Reading this post reminds me of what is missing on Days now. The heart really is gone. I think John and Marlena were a passionate couple and I think that is the kind of fan that was drawn to them. We saw, we felt, we liked, lol. I'm glad I was one of them too. |

Beautiful post, Kyrai. I think you should send that to the magazines (and certainly the show). You know what I just dug up - I'd saved this blog post, because of the collection of "Plan to Save Days" covers. Notice anything in common among the covers?? (And there are a few others not on here.) Wonder what the 'Plan to Save Days' is now. http://snarkweighsin.blog-city.com/savingdaysagain.htm |

Although I'm sad for Days... I'm sick of this new days to be honest. I can't help but think... if Susan Flannery is really planning a retirement... then maybe Deirdre could go to B&B ... I'd like to see her take on a new character anyways. |

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Thanks, Ellie - that Snark article was hysterical. Sad and depressing, but hysterical. The collection of covers was EMBARRASSING. |

She may not want to work anywhere else. She's often said it's DAYS for her. She's turned down things in the past. But seriously, you do NOT fire Deidre Hall. Everyone else, I can see... but there is that one or two stars that have huge saleries that are justified. |

My mom, who has never watched a single soap opera in her life, who doesn't know anything about Days at all, knows who John and Marlena are, and especially who Deidre Hall is. She is iconic, and I'm still in shock that they actually fired her. |

I have got to agree with those who say firing DEE is like firing Susan Lucci....its too shocking for words. Yesterday at work I let all the J&M fans know what is going on...They could not believe it. They think I am joking. I told them to read the mags when they come out. TPTB better get ready for a hell of alot of mail. |

LOL! No problem. I agree. The best part about that article is that the commentary (while funny!) is hardly needed; these Corday quotes are almost fitting for a Jon Stewart segment, in that they just speak for themselves. "SLOANE: I've gotten a lot of flak from fans because you've said in the past that they'd (the core popular characters) be back on-screen, but they really weren't. So are you saying that yes, they will be back in a regular capacity? CORDAY: Yes." |

Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to say in the longer post I wrote in the SOD thread, that the news is going to come out slowly. We (the online fans) learned first, then magazine readers will, and then general viewers who will see the promos, then viewers who just see the last scenes themselves and think "they're not really fired, are they?". I agree, TPTB are going to get a lot of mail - for the next few months, at least. |

OMG, thanks for posting. I was laughing so hard the tears started streaming down my face and my dog got creeped out at me. I really wonder if those tears were part sadness, too. :drunk: |

Aw, you're welcome. I'm reading it again right now and giggling too. And believe me, I've been a basket case for two days now! |

Even Perez Hilton posted about Dee's firing. Marlena And John Get Axed From Days Posted Image Here's some news that's sure to send housewives across the nation into waling fits of despair. Even daytime TV is feeling the economic pinch! Days of Our Lives' stars Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn are getting the axe, victims of the show's recent massive budget cuts. That's right, they've been laid off! Famous for their portrayals of the popular Marlena and John, the tempestuous lovers will "be happily reunited after a long period of angst and separation and will be off-screen after January for an unknown period of time," according to exec producer Ken Corday. Corday adds that it was a "very tough decision to make." Days fans won't take this quietly!!! [Image via WENN.] |

I'm just numb to all things DAYS, at this point. After years of being burned by the show, I think I've finally reached the point where I genuinely just don't care anymore. It's a sad, sad time. |

Aww. How adorable! The thought of Deidre not being on Days anymore is to hard to imagine. :( |

I can't believe that they are letting them go. Tney are making another big mistake (as usual) letting them go. |

It's also in the New York Post. Deidre and Drake are definitely known outside the soap world, Deidre especially. I think if you stop any random person on the street and ask "Who's the star of Days of Our Lives?", they'd say "Deidre Hall", even if they've never watched an episode.
