Dena tweeted this back in August. You can't believe a thing she says. I don't see romance.

If she can keep her word and make this finally happen I'll be fine with her I'm tired of days looking primetime It's time for it to go back to looking like a soap..

She said that in late August 2015, so she was explaining what's been happening on-screen the last few months I'd assume.

Judge for yourself, lol.

She didn't keep her word though. She tweeted this in August. Where is the romance she said was coming?

Personally, I liked the more serious/darker stories Josh was writing though I wanted to see more fallout from them. I have wanted more romance too though, which has been sorely lacking. Dena also stated that her & Josh were all about payoff, which we haven't seen at all.

Funny she tweeted about John and Marlena being great too. And while they've been written well it wasn't by her.

I dont think these petitions ever actually matter or get much done especially to this show that clearly just doesnt care but Ill tweet it out and tumblr it out anyway

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/get-dena-higley-out
In 2011, there was a huge campaign led by this board to oust Higley and it worked.

Petitions are good but more is needed. Social media is the best way. Twitter bombs, trending on twitter and facebook...get the attention of execs/cast/crew/writers on social media...that kind of thing. Call the studio and just keep hitting them in all these ways to the point where you annoy the hell out of them and they have to do something.

I didn't think it would work but it DID the first time. It could again with the same commitment and dedication.
We should do it again.
Well, the studio contact info is already posted in here.

The best way to start is with a separate thread dedicated to the campaign. People can post everything related to it in it. And then, starting tomorrow, as often as possible call the studio and call execs offices. Post on facebook, tweet, etc. Try to get something trending. Maybe something like "#NoDaysForHigley or something anti-Higley. Tag people like Greg Meng or some of the actors in it or something. The more people from Days, NBC, Sony, etc that see it and take notice and if it is overwhelming enough, they will do something. They did before.

They key is, and I can't stress this enough, this campaign has to be about the show. Not about shipping a couple or character or whatever. Tell them you want fresh writers. Tell them the kind of show you want. The only agenda can be helping the show to survive. The minute it becomes about specific character and/or couples is the minute the write the entire thing off.

Sure, but IMO she was the one writing most of this years material so far. The change back to Griffith style only started last week. I don't think these two ever really wrote as a team, so...

Well, if her Instagram is any indication, she's only been with Days for about a year. So, if she came in as part of the 50th change up, she could definitely be out, too. :shrug:

It does seem like she was a fan of the show before she was hired, though.

What the hell is wrong with KC? He must really like Dena to keep hiring her back after she's proven she can't handle the job. :thumbsdown:

Besides Greg Meng and Days twitter page, who else can I be tweeting to about this?

Well. This obviously sucks. And what's his face isn't going to last. Some actors are going to go back to work next week and film their surprise final scenes.

Cast members, Steve Kent from Sony, any NBC exec you can find (not sure any are on social media).

Come up with hash tags. They will help. Calling the studio will help too. The last time, I usually called before and after work and on my lunch hour. I would post to twitter while calling the studio so I took care of both all at once. Do it as much as possible and spread the word all over social media and to other boards. The bigger this is, the better. The idea is to overwhelm them and to make sure they know this isn't just some small group of people that want change.

I have to wonder which writer chose to have Hope kill Stefano in cold blood vs killing him in self defense? There has been A LOT of backlash over Hope and Rafe becoming dirty cops.
I think that was Higley. If you really think about it, Hope killing Stefano isn't so different from Nighttime Hope. Just like Ava, Higley was recycling Dark Hope.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
She didn't keep her word though. She tweeted this in August. Where is the romance she said was coming?

Personally, I liked the more serious/darker stories Josh was writing though I wanted to see more fallout from them. I have wanted more romance too though, which has been sorely lacking. Dena also stated that her & Josh were all about payoff, which we haven't seen at all.
Funny she tweeted about John and Marlena being great too. And while they've been written well it wasn't by her.
Thankfully. I'm not a big fan of Jarlena, but I am grateful that at least one couple was spared from the hatchet job that Higley gives to couples. Jarlena and D/J are the only ones that were safe from her poison pen. (Chabby had the brainwashing.)

Probably not. It's pretty common during a sudden regime change like this for certain characters (that the writers don't want to write for) to get quickie exits.

No. That's just an educated guess.
