I doubt she demanded anything. She probably made it clear she thought the Haiden fans got screwed and so did DC and may have indicated displeasure (as I am sure others did as well) with the direction of her character/story but I don't think she forced anything. Corday does think highly of her so he probably took what she said seriously and then that combined with feedback they had received and then ousting Higley all played as factors.
How did DC get screwed? PR got screwed with his exit dismantling of his character. KA supported and encouraged that storyline. Did Kassie DePava Melissa archer get screwed? I just want BOPE and KA fans to realize she is team Haiden. KA does not deserve our support.
I don't think anyone got screwed. But everything isn't Daniel OR Peter.

And again. We still don't know what he's back for.

I love Bope, but I don't think PR or Bo got screwed. I think the opposite actually. The only thing I didn't like is that Bo got like 2 weeks in Salem. That was a bummer. He should have been back in October. Peter only wanted to be back for a short-arc. The show would have welcomed him back as a cast member if that is what he wanted. I wish PR wanted to return but he doesn't. I thought they gave Bope a great ending if that was the end as sad as it was to watch.

As far as DC goes, I'm not thrilled that he's back but we don't know what he's back for. I do not think he is back long-term. I could be wrong, but I don't think the show is ending their idea of Rafe and Hope. Whatever DC is back for is probably just angst for them.

I always believe anyone in any line of work that gets fired UNLESS they are fired for some sort of wrongdoing on their part is screwed so, yes, Archer and Depaiva got screwed too.

Does this mean I would bring either back? Not necessarily That is life. Stuff happens. Everyone gets screwed over in their lifetime...multiple times.

I don't think anyone got screwed. They chose a job that is well paid but unstable. They all know that.

Re: DC/Aiden return. (I don't quite know who/what thread to quote or respond to... lol...)

I honestly don't really care because I am not watching the show anymore (y'all's recaps are quite enough!), but I do suspect that his return is not short-term and I do suspect that they will be re-pairing Haiden. Frankly, that is just miserably bad writing any way you slice it ... and it totally contradicts what KC said about people who died after September staying dead, but I never in a million years believed him anyway.

It does lend credence to the blind about an actor not being happy with her pairing being about KA. And to those who think KA doesn't have that kind of clout to push for Haiden 2.0, I think you are wrong. WK came out last fall, I think, and stated plainly that they were planning a Hope/Justin pairing circa 2010 or something, but KA flat-out refused. We all know the kinds of stipulations Tony Geary has had for years in his contracts. Who knows what KA and other vets have in theirs. Just sayin'...

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
I remember rumors that it was being discussed pairing them but then they opted not to and we got CS as Jordan for Rafe.

GG seemed to be more energized and more into the material we saw in the Fall than the past 3 months. That speaks volumes to me. I don't doubt he wants a love interest but he probably liked the fact that Rafe was finally focused on as a character and not as part of a pairing. Not to mention, he probably is uncomfortable with the idea of having to deal with two fanbases (Bope, Haiden) and would rather have his own pairing that he feels may have a chance and that doesn't have baggage. He already had that with Sami and he was lucky enough to have build a fanbase on Days with that but, in the end, he lost out and I think he would rather not have that happen again. KA and him seem to play the friendship banter between Hope and Rafe far better than the sexual tension stuff.

That tweet from Brad Everett Young is interesting. All signs point to a long-term DC return right now. I can honestly say that before this week I NEVER saw that coming.
Well this is a great big slap in the face to BOPE fans. Other boards Are stating KA demanded DC return. This totally sucks
I don't think an actor has a say in who comes and goes...

Amen. I don't think anyone needs to worry about these folks at all. Even with the "instability," they've hit the jackpot compared to 99.9% of other people on earth.

This poster is very similar to a one-follower egg on Twitter going bananas the last 24 hours with, 1, a poster on some board said this/that (IF this post(s) exists it doesn't make the claim valid), 2, demanding all B/H fans cease support of KA.

KA wanting DC back or not is irrelevant to Peter's status with the show. Peter is so sure he is not coming back to the show in any usable capacity that he was good with the show REALLY killing his character off.

