I just realized apparently GV and ED have the same b-day. So, if Jen was making a cake for GV it sounds like either Eileen isn't working today or perhaps she's done taping altogether. |

Sigh. Kristen hasn't even started airing yet, I don't want to think about her leaving already... Lol. Although maybe they'll continue to bring her in for little mini-arcs to kick up a few good stories every now and then, which I could get on board with. A little bit of Kristen is better than no Kristen at all! |

I'd be on board for mini-Kristen arcs, or limited arcs involving many of the shows vets and core family members. Say what you want about the crappy writing on GH lately, but the mini-story arcs involving vets and beloved characters are done pretty well. I don't see why Days doesn't do this more often, especially for funerals and weddings. I am sure many of these actors would agree to come back for a guest stint, or even be recurring. It's not like the show would have to put them on contract. |

I don't think that's necessarily the case. I think ED would have posted something about wrapping up on Days, once she's done it. It's probably a case of her not working on a Monday, she's there usually two days a week. |

i don't think she will. I mean, she wasn't going to say anything last time except Ken spilled the beans. Of course there were clues (vacationing during a non-dark week, the pic at the beach) but I think she's far more careful about letting things out than others. |

I have to say, while in her particular case I would love to have Kristen in mini arcs than no Kristen at all, I *really* dislike the GH way of doing things. It feels so disjointed and ruins the whole show, there is no bigger picture there, it's just everyone's 15 minutes of fame, and they're standing in a line, and once they're done nobody knows if they'll ever be seen again.... don't like that kind of storytelling at all and I really hope this show doesn't go down that road.... I actually wouldn't even want that for Kristen.... I rather she's either there or she's not.... not some sort of revolving door..... |

But... that's not anything that would be a slip up, it's normal to tell when you've wrapped up, and also it's courteous, I don't think she would let people intentionally think she's still filming if she's not.... |

I'm not happy about this Melanie returning business at all, but clearly the writing is on the wall! Her photo in Dr. Feelgood's apartment was very prominent in Friday's episode, and they've made way too many references to her lately (and not only to tie things up with Gabi). I've got a feeling she's already returned, perhaps with the Chad recast, and they've done a good job about keeping mum about it. I'm betting we will see her sooner than the holidays which they should be currently taping. Yes, there is a large gap with much of the young adult crowd off the show, and with EJami exiting soon too, but that doesn't mean that gap has to be filled by useless, annoying characters. I think I'd rather see Mimi and Rex, Stephanie and Nathan, and Creepy Uncle Max come back before Melanie and Chad, and that's saying a lot! |

You know, this makes me think that we really need to do an EJ's most pathetic scenes list before he exits. I'm not sure anything can top the "kiss the ring" scene, but there's still time. |

if they want to keep the timeline of the future story underwraps, Days could ask her not to say anything. I don't think it's unusual to keep that underwraps. |

Well, I suppose no.... but I still hope that doesn't happen... I mean, even though it's bad knowing she's leaving, it's worse to not even know about it... |

I see your point to some degree. It took months for Lucy and Scotty's affair to come out, with neither of them, or Kevin, Mac and Felicia, being onscreen for long periods of time. And the show does tend to use them as mid-week filler. But I would still take that and pop-up Bobbie Spencer over nothing at all. I think they tend to do the villain arcs (like Jerry Jacks) better than the heroic vets standing around with nothing to do. If you can tie them in to the current story lines and involve multiple characters, I think it could be done well on Days (probably not with these writers though). I liked seeing Jen going to visit her mother Laura (as much as I cant stand Jen), and Kim and Shane coming back for 2 days when Theresa overdosed. Granted they should have been used more, but it was still nice to see them. How cool would it be to have Will and Sonny take Arianna to Europe to visit with Carrie, Austin, and meet Will and Ari's new cousin? Or better yet, find a way to do some mystery, or even an issue-related story related to all the characters (especially Hortons) who have been shipped off to Africa! |

I don't have the tweet on hand right now but I saw Eileen tweet recently that she's been quiet because she's dealing with family matters relating to her sister's death a few months ago (then she mentioned her niece died on Mother's Day). |

Oh my goodness, how awful for her! I can see why she wouldn't want to be on social media 24/7 talking about her work projects. I've grown to have a lot of respect for Eileen from her tweets and interviews, she's a class act and my thoughts are with her and her family as they go through a rough time. |

I think, TPTB ask actors not to announce certain things or "recommend" when to share the news. Of course, actors are free people and they can choose what to do, especially when they leave the show. I think, that's why we usually hear months ahead about them leaving but not so often about them joining the show. Eileen said that they asked her not to tell about leaving the show in 2013. She also tweeted they asked her to wait for a week or so with announcing her return (after she tweeted she has news in January). In the context of these tweets about bday cakes, who do you think is trying to cover what: Jen - that ED is still taping or GV - that she's finished her arc? (that's how it sounds for me lol). BTW, is there a girl called Nicki in ("Days" wardrobe dept.) born June 14-16 ? Edit. It has to be about Nikki Scrano, I guess. Edited by thepadange, Jun 16 2014, 04:25 PM.

I kinda like GH's way of telling multiple stories. But IMO their strength is definitely not in those short-term arcs and/or multiple recurring roles (even though they use them rationally). I enjoy the stories involving their regular cast way more. JMO. And I can't imagine "Days" doing something like that. I mean, they barely can write 1 compelling story and they'd need at least 3-5 for those arcs to be interesting. I can't see it with their current writing "style". |
