Glad to hear Richard Culliton is coming back. He wrote during the transition period in 2006 between Reilly and Hogan, didn't he? Under Beth Milstein? Didn't Culliton write those wonderful Jack and Jennfier scenes leading up to their exit? I remember him being praised for actually getting Jack and Jennifer.

Toups on SON just hinted that Nelson probably has the wrong actress here so I'm gonna say that maybe he confused ARI with Ali.

Oh and for those who follow these things, at SON it was said that Jeannie Marie Ford is returning to Days along with Fran Myers. Richard Culliton is also joining the writing team. Culliton is a great SW IMO and all of these people have history at Days as writers so that should only help things.
Yeah - I saw that too.

Dena needs to be demoted or fired....

I always got the feeling that Ed Scott was the one that did not like Nick. Not long after Scott came Nick got backburned and when Scott was fired Nick started to be on more again.

Could be true. Definitely plausible.

I just did some research and it was not Culliton that wrote for Jack and Jennifer well, seeing as he's only been at DAYS in 2001.

I didn't think he was at DAYS in 2006. However, he's a great writer and this show needs as many of those as it can get. I have a feeling this was another Tomlin move.

Damn...ANOTHER man for Sami!? This is ridiculous! I wonder what the blind item about the sleeping around thing is.
At least four soaps are filmed on the west coast, so I don't know how likely it is that the siren sleeping around is from Days. :smile:
I know, but I watch the other shows as well, for some reason I'm feeling it's GH or Y&R.

There is always story but there is a difference between that fact and what many fans will accept, which is the problem at Days in many regards. The problem is how many people care about Stax? Sure there is story but will people want to even bother?

I don't mind them but I know many do. I'm not disagreeing with you. The last few years when I commented positively on them as characters and sometimes as a couple, I was in the clear minority so it just seems like people could care less about them and where the show goes with them.

Your right that all we have now is that Galen is coming on to interact with both women. The pregnancies are of concern but it all depends on the approach they take. Maybe they are going to slowly build something here. Who knows. I have more faith in what is going to happen with Galen then I do with Martsolf.

I would hate it if Nicole loses the baby because already in a week's worth of episodes I've seen so much good come out of it. It's not even about EJ but her as a character. If they have her miscarry, it would just regress the character back and would likely make the character some one note psycho or something because she seems on top of the world right now about this baby, regardless of what happens with EJ. Sami has 3 kids. Let her be the one if one should miscarry.
I think enough people care about Max and Stephanie now. The outcry for them has been deminished an awful lot as opposed to last year when they first began toying with the idea. It's obvious that they're the new "money couple" and they're not going to be going anywhere else with either character, so I think fans are just starting to accept them as a couple. So yes, I think fans will care about a story between Max and Stephanie as long as it's good.

See, I'm the other way around. I'm not as upset about Martsolf coming on because we know Brady, even though I don't think he's needed. We don't even know this new FBI character and the fact that he's going to be involved (sparks-wise) with two women, both of whom are pregnant, really annoys me.

I agree that if one of them, if either of them, does miscarry it should be Sami, for storyline purposes. I think they've been investing too much with Nicole already about her pregnancy for her to be the one that miscarries. That would just be wrong. She's already been down that story. Sami, on the other hand, has not. They could tell that story for her and it would be something new.
Really? If it has, that's good because I'm even used to them now. Don't like them but can watch them and enjoy them at times. Then maybe you are right in that it can work.

I'm not sure if Richard Culliton was there in 2006. I know Anne Schoettle came back just to write J&J's farewell. Richard J. Allen wrote the COD, a big arc for J&J so maybe your confusing him with Culliton. I don't think Culliton has been with Days in a long while. He is a great SW though so it's a good move. With Myers and Ford coming back as well, my hope is that maybe Brash and SLG return too at some point.

As for Scott not liking Nick, that is very possible. I can see that argument.

Ah, yes!

My memory is fuzzy but I think he was around for the early part of the year when the show was on fire with the Victor/Kate stuff, the coronation, Jack's return, etc.

Mason is right though. The show can use someone of his talents. I've been liking the scripts more and more recently. Breakdown has really been the biggest weakness under Higley but with Tomlin getting the writing team back into a normal order with people filling more defined roles, the breakdowns should improve by default.

Is BD "out" like Dena Higley was "out"?
:P

For the record, Bryan and Ari get along really well. He often socialises with her and Kyle.
I wonder why Nelson's source would lie? :o

I'm not doubting you, btw.
Is it JUST possible this is one of those false rumors that are planted to see who is leaking stuff? I mean, how long has this damn "vet on the bubble plus one other actress" crap been going on? I have heard that false information gets leaked just to plug up said leak and track it down.
The Ari and Bryan not getting along stuff had me rather surprised, too. Much like some of the buzz earlier around here (maybe speculation) that Ali and Bryan were on the outs.
If the other shoe is going to get dropped, I would rather have it official. No offense, Nelson. But, I'm tired of innuendos and blind items and speculation.
LOL to heartsong: "out like Higley was out!" Good point. :D

Nelson, are you sure it's Arianne Zuker that BD is not getting along with?
It can't be Arianne since BD HIMSELF said he's having problems with Alison.
When did he say this, and to whom did he say it?

It's weird that, in the past few weeks, I've went from actively enjoying the show to outright not wanting to be bothered. Back from the beginning of the year til the first week or so of September, I had, at least, cared to watch Days or pay attention to it. But with them dumping Ed Scott and just.. the depth of the show seems to be getting sapped out. It's just. I don't know, they killed me caring about the show.

Days gets renewed? So what, two more years of this horse shit that they're putting on right now? Gering and Martsolf being casted was a horrible, horrible move. Kicking off Kristen Renton, when her coupling with Phillip was just ready to start moving, was another. And now that it seems they might cast some other shithead to pair with Melanie when there's the potential for a hot Chelsea/Nick/Melanie triangle? Guh. This show at least had some soul for the past half of year. Now it has no soul, no action, no tension. Which makes it even worse than General Hospital, which is at least fun in a "turn your brain off action movie" sort of way. I don't really care about Dattilo potentially leaving, but I think that he could have a helluva story with Kate potentially dying. Maybe he turns to the bottle again and Bill comes back to Salem and they can bring up some issues between the two of them. SOMETHING.

Dena needs to be fired, can Tomlin and then hey need to work something out with the WGA to get Ed Scott and his team back.

Oh, YEAH. The whole "Ali is the diva" and no one really confirmed if he said it seriously or not. Sorry, not buying it. He didn't say it in an official interview,and no one can really say for FACT if he meant it, so that's not really valid to me.

By Toups saying this Phoenix, would you venture to guess that he is delicately confirming BD is out? :ermmmm:

Yes, and if you note, that blog HAS been removed. Which to me, shows what it showed when that thread was out.......that it's all speculation and full of holes. Not enough for me.

Not Tim, but I would venture to say he's referring to the same spumors everyone else is.......no confirmation.

Well said, especially the first paragraph. I thought the show was actively getting better this summer, now it's back to :blah: . I don't care for any of the sl's right now.
