And AZ wants it for Nicole too.

Article from Australian Soap Magazine.
Not to get off the subject here, but does anyone else get the feeling that AS is only leaving so that she can have a big return down the road with much fanfare and ado? Every interview with everyone on the show has mentioned that her exit is being written in such a way that she can return whenever she wants. I give her a year, tops.
I don't thinks its the reason she is leaving but I do believe she is leaving now to test the waters elsewhere because she ,like JS,is not getting any younger.Unless one is a character actor,women tend to have a shorter shelf life than men in the roles they are offered,and she knows she can come back so she is not really taking a risk.I see her coming back too because she is not talented enough to work movies,prime time series,or host a talk show unless she is one of many like the View .
Welllllllllllllllll, she DOES have a new toothpaste commercial.

Personally, the reason I put some blame on Fetch for the Ericole story sucking is because of how it's written. Ericole's scenes are rarely about them. The dialogue props Fetch constantly. They're not even allowed to have a marriage proposal without talking about Dan and Jen. Nicole's story would still suck, but at least they could talk about their own relationship and their individual issues. Instead, they're talking about how great Dan is. All. the. time. There's plenty of real drama for Eric and Nicole -- how is Eric dealing with his rape or with leaving the church, how is Nicole helping him adjust to a physical relationship, how about his family's dislike of her? We haven't gotten any of that yet, but we have gotten Ericole being audience members at The Dan and Jen Show.

Yes, the Ericole story sucks right now on its own, but it was going okay until they changed them to understudies in their own plot.
I don't like the four characters being tied at
the hip, and I'm tired of Daniel being the hero in every storyine, but it still doesn't change the fact that Nicole destroyed the evidence, killed a man for self-serving reasons, is lying, and will now apparently sleep with Eric without him knowing the full extent of the situation.

Nicole would be reverting back to her old ways of being a desperate, conniving schemer without Fetch being involved. That's on her.
She didn't kill Liam.

He fell back on a tree branch.
Ok, she attempted to kill him for self-serving reasons. I'm just tired of some trying to shift the blame away from Nicole and onto Daniel and Jennifer. They aren't th problem. If this story was Brady/Theresa/Eric/Nicole, instead of Fetch, it would still be Nicole's problem and responsibility. Removing Fetch doesn't change Nicole's character regression.
[/b]
Liam pointed a gun at Jennifer and Nicole.He pointed the gun in Nicole's face and at her midsection asking if she wanted to be shot in the head or gut.He asked Nicole and Jennifer who wanted to watch the other die.If Liam had been able to overcome Daniel physically,it is likely he would have killed Daniel,Jennifer,and Nicole.For these reasons I consider Nicole shooting at Liam to be self defense.It is not as if she walked up to him and Daniel and pointed the gun at Liam's head then fired.I hate the Nicole shreded the material that could have cleared Eric's name and provided evidence that Kristin raped him.I hate that Eric is trusing her,asking her to marry him,and planning a future with her under false pretenses but that does not make what happened with Liam attempt murder nor show that she intended to kill him.

As for careers?

Rafe and Carrie's Cat Rescuing Services?

(Seriously, though...some characters have careers on the show right now, obviously, but I suspect that nananana7 was thinking of something more along the lines of Jack and Jennifer's work as journalists back in the 90s, where that sort of thing was followed as a storyline of its own instead of just being pulled out when it served the purposes of a story, like the doctors, police detectives, and lawyers' careers are treated these days. Technically, we did follow Rafe and Carrie's journey to establish their own successful business together, but that was more about putting them together than anything else, really.)
Since the 90s was fourteen years ago.I am not holding my breath for Abby getting an empowering exciting career/adventure.Rafe and Carrie as partners was not an exciting career or exciting adventure regardless of its purpose.Again not holding my breath for anyone to get an exciting career/adventure.Gabi was a model.They made that dull.The spa was dull.The last semi exciting career storyline was when EJ was running for mayor and Nicole was helping him,and that was only tolerable because they made a good team.
Whatever happened with that modeling job offer for Gabi. Was n' t she supposed to go to Buenos Aires for a two week modeling stint. I do not remember them mentioning that again. Remember Gabi signed the contract and it was written in Spanish.

