RUMOR REPORT: Is Dena Higley FINALLY on Her Way OUT at DAYS?






Okay, now this is something I can get excited about. Mad rumblings have lamented soap scribe Dena Higley on her way out at Days of Our Lives. Apparently there was major backstage drama on the set yesterday. Stay tuned!

Update: Soap Opera Network is reporting it is indeed true, Higley is OUT!

She's a big problem with why the show is as bad it's been for a long while but she's not the only source of the fuckery IMO.

GT and KC have some 'splaining to do too

So glad she's out! Dena got Days cancelled in 2003! Knowing Days, they'll do something SO STUPID like hire Guza to replace her.

Since James E. Reilly is dead, there is no writer I especially want to take over Days except maybe Sheri Anderson. Ya know what, Corday should pull out his Ouija board and let JER's ghost write Days!

Surely there are soap writers that could be wooed back. Maybe Bridget Dobson is tired of retirement in FLA? How wonderful would it be to hear from Pam Long again! Or maybe steal some of those wonderful writers at Shotime!

This is a firing I feel more confident in celebrating. That is until her replacement is named.

Hire someone NEW who wants to break into the medium, like me please!! Laughing out loud

Hopefully the new headwriter does away with some of the awful characters (Dario, Melanie, Gabi, Daniel, Rafe, Quinn, Chloe, Roman, Taylor ), recasts Abby, and brings back Marlena, John, Carrie, and Austin.

Well, this firing makes me much happier than Guza's does. Everyone complains about Guza, I am guilty of it myself, but I do think that most of the types of stories the fans want to see are stories that the execs at ABC daytime veto. I think it's THEM who don't want any stories to revolve around the vets, I don't see how bringing in a new HW is going to make that change. If anything, I feel that it's a way to save money, plus drive more fans away so that they can justify cancelling the show over the next year.

As for Days, I would LOVE to see what someone like Claire Labine could do with this show. She wrote so much wonderful material for the Q family on GH, imagine what she could do with the Hortons and the Bradys.

I know of a writer whose show is winding up in January of 2012 who might be able to do some interesting things in Salem.

I hope she leaves before I start watching DAYS again. Once All My Children ends, I will be Soap Homeless...I was planning to watch DAYS to get my fix.

I hope a house falls on her, and all that's left are her striped socked feet rolling up under the building.

Ted Corday as Joe Clark: I fell down on my knees and I cried "My God, why has thou forsaken me?" and the Lord said "Ted, you're no damn good. No, I mean this! More than you realize, you're no earthly good at all unless you take this opportunity and do whatever you have to." And he didn't say "Ted be polite". Do whatever you have to to transform and transmogrify this Soap into a special place where the Storylines and Scripts for the cast can rise. Where they can grow, work hard and blossom out from under the shadows of the past. Where the minds of the fans are set free. And I gave my word to God... and that's why I threw Dina Higley out and that's all I'm gonna say!
----
Now do us a favor and hire Sally Sussman Morina back! Beg her if you have too. Say it like a brotha trying to win his woman's heart back, "Baby Baby please...Baby baby please.."

I liked her tenure and since she won the show awards then she would be the one to get it back to the traditional storytelling it needs. Hey she created the Phick Affair on Y&R and that turned out great too. She's a golden child for me.

With AMC leaving the airwaves, I need DAYS to get back on track. I wonder what other backstage drama transpired yesterday...

Sheri Anderson and Sri Rao (GH Night Shift) would be perfect. Sri wrote some of the best soap work on Night Shift and also penned a very touching gay s/l.

Sheri Anderson for the win! She knows how to write for Days' REAL characters, like Marlena, John, Patch and Kayla. Hopefully she'd get rid of Higley's horrid creations like Melanie, Daniel, and the Hernandez family.

I could almost agree with Sally Sussman-Morina but knowing my luck she'd bring back Carrie and Austin and put her with Mike again. GROSS!!!

I feel like doing cartwheels!!! She's finally outta there! Now... the clean up has to begin and that can take months to see some improvement before we can see this show gets good again.
