I don't think anyone has said anything publicly besides Martha and the wardrobe girl (LOL). They're all likely worried about their own status with the show, so it's probably smart to stay mum at this point. Also, Josh doesn't seem to have an active twitter account (the one that MM tweeted is old), so it's a little bit harder to thank him directly on there. |

Drake told me personally at DOD this year that Tomsell hated him and the character of John. He said that the writerS (plural) could be credited for his involvement again. I don't think that Higley hates J&M or S&K... I just think she had to write them out per Producers via the budget cuts. Same goes for Shelle and Thaao. That being said... I don't think she is a good storyteller. Whom ever was behind it, the baby-switch worked - aparently. Everything else was seemingly crap. I didn't even really watch the show for nearly 2 years during her last tenure. Each time I tuned in... I couldn't deal with MarSami, Safe, Melanie, Stephanie, Nathan, Taylor. MarDar got me tuned back in, but their stories were awful. Tomsell actually got me into the show from late 2012- fall 2014. Everything fell apart after losing JS, AS, ED & BB. I have hope for Ryan Quan. Wish his young blood could have been paired up with Broderick or, if only, Sheri Anderson. Sigh- Still, Dena. |

I have to comment on the actors speaking out part. While I don't think bashing is ever appropriate, I do feel in most workplaces people have the right to their opinions. That's why corporations aren't dictatorships. And have HR departments. The fact that Higley has been allowed to dismiss and/or abuse people with her pen who have disagreed with her is mind boggling to me and wouldn't go on in any non dysfunctional work environment Edited by Lovejm, Feb 19 2016, 08:44 PM.

Well I think Drake would fare better under Higley than Deidre would with all other things being equal. If they both stick around, Marlena is the one who tends to disappear. And as for TomSell. It couldn't be clearer they hated the John character and for whatever reason probably Drake too. |

I don't think there's much the actors CAN say right now. The studio is dark, and they're probably more confused than we are. |

I gotta say, I know sometimes we say Judie shouldn't talk but between saying the Chad and Abby story picks up soon and J&M having a big story in March, it has renewed some of the excitement I had before yesterday's news crapfest. I'm going to try to enjoy the hell out of March. |

How Higley feels about J&M isn't about whether they stay or go, it's what's in the writing, which is her responsibility. And I think she has less problems with the character of John than she does with Marlena. Which is why what could have been a J&M fan's wet dream come true, a re-do of the Pawn story in 2008... became about Ava and about NuJawn treating Marlena like dirt on his shoe for a long, good while. When she wasn't offscreen, that is. And about what she does to them when they haven't been let go for bullshit budget reasons. It's just the disrespect that comes across in her stories. I mean, she can't write good things for the people she does like, but she obviously thinks they're good stories (Nighttime Hope, Stefano-killer Hope, Goop!Hope, Hero!Rafe, Roman2!Rafe, Ava taking over several storylines in 2008). |

:hail: :hail: :hail: Seriously. But then, the bossman re-hired the person who was fired due to popular demand, less than five years ago. After another regime was let go for destroying the show. |

Hence the dysfunction. And I struggle with this because I feel like he does want the show on the air and thinks he's doing what's best. But he clearly doesn't have the head to make sound business decisions and doesn't appear to listen to the people around him who do know. |

Jonathan McClendon (Chase) on Periscope He says Jonathan and Chase are nothing alike. Jonathan's not a rapist. He made some rather inappropriate comments about the story line though i.e. Ciara "not punching him", "not pushing me away", "wanting it", "leading me on hardcore". He says he believes he'll win an Emmy next year. "It's really juicy" (what's coming up for him) He seemed to have no clue about a month off for DAYS. On Daniel C. He shares they have the same type of sense of humor ... At one point he says "when [DC] was off the show" He clearly didn't know who Jen Liley, Missy or Rob Wilson are when asked about them. Thinks Vivian is extremely beautiful but they're not each other's type (for dating purposes). They'll be hanging out this Sunday. He hangs out with the other "teens" on DAYS "all the time." The come over at least every other week. James & him are messaging to set up something. Kyler and him are going to do some music or poem thing re:bullying story line. Olivia and him will be doing a cover (song cover) together. He doesn't like the way the show parts Chase's hair "like a kid." Andre is his favorite character. Talks about the kids on the show being such kids before and Chase shaking that up is a good thing. He prefers that to crying over Aiden all the time and playing tag. He has dyslexia. He's pro choice. He's from Texas and part "hillbilly". Country is his singing style. He sang for like 30 minutes. Edited by AngelaP, Feb 19 2016, 11:17 PM.

:facepalm: I know Jonathan is still a kid, but some of the stuff he tweets leaves me with a bad taste. I posted an interview with him from SoapOperaSpy here yesterday, in which one of the answers leads me to believe he is done filming at Days. |

Some of his comments remind me of GH's Bryan Craig. That is not a compliment. :rolleyes: Thanks for the recap. I'm still convinced he's already done at Days. |

Yeah. :facepalm: Indeed. "Lets be honest. Ciara didn't punch me. She didn't punch me. She din't push me off. She said no. Technicality. But she also didn't push me off. So there was a part of her that wanted it. She flirts with me. You guys know she flirts with me. You guys know it. She led me on hardcore." Kids can be really stupid. (He's 19) Thank, for the SOS heads-up, re: Chase's future - "well there's not much else that can happen." I didn't feel like he gave anything away about his status on Periscope unless they do have March off and all the actors should know this by now. |

He's 19 and I get being young and stupid but that's just ignorant and insensitive. I'd warn any girls I knew his age away from him. No means no. |
