Love Deidre and her FB page. I don't think her request was any big deal at all. I never post there, but I totally enjoy her posts and interaction with others' questions. Love her BowmanHall site with Lynne, too. They are both a lot of fun.

I like Deidre but I have no doubt that she's a diva. Why else did she get special billing and was the only actress who used to be given the soft focus lighting?
LOL I've read almost every single article and interview about her that's ever been done (yes really) and this is the first I've ever heard of "soft focus lighting". Sounds like a rumor to me. As for the special billing, it's a contract negotiating point like anything else. Days says, "We'll pay you ___." Deidre's agent says, "How about ___?" Days says, "How about our original offer with her name at the end of the credits?" Deidre's agent says, "Deal." In other words - it's a way to pay her less.
The "fuzzy lens" rumor has been going around for several years now!

I don't really know what that means (though it sounds like something I wish they'd use on a few people), but wouldn't that be obvious on screen?

I agree, soft focus for all! I despise HD clarity.

Nope. That would be Ali Sweeney. Who demanded her pregnancy to be written in. And Dena did, as if Ali was the boss and Dena was her servant. Even though the story sucked. But hey, Ali told Dena what to do! And now Sami has three kids under the age of 7...because Dena did what she requested.

Well, technically they could both be divas. AS being one wouldn't make DH not one. I have no idea if either is (well...I do have an idea about one of them, but I think things have changed since that time), but I do think that both of them and every other actor on the show have different personalities than most fans expect.

Well, technically every actor could be considered a "Diva". I'm sure they all have requests we don't know about that affects the show. If rumors are true that James Scott got his storyline changed, he could be considered a DIVA. If the Kristian rumors from "The Globe" are true, she might be a DIVA. I know Tony Geary requests complete summers off, and gets his way. Eric Braeden apparently has a clause in his contract that says he gets a new leading lady every so often so he doesn't have to consistently be paired with MTS.

I've never heard of outlandish DIVA storyline demands being made by DH. In fact, wasn't she hesitant about The Posession at first? And she wasn't wild about being held in a cage by Stefano. Yet she did it. And JER knew what he was doing as evident by those ratings.

I'm happy that Peter's got the full goatee again, and not just the beard without the mustache. He's not Bo Brady without it.

I wonder if she was referring to the scenes that aired this past week? Because didn't we just see Kate filming scenes with the new doctor and Molly/Chad?

that pic is kinda deceiving. I believe Peter still has the full beard, not just a goatee.
