I like the idea of RH as Stephanie. But when is the last time Days hired someone who just left one of the other 3 soaps? It doesn't make much sense to leave one of the big soaps for Days, unless you're really tired of your role. I don't feel like it's gonna happen. I think the only way it would happen is if RH is just sick and tired of the writing for her at GH. I've seen many fans say her character has gotten shit writing for quite a while, so who really knows?

Honestly, I'm surprised to see that Eduardo is still around. Him still being there makes me even more annoyed that KDP/Eve is not, because they had a crap-ton of chemistry.

Now Michael at Serial Scoop is saying they're pics from the set. So, IDK. If they are, she's probably going to be in trouble...
[twitter=TheMikeGoldberg/status/697092489677836289] I updated the post :) I hope it makes a little more sense now :)

I definitely think a smaller group of breakdown/script writers might be a really good thing.
I hope they get rid of the overrated Melissa Salmons.
Why Melissa specifically? I've found David Cherrill scripts usually stick out as being the most bland, basic scripts. There's hardly any flair to what he churns out and if the word "bitch" is used its most likely from his script. Jeannie Marie Ford while better than David will present conversations that feel disjointed oftentimes. I've found myself frustrated with her dialogue. She'll have a character saying things in a way I don't feel anyone would say at the time. Despite Melissa Salmons favoritism toward all things ejami, (mute point now) I've found her scripts to come across pretty intelligent. So, I'm curious why you'd want her sacked. I find her scripts overrated, back in 2013 there was this big hype that she was the best writer to ever hit Days. Aside from that, she annoys me. There have been time periods when she has acted like the show was called "EJami of our Lives". She hangs out with people who hate the show.
As for David Cherrill, he has really stepped up his game after Josh and Dena replaced TomSell.
My favorites are the Cullitons.

Sarah Horton. Noelle Curtis. Stephanie Johnson. All three of these roles would be perfect for Herbst.
When's the last time Noelle Curtis or Sarah Horton were on the show? Does the show even remember they exist? Since we don't know if RH will even leave GH yet, this is just all fun spec on my part: - We seem to know that Days is looking to recast Abby. However, the casting calls seem to indicate that they're looking for someone who can play mid to late twenties. RH looks younger than she actually is, but I think mid to late twenties is a stretch. - Sarah Horton would be nice since the Hortons could use a boost in numbers right now. But, I'm not sure I want to see more of Maggie at this point. Does Maggie even remember Sarah? :-/ - Stephanie Johnson is kind of an interesting case given the SORASing of her brother. If they had RH play closer to her real age, they would semi preserve the age gap between them. The actual age differences between her and SN and MBE would seemingly work. I mean, MBE would be a bit of stretch, but I'm pretty sure SN has a daughter who's actually older than RH. The only thing that would bug is the show once again casting a brunette for a kid with two blonde haired parents. :P Given that Stephanie Johnson's grandfather Duke (James Luisi) and her Uncle Jack (Matt Ashford) both have darker hair/eyes than Steve, I think RH would be believable in the role of Stephanie as far as looks go.

I can almost always call it when they've written the episode. I think adding Danielle Paige was a good decision and believe it or not Mark Higley's scripts have been pretty darn good. Thanks for answering about M.S.

But is GH really considered "big soap" compared to Days? I think they're in the same boat.
Y&R and B&B are of course in a different league.

I LOVE Rebecca Herbst. She is being written terribly over at GH. Not sure if this has been mentioned already but if she can't be Sarah Horton, why not bring her back as as Noelle Curtis, daughter of Liz and Neil? Maybe we could get pop up appearances by Gloria Loring as Liz. So much history with current vets on canvas! #WishfulThinking Yes! I said this yesterday on Twitter - I've wanted Noelle on the canvas for SO long. She's historically connected to Salem, daughter of a VERY popular couple and yet not related to anyone. It's weird that they haven't had her pop up.

Maggie dies, Sarah returns for the funeral. Or Maggie has a terminal illness, Sarah returns to care for her. Either way; dead Maggie, returned Sarah.

If I'm not mistaken both Cullitons have headwriting experience. I wonder why Days never upped them (or one of them) to the co-HW position.

RH's character is written horribly on GH. But, why would anyone think the writing for a character of hers on Days would be any better? :-/ :shrug:

Sarah Horton and Noelle Curtis are biological half-sisters. I'd like to see them both.
But more importantly, I'd like to see Melissa Horton. She was Hope's best friend, even more than Jennifer was.

The one thing I liked that MS wrote was the ditto vows. Then she said she didn't come up with it, a breakdown writer did lol

When's the last time Noelle Curtis or Sarah Horton were on the show? Does the show even remember they exist?
Coming up on 27 years for Noel (Samantha Barrows) 7/26/89 and 25 years for Sarah (Alli Brown) 6/13/91.
