I am sure that if this is un/true, then we will know about soon. But this was just revealed to me not too long ago. Even though Bo/Reckell have a huge story coming, it could be possible with the direction Corday is sending this show! Thoughts?

It'd surprise me since Corday seems to really like Bo/Hope out of all the veteran couples. I don't know, this would be extreme for Days to pretty much drop all of the Big Four. And it'd be far more expensive to have them OFF contract but still appear. It makes me wonder if their airtime would diminish and it'd feel like they were gone too.

Becuase if they're on recurring, that means the show has to pay them per episode. And that can't be cheap. That's why recurring actors that are going to be featured heavily in an upcoming storyline are bumped up to contract, because it's cheaper to pay them a salary, rather than per episodes.

Look at how Victor sometimes disappears for months on end for no good reason. That's what would happen with Bo and Hope and if either found another job, Days would have to recast or they would disappear like Mickey. Then again if Dool would only give them one day guarantees (aka 50 shows a year) I can see Peter and Kristian preferring the option of getting other work.

Days as we know it is over. Recurring at DAYS isn't like recurring at another soap. recurring at DAYS is holidays and a few throw away scenes a year.

Run Peter! Run Kristian! Run FREE!!! Don't look back! Let Days burn down to the ground! Edited by Nubia, Nov 17 2008, 08:14 PM.

Kristian does have her jewelry line to keep her busy (she is always making appearances across the country for it) and I heard a long time ago that she wants to spend more time with that. Victor/John Aniston is recurring because he choses to be. He does not want a contract. Of course, this is all still just a rumor for now.

And Corday knows he has to keep at least one Edited by Rick, Nov 17 2008, 08:16 PM.

And also more harmful to the show. I really hope it's not true.

Their story has been... oh wait, they haven't really had a story.

Sharongate, bitches! Posts: 13,105 Group: Veteran Member #44 Joined: June 14, 2007	Isn't most of the GL cast recurring? Sometimes recurring actors get the most episodes or close to the most episodes per month on that show, maybe DAYS is trying to implement a similar model?

Posts: 2,170 Group: Elite Member Member #120 Joined: July 2, 2007	I've heard alot that Stephen/Mary Beth are the cheapest out of all the older super couples. And now...I am not saying whoever said this is lying or wrong or anything...not discrediting any sources, and I have been proven wrong with Days lately, but this is just my personal opinion... I don't think they'd do this. Again maybe I'll be proven wrong, its just too much at once, and I'd think Tomlin would be smart enough to at least keep them. And Corday actually seems to like Bo and Hope, would Tomlin really be able to talk him into pretty much dropping ALL of the Big Four? I don't know, its just I'd think Tomlin/Corday would be much wiser than to drop them all within several days. Say what you will about them, but they ARE competent enough to comprehend this. If not...well, I will be shocked.
