For all you fellow members from the great state of Oklahoma here's a little tidbit about our wonderful stomping ground.......Greg Meng, an Oklahoma native from Hooker, (in the panhandle near Beaver.....honest) is the executive in charge of production for “Days of our Lives” and recently co-authored a coffee-table book, “Days of our Lives — 45 Years: A Celebration in Photos.” Maybe I should look the fellow Okie up and have a little come to Jesus meeting with him......  |

If that doesn't work you can always bake him some cupcakes, ala Kate...

One of my best friends at OU was from Hooker, OK! Of course, we teased that poor sweet Baptist girl unmercifully! Now, how does a nice rural Okie boy end up working for Days, I wonder?

LOL, what I enjoy so much about this thread is how quickly it moved from maybe I should have a little talk with my fellow Okie to .... or you could just poison him.  That'll teach him about the influence of media on society and why he should have made more responsible programming decisions.  |

Oh my, I did kind of go right for the kill, didn't I? Maybe I'm more like Kate than I want to admit ;D

No worries ATD, I'm pretty fond of Kate myself. I guess that explains why I enjoyed your proposed Plan B so much.

Ah, thanks, kazz. I could never actually follow through, but I sure do enjoy a little retribution planning myself now and again. Channelling my inner Kate is what Im gonna call it from now on.
Funny how we both love Kate and Vivian and the old Sami, Virgos are not so pure I suppose. LOL!

I'm not positive, but I think Executive in Charge of Production handles business and legal issues and not story telling stuff....but who knows, with the budget cuts maybe they write too....!!!!

@pa, I agree, I'm sure Meng isn't doing the writing ... Tomlin is too busy micromanaging that job. Meng is one of the few associated with Days that I don't have an issue with (at least not yet) ... and the news that he is from Oklahoma might explain why. @atd: You know Alison Sweeney is a Virgo too. I think that's why she enjoys (or at least used to) the role of Sami. She has always said that Sami does things she would never dream of so it kept the role fun for her.... come to think of it, Sami is still doing things Ali would probably never do, but dumb and weak just can't be as much fun to play. Say what you will about Kate, Viv and Original Sami but they are fearless survivors... I like to think that's the Virgo connection.  Plus, Kate and Viv are just being practical when they decide upon homicide as the most efficient means to an end and they do tend to go for neat, orderly murders - you know how much we Virgos appreciate practicality and orderliness. Disclaimer: all in good fun, no associates of Days were harmed in the postings of this thread |

You made some really good points kazz. Didn't know Ali was a Virgo. Makes me proud to be one too...that woman is a workhorse! Next time Kate decides to off someone that's how I'm explaining it to my husband...she was just being practical, baby! LOL!
