She may have been during her "leave of absence." If so, I hope she's feeling better, but she should give up the writing due to it causing her stress. Plus, we don't like her writing and we become stressed too! |

This is just sad. No job is worth doing this to yourself. I mean, she makes it sounds as though Days sent her to the ER. [twitter=MagentaPoppy/status/701603236986249216] |

Maybe the best campaign would be to ask everyone you know who is a Days fan to buy a copy of her book so she can afford to retire. |

You have to scroll down a little, and then it should give you a calendar and a clock. |

There's that self loathing of the soap writer again, the way she looks down on the entire genre. :rolleyes: |

I bet some of that anger has been aimed at fans in the guise of her great story telling like John and/or Steve sleeping with Ava, etc... |

There is literally no point at all in even trying to produce good quality entertainment if all we're worried about are the feelings of ONE solitary person behind the scenes who has effective control of the direction whole show. Of course people should be treated, in general, well and with respect. But they also should be qualified for the job they are doing. With that in mind, I would say it's FAR crueler for Ken Corday to keep employing a woman who has clearly and quite specifically stated (for public consumption) that she is not mentally capable nor creatively inspired enough to do the job she was hired for. Put someone in the position who wants to be there, is prepared and willing to accept the challenges, and hasn't already been fired from the job several times, and there'd be no need for this so-called "bullying" to oust them. |

This! I started out on Thursday horrified about what this meant for my characters and my show but the more that I've read of Higley's book the more I'm horrified by what this means for the people involved. Maybe the book is all hyperbole. But she said the show drove her to drink and to mental breakdown... well... employing her to do that same job? Isn't that asking for the same result? And if she hurts herself or somebody else in this mental breakdown? It is terribly irresponsible to employ her to do this job. |

We have to do something. We all know what kind of writing she produces, it's crap. I don't want to see this show end with Higley. |

Alright. I've removed some posts. If someone wants to question what's happening and do it in a way that's productive and not a complete misrepresentation of what's actually happening, go for it. But people in this thread are not the only ones involved in this, so it's not really going to do you any good. I will admit to having some reservations about the use of some of the mental health stuff, but these are public words shared intentionally. It's not like we raided her diary. I understand reservations, but there's no call for the rest of what was removed. |

That tears it. She should never write a soap opera again and I'm not just saying it because her writing is a big pile of shit, but because if she continues to do this, something is gonna snap. And then where will that leave her husband, her 4 children and her grandchild? |

Is there anything bad with it? Hey, even I think the whole thing is tragic and I will certainly not participate in any form of cyberbullying, after having read what she had written, I think that Ken Corday is the craziest of them all, I mean come on, he flashes his own the show card and re-hires a writer who clearly can not handle her job. What the hell, he takes no responsibility what so ever as her boss. |

You know that is the scariest thing of all. The woman pretty much admits to being mentally unstable and that the pressure of writing for soaps and Days in particular was too much for her to bare. So why would he knowingly hire her back again and again. I could see him giving her a shot in 2008, but now? after firing her in 2011? IDK, it just seems like the soap scribes that are out there unemployed currently are unwilling to take the Days job, or something. IDK....it just seems like Days either chooses Dena or Gary, it's just bizarre. |

I don't know what people are calling cyber bullying in this context. IMO calling people names is rude and not tolerable but I don't see anything wrong with posting quotes from a published book. It's not some secret illegally obtained stuff. And people are doing free PR for her book LOL. |
