My sources says he hasn't been told yet.
Well, that's just friggin' stupid. How many weeks is this going to carry on without telling him, if this is true? Days is going to end up with egg on their faces just like they did with the whole Drake thing if they keep playing SEcret Agent Man, IF this is true.

The way I see it, we have one of several scenarios:

1) Bryan could indeed be out and this time was given strict orders to keep quiet about it.
2) Bryan is not out and the sources are mistaken.
3) Because of the Higley story, it's also possible that the sources are deliberately feeding Nelson bullshit.

After that I got nothin'

I trust my Days sources, and I stated this is not a definite, but they are getting rid of a vet, and personally, my instincts agree it's probably BD. I hope it's not. And listen, one of the reasons I leak things like this — and I'm usually on target when my sources are the peeps involved — I'm hoping Days saves face and changes their mind. I hear Gary Tomlin doesn't think Bryan has chemistry with his leading ladies and he's casting all these Passions hunks. Nadia was supposed to be the vet leaving, I hear, but Tomlin vetoed that by bringing in Brady. Smart move.
Not in MY book! :soapbox:

So wait, your sources know, you know and now most people have guessed or think they know...but BD has no clue?? Nah. I mean, I see that BD's stories are lacking for him, but this rumor has been around for weeks, and the guy doesn't know??

Also, Lucas was awesome with Sami today. He took her in, tried to convince her to tell EJ, had great banter...it would be totally out of character for Lucas to turn crazy and stalk Sami. Lucas is finally loosening up and stopped yelling at Sami for everything. He is finally in character...it would be insane for him to go nutso.

I like BD and don't want to see him go...unless he goes out in glory. But really, why bring in two bad actors from a reject soap to replace a dude who has a good following with decent acting skills and history???
I want to marry this post. :wub2:

Um...not that this matters, but I thought that Bryan had major chemistry with Belle/Martha. But no, he doesn't have chemistry with Nadia, and recently his spark with Ali is missing.
I liked him with Nicole.
I do see with Tomlin is saying though.
ACtually, this week, I thought he sparked with Allison a lot more than with their yelling matches. With the whole Kate thing, taking Sami to the hospital, the friendship vibe..........I thought he did a pretty damn good job.
I wish those assholes would quit playing games.

I think Lucas and Sami were aways better as friends or enemies - they just never had that "lovers" chemistry, that just never came off believable.

That's true. But, there have been reasons for Lucas all these years. I think the big problem truly came about when Ejami first started, and then they put Lucas in the Phloe orbit. I don't recall too many Austin/Sami fans calling for Lucas's head.
And, I still don't buy the the comments that BD made at the Burlington event. No offense to anyone (although I'm sure some will be taken), but I have a hard time believing the impartiality of this, especially when it's someone who WANTS Lucas off canvas trying to convince me it was true.
The irony of all this is: I can't believe I'm sticking up for him so hard. Lucas has his good moments. I don't consider him my ultimate favorite on the show, and yes, there are times when he irritates me. BUT, I have heard good things about BD and how much fun he is at the studio. I feel he was given the bum's rush by some fans when James Scott first stepped foot into that studio, and unfairly. People don't have to like Lucas, but it was then being transferred to BD. Everything he said publicly was being picked apart and analyzed, while James Scott could do no wrong. And, recently, it was happened in the Phloe camp.
BD might not be everyone's cup of tea, but if they are firing him because some diva got pissed off at him, that's just wrong. And, really, I have this suspicion things are better just because the dynamic with Sami and Lucas was good this week. Just my speculation. Hell, it could be that he WAS fired, and he's relaxed that the shoe has dropped and he can go on. It could be because, maybe he's on the line. It could be because they resolved their issues.
But, since Bryan is such a joking bullshitter, I would take the Burlington stuff with a HUGE grain of salt. It could be that he crossed the line and Allison got pissed off that he said that. In which case, girl needs to get a sense of humor.
I don't know. If he was truly mad at her and said things he shouldn't, he should be reprimanded, but not necessarily fired unless there are things going on that we don't know about. In which case, they should suck up the balls to do it right instead of playing games with a man's future. The reverse situation blew up in their faces with Drake. Pretty soon, no one is going to care. I'm sure it goes on all the time.
As far as BD versus NB, I'll take BD any day. I don't care about pretty. I care about someone who can put some inflection in their voice. But, I'm not going to denounce NB and dissect every thing she says just because I don't care for her acting. Actually, if the girl would shave off a few extensions and cover up some cleavage, I could probably even tolerate her! LOL
Bringing on these eye candy guys......I don't know what to think. I'm not getting good vibes about this at all.

When that first rumor surfaced...and his fanbase raillied, we had a source that stated that it MIGHT be true. We knew in a very timely manner that it could be true, and so that's why there was action taken. Bryan himself even had stated that he wanted our support.

This time, and the time when he was let go and came back, we had been told that there was no concern about him leaving/not coming back.

