This just in. A source close to the set of Days of Our Lives says news of Jay Kenneth Johnson (Philip) leaving the sudser has proven premature.

"Jay is back!" says the source. "It was all just a stupid misunderstanding."

The source also reveals Peter Reckell (Bo) and Kristian Alfonso (Hope) agreed to take massive pay cuts.

"And good for them!" says the source. "It says a lot about Peter and Kristian for them to do that. It says that they are team players and want the show to succeed."

Even more top tier Days actors are being asked to take substantial cuts as well. Keep checking back to Daytime Confidential as this story develops.

Sorry for doubleposting, but here's new spoilers.

Quote:

For the week of December 8th:

---After they were almost killed by their "business" associates, Stefano and EJ returned to the mansion where they realized someone has breached security. Stefano counseled EJ to make things official with Nicole. EJ knew he had to do it, but first, he had to make things completely "unofficial" with Sami. He talked Roman into calling her and EJ told Sami goodbye.

---Rafe broke into the DiMera mansion. While there, he almost discovered Nicole's secret. She covered, but he still knew something was amiss. Later, he and Sami trimmed the tree and shared a little bonding time. Meanwhile, the killer had identified Rafe and when Sami convinced him to go shopping for her, he was really putting himself in danger. In fact, the killer spotted Rafe – and stabbed him......

---Nicole had a new plan. She was going to adopt. Unfortunately, Brady was onto her. He threatened to tell EJ the truth. When Lucas and Chloe arrived, Nicole used them as a distraction and then got another idea: she bought some cocaine from Brick, the bartender, and drugged Brady's drink. Thankfully, she couldn't go through with it and slapped the drink out of Brady's hand. She came clean and convinced Brady to keep her secret. And Nicole continued searching for a surrogate mother and found one – a young woman named Kelly. Brady went with Nicole to the meeting and was suspicious. He followed Kelly and found her drinking and smoking at the Cheatin' Heart......

---Chloe went to the hospital for another pre-op test. While Daniel was examining her, they shared an electric moment. Both were turned on, but they covered. Feeling guilty, Daniel went to see Kate. The next day, Chloe treated Daniel icily, and that didn't help her blood pressure. They almost had to call off the procedure, but Chloe got it under control and was wheeled off to the operating room.

---Chelsea counseled Max not to throw away the box from Trent. They went to his room and he finally opened the box.

---Thanks to Stephanie, Melanie had a trying first day of work at Titan. In return, Melanie "accidentally" locked Stephanie in the document safe. What she didn't know was that Philip was in there, too. When the safe door opened, Melanie witnessed a near lip-lock between Stephanie and Philip. Philip asked Stephanie out, but she said there was something she needed to take care of, first. Meanwhile, Melanie told Max about seeing Philip and Stephanie; he told her she sounded jealous. Max also told Melanie that Nick was asking why she hadn't responded to any of his letters. Melanie promised to visit him in jail.

---Marlena was shocked to learn that she was now sharing her reception area with Dr. Taylor, John's therapist. John arrived for his session and Marlena reacted to the sound of laughter coming out of the office. Afterward, John gave Marlena very little info about the session. Marlena vented to Kayla, who told her she sounded jealous. Marlena would only say she wanted the old John back. Meanwhile, the new John ran into Dr. Taylor in the park and told her he trusted her.

---Bo and Hope discussed their busy schedules while they were hanging ornaments. Hope believed one of them should quit their job. While putting up the star, Bo fell off the ladder and hit his head. Is he okay?......

Week of December 15th:

---Rafe managed to escape his attacker and made it back to the loft, where Sami had to stitch him up. He didn't want to call the police; he realized someone in the FBI must have tipped off the killer. Rafe got drunk to help kill the pain and shared a little too much. He told Sami she was an idiot for loving EJ when he doesn't love her back. The next day, Rafe tried to put some distance between them, but they kept getting closer. Rafe didn't think he was fit to be Sami's guard anymore, but she wanted him to stay. When Sami slipped and fell, Rafe came to her rescue and it was clear these two were getting closer. Much closer.

---Nicole accused Brady of lying to her about his claim that Kelly, the pregnant girl, was a scam artist. Unfortunately, Brady was telling the truth. Kelly revealed she was not pregnant, and Nicole admitted she was blinded by her desire to give EJ a child. Brady urged her to tell EJ the truth, but all Nicole could do was confess her fear of being an unfit mother. EJ assured her they were in this together and Nicole assured Brady she was keeping her secret.

---EJ continued to defend Nicole – and her choice of doctors – to Stefano, even when he learned she had changed doctors. Meanwhile, Nicole's new doctor – Baker- was blackmailing her for $750,000. She got her hopes up when she learned EJ had set up a $1 million trust fund for her, but she couldn't get her mitts on that cash just yet. Later, EJ told Nicole he wanted to sleep in the same bed as her. Nicole panicked. She denied his request, telling him her hormones were out of control. Things turned from bad to worse when Dr. Baker showed up, demanding his money. What is Nicole going to do?

