NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF "DOROTHY MUST DIE", DANIELLE PAIGE, JOINS "DAYS" STAFF AS NEW SCRIPT WRITER...REPLACES JANET IACOBUZIO
Danielle Paige, the New York Times bestselling author of Dorothy Must Die and its upcoming sequel The Wicked Will Rise, has been added to the "Days" writing staff as a new script writer. Paige previously spent a decade writing for "Guiding Light" from 1996-2006, where she received two Daytime Emmy nominations (2003, 2005). Paige, 40, is a graduate of Columbia University and lives in New York City.
Paige replaces Janet Iacobuzio, who had written 121 "Days" scripts since 2011, and whose last episode aired August 5. Paige was first listed in the staff credits on August 10, so look for her first script to air within the next week or so.
In an interview with USA Today in 2013, Paige had this to say about her time writing for soaps: "Soaps don't take you to Oz, but we had cloning stories and ghosts, and it's like, "OK, how do I write dialogue for that?!" When you get to something like this, it's about making things that aren't real feel right, and it was really good practice for that...I've always been fascinated with Oz, and I like the idea of the young-adult world. When I was writing soaps, I liked writing the young characters and I like a lot of teen stuff. I like that part of kids' lives where everything's new and heightened because it's a first time."
