I loved the beginning of the Nicole and EJ love affair. But the writers messed up. The second she got pregnant that storyline tanked. Whenever I say this, Jabie responds, “You didn’t want the baby switch to happen?”. I am not saying that. I just didn’t like how EJ insisted on the paternity test right away. All the cuteness between them was gone.

Now Nicole has something to really hold over EJ’s head. She is privy to the heinous act her bestowed upon his beloved Samantha. Nicole has EJ right where she wants him. The world is her oyster now.

Is there any chance the writers could have a do over? Could the two actually have a cute and lovey rapport again, after time? We all know EJ can charm. Could he deceive her into thinking he cares to keep her quiet?

Melanie and Max agree they are still siblings. Hope tells Carly to go to Hell. Nicole remembers the voice. Rafe finds the cabin.

I read on the blog about the possible cancellation of Days. I did a bit of research and I think I may have found where the rumor started. On Wikipedia, the  entry regarding Days says this, discusses the decline in ratings since the 1990s for all soaps.   NBC did elude to Days being unlikely to continue past 2009. A last minute decision allowed the show another  18-months. This takes us to September of 2010.  The  renewal was considerably shorter than it’s usual 5 years.

So, I’m guessing that people have read this and are concerned that it won’t be renewed in September. With the ratings improving in 2009, rising to a tie for second place,  it seems highly likely for Days to again be renewed. Hopefully for 5 years this time. I don’t want to wait on eggshells again!

I’m crossing my fingers. I’ve been watching Days since I was old enough to remember. My Mom and I used to watch it together before I started school, she recorded it for me until I was old enough to do it myself and then I arranged my schedule in college so that I wouldn’t miss it. We even had a Days watching group on my hall in the dorm building. Needless to day, I’m a bit of a fan.

Parade magazine eluded today to Days ending in September. Read it here. The Internet is all abuzz with speculation.  The way I read it, it is only Parade magazine’s hypothesis cleverly placed right after a quote from Suzanne Rogers. On first glance, one might read it as coming from her directly. I certainly thought that, although it didn’t make sense. The actors are much too professional for that type of disclosure.

This rumor has been weighing heavy on all of our minds. But is there any truth in it? And what should we do? Will letters help? Jabie and I might have to consider a suicide pact.

Peter Reckell sent out this statement regarding his leave of absence from the show:

Kelly and I have heard from concerned fans that there seems to be an NBC newsletter circulating stating or implicating that I have asked for time off from the show. Please be aware that this is not true. I am off for a month or so, because I was in danger of going over the limit of episodes listed in my contract. They did not wish to pay me for doing extra shows, so Bo was sent out of town for a month in order for him to remain, I am told, present and center when I return.

However, the show is in negotiations right now with the network, so the deal is pretty simple: if you want Bo around and don’t like having him be away, write to the people in charge and let it be known, for that is always useful. What is not useful, however, is trying to sabotage a storyline the writers have planned for us actors… There’s apparently another rumor circulating, stating I have said in a recent personal appearance in Canada, that I do not enjoy working with Crystal Chappel (Carly). That is not – I repeat NOT – true.

I have never said that and this was probably just made up by people who are not happy about the Bo and Carly story. Again, if you favor one pairing more than the other, please write to the show in masses and let your opinions about the storylines known. That is the way to do it. Starting fake rumours about me is not. I much enjoy working with both Kristian and Crystal and besides, actors have no say in what the writers have planned for their characters.

So whether you like the story or not, the important thing is to keep writing to the show, because interest in the story – whether it is positive or negative – is what will insure we stay on-screen in the end. Thanks for passing this along to others, I appreciate it.

I noticed many of the comments were pertaining to Dr. Baker’s comeback role. Some people didn’t see the point in his return at all, and some thought maybe he had Nicole’s “miscarried” baby stowed away somewhere. That’s a pretty entertaining idea.

After reading this stuff, I had a little brainstorm of my own. We are all aware of Chloe’s current baby situation. She desperately wants to give Dr. Dan a baby but is not able to. Well, we all know that in the Days world, when a woman wants a baby she’s gonna get a baby, one way or another. Something odd seems to happen in women who are that desperate to be a Mommy. What if maybe, just maybe Chloe enlisted the help of her “experienced” BFF Nicole? And then, what if Dr. Baker’s new role is to help Chloe get that new baby? That would make for a very interesting storyline, dont’cha think? I guess we’ll all just have to wait and see how this Dr. Baker scenario plays out.

I wonder if that maternity pillow is still laying around?