---Lucas's car broke down so he had trouble getting home to Chloe, who had a surprise waiting. She and Daniel had ended their friendship, agreeing that now they were only connected by Lucas and Kate. But.....Chloe was troubled and Daniel had an erotic dream about her. Meanwhile, Maggie visited Chloe to make sure she was really devoted to Lucas. Chloe assured her she was. But when Daniel arrived with a gift from Kate, he found Chloe with her special, sexy surprise for Lucas.

---Melanie visited Nick in prison, where he gave her his share of the potential profits from his alternative fuels project. Melanie returned to Titan, where she let Philip and Stephanie know that her position was about to change. Philip told her that he didn't want her or the project. She was fired. Melanie took her project directly to Victor, who later accused Philip of putting his personal feelings before business. Philip defended himself – and quit.

---Philip recalled his near kiss with Stephanie, while she was being confronted by Max about her "public display." Stephanie realized Melanie had snitched and later accused her of being jealous. Melanie implied she had slept with Philip, but he denied it. Melanie's jealousy flared even more when she saw Philip and Stephanie canoodling under the mistletoe. They shared their first real kiss and she encouraged him to mend fences with Victor. Philip did, but will Victor take him back......

---Chelsea and Theo found Max at the pier. He was debating whether or not to throw the toy dog Trent had left him into the water. Theo saw and wanted the dog, and Max was only too happy to give it to him.

---EJ accused Lexie of putting his family in danger by going to Stefano about Mayor Marino. Lexie responded, questioning EJ's decision to keep pregnant Nicole under Stefano's roof. Their conflict was escalating as Abe and Theo walked in. Lexie broke down when Theo didn't answer EJ's question about what he wanted for Christmas. She was thrilled later, however, when Theo pointed to a gift and said he wanted it.

Thanks for posting those! WE WANT EJAMI!!

Leneoth · 11-22-2008, 11:01 AM

Yeah, I miss them. But i don't mind Sami and Rafe.
Ej and Nicole on the other hand.

I cannot believe she hasn't told him about the baby. She should tell him, so he can grieve his baby.

I love the Max and Chelsea / Philip and Stephanie spoilers.

And

Karma is a bitch Kate. Chloe and Daniel will probably get it on, and i will enjoy every minute of it because Kate deserves it. She told Chelsea to forgive, move on and grow up

i wonder if she will do the same when she finds out about Daniel/Chloe? Doubt it. She is such a hypocrite.

SOD interviews Blake Berris in this week's issue.

Berris tells SOD that he knew at the end of September that he was being fired. Gary Tomlin told him that his character is the killer, he'd have a big story, "and then basically it's over." Berris says he thought, "Sweet!", because he was playing his "dream role" and that "if you're going to out, there's not a cooler way to go out."

Berris also says that he'd always known that Days was not where he wanted to be forever and that his goal was not to be a soap star, but that soaps offer a "boot camp" type of training where the actor needs to "learn how to deliver with not much time."

The other actors didn't know right away that Berris was fired. Berris and Rachel Melvin were on the phone one night right before they did the scenes before Nick goes to jail, so he told her then. He told Molly Burnett right before Melanie visited Nick in jail. Berris says he was very "manipulative" about when to tell people - "I tried to calibrate them for the scene."

Berris hopes to do some indie films "or cool guest stars" next. He's always liked playing "darker characters", and he'd like to do something "a little more edgy, a little more out there." He says the last few months have been very exciting, and it's made him excited for what's to come.

Berris' last air date is January 15th, and he relates that on his last tape date, it was a "great day", and "people came up to me and said some really beautiful things to me."

Quote:

SOD has a short interview with Rachel Melvin about Max and Chelsea in this week's issue.

Melvin says that Chelsea isn't interested in Daniel again after his breakup with Kate. Chelsea thinks that "Daniel did something to break Kate's heart" because of what Daniel did to Chelsea. Chelsea doesn't trust Daniel anymore, and she's "starting to think he's a player."

Max invites Chelsea to go to Chloe and Lucas' engagement party as his date, but Chelsea decides to go by herself because as SOD says, "she doesn't think he's serious". Melvin says that Max is a "curiosity" that Chelsea "wants to explore", but she's reluctant because of his feelings for Stephanie. Chelsea doesn't know if she likes Max "just because he's there", or "because it's him". Chelsea is also nervous since she and Max were in a relationship once before which didn't work out. But then Melvin says that this would also be a chance for Chelsea to "make things right", and Max is the only person who Chelsea has dated in the past four years who hasn't hurt her - "she hurt him."

SOW interviews Nadia Bjorlin about what happens this coming week in Chloe and Daniel's story. "It's scandalous! Just so wrong on so many levels," Bjorlin says.

Kate arranges Chloe and Lucas's engagement party. Kate only tells them this the day of the party, after they go visit her at the Kiriakis mansion. Bjorlin tells SOW that Lucas and Chloe are "a little taken aback", especially since Chloe "is going through conflicting feelings" for Daniel.

However, Chloe agrees to go to the party. After Kate leaves, Lucas asks Chloe if she's having second thoughts about their getting married, but Chloe tells him that she isn't, even though she can't stop thinking about Daniel.

