoping and/or thinking it was Deidre. Glad to say they will be sorely disappointed. |

well berg i am on page 55 of over a hundred just getting caught up everywhere...i have read some at a couple of other forums but so far i will just say as a loyal fan i hope to get the full story from all sides involved, i feel entitled to it since i care so very much about this show and whats been on screen the last couple of months ~originally posted by kenny~: This thread has caused the DR to break its record for most users online at once. Thanks, guys! Drinks all around! I just wish it weren't for something that seems so depressing and doomsday-ish. kenny the board you have here is cool so far for me, i just spend more time defending my couple on other boards :drunk: Edited by Tricky, Jul 29 2008, 04:21 AM.

The last set of spoilers starting with the week of Aug 1 is the first stuff I've been interested in but I'd assume it started a few weeks ago when the writing took a turn for the more complete. |

The blind item involving coke has NOTHING to do with it. And that blind item was poorly written if this site is so credible they would of done some fact checking to realize that NBC only has one soap so saying "This NBC actress..." was dumb. They clearly thought NBC had more then one soap so they must of though Passions was still on NBC. |

i agree with you so much, barring the fact that i still want to hear from ed scott and the actress if any of this is true, and they want to have their side heard....if they choose to remain silent then i will take this as absolute truth. :sheep: |

God, this reminds me of the old SON days when an actor firing would explode into a 100-page thread. We haven't had one of these in a long time! Thanks Dena! Thanks Nelson! Thanks Ed! Thanks Rachel, er Nadia, er whosherface... |

The Blind Item and the Branco story are two completely separate issues. |

I don't think whatever was changed has even aired yet so his changes could very well be for the better we will have to wait and see what more news breaks and if we can get some answers about when this rewriting stuff started. |

i agree but i want to hear what and if ed scott has anything to say...and the actress as well if she chooses to come forward, i would if my rep was at stake and ed scott has a good rep imo... as another poster said if ed scott changed the dansea to make kate involved in it, i am not sure that is good, i like kate and the actress who plays her enough to want her to have a storyline that isnt angst for her on screen grand-daughter, as long as she didnt have to sleep with anyone to get that storyline....but my gut is telling me this would be one of the younger crowd for some reason but thats all i will say about her until the other shoe drops |

To quote myself, which is super-dorky I know, this is what I said at 12:30 p.m. CST:
I've been very confused about the mixing of the stories, since I always thought they were separate. I don't think I'm very well-equipped to handle gossip, lol. |

Yeah, I don't think much of this rewriting has made it to the air if any yet because they write up to 8 weeks out (storylines planned out much longer) and film four weeks out. And the way this person has been written the last couple of months, WHOA! I would be pissed too and could see her asking for rewrites or story direction change. |

well, i'm still sticking by CD&N's credibility on this one. they just said this actress on an nbc soap.... yea sure, maybe they thought they were being more vague since most networks have several soaps and not just one, but the BI couldn't have been about a passions actress. they were done filming that show well before this was posted. i'm not sure that this has anything to do with what's going on now, and i feel bad for speculating that it was RM if she's totally innocent, but i still think there's something to that BI. it wasn't made up out of nowhere.
