I hope they unify and get this show back on track. This show needs Unity about all else. Everyone needs to be on board to make it work. I do appreciation it when they try to resolve things rather than continue the mess and the conflict! Edited by cjknick, Aug 1 2008, 11:43 AM.

So Dena's ass is staying :unsure: Well, hopefully she, Scott, and the rest of TPTB can collaborate well enough to save the show! I just hope everything works out.

Stefano's always a welcome addition to any storyline. I can't wait for his stuff to start airing - it sounds great! And Ava's gone! ;)

Hayley is a character that is needed on the show and if Kelly is not going to play the role then there is no reason she shouldn't allow someone else to play the role. It would be much better to have Hayley on the show with her history and character attachments than to have a new character. I mean the show probably couldn't even afford Ripa at this point if she came back plus they would have to work around her Live schedule so I don't see her ever returning. So why not have a new Hayley. And if this is true shame on Ripa for refusing to promote the show - that sounds like real love for the show to me.

With Higley firmly in place for the time being, its pretty likely that the show will continue to lose viewers plus the reputation of 2 professionals has been hurt because of what a squealed? I really think this was 'leaked' by Higley herself in order to divert attention from her own WGA scandal and because she was worried about being fired due to shitty ratings. So what does she do? She takes something that should have been an internal issue and leaks it so that she can play the role of the victim and hide behind WGA's skirts. That's my theory.

Ripa endorsing it or not probably wouldn't affect anything, as "big" as she is.

Sorry, Higley doesn't get a shred of support from me, as it's because of her that Mr. Scott had to put his career on the line, in an attempt to save this show. Quote: The actor maintains his latest return is open-ended. Sorry, Jarlena! Not a clue what you meant by that, but this John and Marlena fan is pleased to have Joe back. Infact, I am greatly looking forward to the upcoming scenes with Stefano and Marlena. :biggrin:

I doubt either of them did anything just for the sake of messin' with Higley because if there is one thing that Scott and the actors want its to stay on the air so if they did all of this stuff its because it needed to be done to save the show from Higley.

I am re-programming Days into my DVR as we speak!
