            They are trying to get Stephen Nichols to come back
            as well as keep Mary Beth Evans.  Her contract is up 
       ->   in May.  She has been unhappy with her lack of story
            and airtime for the past year and has been talking
            of leaving the show.  If Stephen decides to come back
            Corday wants Mary Beth Evans to remain at DAYS.

               Not for me!! Excuse my discontent but I am
               envious of Drake lovers who have been able
               to enjoy their guy in bed with Dani all hot
               and steamy while Jack lusters (like moi) get
               to watch Jack being made a fool of.  I just
               cringed when I heard Jen say "Maybe you're
               suffering from sympathetic stage fright Jack"!
               Has her brain taken a vacation?  Duh!! This
               story is the ultimate in humiliation for Matt!
               Can anyone write for this man? 2 duds in a row!
          ->   GET RID OF IT!!!... Anyway....I am leary of 
               Palumbo rejoining the writing team of DAYS
               because he did bring in Peck, and he wanted
               to keep him around,..BUT...he also intended
               IzzyB to miscarry after her car plunged into
               the river. Since Diedre's new soap was given
               a thumbs down by NBC Corday wants to change
               the direction of this soap. He's tired of 
               mediocre ratings.  In order to do that Rabin
               had to go.  If Corday means what he says then
               Palumbo will have to follow Ken's guidelines.
               That in itself should be a major plus for DAYS!


               A better person to write would be:
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                ->   John Miller
                     Executive Vice-President of Daytime

               at the same address given above.  In fact he
               would be your best bet, then Susan Lee, and
               then Corday.
