From the SOD website

Ed Scott was relieved of his Co-Executive Producer duties at DAYS OF OUR LIVES at the end of the work day Friday. He will be replaced by Gary Tomlin, whose long list of soap credits includes EP of SUNSET BEACH. The move comes close on the heels of reported tension between Scott and Head Writer Dena Higley and rumors of Scott allowing actors to change scripts

It makes sense he'd go to DOOL. After OLTL fired him several years ago, he was hired by Passions (in case you couldn't tell from the temping he's done for OLTL since the strike & Passions was cancelled). : D

Gary Tomlin and Dena Higley at DOOL. Now, there's a match made in he- er, heaven. As long as they both stay far, far away from OLTL I'm happy.

I have two things to say: 1. Thank goodness GT won't be writing AT ALL on OLTL anymore and 2. You can now count on Days to be history very very soon. ///Jessica

IA, Any idea when GT's writing ends for OL?...G

The end of Days won't be dependent (sp) on GT. It all rests w/KC, who is the one w/creative control. As I've said before, Shakespeare himself could be credited as HW or EP (Jr) & it wouldn't matter as long as KC is pulling the strings. KC is Sr. EP/co-owner of the show & that is how he likes it. The damage to Days was done long ago, by KC, not by anyone else. eom
