What's interesting is I think Dena likes Steve and Kayla. There were tons of rumors during her first stint in 2003 that she was bringing them back and she pushed them to the front burner when she came back for her second stint in late 2007/2008. Only issue is both times she has been around she has pushed the Ava stuff on them and it has been awful.

Actually, there is another issue...you would imagine she has to have issues with SN and MBE given they were quite vocal about her writing for them. I could imagine she is the same way about Drake and Dee, even though they weren't quite as vocal.

I would honestly be more worried about J&M.

I don't know if that's actually the worst thing. She writes them horribly or not at all. Either way it's bad news.

Haha, I feel ya. I was just about ready to start watching again after about a month off, but now... Is there even a point?

I think I'll wait to see who else gets axed before I make a final decision on whether I should start watching again. :drunk:
I'm going to attempt to enjoy it while we can. I haven't gotten to the acceptance stage of grief yet :)
With Dena Higley as HW, there is no acceptance. Just a continuous cycling through the first four stages of grief, forever. :drunk: :drunk: :drunk:

I never get why some actors are so vocal about writers, it's just going to come back to bite them eventually with the way that they're recycled.

Well, that represents the biggest issue. These writers shouldn't keep being recycled. There are very capable members on the writing team who could be good if given the chance. Promote from within. Days did that with Brash and Cwickly in 2002 and they were fantastic. OLTL did that with Ron Carliviti and he was great until he bought into his own hype too much and fell apart.

The actors should be vocal if they feel what is being written is that bad.

I think some actors just really love their characters and they want to keep their characters' integrity as intact as possible. :shrug:

I think MBE, SN, Deidre, and Drake are safe, but will be backburned.

It would be a huge mistake to alienate long-time fans after bringing a lot of them back for the past 6 months.

Thank you JCP.

If they keep S.N., Dena will punish him for the "hack statement."

So, what did they all say about Dena after she cleared out last time (or while she was still writing)?

To be fair, he didn't say it directly (that I know of). It was part of a tweet he favorited.

He may have complained about the Ava story BTS, too, though. I don't know.

If I recall, SN and MBE made some comments in the mags about the Ava stuff and how they never got a chance to deal with the aftermath of it. That was back in 2008. Drake and Dee never said anything publicly but it's obvious Dena hates writing for them so I would imagine they don't have a good relationship and I would think Dee has probably made some comments at some point around the studio.

As far as anything said after she was fired in 2011, well, there wasn't alot specifically directed toward her but there were alot of interviews with cast members saying that with the new writers (MarDar at that time) they recognized their characters again and so on.

Yeah, I'm seeing that a lot of them did that (I didn't recognize my character, and now I do).

I'm assuming that may be part of the reason she repeated so many of her stories in such a short time ... spite?

I remember he actually praised the Ava story in his exit interview last time. It seemed at the time that they were less happy with the way it was dropped, than the story itself. I remember some comments from MBE about it being bad that Joe was born with all of the baggage from that story not dealt with.

IDK for sure, though!

To me that is obvious.

That is the one thing about this stint of her's (particularly the past 3 months that has obviously been her writing) that is different than her previous writing stints. Before, she was trying and she3 was just terrible. This time, I truly feel as though she wrote maliciously on purpose. I think she wrote certain things deliberately to piss off fans and certain actors that had angered her or aided in her getting fired. That is the thing. Dena seems to be that petty and the fans did play a huge role in her being fired the last time. To me, she seemed hellbent on angered fans and certain people this time around and that is just as twisted as alot of her writing.

He may have, but I'm talking about this run. It was such a mess, and I can see both him and TB being like, "What the hell is this trash?!"

I can't imagine what goes through her head. I mean this Ava story was a mess and I'm guessing if Josh didn't get involved at the end it would have been even worse. The writing for J&M was good all along even though January until they disappeared this month but that had to be attributed to Josh. The good writing not the disappearance.

Dena and Josh cock-blocking the "end parts"/fallout of each others stories. It's almost funny. It's bad, but kind of funny. To be a fly on the wall.

Didn't Drake basically imply he'd be gone if TomSell had stayed? I can't imagine he's looking forward to being cast aside, dumped on and practically ignored yet again by another hack writer either intimidated by J&M or just flat out dislikes writing for them.

I get the feeling he'll walk for good if more stuff like 2013/14 happens again.
