Ashlee Holland was supposed to begin taping her Days of our Lives role last Friday, but the date has now been pushed back. For good reasons.

Hogan Sheffer, the head writer on Days of our Lives, decided he wanted to beef up the part and give Holland some real material into which she could sink her teeth.

Those that saw the live finale of I Wanna be a Soap Star saw a clip where after Ashlee's performance of one of the tasks, Sheffer said, "I want to write for you."

Looks like he was serious.

Holland will now begin taping November 30 and is scheduled to air December 26.
