That’s what I meant to write. Cold hands.

One more thing…Days wedding disasters remind me a lot of our family gatherings…lol

Loved Frankie Brady (and Billy Warlock). Loved Frankie and Jen together. I can’t stand Dannifer! Maybe Jen would be likeable again without Daniel. Hard to say. I used to be a Jen fan, but not anymore.

Debbie Downer!
I think the show is doing quite well, thank you very much!
DOOL is right up there with GH as far as “Must See” soaps go! The show is ROCKING!

Who are you, the Great Karnack?

Still as classy as ever 4everDAYS..

You just keep being in denial, if it’s comfy enogh for you.

I’m not in denial. CM announced he was leaving way before he should have. DAYS tapes four months ahead of what we see. His announcement was in June. His departure WAS slated for January, I believe. That exit date would result in us seeing him into May.

A public notice in June through a last airdate in May is eleven months of negativity for DAYS. The focus should be positive for DAYS, not about publicity of an impending departure of a performer, especially for eleven months.

I’m sure Chandler’s reps wanted him to make the announcement to garner a lot of publicity. DAYS simply could not sit back and let CM ride the wave that would drown DAYS.

Maybe he did make a simple mistake, but the damage was done.

Maybe CM no longer wanted intimate scenes with his co-star. Maybe his reps were behind that.

Possibly, his reps could have gone behind his back and had DAYS reduce the intimacy and ultimately let him go to have better chance with an acting career without being typecast for gay roles only.

There is so much that could have happened. We’ll most likely never know, but in the end a performer does not control a show. Eleven months is way too long. Seven months is still too long.

He has his emmys. He has his freedom. Do you think he should have executive control?

As a reminder, I am a CM fan, but that situation is very messy. Hence the name Chandler Messy.

Good luck to CM and long live Days of our Lives.

Ok you are not in denial. You are delusional, sorry. I mean com’on! This was not CM manipulating anything/anyone. He was screwed over by TPTB and his team. Look at the press interview. Some journalist asks him about his plans after his contract ends, he answers and you translate this with he announced his departure? He didn’t, because mid-August (10 days before he got fired) he and his co-star were still discussing whether CM should stay or not. If you think he shouldn’t have announced his plans after December, then you know maybe he wouldn’t have if that reporter hadn’t asked him. Ever thought about CMs teams being behind that?

And I don’t believe for one second that it was CM who didn’t want intimate scenes with his co-star. Not towards the end that’s for sure. Just watch them both and you’ll see. It’s the writing that didn’t allow anything happening between the characters – talk about unequal treatment! And if the writing in that respect sucked, then I believe it’s CMs team or TPTB that that had their say in that. Not CM. And certainly not Freddie Smith.

And what’s that thing with the 11 months of negativity? No idea what you mean. Have you SEEN how the sudden recast announcement (and the way it was done, by a fellow actor, never by NBC itself!) has increased negativity among the recast? If anything, it’s that! And have you seen the reactions to Meng’s crappy interview – full of contradictions with what he is saying and what he has said in the past! And what they say about Guy Wilson also has no logic whatsoever and you can tell by two Daytime Royalty interviews with Freddie Smith, that he is not happy. I totally agree that it’s messy, but it’s not because of Chandler Massey. The mess is all on Corday and Meng and the rest of their lot. They had their very planned reasons for firing Chandler Massey on the day they did. Perfectly crappy timing. Go check on what the new Will’s dude first scenes are supposed to be. Just do the math! TPTBs actions should not be tolerated, ESPECIALLY with regard to the gay thematic (in Soaps more specifically). This should blow up in their faces, so the bigotry ends once and for all.

I have little hope.
