DAYS OF OUR LIVES STARS FIRED
In what appeared to be a move to cut costs, the producers of the long-running Days of Our Lives have fired two of the soaps' biggest stars, Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn, the New York Post reported today (Wednesday). In a statement that the newspaper said was "obviously written to spare the feelings of loyal fans," NBC said, " Days of Our Lives has decided to rest the characters of John Black and Dr. Marlena Evans. ... After a year of separation, John and Marlena will finally reunite before exiting the canvas in early 2009." Hall has appeared on the soap since 1976; Hogestyn, since 1984. It is the only daytime drama currently airing on NBC.

I have been watching this show since the first day it was aired. It's like you
are taking away part of my family. They are wonderful. In fact, this is the
only soap I watch since Another World was taken off the air.
They sure will be missed.
Love and Prayers,

John and Marlena are the focus of Days of our Lives. I've watcfhed it almost
from the beginning. It will not be Days without John and Marlena. If they leave
I will never watch Days again and I'm sure ther are a lot of fans out there
that feel the way I do. If you want to let someone go, then let some of the
younger players go such as Nick, Chelsea or even Kate. Das is not Days without
John and Marlena.
