Does this mean even less screen time for one of the most underrated young actors in soaps, Blake Berris (Nick)? Insiders report the soap is actively casting a love interest for Melanie. Yep, it looks like we’re stuck with the hair model, kids. And just when we thought we were rid of Kristen Renton (Morgan)…

______

Not again... UGH

I wonder if this means they are finally re-casting Will.

I know I'm in the minority but I'm glad Higley and Tomlin have creative control.
I doubt Corday will stay on his ass too long. It's only a matter of time before he starts interfering.
Probably but after what happened with scott, he may be threading more carefully so that he don't get in trouble. No doubt Days is being watched so he has to be careful how far he goes. Corday seems more like the type to force something on a writer, not do something himself, but you never know.

Corday did make the point though that he wanted Tomlin last year and clearly Sony forced Scott on him. I doubt without the scandal Corday could've gotten Scott out of there. I think the fact that he wanted Tomlin means he will likely trust him with the show. He did trust Wyman and Langan alot to handle most things. He only seemed to get involved for awhile after ratings tanked during different periods but, otherwise, he left it to them. I think he will leave it to Tomlin for a good while. He may still interfere to an extent but I think Tomlin will probably have more freedom then Scott and Sheffer ever got because Corday actually wants him there.

This makes me sad for Blake Berris - finally Nick was getting some screen time and some love! I hope a new love interest for Melanie doesn't mean that he's on the way out. I'd rather keep Nick and get rid of Chelsea, Melanie, Stephanie and Max.

I think what Drew said the other day was what Days should've done...brought on Molly Burnett as another character.

She's very talented but now she's tied to Stax and, without Stax, she only has one person to interact with that really likes her in Nick. It's kind of like what happened with Chloe. You take away Shelle and that left her with only Philip to interact with so they had to force her into scenes with Lucas, Nicole, etc to allow her to interact with others.

Molly should've came on as someone else so it allowed the show to get rid of Stax without isolating her too much from things. Now they are stuck. If it comes down to Chick vs Stax, Chick is the one that should stay but I doubt Corday feels the same. He seems mighty high on them.

That GL part...lemme tell you....when I talked w/ John Driscoll the 2nd time, he said that stuff like this should be talked about, and not hidden behind closed doors. For instance, Beth and Ricky going to AMC....he felt we should ask about it, and speak of it. So, it doesn't surprise me in the slightest that they came forth about the Beth/Ricky farewell event.

As far as the 3-day a week soaps go for PGP/Telenext, are we channeling Brian Frons, but in a far worse condition??? Goutman must severely think we are robots...or dogs and have to be re-trained. Let's not forget that Goutman started on soaps before becoming an unsuccessful big-shot. If they really believe that this will work and only air ATWT/GL for three days a week....they are sadly mistaken. This will just land the shows into the great Soap heaven in the sky even closer.

For the record, Bryan and Ari get along really well. He often socialises with her and Kyle.

Not surprised they are casting for a love interest for Melanie. If they had really wanted a Melanie/Nick pairing, they should have made her older than 17, especially since he's working at the college. The way it looks right now, I wouldn't be surprised if Rachel, Blake and Bryan were all fired because none of them have much to do. And the idea of a quad between EJ/Nicole/Lucas/Sami is a bad one; we've seen too much of Lumi/Ejami the last few years. It's old, it's tired, it's done!


If the Dimera story doesn't pick up, I look for Thaao to be gone soon. When the Dimera civil war looked to be on the horizon, Tony and Anna were very involved, but that story hasn't even been mentioned lately so either it's fizzled out entirely or it's on the back burner.

I wonder why Nelson's source would lie? :o

I'm not doubting you, btw.

From your lips to Corday's ears!!!! We could lose Stax and many viewers probably wouldn't care, or even notice.

If Corday were forced to choose between Chick and Stax, he sure as hell ain't gonna choose Chick.

I'm wondering if "Ari" was supposed to be "Ali", based on some things we've heard over the last few weeks.

I don´t think they are phazing BB out. In one of her first post ever DH said she is just working on a big story for him, obviously the Nick/Melanie/Paris thing. So if that was her idea it will likely continue. Nick is the only young Horton on the show right now, that´s what makes his position very secure.

As for the BD thing it´s still just a rumour right now, the same likes Sami´s involment with the new FBI guy. She will have scenes with him because she is the one who witnesses Marino´s murder. But I seriously doubt even the writers know what will happen after.

Regarding the rumors concerning Bryan Datillo being fired, I'm surprised he hasn't spoken out and said something. A year or so ago when he was rumored to be leaving, he was mobilizing his fanbase and speaking out about it. I haven't heard anything like that this time around; has anyone else?

I don´t know about sources. This report sounds more like a buch of internet rumours/gossip. There was no inside info about Renton prior the official SOD announcement so I think most of the real sources disappeared along with Scott.

God, these sound depressing.

First of all, Galen cannot act (and I don't just say this because he was on Passions... lol), so pairing his character with Sami?? Ugh. Then again, maybe Sami needs someone new to take her out of the endless EJamiucascole whatever mess.

Second, and as much as it pains me to say this, either cut both P&G soaps to 30 or can GL entirely to free up more money for ATWT. Goutman is toeing the TeleNext line and it saddens me to see this.

Third, I think Days is going back toward Chick. Like them or not, they do have a fan following (I'm not a rabid Chick fan, just pointing it out), so maybe they're being reunited. Nick will be off canvas for a bit as is, most likely (with Blake being in The Starters Wife)...

GL is so petty.

The economy is really hurting if Judi has to hock cemetery plots. Bryan may as well join her. How many times can you get fired before you take the hint? Your career at Days is D.O.A.

I would be okay with them exploring Sami and the new guy, if she wasn't pregnant with EJ's baby....Making Sami pregnant just because Ali is pregnant was such a stupid choice..
