Melissa Reeves Has NOT Been Fired From Days of our Lives

Photo: NBC

A technical error caused a bit of a firestorm on Monday night, and a retraction early Tuesday morning when an item appeared most notably on TV Line’s partner’s feed, Yahoo News, that had a headline stating that Melissa Reeves (Jennifer) had been fired from Days of our Lives.

If site visitors and readers looked closely, there were actually two versions of the opening line that appeared.  One of which was noting that Reeves was apologizing for “catching heat” from co-stars and fans for backing a post by Candace Owens that was Anti-Black Lives Matter, and the other one that she was fired from the NBC soap opera.

TV Line early Monday morning issued this statement to clarify what happened and confirmed that Reeves had NOT been fired from DAYS: “Due to technical error, a story was briefly published on TVLine on Monday evening — and has since surfaced on several of our partner feeds, most notably Yahoo — that erroneously claims Days of Our Lives has fired Melissa Reeves. The story is false. Melissa Reeves has not been fired from Days of Our Lives. In the meantime, we apologize for the error.”

How irresponsible for TV LINE to publish this trash. Who is responsible? That person should be canned.

I can’t imagine that someone just typed it up and published it. Sounds like there’s more to the story.

Hi dear fellow soap fan, The first thing you need to know, is that it was Lindsey Godfrey, who initialized the attack on twitter against Melissa. It is Lindsey who should be fired. Is she black? Has she spent her time and money helping someONE, who is black, who can attest to the goodness of her soul? Does anyone attest for her? Celebs, have faced this conflict since choosing to become celebs, rightnow, all of them are unemployed mostly and either retrospective or fighting. Lindsey has no history, so did she earn her role? or ‘big daddy’? …gave her it?… Read more »

I’m so relieved. Days was about to lose a long time fan. This has all been so sad. She is clearly not what the media wants to make her appear to be. It has all looked to me like a deliberate knock against Melissa. IG screenshoots look photoshopped to me. I’m glad this will end well. Now we can look forward to more JnJ.

The media didnt make her into anything she’s not. She’s a conservative. She’s tweeted anti gay sentiments and is agzinst BLM. Those are facts. What they obviously explained was wrong was that she was fired.

and, it’s ok to be CONSERVATIVE. WE MATTER, TOO.

Racism has nothing to do with the BLM organization. They are only out to usurp America. If BLM cared about blacks, then they would not destroy black businesses and would be equally concerned about all the black lives wiped out in the cities in America, esp the children.

There is a difference between the BLM Movement (which is mostly peaceful), and the BLM organization, which is organized looters, destroyers, arsonists, etc.

Too bad it’s not true. The show is getting rid of their gay couple, but keep this woman who supports Candace Owens AND Chick-fil-A. I believe in freedom of speech, but NOT when such words are in support of discrimination. Shame on Ms. Reeves and Days of our Lives.

Omg. Nothing is fake! The only thing they said that was in error was that she was fired. Her comments and/or support for anti-gay Chick-Fil-A were accurate…as was her stance against the BLM movement. Her freedom of choice…but controversial.

she’s in the wrong business if she anti gay, and well if she doesn’t understand the blm movement then may god save her soul. Nbc and Dool will have to ask themselves if her stance works against what they believe or she’s entitle to have an apposing polarizing point of view. They will either get pushback from their viewers or nobody will care, either way, I can’t believe Melissa Reeves is a “Karen”, little Melissa will soon find out that being a Karen is not “IN”.

The film/tv industry has always been anti-gay. The number of actors who were forced to live in “the closet” or lose everything is legendary. And it is still happening. There are many straight actors playing LGBTQ characters BUT you rarely see the reverse on screen. Straight actors have been nominated for Oscars or Emmys for playing LGBTQ characters and in some cases won the award. Freddie Smith, a straight actor, is playing an openly gay man. In fact, Freddie Smith is ONLY THE SECOND actor to portray an openly gay character on a soap opera. The first was Harold Wentworth… Read more »

Mary, I agree with the opinions you expressed here–particularly that Hollywood and soaps have been pretty antigay most of the time–but I can’t leave one thing you said unchallenged: “In fact, Freddie Smith is ONLY THE SECOND actor to portray an openly gay character on a soap opera. The first was Harold Wentworth in 2001-2003. Soap operas have been in existence for 50 plus years. Only two openly gay characters in all that time?” That’s just not true. Though the record is certainly not great, there have been openly gay characters on soaps at least as far back as the… Read more »

Anybody who retweets the delusional Candace Owens probably needs a mental health evaluation at the very least. Paging Dr. Laura! (the real one, not Abigail’s imaginary friend)

Malcolm X had a name for people like Candace. Which a Devil will not bother repeating here, but y’all can look it up if you don’t know it.

