I am so happy, ED is back on DAYS!!! Even if its NB confirming it, there were a lot "hints" indicating ED was back. Besides, she did state that she would love to return to DAYS as well to revisit Kristen.

Honestly, if true, I am not surprised with Y&R/Sony/ED/DAYS situation. Y&R has always been a bit of a snob because they are #1 Soap and look, they were not happy with the Emmy's this year!

As for CM, I think his storyline will be back-burner for now but he's not leaving. Maybe Gay-less means not a front-bunner storyline & NOT CM leaving!

Wow. So we were right. Sony knew Days needed her more than Y&R and was willing to let her work on both shows (which Eileen said she would be happy to do), but Y&R got pissy about it and that's what led to her "firing."

The fact that Days fought so hard to get her makes me hopeful the show actually has a plan in place for her return. They wouldn't have gone after her so hard if they didn't actually have a story for her.

Whatever the case, I just hope Nelson's source is right and the deal is done.

Still waiting for official confirmation...

This is what he posted regarding Gay-Less Days

• Gay-less DAYS: Several sources attest that DAYS will be throwing Will and his
homosexuality on the backburner despite Chandler Massey’s Emmy win and the
show’s Best Writing Emmy. Too bad because Massey is expected to leave the
serial when his contract expires.

No way I believe this.
So I wonder if only the gay storyline is on the backburn and not the character of Will.... :shrug:

It would be nice if the show would explore what being gay means to Will, especially since he's a member of, well, at least the Hortons and Brady legecy and if you reeeaallly stretch Dimeras (since Johnny and Sydney are Dimeras). And please tell me someone in the Catholic Brady family is uncomfortable at first for awhile. Was this Roman's reaction?

Sooner or later, we need some clarity about this "mess" of a show? Who is REALLY out? (Bo?) Who is REALLY in? (Stefano? Kristen?) And when will the storylines REALLY improve?

Now ED fans (I include myself) can complain in about 6 months when their fave is trashed for those with "favored status." Hey maybe she can be be pregnant or have cancer or have a heart transplant...and guess who'll be there to "pick up the pieces" aka have sex...DR. TAN! LOLOLOLOL

Will and Sonny are the one storyline that hasn't been rehashed, rewritten, regurgitated, redone, and revised.

They are an important couple not only for DAYS but for daytime!!

The fact that DAYS was willing to accept having her on a rival soap ALSO I think speaks volumes to how badly then want her back.

This has always been an issuE for Days keeping and writing for their younger talent the last few years. Trust me I would not be shocked if NBC blamed part of the ratings issue on Wills being gay. Abc pulled that same crap with Kish on OLTL blaming them not that JPL/FF nonsense with Crystal Hunt for their ratings skid.

I really want her back on DAYS... but how "good" is it going to be if she doesn't even want to be there??? :shrug:
I don't think she would come back if she didn't want to be there. No one is holding a gun to her head and forcing her to sign the contract. She's said in the past that she would willing to do both Days and Y&R. If Nelson's report is correct, Sony was willing to let her do that, but Y&R didn't want to share her. In the end, Sony saw that she was more valuable to Days (seeing as how Ashley is so wasted on Y&R) and Y&R was like "screw it then, let her go."

I just hope Days offered her a decent enough deal to make the switch worth it.

Sometimes, I'd like to go back in time and give everyone behind the scenes at ATWT a hug. Luke and his love life were a part of the canvas until the bitter end, whatever issues there were with the storyline or how they handled it. They stuck to their guns.

I hope they don't back down on the gay storyline, but of course if the agenda is to kill the show, killing Kish only helped along the death of OLTL.

Lots of people seem really excited about the start of a Will and Sonny romance. Others find EJill fascinating. CM is clearly a favorite of the writers. It makes absolutely no sense that they'd backburner Will or even deny him a love life. But then, this is Days.

With or without ED, this show needs help -- quickly. Better writing, realistic storylines, consistent characters, focus on core families -- all the things we were promised one year ago and never got!

Where's Kenny?!?! Posted Image
LoL, I'm here. I'm containing my excitement until we get official word from the show that the deal is done. The last thing I want to do is jinx it by celebrating too soon.

Exactly. This is DAYS. So if you are looking for logic or quality, keep looking!

I think ED is a professional and has wanted to come back to DAYS. She was huge back in the 90s, so why wouldnt she want to come back. Regardless she an actress and DAYS are giving her TWO roles...I think she's happy.

You know, when Brynn Thayer did that small bit part being Susan, I swear I read somewhere (SOD maybe?) that DAYS had asked Kristen to do that bit part and that she would have loved to do it but Y&R wouldn't let her. At the time, that made me think that she would have enjoyed coming back to DAYS.

Interestingly. Sounds like Sony really wants to save Days! That's good. But then why hire T/W? What about Thom Racine?!

I agree that ED is a good actress, but I really didn't like the JERk years. He drove me away as a young girl, because I thought it was getting too campy. I thought it was ridiculous how many different characters they made ED play. I also found it unbelievable that she didnt want to be married to Tony. He was dreamy. :wub:

I wonder if this means a return to the camp of JERk? Especially with Meng saying he liked Marlena's possession story line the most. :puke:

I hope they give ED/Kirsten good meaty story, and only bring Susan for a few episodes. Susan was too campy for my taste. But I'm not watching anyway, so whatever. If the remaining fans want Susan, give them Susan!
