Hmmm. The network suits vs. the "creatives" (aka, writers?) sounds intriguing.

Has to be Young and the Restless but don't count out the ratings-challenged Days of Our Lives.

The hunk nobody wants to work with? Burgess Jenkins (Y&R).

But he's not a hunk. And that's half of the problem.

Daytime Emmys back on TV? I'm super excited at the possibility, but also slightly sceptical. I don't want another 3-hour infomercial for Las Vegas interrupted occasionally by handing out awards.

I doubt any of those apply to Days of Our Lives. This show will be lucky to last past its current contract. So boring and uninspired at the moment.

This soap opera scribe is setting the stage for a huge disaster storyline. Will there be casualties when everything comes crashing down?
I could see this being about Y&R, especially with Pratt taking over the reigns as head writer in the new year.

More top secret returns are headed to this sudser.
GH.

Battle lines are being drawn for control at one daytime soap, as the creatives square off against a network suit.
DAYS.

No one wants to work with this soap hunk. If his current on screen romance doesn’t work out, there’s talk of another recast or resting the character.
The only actor I can think of would be Burgess Jenkins. I wouldn't be opposed to the show resting Billy. While I think David Tom did well on his return, it's universally considered a bomb. And Jenkins just isn't doing the character any justice. Especially when you compare him to Billy Miller.

This veteran soap diva is not thrilled about her current storyline. She’s usually a team player, but has been making noise of late.
For some reason, Heather Tom immediately popped into my mind.

This multi-soap icon is on her way out and she doesn’t even know it.
Again, Heather Tom came to my mind at first. Thinking more into it, though, I'm starting to suspect Michelle Stafford. I'm not sure if two soaps can be considered "multi" though.

One popular soap princess has taken her sweet time in warming up to her new leading man. Considering how long she tends to sit on the backburner, you’d think she’d be happy to have a hot new storyline!
Kate Mansi?

A certain cabler is thisclose to booking an awards show near and dear to soap fans’ hearts.
I'd melt if they brought back the Soap Opera Digest Awards! If it's about the Daytime Emmys though, I'm not sure I want to see it back on television. I really liked the streaming telecast this year. The soaps got major focus and there wasn't any filler bullshit. Aside from the awful pre-show, I thought the online Emmys were a hit and I'd hate to see it return to television.

LOL at "ratings-challenged" to describe DAYS.

1.) Network Suits VS TPTB = DAYS (considering the drastic change in direction over the last year).
2.) Soap Hunk = Burgess Jenkins for sure.
3.) Secret Returns = Hoping DAYS...but it is likely GH
4.) Soap Diva = Hmmm...no one from DAYS.
5.) Cabler award show = Daytime Emmys....can't be the Digest Awards as they haven't done them in years.
6.) Huge disaster with casualties = Hoping DAYS...but likely Y&R or GH.
7.) Soap princess = No clue...don't think it is KM from DAYS.

The awards show is the Emmy's for sure The network battle one has to be Days after what happened in 2014.

The disaster one is likely Y&R with Pratt.

I could see the surprise return one being GH or Days.

Not convinced this isn't Kristian Alfonso, after her recent interviews, and there's something that happens in the storyline over the next few months that she really doesn't like.

Oh wow! I didn't even think of Alfonso. I'm not sold on Hope and Aiden either, and I won't be upset if Aiden turns out to be a con artist in the end.

Im hoping the creative struggle is DOOL. This show really needs new blood/headwriters. I say promote Lorraine Broderick or bring back Sheri Anderson as a consultant at least.

I'd really like to see what Broderick could do with full control. I know the last time she was promoted to head writer was a disaster, but Tom Langan was also there and fighting against her creative decisions.

I don't even think you can call her work a "disaster" she was there for a month wasn't she?

Broderick is no doubt the best writer DAYS has...but she IS part of the writing for the shit we are seeing right now...I don't know if I fully trust her anymore.

I trust her more than Tomlin/Whitesell/Corday...but again...she is directly below them.

Hmmm I didn't think of her either....and you could be right.

I wonder what she is pissed about though? Surely not the Aiden/Hope pairing....if she is mad that they are making Aiden a villain...then she needs to please take a seat because at the end I am going to need Bo to come back and rescue her from crazy as all fuck Aiden.

I didn't mean her stories were a disaster. The working environment for her proved to be a disaster.

Yeah, if it's her, I don't think it's about the pairing. Her Day of Days interviews were so off the wall, I wondered if there was a change in her story and she had some reason to blame Bo/Peter for it. Even something like one of the suits hinting that the audience still wanted Bo and Hope.

I hope the one about the returning vets and the BTS battle-for-control are about Days. That show needs some familiar faces to balance out the never-ending line of newbies. I'm also hoping for some new writers. The consistency of the show took a severe nosedive in 2014 and change is needed desperately in the new year.

I hope that it's Days having the creative side battling the suits and I'm beginning to think it's NBC dragging the show down. So I hope the show wins the battle and can get back to being good.

She has to be totally dumb as a fucken dump truck to think the fans would want Haiden over Bope...Bo & Hope will always be the fan favorite, not matter how long Peter is gone.
