And the suckage of Days is starting to show in the ratings. Oh the irony of getting renewed. Its the last one, I'm afraid.

Promo lady's apparently teasing on Twitter that there's a 'big story coming in March' for J&M.
Yeah, pretty sure it's the continuation of John's origin story that we've waited for for several months.
I hope the conclusion of the story is that they get married again.
Lord yes. Let him be held prisoner, get home and they get married.

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.
Wouldn't be their first huge mistake though. That's what's worrisome.

Who's to say that hasn't been Higleys's plan all along. Maybe she purposely stood by and let the ratings tank so she could come in and say we don't need so & so look at these ratings.

We all knew Friday's ratings wouldnt be good but, it still managed a 1.71 if I remember correctly we where lucky to get near 1.7 towards the end of Tomsell. But, still these ratings should be better for sweeps. I'm pretty disappointed with all my soaps for sweeps.

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.
Dee and Drake never said anything "officially" thankfully, they never talked about her badly in interviews. She skirted around how she felt about Tony/Marlena in interviews. People knew, but it's not black on white in paper form. There were trustworthy accounts of what went down on set in 2003, but neither of them mentioned her by name when talking in public, did they? Which seems like it would mean whatever feelings she has towards them is personal, not about her pride in regards to her work. And I don't know which is worse with this one.

Even with what Tomsell did to them, Deidre said "Thank you for your work, welcome Josh and Dena." If you know anything about how she speaks and what's been happening, you'd know that's some shade, but it's still not dissing Tomsell in any way. And I firmly believe actors (esp vets) should get to be vocal without the fear of losing their jobs or a writer taking it out on their character. Respectful, of course, but still able to say how they felt in an adult, civil way. And it's sad that while no one would ever blame SN and MBE for how they felt (especially given that we 100% agreed - not even a fan, but come on!), that it may have been a smarter move not to say anything at all.

Which also brings me to... Has anyone said anything about this so far (Besides Martha)? I feel like everyone has been mum in general lately. Martha tweeted a simple "thank you and good luck" to Josh, with no mention of anything Dena, but from the Winterthorne account. But I haven't seen anyone else. And all of it worries me. I know they've been dark... but they have internet access, still.

Oh, I know. Dee is always pretty smart when talking about writers after writing changes.

You know what I would like to know? Dena Higley was/is on Facebook and apparently was messaging fans. Has anyone ever spoke to her on there or known of anyone that spoke to her? I know back in September right around the time she did the interviews she did it was said she was messaging people and even got in some hot water over it. Just wondering because I would love to know what she was saying to people :blulaugh: .

During the introductory gabbing, at 7:43. Martha said she and her husband have just started the process of opening a new restaurant in L.A. The venture is just getting started, and they estimate that the restaurant will open in May.
(Somehow I had thought she and her husband had sold their restaurants last year?).

Just some things that made me go hmmmmmm.
AJ actually enjoys the restaurant business, I believe, that's what he was doing when they met. They started restaurants together because of that, not just for kicks. And I feel like I remember they were selling or closing them because a lot was going on (her mother has been ill a long time, they had a baby, etc), and also that it was a lot of work running three restaurants in two different cities. So I'm not sure that in and of itself means anything. They've also kept up with the industry since then (they still own Luna Park in SF), they launched an app or something related to it, a few years ago.

I mean, I am assuming she's a goner, but without it having anything to do with new restaurants. She seems to love DAYS.

I mean, *I* wish she'd talk, because I want to hear her real feelings on certain subjects... but yeah. Probably smarter to shut up entirely. Drake had his little hints the last few years, otherwise he's been pretty diplomatic too (which just tells you how bad he felt it was, doesn't it?).

Same. Maybe she's been talking to Varni ;) Or the other way around. Why do executives or people in charge think it's in any way okay to discuss the inner workings of a TV show with a viewer? Give some cute hints, have wardrobe people share information, get people excited about it, tease and show your love for the show, but do not EVER discuss things that directly relates to what your job is. And then don't ever blame a fan for not being what you want them to be, or pull a guilt trip on them. YOU talked about things you shouldn't have. On the internet. In 2015.
