Ken Corday's head scratcher of the soap millenium decision to gut his two biggest stars, while seemingly courting ever actor from Passions, even the chimp,  has the mainstream press taking notice. Notorious gossip blogger Perez Hilton posted about the firings of Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn and the New York Post also weighed in. It seems unlike the late James Reilly, the only time the team of Corday and Dena Higley know how to generate mainstream press is when they make colassal blunders.  This thing is gonna get ugly.

Wednesday's Episode - 10.01.08

Caroline:  It's not looking good for Caroline - only her prints on the murder weapon and the DA is going to press charges.  The fibers found at the scene are of a cotton blend, so that's no help clearing her at this stage.  I bet they end up belonging to Max - even though he's innocent of the murder as well (in my opinion).
