This news kept me up all night.

Why?

Because something still doesn't add up for me. Something doesn't feel right.

Sorry, there's more to this story. Nothing is ever leaked without a purpose. I'd say the purpose is being served if someone who was formerly vilified is now seen as a victim and someone formerly beloved is now seen as something other. Something ain't right. I'm not saying that what has been reported on isn't true, but how much of the truth is the question. And it's not the reporter who I'm questioning. It's person who spilled to the reporter.

I have a relative who is in the public spotlight, not in entertainment, but business. And I will tell you this much, there is not a day that goes by when he/she isn't fighting some untrue rumor on the internet, or some news blown up out of proportion in a newspaper. And the newspapers are the biggies, the ones with massive resources and circulation. His/her lawyers are working 24/7. And this relative is a man/woman of integrity. But that doesn't stop people from trying to destroy him/her. You may wonder why I use him/her. Because it's so bad, I can't risk being more specific.

The press doesn't play. And once it commits words to ink, it is one hell of mess to get a person's name exonerated. It's all part of the game though and anyone in the public spotlight has to sadly accept this.

I would suggest to everyone to wait until more details emerge before condemning someone.
Great post, and I feel the same way. We're missing a lot of facts.

I just want you to know that it is an absurd and fabricated article about my "supposed" private affairs with Bruce Willis. I NEVER said any of those ridiculous things. I mean, who even talks that way?!?! - Nadia Bjorlin
That's what I thought. The "Bruce Willis Affair" article seemed very oddly written and really, nobody talks that way. Glad to know she cleared it up.

Kenny, I'm thanking my lucky stars (on his behalf) that Blake Berris has something to fall back on. I wonder how many of the Days actors are secretly putting out feelers.......
I know. What's very sad and pathetic is I bet Marcus Patrick (provided he reads) is sitting in his stripper shorts glad he isn't working there anymore.
LMAO :laugh:

Someone needs to call Sony - I heard they might reveal a thing or two. They told a friend of mine that works in the media side of the industry that a Y&R writer is coming to Days.

Oh really? Very interesting.

No one's spreading lies. We're speculating. Big, big difference there.

Yep. And that's part of the problem in living in the public domain. You're up for discussion and gossip and even the major stars can't stop that from happening with all their lawyers and money.

I'm pretty tired of the attitude that I shouldn't criticize anyone at Days and that I should just be quiet and support everything they do no matter what. Because I won't.

If people don't want to be gossiped about, then they shouldn't be breaking WGA rules and bragging about being the new head writer. Don't do anything scandalous, and the fans won't have anything to discuss.

OH, that reminds me, if its not Griffith or Hogan...could it be former HW Thom Racina(who just went to Y&R) from the eighties? Just tossing something out there

This could all be used as the basis for a great Sami storyline.

ETA - I spoke to a WGA friend this morning and this was his take on it:
He thought it sounded more like Higley was trying to diffuse the WGA investagation into her scabbing by using bullsh!t disinformation to take the heat off herself. I guess if it works for Carl Rove and Bush. Also, if she can do an end-run and discredit Scott, then his testimony regarding her to the WGA won't have the same merit. He thought it was a very calculated and desperate move by Higley.


This was my gut feel when I first read the scoop. I think someone close to Higley has "sexed up" the story for her benefit.
:shrug:

I don't know what to believe anymore. This is such a mess, I can hardly wrap my brain around it.

I'm still about twenty pages behind, but I'd like to make a post reminding everyone to keep this thread on topic. I'm coming across things that really don't involve the issue at hand and considering how long this thread has gotten, it's frustrating to scroll through several pages of posts that really don't have anything to do with the topic.

Also, please make sure that you all remain respectful of each other.

Please and thank you! :)

Wow. This topic soared on after I went to bed last night. Finally caught back up. If it is the actress in question, who could blame her. Her character has become so wishy-washy and pretty boring. But, as others have said, I would need real hardcore proof on who the actor/actress actually is to believe it. And even then, It's not like I would be that mad at them and write them off. Even if we learn more about what went down, we'll never 100% know the full story.

I'm not a newbie, per se, but I rarely posted until this "event." I came here because you guys have the best spoilers. So I don't mean to offend because I see that Nelson is a poster here as well as the author of the article. But the fact that he called the actress in question an overblown diva makes me think he doesn't like her all that much and it makes me wonder if there isn't alot of his pov in this article.
jmho. I listened to the radio show last night which was all Tom C. all the time, and he was frustrated that people were linking the blind item to the present scandal. I got the impression he was reading this board in particular. And he was a little over dramatic regarding having to drag the fans through this *****. Seems there has been a history of infighting on Days, which others have pointed out is basically Corday's responsibility. Had he nipped it in the bud, this may not have happened. Who knows. I still think Higley leaked this crap on purpose to give Ed Scott a taste of what it feels like to have the WGA investigating you. Which was sort of a last f.u. to Ed Scott. I still don't like tattletales and crybabies, which is why I don't like Higley. There was a certain amount of venom in that article from a source close to Higley directed at Ed Scott. I take it she hates his guts. I really don't care. Shoulda got Corday on the satelite phone (I assume he was in Siberia) and told him to come home and avert a disaster.
I hope that he makes some sort of statement soon. I hope it's classier than hers, too.

^Actually, Nelson's opinions have always been quite favorable to the "diva."

Kenny, you missed alot of action last night. We were all looking for you in the chatroom. I'm assuming no one has told you who the "diva" is yet and that you haven't gotten the to the part of this thread that became very interesting last night LOL.

I also get a little frustrated with all the discussions linking the BI to this latest news, but that's just human nature. People are going to speculate and guess about this stuff because it's fun. I hate blind items because they lead to innocent people being dragged through the mud for no good reason. However, if celebrities are going to enjoy the positive attention, they have to learn to deal with the negative, too. That's part of the fame game.

Alright, it's obvious that the actress in question is Alison Sweeney. Were there posts on any other forums by the "mystery poster" last night? Perhaps at SoapCity or NBC?

Regardless, I'm not going to comment on it. I think we should all research for the facts before coming to any real conclusions, and considering what a huge mess this is, that could take a while...

There was one at Soapcentral, as someone here on DR posted. That post has since been erased.

Kenny, check your PM box in a minute.

Has it been confirmed who the "diva" is or is it just speculation still? I know what name is being thrown around; I'm just not sure it's been confirmed as fact.

I'm not sure if OBK was using the phrase as a disclaimer, but there's a big difference between an "educated guess based on past incidents" and an accusation of wrongdoing in this particular instance. It worries me to see the line between fact and rumor blurred when peoples' careers are at stake.

She was talking about a post that that person made on SC about two years ago, which has since been erased because the SC admins purged old threads.
