'Days of our Lives' Writer Dena Higley: "Love Conquering All" Is The Goal of Stories

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest, new Days of our Lives head writing team of Dena Higley and Ryan Quan outline their vision for iconic NBC soap opera.

“I think for me, the goal this time, especially coming in after a certain period of a lot of dark stories, is that we don’t want to shy away from conflict and drama, but always with the goal of love conquering all,” Higley explains.

The scripts from the new writing duo began airing on September 6.

Adds Quan, “I just want to make the show feel like the show I grew up watching that had a mix of mystery and adventure and romance and fun.”
