Hot on the heels of the news that DAYS got a pickup (at an extremely reduced fee from NBC), Digest has learned that negotiations between the show and Jay Kenneth Johnson (Philip) have broken down and the actor cleared out his dressing room yesterday. Money is said to be the main issue. "Everyone is being asked to take a paycut," reports an insider. Sources say the show is looking for a potential recast and actors are being brought into the studio today to read. A DAYS spokesperson says, "No comment."

If this is true all I can say is: WOO HOO! Go JAY!!
I will be relieved to see him away from this crapfest of a show. Everything about it sucks, from the backstage agendas to the awful storylines and mismatched pairings. IMO Daytime is dying and DOOL is dying. JKJ is at the age where he seriously needs to get out of this hot mess and fulfil his potential. I say run like the wind and don't look back!