Before the party, Chloe goes upstairs to change into the dress Kate bought her. Daniel arrives and Kate tells Lucas that she and Daniel are no longer a couple. Lucas thinks that Daniel dumped Kate, and Lucas "decks" Daniel. However, Kate then tells Lucas that she was the one who initiated the breakup. After Daniel comes to, Lucas says he's sorry, and Daniel goes upstairs to look for a first aid kit.

When Daniel is upstairs, he tries to find Chloe. He knocks on her door, and she thinks it's Lucas, so without turning around, she tells the person at the door to come in and help her with her zipper.

Daniel comes in the room and tells Chloe they should stop denying their feelings, and he tells her she shouldn't get married to Lucas if she also has feelings for him. Then he kisses her and slams her against the door. Bjorlin says, "It's sweet, then it's just hot."

Chloe pushes him away and confronts him about his relationship with Kate. He tells her that he and Kate broke up, and that all she needs to do now is break up with Lucas. Then, Chloe gives in, and there is a "volatile passion" between them. "They're ripping each other's clothes off."

But - Lucas then comes to the door. Bjorlin relates that "Chloe doesn't want to get caught and ruin what she has with Lucas."

GOODBYE JOHN AND MARLENA

(SoapOperaNetwork.com) -- After NBC slashed its budget and the show was forced to cut the fat, "Days of our Lives'" John and Marlena are set to ride off into the sunset.

With the economy a bust and falling ratings across the board at NBC and all of its dayparts, NBC shocked the daytime industry with news that not only has it renewed the 43-year-old "Days of our Lives," but it did so with the intention of cutting the soaps budget by 40%. The network left it up to Executive Producer Ken Corday and his Corday Productions, in association with Sony Pictures Television, to decide how they were going to keep the show on the air at such a reduced price. Unfortunately, that decision was easy - cut the most expensive.

Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn are set to exit the NBC drama on Friday, January 23 as Dr. Marlena Evans and John Black say goodbye to their loved ones in Salem. With John's memories failing him, it is anyone's guess if all their happiness from the past will jog John's memory and bring a brighter future for the super-couple.

"There is never an end when a couple leaves happily," said Corday in a statement released to Soap Opera Digest in November. "They're [John and Marlena] not dead. Characters have left and come back [before]."

Let's hope Ken's words hold true as we've learned that the duo will be left fighting for their survival just before making their [happy] exit.

Daniel splits with Kate next week on "Days of Our Lives" and goes right for Chloe - who is engaged to Kate's son, Lucas.

"It's something he just can't seem to control," says Shawn Christian, who plays the devilish doctor. "He had her in his arms at midnight on New Year's and a phone call stopped them. Either that or a twitch of morality."

There's not much "morality" at the engagement party Kate throws for Lucas and Chloe later in the week.

"Lucas decks Daniel at the party because he thinks Daniel dumped Kate," says Christian. "Daniel probably deserves it on many levels, but it's actually Kate who breaks up with Daniel. She wants to focus on her family and her health."

After being dumped and decked, Daniel courts danger.

"He goes upstairs after he gets decked by Lucas and he finds Chloe," says Christian. "Her dress happens to be unzipped. Gentleman that he is, he helps her. Then he expresses his feelings, and she expresses her feelings."

After all these months of denial, Daniel and Chloe finally admit they care about each other.

"Everything explodes in this room," says Christian. "It's raw, honest emotion. Once the feelings are out, she starts slapping him and hitting him. She tells him, 'I hate you!' Rather than just jump each other's bones, they resist. He genuinely says it's not just about sex. It would be easier on both of them if it was just sex."

In the course of all that slapping and denying, things eventually go where they insist they don't want them to.

"If you've seen the fantasies Daniel has been having, then you know what's been going on in his head. Actually, he has shown remarkable restraint up to this party."

Clothes start coming off, but then the third corner of their triangle comes looking for her.

"Lucas finds them before anything serious happens," says Christian. "He knocks on the door and they scamper to their respective corners in complete denial."

No one is the wiser at the party, and the two vow to keep things strictly platonic.

"But the next day Chloe goes to Daniel's apartment to confront him on this very issue. The scene opens with, 'This will never happen again!'"

Yeah, right.

"Now that they've laid their cards on the table, so to speak, it's going to get really interesting," says Christian. "That zipper works the other way, too!"

Dommie · 01-03-2009, 09:40 AM

Ok..so I am not watching.....but I was over at Soap.com and read the recap, they said monday's Philip is going to ask Bo if he minds him dating Stephanie.....why? does it matter? And I read in SOD that the executive producer mentioned bringing Will back....now see Chloe has been with every man on the show, I can see her with an aged Will, thus bringing the end of Lucas and Chloe, much better storyline then this Daniel and Chloe stuff.

Leneoth · 01-03-2009, 10:10 AM

I doubt Chloe will hook up with Will

He's 15 years old!

Yeah, if anyone should be talking to Philip about him dating Stephanie it should be Steve. Not Bo!

but yeah, they are both adults and should be allowed to do whatever they wanna do.
