Has Ken Corday read this book? I mean dayum.
He'd probably just feel sorry for her :rolleyes:
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. I kinda imagined a situation where Corday would read the book, feel sorry for her because of how things turned out in the past, and give her another chance in a less pressuring working environment (=letting Higley write what she wants).

There's no big secret that the network in some capacity is always involved in the decision making process, so there's no chance Higley can write whatever she wants without being supervised. Corday should know that.

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'd love to know if Corday's really read the book or not. If he hasn't, he might not even know that much of Dena's mental issues during her previous head writer stints.. Her actions could've been interpreted so that she's just a difficult person to work with.. But so are many other people in the world, too, so it wouldn't appear that alarming.
If the employee requests a leave of absence for personal reasons, the employer wouldn't know anything specific (eg. about mental issues), would they? I'm not sure how the system works in the US.

Are there any plans yet for a twitterblast using the #NoToHigley and #Days hashtags? If so, please let me know - PM is fine. If not...why not? It sure as hell can't hurt.

I can't with this . . .

What's really funny is she's says it was a year and a half after she came on as headwriter. But all that stuff happened in 2008 which was like six months after she became headwriter. I mean she can't even get basic shit right.
And yes, the baby switch was the one semi-decent idea she had. Even a blind dog finds a bone once in awhile.
Never mind, I just proved I'm even dumber than she is. Baby switch story was only "great" because AZ was phenomenal.

In which she admits to having psychotic episodes. I just cannot...
[twitter=MagentaPoppy/status/701538184778285056] I'm lost.
Is there supposed to be something wrong with Dena Higley's confession of depression, etc?
I'm bewildered by "MagentaPoppy's" use of it as some kind of proof or evidence that people with depression shouldn't have jobs.
Dena Higley is a bad writer. What does her depression have to do with it?

Nothing. But we aren't allowed to discuss fans/viewers' tweets on this board. (People can tweet whatever they want)

I'm bewildered by "MagentaPoppy's" use of it as some kind of proof or evidence that people with depression shouldn't have jobs. Dena Higley is a bad writer. What does her depression have to do with it? I'm no professional, but IMO, it shows that Dena clearly has some deep-seeded emotional issues that she needs to seek help to deal with. She's in denial about needing help though and instead, writes for Days. When she doesn't get her way there, she becomes psychotic and the manifestation deepens because she's already not getting her way in the real world.
There is nothing wrong with someone who suffers from depression having a job, but when that job increases the depression, something needs to change before it's too late. Like her or hate her, she has a husband & kids and a grandchild that she needs to put first, rather than her own ego & denial about her situation.

Nothing. But we aren't allowed to discuss fans/viewers' tweets on this board. (People can tweet whatever they want) Actually...we need to be careful about fans' tweets. If anyone has a problem or a question about why she tweets what she tweets, you really need to take it up with her on Twitter.

What does her depression have to do with it? Real people, decent people, who suffer from depression usually try to hide it or, if they decide to disclose it and make it public, try to use their experience for the benefit of others who might learn from it or empathize with it. Dena has done neither. Thus, I don't think she suffers from depression at all. She is narcissistic and histrionic and self-serving. I think her form of mental illness is far more insidious and it is the kind that is not truly treatable. That is why I have little sympathy for her. *If* my assessment is correct, then showing her sympathy just plays into her game. If not, it really doesn't matter because it is just an assessment on a message board and that is about the extent of it. ;)

That's a distinct possibility as well.

Let's please move away from discussion about this and keep to the topic of her not being a good fit for Days.

We all pretty much knew something like this happened, but Jamey Giddens is reporting (from his sources) that Josh quit.

Well that's better than the show choosing Higley over Griffith. Josh couldn't even stand to be in the same room with Dena. Jamie is essentially backing up what has been reported in this thread. The stories from Ciara's rape onward (when Dena went on her LOA) are Josh's stories sans Dena.
