Drew, I'm, not really disagreeing with you. I'm already know we disagree about Shelle and I will just leave it at that. I'm just pointing out how I saw it. I know nothing more then anyone else and I'm not the only one who posted reasoning like this. Many of us felt Corday was going to go after Cook and maybe even Storms. There has also been rumors that the show didn't like the chemistry between Martha and Brandon. No one really knows. I know OBK mentioned something about this too. I've heard rumors all over the place about it but I doubt it was budget cuts. How much could they really cost? Corday wouldn't cut from the next generation for budget reasons. That is hard for me to buy. Besides, it was reported by SON and pretty much everyone that it was a creative decision, not a budget one. And your right in that Scott and Zucker can be replaced. All I was saying was that they are on the frontburner right now and this story is the show's major focal point. I think even a recast of EJ and/or Nicole would hurt the show big time based on that reasoning. This show has been through enough turmoil and the show's A story taking a hit would not be good. That is all I was saying, especially with the show supposedly going with the future and building around people like Ari and James. That's all. Sorry if I upset you LOL. |

That's a stupid theory, that I don't believe at all. You have two actors (Madison and Johnson) with great chemistry and a growing fanbase. Lets fire half of that couple (Madison), piss off, not only her new fanabse, but also her old fanbase (Shawn and Belle). That's real bright. Corday's an idiot, yes, but he's also a businessman and knows a popular duo when he sees one. The only real and logical reason that makes the most sense to me is that Brandon Beemer and Martha Madison did not get along well on the set. That's the only thing that makes sense to me. One of them or both of them, for that matter, was difficult to work with and so they were both canned. Brandon Beemer found work, yet, Madison can't seem to get anything and she was the "more talented" one. Me thinks that there are rumors circulating the daytime world and sources at DAYS threw some of those whispers about what may have happend on set with Madison to the other shows and they're staying clear of Ms. Madison. And another thing that just came to me. A 13 week cycle is usally about every three months. Martha Madison came onto the show in August 2004, which means her contract cycle probably began in July 2004. That means she's up for contract negotiations in July, correct? Okay. So lets say that her contract was up in July 2007. Madison demanded a pay raise and Corday obliged because she was part of a popular couple. She was given the pay raise. Then, in the new year and in January, one of Madison's 13 week cycle is now complete and she was given the boot. And since Cordays his this reasoning, for whatever reason, that certain characters can't exist without their romantic partner, he canned Beemer as well. Now that's logical.

I'm not anybody but who I say I am LOL. Do people really think I'm Corday or Higley? Wow...LOL. If I was, I would be living in a better house and not in Central New York LOL. It's nothing too earth shattering and I only brought it up because you kind of brought me to do so. It's just something I think will shock people who I've debated with. I've been thinking about it for awhile and said I would do this when I felt the time was right for me and the time may soon be right. |

I used to buy that Madison and Beemer were fired because Corday didn't like the growing support for Phelle, but considering how popular Shimi was when they were first paired and the fact that Corday fired no one then, that theory no longer washes with me. |

And that is another thing that has made the rounds around the net. There were also rumors of Martha being awfully rude to Alexis Thorpe too. It's definitely puzzling but the one thing I feel sure it wasn't was budgetary reasoning. I could see them using that as an excuse but I doubt that was the case. |

:eyeroll: Are you serious? Didn't we just have a discussion about this not long ago, and you had people going off on you because you mentioned info that you had, but wouldn't tell? Why even mention it then? |

Why would he have to? JER destroyed Shimi on his own when he had Mimi keep the secret. Corday probably knew that was coming. Not to mention last year there was even growing support of Shawn/Chloe. That as much as Phelle but many were starting to like them. Corday is really that much of a moron. I mean, this is the same guy who sacrifices story potential all the time. His pushing Martha and Brandon out for reasons some of us are mentioning is not exactly uncharacteristic of him. |

It's not inside info, Drew. Nothing like that at all. It's about Days and based on what we are seeing. It's actually something that is supposed to be a little fun too. Damnit, Kenny. Why the hell did you have to go and get me into trouble? :laugh: |

Good point. That was before the 2006 cuts. I still think he knew Shimi had no chance. They were awfully rushed and it was clear it was merely just a way of keeping Shelle apart in addition to Philip. |

And if he's not going to, or doesn't feel the time is right, he shouldn't have said anything until the time was right. |

Tim, you have my antennae on overload. And hello! I truly believe Corday axed Madison and Beemer because he wanted Kirsten Storms and Jason Cook back. At the time, KS was in new negotiations with GH and ultimately decided to stay. Cook, from what I've heard, wouldn't go back to Days if his life had depended on it. |
