Social Media - November 2024

I remember the huge uproar back then, as so many Salemites were being killed off one after the other, so quickly. The actors were all shocked as they were being let go, & finally the headwriter was fired, and all the murdered Salemites were eventually found alive on an island......I believe it was called Melaswen (New Salem spelled backwards).
 
Jim Reilly (headwriter at the time) wasn't fired, but Sony and NBC listened to the viewers' outrage and made him bring back all of the dead Salemites, no matter how ridiculous the explanation, which is how we got the Melaswen storyline. That all happened in 2004. He left Days in August of 2006.

Here's the 6/1/2004 SOD issue saying they're all alive:
