Maybe this will explain it some:

A fellow poster once said this- "The skeptics that say James Reilly will make a joke of this show and ruin what is special, may have reasons for their feelings but they didn’t see what I saw. I saw two incredibly passionate people and a writer who knew how to make them shine. "

The reason people are happy about it is that most are not looking at what he has done to or with Passions, he writes the two completely different, most long time fans, remember the great things he did write once upon a time, and hope that he will do that again. Maybe that makes you understand it a bit better, because I see where you're coming from with your doubts about him, I'm still a little skeptical because I've been burned by so many writers, like Hackley, I figured that woman would be a good writer since she's been with the show for over a decade but BOY WAS I WRONG!!. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the Reilly we see emerge is the same old one.

I'd really, really like to see Patch and Kayla, and Shane & Kim brought back. I know...Kayla died, but when has that stopped soap writers before?

I LOVED "Days" when they were on. The last few years have just been really boring. I just tune in for a few minutes once & a while to catch up. Maybe JER will turn it around.

Patch supposedly died -- then after his funeral two men came and carried away his "dead" body.

I don't think Kayla died (I could be wrong though -- it's been so long). I think Shawn and Carolyn still talk about her on occasion. So, I'm sure she is still alive.
