DAYS OF OUR LIVES, NBC/Global
“I have decided that it’s in the best interest of the show’s future to make this change in order to improve Days both visually and emotionally,” says exec producer Ken Corday. “We at Days are grateful to Ed Scott for all of his contributions and amazing energy over the past year. Gary Tomlin brings a long successful history of being an actor’s producer and a writer’s producer to our cast and crew and I know the viewers will see the immediate results of this change for the better.”
Translation: I’m on vacation — leave me the hell alone! Does anyone have James E. Reilly’s phone number?
