They discuss \nthe impact the firings of these veteran actors will have on the show. \nThey talk about what this means for the remaining actors over forty still on the show and \nspeculate who Ken Corday might axe next. They answer a reader's question of \nwhich is worse, to watch vets like Nichols and Evans get fired and keep the Days \nof Our Lives sets or have the show end up with a production model like Guiding \nLight. Luke asks if these latest firings could all be apart of Corday's scheme \nto get Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn back later in the year. Mike, Jamey and \nJillian weigh in on if they think it is a realist possibility.

Fans of Patch and Kayla \nand Days of Our Lives call in with their reaction to the surprising firings and \nvent their frustrations at the decisions by NBC, Corday, Higley and the other \nexecutives at the show.