Why couldn't KA stop all those years of Billie somehow getting the guy or the Carly go round before it started? Why could she not stop the story they chose for Bo's return that essentially called for saying Hope had been a fool AND getting rid of an actor she had enjoyed working with?

Sure, I do believe sometimes actors give their opinions are are listened to. Most of the time I don't think that happens.

I don't think KA is thrilled with what's on-screen currently. I don't think Galen is either (two fan bases going after him plus all the progress the character made in the fall down the toilet). For good reason on both sides. Their story in the last month has been horrible on several levels (cops trying to get away with murder and taking it too lightly, trying to plant seeds of romance growing within this story only 2 months after the events of November, the almost complete isolation of the characters) AND this is coming off good writing and/or potential for each of their characters in the fall. How did that or didn't that impact DC? Who knows. We don't know what capacity DC is back in and for how long either.

Who knows what these actors really want or enjoy in terms of their castmates and the stories for their characters? And who knows how much say any actor has in his/her character's story and when he/she may have that say? I really don't. All I am saying is that it is definitely not beyond the realm of possibility that actors - particularly vets - may be able to exert some influence at some times. It's clear that the precedent exists. And I think that influence comes through more to the producers than the writers.

I don't have much of a horse in this race, other than I do like DC and I did like Aiden. I tend to agree with those that have said that if KA had that much power DC wouldn't have been fired. I think she might have had a hand in getting him back, but if she does have any power it is obviously limited.

I'm not a huge KA fan, but I don't blame her for wanting DC back if she did request it. Haiden was never any real threat to Bo or Bope fans and the Hope/Aiden pairing was successful. It didn't appeal to everyone of course, but they had their fans and trying to create a new pairing when you already had one that worked would be highly frustrating. It doesn't mean she has a right to dictate of course, but if you have that kind of power why not use it? I have no clue how much power she has, but I would imagine it is limited since it appeared to some she wanted Haiden and at least short term didn't get it.

I also tend to think Haiden fans should be fairly cautious. I've seen several getting really excited on twitter and I would be happy for them quite honestly, but we really DON'T know how long DC is back for or even if he is playing Aiden.

It does. Initially I though the blurb didn't specify, but it does say in parenthesis (Aiden Jennings). I'd still be cautious. But that is just my "believe it when I see it" mindset at work.

That's so ridiculous that she even has to defend herself about that.

People need to realize that 90% of the time the actors are just there to do their job.

I don't know how I feel about KA's response. I actually wish they'd never engage fans period unless it's a thank you for a gift or if she posted that comment on its own instead of responding to a particular fan.

On another note, AS just went in the magazine saying she pitched the EJ story idea for Sami's return which we then saw on air. And I'm pretty sure SR and MB campaigned to become related on air. So to say actors never have a say in writing seems inaccurate. Never is a very definitive word.

I wouldn't necessarily say that the actors have control. I don't believe they have much at all or it would be complete chaos. But you can pitch an idea to the writers/producers and they decide if they want to do something with it or no. Especially if you're a vet like KA, SR, DHer/him, PR, AS...etc

As an example let's say they want AS to come back really badly full time and she'll only return if they put her and Lucas back together cause she misses working with Bryan. They could totally do that!! A.) cause they want her back really badly and b) cause they know Lumi would make fans happy (not that it's ever stopped them from giving us couples 90% of the fandom despises) or they they may formulate their plot ideas for that. Yes Ali pitched it but the SL direction is up to the writers. I think some have the privilege to as to work more with certain people and its OK as long it doesn't disrupt the overall plot or storyline direction. If it's not in their interest the writers/producers will decline the idea.

That's what happened to Dee in 1991, ratings were down and they desperately wanted Marlena back to boost the ratings and she would only return with WN. However it was their idea to do the "Tale of Two Roman's" and write Drake as the imposter and WN as the real Roman. They could've made Wayne into a completely different character or a pawn who was made to look like the original Roman via plastic surgery. And had she not asked for WN we would have a completely different Days of Our Lives today!!! and John would still be Roman Brady.
