Tony starts to go after SAMI!! And Marlena starts to realize what a SLEAZE he is and "begins to hate him maybe even more than John!!" that is a direct quote, she begins to HATE him just like JOHN!!! Tony stops trying to get with Marlena, also!! J&M get a new storyline, which involves the ISA.

Second, Days has been renewed for 5 more years!!!!!! WHICH IS GREAT!!!!!

Third, DENA HIGLEY WAS FIRED!!!!!!!! The new head writer is.......

When was it announced or revealed that Dena Higley was fired and that James
Reilly is taking over? When is this
suppose to happen or has it already happened? This is the best news I've heard in a long time. My prayers have finally been answered, well actually alot of fans prayers have answered. But, isn't James Reilly the headwriter for Passions? Is he going to be headwriter for both soap operas or is someone else taking over Passions? Hopefully with this news, Days is going to rise again to the best.

This was posted at Dee's Official Board, BUT, I really don't think that everyone is supposed to know about this yet. By that I mean CJ and Dee could both get into trouble, for spilling the beans. But I HAD to let you guys know. I do not know when his episodes will start airing, or if he is still writing for Passions. But this is RELIABLE info. I'm SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!

To late, alot of people know about this already. I belong to soap opera board, and the Days fans already know about it
and are talking about it. Could you give me the link to Dee's Official Board?

angel676 · 05-09-2003, 12:09 AM

I'm not sure how accurate this is, but if it's true, this is more good news. Supposedly the pairing of Brady and Nicole has been canned because of a
website called soapaddict or something
like that, that's what I heard anyway,
but I don't know how true that is.

All I gotta say is "THANK YOU KEN CORDAY". I'm glad he finally wised
up. Let's just hope Ken Corday keeps
this new attitude!!

I Dream of Jeannie · 05-09-2003, 08:19 AM

I think NBC told Kenny he better fix his show or it was getting the boot.

All I can say is I'm glad!!! Frankly I could care less who they put Brady with, it doesn't matter to me, but it is a disservice to Broe fans. I'm really excited, but I'm being very cautious as well. We've all been burnt so many times by the writers, you can't completely trust until you see it. I do trust Reilly, though. The link to Dee's board is at www.marlena.com/wwwboard if that doesn't take you there then just go to marlena.com and click on message boards, but CJ deleted the post there it was also posted at Thaoo's board or guestbook, or something, I dont' know that link. But this is true.

Oh dear God. He will ruin Days just like he ruined Passions. This is terrible news Jeannie. All the couples will be like Shuis, Gram, Chaguel, and some other couples on Passions. I can't believe this. He'll take Marlena and kill her and then bring her back so many times, just like Sheridan. Do you know what this means Jeannie? Days is a second Passions now

I don't know about that, I've heard all good things about him when he was headwriter for Days. Granted, he was either co-writer or headwriter for "Marlena's Posession" storyline, but that was an awesome storyline. Plus, I've heard that he was an excellent writer when it came to John and Marlena. I guess we'll have to wait and see!

ClassicTV4Ever · 05-10-2003, 06:25 AM

OMG! OMG! OMG!!!!! ::jumps up and down:: I'm so happy!! I was really hoping that Days would get renewed. It's also awesome that James E. Reilly is back. He had some of THE best storylines in the past. I can't wait to see what he has in store

I Dream of Jeannie · 05-10-2003, 08:36 AM

Chris, Reilly has written for Days before and he doesn't write Days like he writes Passions. Granted he does indeed drag things out, this is going to be a change for the best. Reilly CAN write for Jarlena. It really depends on whether he wants to or not, which I'm sure he does. They were really his "special project" when he was head writer before, everything he wrote was a showcase for them.

TVJunkie101 · 05-10-2003, 08:45 AM

Reilly was fantastic on DAYS. He was much better then he has done for PASSIONS in the past 2 years. He destroyed Passions that it's a complete mess. With DAYS, he was awesome.

I have a bad feeling Passions will continue to be ruined and he'll write for both soaps.

James Reilly was with DAYS from 1993-1997. or somthing like that.

I watched his entire run, and stopped gradually after he left. I watched again during the brilliant Brash/Cwikly run, and stopped again once they left. Dena Higley was an awful choice, I mean, the show is so lame now.

Christopher · 05-25-2003, 02:03 AM

I hate JER right now. He is replacing Tabitha on Passions with Charlie. Fans of Passions won't be seeing Tabitha that much, it will be Charlie

taking her place trying to kill people and causing pain. The writers and creator - JER are idiots!

Jeannie he will totally ruin Days, just wait, watch, and learn. JER does not know how to write soaps anymore.

JER = James E. Reilly

Agent 99 · 05-25-2003, 11:46 AM

I hope that JER didn't write Days of Our Lives anything like Passions. I never watched Days under JER, but I *used* to be a big Passions fan. What I would love to see, as long as JER will be doing Days, would be a complete change in writing staff, etc., for Passions, but I don't think that's going to happen.
