#salem is out of coffee...
Double U tee eff?
I know the coffee pots they have on set are actually used by the cast and crew. Maybe they ran out? Lol.

I remember a story Brandon Beemer said once, that's why. When he was new, he thought the coffee station at the hospital set was just a prop - he saw a stirring stick on the ground, and went to put it back with the others, and Peter Reckell was all disgusted. :laugh: PR had to tell him they actually used the stuff on the table! Haha!

Yeah either something goes down at CG or literally they ran out of coffee on set. Hmmmmmm. i'm hoping or the prior since it means some type of Sonny involvement but that probably means it the latter then :lol: .
No offense, but I don't want to see Freddie Smith in a "Oh no! I ran out of coffee!" SL! :lol:

Unless Eileen Davidson, Ken Corday, and Sony all release statements saying Tomlin had anything to do with her return than I will never believe that. NBC even though I don't like them I can believe. Greg Meng, I could believe. Gary Tomlin? Nah.

If the stories that we heard about how Sony basically dicked Eileen Davidson out at Y&R and sent her to DAYS are true, then it was someone with real power that made this happen. Not someone like Gary Tomlin.
Well I think he did have something to do with it...both Corday/Meng and NBC were around when Davidson was available for those 6 months back when she was first fired from Y&R and they did NOTHING....

TomSell is the only difference between then and now and look BAM...fired from Y&R..back at DAYS.
Actually, I think DMF67 has a point.

One other big difference since 2006 is Bruce Evans, SVP at NBC, who, by all accounts, is running the show these days. He's the one who fired MarDar (and according to them, mucked around in their stories) and he's the one who brought back TomSell. He's most likely the one who finagled the deal with Sony -- not Tomlin.

Regardless of whether he had any roe in her return, we'll see how you feel after you see what Tomlin churns out as a story for ED/Kristen. If there's one thing I have confidence in, it's my lack of confidence in his talent/caring/writing ability.

Give it a few months.

The problem is that every one of us has been disappointed by a return or two or three. No matter which character or couple you're a fan of, you've had cause to be unhappy. Important and much loved characters have returned, but their stories have left a lot to be desired.

Tomlin and Whitesell need more than a story that grabs us. They need beginning, middle, end. They need to tie characters in with family and friends. They need to give them understandable motivations for the things they do. They need a clear plan so they don't flounder around and lose focus.

I doubt Tomlin had much, if anything, to do with Kristen's return. And, even if he did, I refuse to give him credit for it (or anything else good), anyway.

Could mean the place burns down or gets shut down for some reason. I am always up for Sonny story since it hasn't happened in a year on the show but supposedly he has things coming up... The tweet probably meant nothing so it probably makes no difference.

Well we don't know one way or another at this point, and probably never will.

I don't care who got that deal done or if it was a communal thing, I am just thankful it has happened and for anyone who had even the smallest part in helping it along.

I do think Tomlin had at least a little something to do with getting ED back. It can't be a coincidence that the show started going after her right when he and Whitesell were re-hired. Y&R hadn't even let her go yet and Days was already trying to get her back. The timing of it coincided perfectly with MarDar's firing and TomSell's re-hiring.

I'm super excited about ED's return, but I have little to no faith in Tomlin.

He's the one who brought us the BOOB we call Rafe.

I'll never forgive him for that.

I think MarDar would have killed to have Kristen on their DAYS. I'm glad they didn't get it, but I believe they would have loved that character. I don't think its a coincidence, but I don't think it has a thing to do with Tomlin. He was EP before and they didn't make this happen. This is basically a desperation grab from someone at NBC or Sony or even Corday himself. Not headwriter Gary Tomlin. If I ever found out it was Tomlin's doing I would apologize and thank him times 1000, but no part of me can see this as his work. I just hope he writes for the character the way Eileen Davidson deserves to be written for and doesn't make a mockery of the character and the actress. If he does that I will be thrilled.

I would have to agree with Kenny and those who think Tomlin/Whitsell had a role in getting Kristen back on the canvas. They were probably told to figure out a story for John and Marlena.

I'm surprised there isn't a picture of Eileen when she came into the studio in front of the Days sign before she went into hair and make up, that would be a great teaser that would SPOIL nothing. Hope someone at the show thinks of doing that for everyone.

Oh good lord, just more proof that we are headed back to 2009-2011. If GG is happy, I can pretty much guarantee it's going to suck donkey balls.

I agree.

Plus, she's the kind of character Tomlin and Whitesell would love to write for. They clearly like their rich, evil families and like writing for the Dimera's. She's a Dimera and a very soapy character. They like those kind of characters. MarDar wouldn't have wanted her. Remmeber, they were into "unsoaping the soap." She wouldn't fit into their universe unless she was forced on them and there was no signs of any Kristen return until MarDar were axed and we heard Tomlin and Whitesell were brought back. Shortly after that is when rumblings began of her return.
