Every "source of confirmation" is just reverting the news to Nelson Branco. I'd like to see confirmation by SOD before believing anything.

Diva of DOOL said she knew last week & chose to keep the info to herself out of respect for the family. Still not SOD confirmation, but it definitely wouldn't surprise me if others did know but chose to keep the information to themselves. For all we know, the news may indeed be true and Days has decided to rewrite the scripts instead of recasting Celeste. We'll have to wait and see.

If you look at when Nelson tweeted about Tanya, it would've been during his lunch with Molly, CC, Nadia, & Christa (@CMSM on twitter - she works at Days/NBC and sometimes posts spoilerish tweets about what she's seeing on the monitor, though she's usually bitching about something. One was about Carly's name being mentioned during Bo & Hope's therapy session & her latest seems to be her annoyance at Princess Gina's return. She's also CC's co-executive producer on Venice.)

You guys, I just googled Tanya Boyd and a ton of stuff came up saying "Pray for Tanya", "Tanya Boyd stroke", etc etc. it's on multiple sites. If it started as a rumor and spread then someone has some explaining to do. But, it looks to be true. I am very sad for her and praying for her health, friends and family. I love her so much. Not that there's ever a good time for a stroke but this is total crap timing. I was really looking forward to her. But SHE is who I really adore and I want her well. Bless her heart
Where did you see this...I just googled and yahooed her and there is NOTHING about her having a stroke? :shrug:
Mitch, good morning. Crap way to start the day, I know. Yesterday I googled Tanya Boyd Stroke and there were numerous headlines from soap boards and things like that. Mind you, all of the different places I saw the news listed DID reference "According to Nelson Branco" in them. So....I AM curious as to why SOD hasn't confirmed it and I really want to take it with a grain of salt. But the site SheKnows reported they knew of the stroke a week ago but decided not to report it for Ms Boyd's privacy but the douche went ahead and made it public....so they basically confirmed it. I'm still waiting on SOD but that's what I read yesterday. Very sad
:'( :'( :'( :'(

Horrible news!
I know. I am heartsick over it and wish someone would confirm or deny and let us know her condition. I just wanna know if she's ok. If Nelson was wrong about this then he should never even be allowed to have a Facebook account. But the SheKnows report is what made my heart drop. SOD will have to say something ASAP!

I just don't think a Celeste recast will work. Celeste is one of those characters that is only so popular because of Boyd's portrayal. I have a feeling this will be as welcomed as Brynn Thayer as Susan.

I've spent hours trying to come up with someone who could bring Celeste to life other than Tanya and I can't figure it out. Trust me, I don't want anyone but Tanya as my fabulous Celeste. But who could possibly do it? Alfrie Woodward? Would she do a soap? I don't know...I just wanna know how Tanya is before I get into recast talk.

Nelson is a jackass, but he was excited for Celeste to return, so I doubt he would report something like that without absolute confirmation.

I wouldn't call him the most reliable. Almost everything he reports comes to fruition, but he usually steals others stories. I think you can pretty much always trust him when it comes to NEWS, but not when it comes to personal things such as spats and he said, she said. So unfortunately I believe him 100% in this instance. I wish DAYS or Soap Opera Digest would confirm this just because there are so many worried fans. Its a real tragedy. There's never a good time for this, but right when they are planning to bring her back? That's the worst.

I also cannot think of ONE person to replace her that I would enjoy seeing. I hope they cut her return down to like two or three episodes and bring back some other character. Its hard to know what they had planned and if its even reversible. They might HAVE to recast and that's just sad.

Oh, no. I hope Tanya is ok! If this is true, I don't think they should recast the role. I don't think a recast would work, Celeste is such a unique character.

DAYS Recasts Celeste! By SOD • Posted: Jan 16, 2012

A mere week after DAYS announced that Tanya Boyd would be returning to the role of Celeste, a casting call was put out for the character. Despite Internet reports of health problems, a show spokesperson says, "Reports are incorrect. We were unable to move forward with Tanya due to scheduling conflicts." The show is now seeking a "65-75-year-old gorgeous African American female... She comes back to Salem to be with her family and help keep them safe.... Please submit very strong established name actors who can really dive into this material and make it their own." The recurring role is set to begin 1/17 for a 7-10 episode arc.

I hope SOD is correct but they may just be protecting Tanya's privacy. Interesting that Celeste is coming back to protect her family. I agree that Celeste will be hard to recast. I was thinking Diahann Carroll would be good but I doubt that Days could get her.

Are they seriously going to recast? That's simply impossible. Tanya owns this role. I hope she's okay !

I don't know if I'm buying that he was wrong yet. I surely hope that he is wrong about this. How can there be a scheduling conflict with someone that hasn't done anything in years? No offense to Tanya Boyd, but what is there scheduled? Just not buying it. I bet if it was her it would have been a recurring role that lasted a while. Since they have to recast they probably cut it to 7-10 days. I doubt they would have brought Tanya Boyd back for just 7-10 episodes. My excitement over this development has died completely.

I hate that he had to give out that false info of her having a stroke - what source in their right mind would make up something like that?? And if they were told that they should've double checked & made sure it was legit.

I'm so confused. Either way though, I hope Tanya is okay and I wish the show wouldn't recast. Their track record is just too poor lately.

I see what your saying here, I guess then I wonder why they would have to keep it a secret or lie that she had a stroke??

Just speculation, but it could be bad for her career if it's known she has health problems. Producers etc. could be reluctant to hire her.

I don't know if I buy it either. This could just be the show trying to protect her privacy.

Whatever the real story is, I'll be disappointed that we won't get to see Tanya. But I can understand why the show would have to re-cast. It sounds like they are ready to start shooting the Celeste stuff this week.