After spending twenty years on Days she should be able to remember thirty seconds of dialogue written for the commercial since most of the dialogue only shows the tooth brush and she does have a large toothy white smile.I never said she wasn't pretty.I said she cannot act.She does not have to be Meryl Streep in order to do a thirty second commerical.Lots of lesser known people do it all the time .If she wants to leave Days to do commercials that give her more time to spend with her family more power to her.

That is exactly my point.When I posted that I wanted Gabi to be pregnant with EJ's baby so Abby would have a story short term before EJ and Sami leave Salem and long term after they leave Salem because that story would also provide an additional story for the DiMeras,Horton,and Bradys and some issues for Abby,Ben and Chad,
Nananana7 posted that this story would not empower Abby they would write an exciting career or exciting adventure for Abby.I then raised the issue that in the five years I had been watching the writers had not written an exciting career or exciting adventure for any of the characters.Quite a few did not like Hope and John going back to Alamaina,the spa was boring,Gabi's intial modeling story was boring.Now they have managed to make a contract to model in South America for large sums of money boring and almost forgettabble.They didn't even have Nick mention the South America job as a reason for Gabi to want to move up the date of the custody hearing which actually would have made sense.They could have shown Gabi discussing plans to get a passport,new wardrobe,etc for her new job then have Nick bring up Arianna and moving the custody date forward.

I agree that Gabi being a model in Argentina would've been a great storyline. Why did they drop it?

WilSon wasn't allowed to have a honeymoon without discussing Nick's influence on Gabi. It was a valid concern, but really?

I blame tiic for all this. (the constant interference in both Ericole and WilSon)

Edited a few times for clarity.
I totally agree.

Thanks for correcting from Gabi to Abby.The posters here put more thought into the storylines than those actually writing for the show.I know Tomsell are head writers but you would think they would monitor what the writers are doing.It takes so little to make the story better just by putting some thought into the dialogue.They only had to show Gabi actually making preparations to leave the country which would naturally raise issues concerning the physical custody of the baby.As I said these writers do not do exciting career and/or exciting adventure on any level.They could have made the hospital stories and Liam stalking better by focusing more on Kayla,Hope,Rafe,Abe,and
Roman instead of Daniel.

If Sweeney is gonna have a steady, successful professional future outside of Days, it'll be as a reality, talk, or infomercial host, not as an actress. She seems to enjoy the lifestyle/advice stuff a lot more than acting now anyway.

We don't know that they have. Will and Sonny haven't mentioned going on a real honeymoon again since the wedding, but that isn't proof that the idea has been abandoned. Likewise, we can't assume that Gabi's modeling story has been abandoned just because we haven't heard anything else about it lately. As I recall, they never mentioned when the trip was supposed to occur.

But obviously, if Gabi ends up being Nick's killer, modeling agencies are soon going to be reconsidering their desire to work with her.

Sorry but AS is not talented enough for a reality or talk show although she might be able to handle informercials because there is a lot of interaction with others and people giving testimonials.She does not have the sort of easy demeanor of sucessful talk show hosts like Leno,Letterman,Ellen,Queen Latifah,Wendy Williams,etc.If Katie Couric after all her experience on Today did not have a sucessful talk show,I don't see how AS would be able to do so.She already had a reality show that lasted all of two months.
There have been quite a few sucessful soap stars who's popularity did not follow once they left the soap.Most who were able to make the transition can actually act.I love Shemar Moore in Criminal Minds although I never saw him while he was on Y&R.

I haven't watched it.The commercials turn me off.I didn't/don't watch Glee but I saw Jane Lynch in an old episode of Two and a Half Men and she was really good in the episode.Just asking but are you seriously saying that AS would be better at hosting Game Night than Jane Lynch?I would have to see it to believe it but I don't think I can bring myself to actually watch the show.

Thank you for clarification.I thought you saw some hidden quality that made AS appear to be a better host than Jane.

Edit: I don't think the people running NBC are that delusional.They took a chance and it worked out with TBL.They will ride that wave of success as long as possible then they will move on.I think they are mindful of a Yogi Berra saying:If it ain't broke,don't fix it.Which goes for TBL which appears to be popular and Game night which is still airing although I don't know whether the show is actually a success.
