Is it July 24th yet????????????????????
How well I remember all the "Is it Sep. 26 yet?" posts.

I am not excited when SC, JS, and CD are the ones singing Tomlin's praises. JS just because I'm sick of EJ on the front burner, and Tomlin knows who EJ is? EJ can be anything. He's completely inconsistent.

This certainly makes it sound pretty concrete that Tom/Sell have a big roll in next week's shows, including the cliffhanger. I like that SC mentions they 'stay true' to what's been created...it doesn't appear we're in for a jarring difference come August. :)

And confirmation that GV is playing Eric = awesome!

Thanks Kenny!
We actually got all this information last month. It's not concrete because there's still conflicting information out there from other people.
I remember CC mentioning TomSell wrote her last scenes. What else have I missed? What is the conflicting info?
MA said he never saw a TomSell script. PR and KA said at their event that they hadn't seen one either. If it weren't for those statements we'd have known all along when TomSell's stuff started because CC told us about her last one being their first one.

I completely missed the part about Stefano. I really feel like I should sue TomSell and MarDar for wasting the last year and a half of my soap life.
Let's make it a class action suit.

Also, SC's statement is obviously false if JM is returning.

of course James is a fan of Tomlin. It's under Tomlin that he gets to be on 90-95% of the episodes. As for Tomlin knowing characters well....ummm... riiiight.... that's why, under his direction, Bo became a hollow shell of man without a soul (pardon the Celine Dion lyric quote), Hope became a drug-induced anti-man mugger, Jack (off screen) was a complete loser that didn't give a crap about his family, the list goes on. I wouldn't be surprised if OOC Bo returns, & we know Jack is pretty much gone the min Tomlin officially takes over. NOT impressed at all. I don't see the ratings going up after the official take-over date, except maybe for the cliffhanger/post-cliffhanger since they're essential writing transition stunts.

Edited to add observation: no John, Marlena, Bo, Hope, Jen mention in that blurb & it doesn't seem like there will be reactions on the writing change from Drake, Dee, Peter, Kristian, or Missy in the actual article.

Kristen and Stefano return! That's about all I found worth looking forward to in this. Everything else can go scratch.

So are you thinking they were writing some scripts and not others? Or just writing some scenes to be inserted into the already exising MarDar scripts?

So Tomsell wrote the cliffhanger? Sounds great. I'm a smidge hopeful they aren't going to break my neck on these changes in direction, especially ejami :) I'm not getting too excited b/c I don't trust Tomsell as far as I can throw them but who knows.

What a sad thing that DAYS cannot be original and keep Stefano, who's done in my opionion storyline wise, DEAD! Rest sounds good except I am worried about no mention of John, Marlena, Bo, Hope, Jennifer, Abe, Maggie & Victor, or Roman or Caroline. Sounds like possibly more of the same. Sarah Joy Brown(Madison), Christie Clark(Carrie) & Matt Ashford(Jack) should've NEVER been fired, Ian Buchanan(Ian) either for that matter. The money they're paying Joe Mascolo could've went to keep some of these, along with not bringing back Blake Berris(Nick), who was over-rated and fugly imho.

Please write 4 Bryan Dattilo, Give him a love interest.

I am happy that Blake is coming back. I got to meet him once and he's very sweet. I have tweeted him several times and he's always been real sweet and tweeted back. I hope they give him some great material to work with, he dereves it!

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep

None of the above. I'm thinking they took over amidst chaos and no one had a clue what was going on until about two weeks ago.

My guess for why none of those vets were mentioned is because they don't matter in Tomlin's world. Sami/EJ/Lucas/Rafe will get the A stories & be on 4-5 days/week & the vets will alternate & we'll see them once every few weeks. With the exception of Marlena who will give Will & Sami advice. & then when Kristen comes back John & Marlena will get some B story that will maybe get 2-3 days/week, but not consistently every week.
I have no doubt that the balance between the characters will go back to the way it was before Tomlin & Higley were fired a year ago. You can see it already come through in the rewrites.

What's worse is that their version of Stefano is absolutely horrific. Theyll bring him back and neuter him again.

Okay, more things in there made me happy than unhappy. Actually nearly everything thrilled me. Especially confirming Greg Vaughan as Eric Brady and FINALLY confirming Joe Mascolo's return. The only thing that could have made this better would have been a mention of Lorraine Broderick and Matt Ashford.

The negatives are the fact that Tomlin is still Gary Tomlin. I guess I have to accept that and hope for the best! Been a while since I've seen him as a HW, hopefully he can pull it off.
