Mouths around the soap world collectively dropped this weekend as the unthinkable happened. The recently-renewed Days of Our Lives, fired its biggest supercouple Deidre Hall (Dr. Marlena Evans) and Drake Hogestyn (John Black). In this special episode of the DC podcast Luke, Mike and Jamey invite veteran soap journalist Nelson Branco (TV Guide Canada's The Suds Report) and former Days writer Tom Casiello to weigh in from the perspective of industry insiders.Reactions to the shocking news are gauged from the panel, including: Branco, who reveals Days of Our Lives was the first soap he ever watched and how he first fell in love with the ravishing Hall even before discovering Andrea Evans and One Life to Live; and Casiello, who during his last few months on the soap before the Writers' Strike, was part of a team under Hogan Sheffer that was forced to script out the soap's "Big Four" (Hall, Hogestyn, Kristian Alfonso and Peter Reckell) due to their reported astronomical salaries and ultimately made the decision to kill of the wildly-popular character of John Black— since they were prohibited from using Hogestyn— only to see executive producer Ken Corday panic about fan response and order them to bring the character and actor back.The DC gang also give their perspective based on their varying histories with the show. Jamey, who has been watching the show for the better part of three decades, reveals his dismay that lower level stars like Molly Burnett, Shelly Hennig, Josh Taylor, Thaao Penghlis, Leanne Hunley and Shawn Christian weren't cut first before the show even considered touching the Big Four; Mike, who watched in the early 80's and only recently tuned back in, conveys he still can't believe the show hired Josh Taylor, who once played Roman and Marlena's pal Chris Kositchek as a recast for Wayne Northrop's Roman, with Branco adding that move was a "Jump The Shark" moment for him as well before noting that Taylor is good friends with Corday; Luke, who has watched Days sine the 90's, speculates the brass could be moving to strategically weed out most of the show's veteran performers to repackage Days for an eventual sale to ABC or SOAPnet.The discussion then moves to what this means for the future of Days of Our Lives and the genre as a whole. If an international superstar like Hall isn't safe, who could be next? Reckell? Alfonso? Sweeney? Taking it a step further, will other soaps start to think their top stars are expendable? Could we see a day when the headline is "Susan Lucci Out", or "Eric Braeden Axed"? This is an episode of Daytime Confidential you don't want to miss.

On today's show Luke and Jamey visit with Tom Casiello, veteran soap scribe turned blogger, about his career in the daytime industry. He tells of what it was like to work on Another World during its final years on air. Casiello reminisces about his time on As the World Turns and what it was like to be apart of the show's rejuvenation under Hogan Sheffer and the advice Sheffer gave him when he began working at One Life to Live. He shares a story about a recent encounter with As the World Turns' Ellen Dolan and how the As the World Turns cast and crew were really like a family. We discuss his time at Days of Our Lives and whether or not the "Big Four" were actually back burnered. He talks about writing John Black's funeral and answers the question of whether or not he'd return to the show he's watched since childhood, given the opportunity.Casiello talks about his blog, being fired from Days of Our Lives and how the Writers Strike helped him realize the importance of the Writers Guild. He talks about the impact of the Writers Strike on the elimination of the Breakdown Writer from many shows and explains the difference between a Breakdown Writer and an Associate Head writer. He provides his thoughts on the evolution of internet soaps such as Eden Riegel's Imaginary Bitches and Karen Harris' Life in General.We discuss all this and much more on today's episode of Daytime Confidential.