I do think that there is nothing to worry about now. Regardless of wether "he has not been told", in this day of the internet, I cannot imagine he would not get wind of something like that...and not mentioned something...even if he was told not to, lolol. If you want to keep your job you have to do something about it, not just give up.

The only thing I can think of at this point if this is true is that he just doesn't want to be on DOOL any longer, so he doesn't care...but that's not like him either, if he didn't want to be on the show, I think we would already have known.

I heard that Bryan's been working a lot lately. And nothing about him not getting along with coworkers. I'm still confident that all this is just rumors...we shall see.

I am shocked, I honestly had no clue Ari and BD did not get along....but to be honest after sooooo many rumors over the last five yrs of BD's departure I can not bring myself to believe it. I think BD is here to stay.

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.
Sorry coming into this thread rather late.

I wanted to say there is a difference between fans indifferent to a couple and liking a couple. Stax is a couple I think either most people are indifferent to or loathe. When the show features them heavily, even people indifferent start to complain. Why the show even chose to put their money in this couple over Chick is beyond me.
Same here. I totally dislike Stax, but I FF thru them, so I don't complain about them much. I'd actually be interested in the Trent murder if I thought we could get rid of Max or Stephanie.

I'm not a BD fan but I know that he has a ton of them, and they already got screwed over earlier this year. For that reason, I hope he's not let go.

First off, just because Days is issuing no comment on the renewal means nothing. I don't think the DR would've posted what it did had it not been true. Days never comments on shit until it happens. It does that every renewal period and everytime they are going backstage stuff like this. As I said in the renewal thread, it's like cuts will be announced along with this announcement so the show is probably handling that before announcing the renewal officially. If the show was being cancelled, they wouldn't be bringing on actors and NBC wouldn't be doing this big fanfest nor would there be a need for writing team adjustments and all that other stuff. Days is sticking around. I don't think there are any doubts now.

As for Bryan, he probably doesn't know yet or is being asked to keep quiet. The writing is on the wall folks. He probably sees it too and my guess is he isn't telling his fans maybe because he realizes it's not worth it. With everything going on, maybe he wants out. Who knows. Just because his fans are sure means nothing. I would expect nothing less. I dont' care if he goes or not but it does fit with what is going on.

So now it seems like Nadia may have been the other actress fired with Renton but the show pulled back. That makes so much sense. Jay Johnson said last week that Tomlin saw something special with him and Nadia and Chloe and Lucas were barely featured until this week. We've all been so focused on the vet but it was announced another actress was axed too with Renton and now hearing that Nadia was on the outs...it all makes sense now. Nadia's acting has been much better this week. Perhaps nearly being ousted woke her up.

Tomlin is no doubt consulting but I doubt he is re-writing things. Even if he wanted to, Days is being watched like hell with what happened. I think that is why Corday is even stepping back a bit. That and he likes Tomlin. Tomlin and Whitesell are buddies so he can influence things from that end too.

Hmm, you know, that makes sense about the Nadia part. I mean, Chloe left Salem on Friday(obviously not for good), and it was the same day Morgan exited. Do you think that originally, this was also supposed to be Chloe's last day(it'd make sense because from how the mags talked it sounded like the other actress was fired at the same time as Kristen), but then Tomlin changed things at the last minute?

I have it from a source that talked to BD's managers, that he is not been fired. Bryan is busy working and his cycle has been picked up. This is all just rumor.

Whew! :cheer:

People are going to think I have it in for Passions on this board (sorry Rakesh, I don't!! lol), but here goes...

This is the exact thing I worried about happening with Days. NBC needs to get one thing straight with this show. THIS IS NOT PASSIONS. To me, this strikes of the network saying "Hey, Passions is done... let's go out and get a couple actors and bring them on Days, and maybe the same people that liked Ethan and Luis will like their new characters on Days!"

And people why NBC is down to one soap and solidly in last place in daytime.
LMAO
It's okay. ;) You have a point though. I was on the Passions board yesterday at NBC and a lot of people are excited about GG and EM coming to Days. Those threads over there have a lot of replies and they are positive ones too. So if NBC is looking at the Passions board, they will see it as a positive sign. Lots of fans have stated that they will watch DOOL now since GG and EM are on.

This is what I think - If they are going to hire people from any show, please hire the ones who can actually act. I would love to see Lindsay Hartley on any soap. Lindsay has the potential to become the Susan Lucci of Daytime, IMO.

LOL. It IS crazy, I give you that. We all have our sources, and I guess we all believe them.

The DR has a source that has yet to prove me wrong, and he told me DAYS was renewed for two years, and until I hear from NBC that it's not true, I'm standing by it. :)

As for the Bryan stuff, I have no idea. I didn't hear any of that. I also didn't ask. I believe Nelson!

I don't want to discredit anyone either. But this isn't the first time rumors about BD being fired have circulated, and he wasn't fired those times either. Apparently he's been picked up for the next 6 months. The way the s/l's are unfolding, seems Lucas will have plenty to do. I have to go with what Bryan's managers are saying. But yeah, it is hard to know what to believe when these rumors come out.

Nadia was supposed to be out and Tomlin reversed that decision?