I’m a gay man and I like her. I don’t care if she eats Chik-fil-A. For Christ’s sake, I eat Chik-fil-A. People need to stop with the cancel culture already. You all just think to know what is exactly in her heart and mind. Mind your own business. Reminds me of lyrics from a Dolly Parton song. A long time gone and a long time ago When I shattered my image with the stones I’d throw The world is cruel and people are cold They shatter my image with the stones they throw Shatter my image with the stones they… Read more »

Agree with Adam — the cancel culture is doing nothing but throwing stones and shattering lives. There will be only one judge! Leave Melissa alone! She has a right to eat Chick-fil-A or from any other so-called conservative outlet and be a conservative if she wants to. I don’t think that CFA is that conservative anyway since Mr. Cathy passed. Let’s talk soaps?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Just because you don’t agree with it doesn’t mean the other person is wrong. There are lots of people whose opinions, beliefs, etc. I don’t agree with. Doesn’t mean I think they should be fired, shunned, or I don’t watch them on TV. People just need to stop with this “cancel culture”. It’s not right.

In this case too many Black people are being executed by the police in this country for people to just idly stand by and let racist people spout out their venom and do or say nothing. The time is now to say STOP! This is unacceptable, and we as a nation will no longer tolerate it.
It’s very simple. I’m a white person, and I can clearly see the need for BLM. Change people, make racism a thing of the past. Stop enabling racists! God! It’s not rocket science!

She should be fired. Stassi and Kristen got fired from Vanderpump Rules for saying/doing racist things, and Jennifer should be fired too. It would be a good lesson to those in Hollywood to THINK before they post or say something racist in today’s world. Now whenever I see her on the show my stomach turns a little bit thinking she thinks she’s superior to black people, nauseating.

Did she actually say anything. Allegedly she computer liked a comment made about blm by a conservative African American woman who is in many quarters of the African American is very controversial. It really is time for people to calm down and engage in conversation with each other instead of trying to destroy one another. An eye for eye only results in two blind people. Before you brand me a racist I am African American and Iam not a Candace Owens fan and support blm.

Melissa Reeves is no longer regarded ? remember how Jenny Bear was stifled, stuck, sic’ of her ? then @DAYS hires Kate Mansi (Abs) And Casey Moss (JJ). just like that; instantaneous combustion !!!!

It’s disgusting that Americans cannot have different opinions… that do not agree with Liberal narratives. Read the Constitution on Freedom of Speech, Libs. Not all of us agree with you, however, we agree that you have a right to express yourselves, AND, SO DO WE.

‘The View’s’ Whoopi Goldberg Tells Audience to Stop ‘Booing’ Republican Senator Tim Scott

During a bizarre couple of segments of Monday’s episode of The View, Republican presidential candidate, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, was the special guest.

The conversation between the conservative politician and The View co-hosts, Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro took some uncomfortable and tense turns.

At one point, Goldberg posed the question to Scott, as to why the Republican Party was trying to “stop the progression that people are making.” Scott started answering and said that his political party was doing a “fabulous job at making progress” with social issues. Hostin  asked him to elaborate on that point.  It was then, that the senator turned his back to Goldberg, which promoted Whoopi to interject “That was me talking to you …. shall I come next to her?”

Goldberg then stood next to Hostin as Scott continued to face away from the other co-hosts and address the two.  After proving her point, Whoopi went back to her seat a The View table.

Then, production signaled Goldberg to toss to break, but Scott was continue to speak.  So instead of interrupting him, someone else from the production staff walked on camera and told Scott they were going to break.

However, when the show returned, and Ana Navarro asked her question, if the senator thought the ‘Republican Party had gone too far’ in introducing legislature against the LGBTQ+ community, including Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill, plus Floria governor and Republican presidential candidate, Ron DeSantis’ feud with Disney, Scott’s response drew ire from some in the live audience with many booing the guest.

Next, Goldberg shut down the ‘boos” scolding the audience with: “Not here. I’m sorry sir. Do not ‘boo’. This is The View. We accept … we don’t have to believe everything people say, but you cannot “boo” people here, please. You cannot do it.”

Watch the ‘daytime drama’ on The View below, and then let us know what you thought of Tim Scott’s appearance on the ABC daytime talk show via the comment section.

Walt Willey Brings All My Children’s Jackson Montgomery to General Hospital

Look for another legal eagle character from a former ABC soap opera to pop up on General Hospital!

News today out of Soap Opera Digest has that none other than Walt Willey set to reprise his role as All My Children’s Jackson Montgomery on upcoming episodes of GH in July.

Willey played Erica Kane’s (Susan Lucci) love interest and the Pine Valley lawyer from 1987 through to till ABC’s cancellation of the series back in 2011.  The actor previously crossed-over to another soap opera in 1996, when he played Jack on ABC’s The City.

Taking to his Facebook account, Walt confirmed the news on his appearances on GH: “Hey Folks… Been sitting on this one for a while but now I’ve been given the clearance to announce that “Jackson Montgomery” is visiting Port Charles! I’ll be doing a few episodes of General Hospital, due to air mid July. So excited to reprise my character and see and work with old friends! I’ll keep you posted on any details. “Jackson” in Port Charles…who would have thought it? Let me, and ABC, know what you think about it!”

Could Jack’s sudden arrival in Port Charles have to do with the SEC and the trouble that Carly (Laura Wright) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) find themselves in?   Will AMC fans get to see Cameron Mathison and Willey share scenes together again?  Mathison played Ryan Lavery on the beloved former soap opera … or might Jack go up against Martin Grey in a GH legal battle, so Michael E. Knight and Willey could share scenes together again since their AMC days?

So, excited to see Walt on General Hospital? What do you think brings Jack to Port Charles? Weigh-in below and stay tuned.
