Why couldn't they just hire Ron Carlivati or Hogan Sheffer!!!
Didn't Sheffer have a somewhat unsuccessful run about a decade ago?

I like the idea of new blood but not a protege(e) of Reilly.

I seriously don't want Quigley, or whatever the hell their squish name is gonna be. Dena should be out on her ass, and Josh should be staying, period.

does her name on scripts mean anything or is that just an official thing? cause i think Beth's name is supposed to go on soon and Dena's come off from what we estimated and I remember from one of the media threads we though we saw a script in mid April with all 3 so if it does mean something... thats 7-8 weeks.
The script cover was from an episode to air in early April, and it had Dena, Josh, and Beth all listed as Head Writers. Equally.

Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised if we lose John/Marlena and Steve/Kayla out of this. We know Dena's not going to write for them. Unless this Quan guy is a fan, I wouldn't be surprised if they're on their way out.

Did Corday cheat on his wife and Dena has evidence (LOL/kidding)?

Because it's unbelievable...
Too bad (or good for him) Corday has no twitter.

You know, Carlivati wrote some terrible stories on both OLTL and GH, but I would take him in a heartbeat over Dena. Days is only doomed to fail without fresh blood.

Carlivati has his faults, but is far superior to Higley. He has a knack for incorporating history too. It's a shame that Days didn't pick up him or try someone relatively unknown over someone they know is blatantly terrible.

Yeah, I think MBE is nervous. Her posts on Twitter today in light of this news sound like, "Well, I hope I have a job next week."

I'm pretty sure tomorrow is SN's birthday, too. "Happy birthday, Stephen! We just kept the writer that you seem to think is a hack! Oh, and we're firing you and Mary Beth...again."

It's just proof that there is something seriously wrong with Cordays head. Either he's to brain damaged to not notice Dena is a hack writer or he just doesn't give a shit.

Yeah, I actually think Carlivati's style would work well on Days. He's pretty campy, but it's a campy that works and isn't a total mess like Dena's.

Well, Dena has written for both couples in the past. She just hasn't written stuff the fans like.

Their exits in 2008 were budget dictated, and I'm sure the budget changes coming along with the renewal will probably be the major factor in the cast changes that we see coming up.

On the bright side...

1. Old YouTube clips
2. There should be about 6 more months of Griffith before Dena's is back
3. The hiring seemed to happen after the renewal and during a month long actor/crew break so maybe negative reaction from fans, crew and actors may help the situation + NBC seemingly wanting to slow production, that could also help if another change is made
4. Maybe JG will give a juicy exit interview

I could really be wrong but I really think that Corday just doesn't care about the show anymore, I think the reason why the announcement of the renewal took so long was because maybe he was negotiating for another year just to wrap things up and since he feels that Higley knows the history of the show so well(yeah huge sign that he doesn't give a f**k) that she is worth keeping, which could have been a deal breaker for Griffith (who sorry folks couldn't write either JMO)who decided to just leave.

Either way it just seems like the head honchos of this show just dont have a clue anymore, how are fans suppose to invest in a show when the execs don't seem to know how to fix what's really wrong?

I'm wondering if some of the backlash over Will's death played into this. I'm fine with Will staying dead, but I could see that as a factor. I bet CM is on his way back or they are trying to get him back.
