Due to the ever growing pinch of the economy, more fireations have spread over to daytime tv. One of the shows getting hit the hardest is Days of Our Lives.
Days of Our Lives' veterans Deidre Hall (Marlena) and Drake Hogestyn (John) have been chopped, due to the show's recent massive budget cuts.
Famous for their portrayals of the popular Marlena and John, the tempestuous lovers will "be happily reunited after a long period of angst and separation and will be off-screen after January for an unknown period of time," according to exec producer Ken Corday.
Corday adds that it was a "very tough decision to make."
I'm sure the loyalists will be beyond pissed when they hear this news. That's like getting rid of Susan Lucci on All My Children. Or Viki on One life to Live. You can't chop the veterans. There are worse actors on DOOL that should be registering for unemployment. And you know who you are. What I will miss is Emmy-award winning performances like this one below from Marlena:
