DAYS EXEC REFUTES RUMORS
     Don't believe everything you read on the Internet, cautions DAYS OF OUR LIVES Executive Producer Ken Corday.
Rumor No. 1: Lisa Rinna will reprise the role of Billie Reed, which she played from 1992-95. "That's not true," responds Corday. "I think that Krista Allen [1996-99] would want to return sooner and more easily than Lisa."
Rumor No. 2: Shane McDermott (ex-Scott, ALL MY CHILDREN) is the new Eric, replacing Jensen Ackles, who left in July for a six-month development deal at ABC. "First I've heard of it," chuckles Corday. "I'm waiting for Jensen to call me after the first of the year and say he wants to come back."
