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.
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.
Her writing for them is almost scarier than anything.

Days is so screwed. Now I can't blame Kate Mansi for leaving.
KM left before all of this, though. :shrug:
well smart rats escape a sinking ship.

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.
I doubt he was fired. Everything that's been published so far has said he left. There is a lot of reason he could have left for 1) Dena being back (maybe she got some leverage due to her run having higher numbers) 2) Pay cut 3) Different ambitions 4) etc

Eh, I'm kind of done being scared and worried about the show. This totally sucks, but it is what it is.

If it is a factor, that'd piss me off. I like LGBT representation on soaps, but Will's character was so unrootable by the end.

I agree. I'm probably totally off-base but it was a thought that crossed my mind a few minutes after I heard the news.

Of course they are saying Josh left on his own. That really doesn't mean anything.

I like to break my avatar

I never followed anything about writers/writing changes until finding this site, so I have no clue who wrote what that I've loved over the years without some research. But if they're keeping the writer who's responsible for the dreck that's trying to pass as a show lately, then this sucks.

They're still holding firm to the "people who die after September 1st stay dead" rule, right? No resurrections, right? Please, someone, hold me and reassure me that she won't find a way to bring HIM back.

He probably refused to work along side Dena. Knowing what a talentless bitch she is, I don't blame him. This is all Corday.

The boy saw the comet and he felt as though his life had meaning.

Let me guess SN/MBE are gonna be screwed, DH's will be backburned, MM's Belle will continue to be written as a shrew, BB as a dormat who will allow Belle to walk all over him as she juggles between him and Philip.

R.I.P Days of Our Lives, this feels like the Titanic hitting the iceberg!!

If Deidre Hall, Drake Hogestyn, Martha Madison, Brandon Beemer, Stephen Nichols, Mary Beth Evans leave, get screwed over...etc while we get endless Rafe/Hope propping I will be done with this show.

Dena must have some serious dirt on Corday/NBC or Ken C. must be in love with her. I just can't anymore. It's starting to feel like TomSell all over again. I had some faith in Griffith but with his departure and this new co-head writer I feel like Dena will be completely in charge. I'll stick around for the next 6 months but as soon as things get too crazy I'm taking another long hiatus.

This is Josh Griffith at the Christmas party right? https://www.instagram.com/p/_csFbJjT7F/?taken-by=i60studios
When I saw it some time ago, I thought it sounded like he was saying goodbye...but since there was no announcement I hoped for the best :(

A lot of people were so certain that Dena was gone. LOL. What happened there?

Being a Days fan is sure an emotional rollercoaster. We get highs like Sept to Nov, then lows like the last few months. We get a high last week that Days has been renewed, only to hear this week that we're stuck with Higley. Either two things- she's cheaper to pay (didn't she scab write during the writers strike) or she has blackmail info on Corday. It's just ridiculous that Days keeps giving her employment, when proven time and again how terrible she is...

What's going to really suck, is that I have a feeling the show is about to get really good with Josh and Beth at the helm for the next 5 months...and we'll have Dena to look forward to in the Fall.

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.
They watch social media...flood the #DAYS and @NBC and let them know what you think. Course NBC might be happy cause it makes it unlikely they'd have to do the option year. Let your voice be heard in anyway possible

I think I might have to quit soon.

I've SEEN what Dena writes. She took away Steve's brain. She thought it was a great idea to have Ava coerce Steve into sex. Hope became a murderer under her watch. Andre is the victim.

I'm not impressed by what I've seen her write, and if she's going to be in charge, I don't feel compelled to watch.

I was just feeling happy that her influence would soon be gone, and it looks as though it'll never be gone.

Congratulations, Dena. Looks like you won.

Sorry to hear they let Josh go and wish him the best,but I like Dena Higley and I wish Shei Anderson could come back because she know the history of show and the characters.

So the plan was to get Days renewed and then let Dena back into the building
Exactly, its almost as if Corday told Higley to go on a LOA until the show is renewed and then he will get rid of Josh or make her in charge. I say we start some type of Twitter hashtag war.
