Any storyline from Ryan in the past so I can see what type he is.
Seems cast liked Josh and not so much dena, so winder what their thoughts are now.

For me,I'm reading more into the renewal news now. My guess is this is it for the show, that they are going to wrap it up over this next renewal year. Josh jumped ship instead of staying with a sinking ship, leaving Corday no choice but to keep Dena.

HAHA! The Days wardrobe girl is favoriting tweets about hating the writing change. I think cast/crew morale is going to be a bit of an issue when they get back.
She's so great

Anyone have a rundown of Higley's favorites and disliked characters?
Dena loves Nicole. one of her favorie couples is Bricole so if we get a positive story for either of them it could be a plus.
she also likes writing for Justin/Adrienne and created Freddie's version of Sonny so perhaps we'll see more of them.
She also I thnk likes the Carvers as Theo's autism was always her story.

However she also likes Hope and Rafe so not good as I would like to backburn them.

As long as she doesnt get rid off Stayla , Jarlena or Shelle now that I finally got them back, I'll be fine. I dont mind Dena like the rest of you. But if she touches my favorites, I'll join the bitchfest.

Fave: Rafe and Hope

Least fave:
Everyone else
I just guffawed at that list. I don't like Rope (or the Jonases) so this should be interesting. I'm sticking around though because supposedly she loves the Kiriakis family and so do I :shrug:

Well I guess since Dena loves Rafe and Hope that Rope is a go again? :rolleyes:

Oh gee I'm waiting for her to dig Daniel up again. :drunk:

Let's guess who the first cast member to comment is.

I'm going with Galen or his wife.

Why do they like Dena? Does she come very cheap or something?

It definitely sounds like he quit instead of being fired, especially that KC most likely wanted to keep DH. Obviously, I'm speculating here, but what are the chances that this is spot on?

Ugh, the only hope is that Quan is good writer, but what do we know about him? Anything good? I need something positive here! lol

I like most of these people pairings so I'll stick it out. I especially love the Kiriakases and the Carvers

Which tweet?

This tweet does sound really ominous now. :unsure:
What does this mean?

I wonder if he left on his own accord, or was let go. Maybe he was annoyed that KC wanted to keep DH, and he was like "see ya".

I mean, this makes no sense.
That's what I'm wondering too. It says that he left so that leads me to believe that it was his decision and not that he was actually fired, unless they came to a mutual agreement about it and are letting everyone think he left on his own accord. I'm so ticked about this.

Dreamy: I don't know what she meant in that tweet but it has me really scared because of the way it's worded.

Was she a Sami/EJ fan?
I would say no she always had ejami fighting... she had Sami shoot EJ in the head and had EJ kidnap Sydney and make Sami believe she was dead and he also made the kids believe that Sami didn't love or want them anymore.

Soap Opera Digest is reporting a major behind the scenes shake up at NBC's Days of our Lives. Co-head writer Josh Griffith, who was hired as part of the show's creative revamp in 2015 has left the show.

Breakdown writer Ryan Quan, who's been with the show in various capacities since 2008, has been promoted to co-head writer with Dena Higley.

Days of our Lives publicity issued this statement about the behind the scenes change:
"Days of our Lives is pleased to announce that staff writer Ryan Quan has joined co-head writer Dena Higley to form a new head writing team. Josh Griffith has left the show to pursue other projects and interests, and we wish him the best."

It's weird how Rafe, Hope, and Nicole are Dena's favorite characters and yet, they have the worst writing. Dena hates Stayla, so it wasn't unexpected that she would give them Ava. :rolleyes:

Why are we stuck with her? :flipoff:
