JKJ hasn't looked that into his scenes in quite awhile anyway...... Let's see what Passions actor could they possibly get to fill this role?

Hot on the heels of the news that DAYS got a pickup (at an extremely reduced fee from NBC), Digest has learned that negotiations between the show and Jay Kenneth Johnson (Philip) have broken down and the actor cleared out his dressing room yesterday. Money is said to be the main issue. "Everyone is being asked to take a paycut," reports an insider. Sources say the show is looking for a potential recast and actors are being brought into the studio today to read. A DAYS spokesperson says, "No comment." http://www.soapoperadigest.com/news/breaking/ Weird. Can he really just leave so easily? I understand the contract talks can broke down, but he still has to stay till his current contract ends, hasn´t he? Otherwise the show can sue him. They can end an actors contract after every 13 week period. Yes, I know. But the actors cannot. That´s why all the newbies are immediatelly given a three year contracts. And this sounds like JKJ is the one who left, forcing the show looking for a quick recast.

Although, I must say that if he's not willing to be a team member, just like everyone else, then he should go. All of the other actors are willing to take paycuts. What makes him so special?

Yeah, The show can choose to end an actor contract every 13 weeks but an actor can't up and leave every 13 weeks. He started in January 2007 so he probably started filming in December so who knows when his contract is up.

Knowing DAYS, they most likely promised him one salary, and then changed it at the last minute because of the budget cuts.

I guess I'll take what I can get--that's what the show has taught me to do.

Let them keep taking on Passions' rejects while talented, recognizable actors go, and see where it gets them. Budget my ass. STOP HIRING OTHER MALES IF IT'S SUCH A PROBLEM. Ugh.

Now demanding more money would be wrong but lets be honest most of us wouldn't take a pay cut at our jobs if we could go somewhere else and make the same.

I understand they have story planned for Philip, but they stuck gold with the pairing of Johnson and Shelley Henning thus far. Who knows if the recast will have the same chemistry with Henning. And like Tripp said, I don't want to see Henning leading this couple/triangle. She sucks.

Posts: 12,448 Group: Veteran Member #46 Joined: June 14, 2007	I'm predicting the role of Philip Kiriakis will be recast with either James Stevenson (ex-Jared, PSNS) or Mark Cameron Wystrach (ex-Fox, PSNS).

Between the two, my money's on Wystrach - since he's the less talented, and that's clearly what DAYS is going for now. Edited by Mason, Nov 14 2008, 02:12 PM.

I don't know what they are doing but Days is rapidly heading for the grave which is really sad!!!! :soapbox:

What makes him so special? To be fair, it´s his carreer. He is good enough and loking good enough to make it on primetime the way Jensen Ackles did. I´m pretty sure his acting agent was begging him on his knees to leave the show and try primetime while he still has the time. It´s bad for the show because Gary Tomlin just started to build the entire new generation stories around him. It´s also weird because he seemed to be quite happy with the direction lately and he was working a lot.
