Beth's Days page had a very comprehensive summary with sources. http://web.archive.org/web/20080828123415/http://www.bethsdayspage.com/days/missy.html Here's a portion of it - mods, let me know if too much of the article is quoted:

That's exactly my point. Even if Peter was played by another actor it would still be an issue. Missy is one of Corday's favorites, the last thing he wants it to make her uncomfortable so she leaves again. Phoenix also has a good point that maybe Jason Brooks doesn't want to come back either. Which is why I say don't recast. I really liked Peter but the best thing is to just let the character stay in the past, a past that happens to be the last successful era this show had. But he could, and should, still be mentioned if the situation calls for it, like the Stefano and EJ scenes last month. Pretending he never existed is an insult to all of us who watched. The same goes for other characters like Cassie and Rex. |

Janet Iacobuzio Seeing some nasty comments out there about the DOOL win, a lot of it from fellow writers. A great submission won. It happens. Now be nice. And gracious. You know who you are. Smiley face. |

^She's right. I'm not a MarDar fan at all but that episode was very good. I can see why they won for it. I'm guessing the negativity is coming from other shows and that is just classless. Not like Y&R and GH don't have enough Emmy wins as it is. I agree with Sindacco that they should at least mention characters like Peter, Rex, and Cassie. I will say this, though. If the show has no intention of getting Peter back, I would prefer they just kill him off. Have Kristen return and mention how he got killed. Maybe they could say that she escaped and went to break her brother out of jail since she needed an ally to help in her plans. During the escape, he was killed. Something like that. I just hate having characters languishing about somewhere if there is little chance, if any, of them ever returning. It would be different if there was some sort of substantial chance that he could but it doesn't seem that way. |

Classy. Would have loved to see JER get a shoutout at the Emmys, even though I wasn't a big fan of his work. |

Wow - so other writers are being shitty about the DAYS writing win? I agree, it's not like the other shows don't have enough Emmys. I think it's great that episode won. |

It's a shame they couldn't be there to accept the Emmy. For all the crappy things MarDar did - they will still go down in history as the team that won DAYS their first writing Emmy in 30 plus years. |

That is a classy speech. I wish they could've delivered it live. There tenure hasn't been good but you only need one good episode to win and that episode was worthy. They did something never done in 30 years and it is quite the accomplishment given how the odds are always stacked against Days at the emmy's.

It does seem from that tweet that the win was based mainly on a good episode being submitted, more than overall good writing. Perhaps the show should take a look at the episode that won. Though eggbaby is on that episode, there are other, very powerful, things that deservedly netted the win. Psst . . . Jack, PTSD, Jennifer . . . |

Monkey Paw: Eileen Davidson returns as Kristen/Susan only to be written by Tomlin & Whitesell. Discuss. |

Now see, this is something I don't understand, even though I've been a big fan or hers (grain of salt, as I'm more a JnJ fan than an MR fan). But she isn't in the young bracket. They've done the story of Jennifer moves on from Jack, like, seven times already. Dan/Jen haven't been ratings gold. Shoot, did MR's return do a darn thing for ratings? At least there was a bump with the returns in September. If the show won't use what could be a powerful story for JnJ, why insist on keeping her and not shipping her off with MA? I think it's odd. |

When it comes to the Best Writing Emmy, I think they should have to submit a full week of episodes. It's easy to write one decent stand-alone episode, but it's a little harder to write five episodes in a row that are cohesive and compelling and consistent with story threads that aren't dropped and characters whose personalities don't change every five minutes. That's part of what they should be judged on. Soaps are serials. The stories don't start and end in one episode, so why should they be judged on only one episode for the Emmy? |

If Peter comes back with a new face and a new identity and kills Daniel for sniffing after Jennifer, I could see some point to his presence. Especially if Jack then comes back from wherever and takes on Peter. Other than that, I'm not convinced the character's that vital to the show. Kristen always seemed to be the more dominant Blake sibling. |

Glad to see MARDAR's very well written acceptance speech, but do I even have to ask why they didn't attend the Emmys? What could they possibely be doing, not to go to the Emmy's? Despite was went down with the show, if MARDAR were nominated, they should have been there, it is a once in a lifetime thing. Not thrilled with MARDAR's writing style, but Jack's breakdown was one of their best work, given that MA is a top actor and rocked his scenes out the park, which probably helped. Company politics & DAYS should be ashamed. I wonder why they talk highly of Corday & Meng? Would they talk nicely about ppl who tossed them? I wonder who was truly responsible, I'm thinking it was NBC/Sony. Edited by Dreamer, Jun 26 2012, 10:59 AM.

THIS is agree with. A full week of episodes for writing (especially if it's going to the whole team) would be ideal. Ditto for other "team" awards like directing, best series, makeup, hair, etc. |

The monkey paw I'm most worried about is Kristen returns and the writers write her as obsessed with Rafe/Dan and fights to have them. :puke: I am literally frightened to death over this possibility. |

Eh. You see what GH does. They usually do a week long stunt that is Emmy bait. A show can easily write a week's worth of good shows, especially if they know that is what it takes. I suppose it's better than one good episode though. There is no way to do it where it works well in determining a real winner. I think the most fair thing to do would be to not submit anything and have the voters have to watch the shows at random times a year. In other words, keep it quiet and don't tell the shows when the voters are watching the shows. They can maybe tune in for one week every 3 months or something and take their observations into account, write them down on a survey form or something, and choose a winner based on that. I would do that for drama and directing too. That way shows can't just produce Emmy bait. You should be judged on your CONSISTENT work and something like this would motivate shows to be good all year round. Edited by PhoenixRising05, Jun 26 2012, 11:02 AM.
