Fantastic news! For Ken Corday: Days is in our hearts and we are glad to go on those great character journeys with you–recently the re-wedding of Kayla and Patch. Thanks for wonderful memories, romances, fantasies. I cherish them–and look forward to many, many more.

Exciting news, but it’s actually renews for the 53rd season! DAYS is contracted for another 18 months!

I truly hope Ron can bring some good story telling to this soap. It was dreadful before the ridiculous decision to bring Hingley back and even more so during her time. It will take some creative undoing of the damage she did in such a short period of time.

Very happy it was renewed.

I’m glad to read about the renewal; that gives Ron the chance to work his magic!

So glad..Not surprising since they hire Ron C…He will give new life to the show, but he tends to get tacky and cartoonish as time goes on, but he is a good writer who is more refreshing than all the rest of the writing stable on Daytime soaps!!

I will be tuning in once his regime goes in effect..I wish DOOL will stop taping sooo far ahead..That is actually its biggest downfall!! The show announces some new casting news or writing/production changes and by the time it happens months later, the buzz is gone!!

This is great news for the cast, crew and fans. I have had the opportunity to meet the cast twice during the past few years and I am happy for all of them.

I have been a viewer since the days of Amanda, Greg, Chris, Julie, Doug, Don, Bob, Liz and Trish (almost 40 years). I have loved that “Days” is using their history to bring back Valerie Grant to mix it up with Julie. Susan Seaforth needs to be utilized more than comedy relief and for being a nosy relative. It is time the show uses her that way they found a jewel in Maggie after years of neglect. Julie could easily be the matriarch of the show. I would love to see Julie and Doug use the Martin House as a way to have several family members under one roof.

I think “Days” missed a huge opportunity of killing off David Banning. He obviously had a strained relationship with Julie and could have a lot of storyline with Julie, Valerie and his son. Didn’t he once have a rivalry with Mike Horton too? This could have been a great storyline with many layers.

As much as I love many of the legacy characters, it is time to realize that most of our favorites were popular 30+ years ago. I want an age-appropriate storyline for Marlena and John that doesn’t have to do with his heritage. I want to see family dynamics with Jennifer and Hope. It is time to trim the cast and realize that some of that money needs to be spent on the future of the show. Is there anyone out there that believes Claire, Theo, Jade and Joey are bringing in ratings? Please listen to your audience. This rapidly-aged teen set is NOT working.

The Chloe/Nicole baby storyline feels like a “been there, done that” storyline that has used too many times. Let’s see Nicole back in the business world and show here strengths. I do not want to watch her crying for weeks over not having her baby. Chloe being awarded custody was crazy. Doesn’t she have drugs and prostitution on her resume?

I can’t wait to see what Ron C. has in store for the show. Let’s hope that it is the reboot that the show needs and Ken Corday doesn’t have to deliver another “hang in there” interview again next year. I want the show to have a larger budget to have a few remote shots. I am so tired of seeing Horton Square, the park, the Brady Pub and Victor’s living room. I also want to see better continuity. Was Hope and Rafe really dancing two scenes later after finding out David (Hope’s cousin) had died in a motorcycle crash?

Lastly, recast EJ or bring back Peter Blake and let Kristen DiMera have more great scenes with Brady. If Jen Lilly does not want to come back, recast the role. I would also love to see Eve come back to town and have a storyline that is worthy of her talent. It would also be good to see Cassie and Rex come back to town. Kate is better dealing with family matters than sleep walking through her scenes with Eduardo.

I believe this is nothing more than a brief stay of execution, postponing the inevitable. This is undoubtedly sink or swim time for Days, and will be its absolute FINAL chance to survive. The ratings are still very poor from what we see posted here each week. Quite frankly, based on these numbers you’d have to be naive to think that NBC executives are 100% (or even 75%) happy with the show’s performance. Obviously, they were somehow able to agree with Sony on a bargain-basement licensing fee that makes financial sense for both sides. I truly wonder how much lower they had to go in an effort to offset such poor ratings and surely diminished ad revenue.

I believe that this decision has everything to do with the ridiculously long 5-6 month period of time ahead that the show tapes. Reportedly, episodes to air in early July have already been taped! Even though the show’s contract was due to expire this September, TPTB at NBC and Sony almost certainly realized that that would not be an adequate period of time to wrap up the show. Ron Carlivati has a ton of work to do in such a short period of time to repair all the damage that has been done to the show by the previous inept writing regime. And based on Re-Ron’s arrogant attitude toward fans (peons) who have the audacity to give him constructive criticism on Twitter and how he ruined GH with his constant nonsensical brand of writing before he was booted out of there not even 2 years ago, I’m honestly not optimistic at all. Sorry.

How many reboots, restarts, and staff changes has Days endured in the last 5 years? Can’t these soaps for once hire some new, young blood instead of hiring the same old hacks who fail at another show and are clearly out of touch with modern times? I don’t trust Ken Corday, who has shown over and over again that he’s out of touch and doesn’t care one iota about what fans want to see.

When is Ron material starting? Inwill tune in

Very happy about this news. Don’t watch Days but I’m happy it’s sticking around. The daytime drama is an all American icon.

I am so excited to hear this wonderful news. I am the third generation watcher in my family. Days is the longest running soap, if my mind recalls correctly. I just cannot imagine it not being there. Thank you and I love the cast of Days.

Great news! Happy to hear it.

This is the best news I’ve heard ALL DAY, probably up there with the whole week!!! I love me my Days, and so happy that they are doing all they can to keep the final four on, and keeping them in the best shape possible. I hope Ron puts the funk in it like he did with GH and Oltl. This gives him a chance to do it all, very excited. I’m already watching and they are paying hard attention to the history, Shane’s Brother? I hope the battles between the families stop though. I also hope that Ron uses this opportunity to bring Jack back, in my opinion the biggest mistake made on the show, and Jennifer and her family and the show would only benefit from the return of this complicated character with a rich history of being a hero and a villain. He needs to stay this time. I am just excited the show is staying on though. I bet all those negative Nelles feel stupid now, or are just being negative somewhere else.

I just new God would save it I just wish they would go back to the 60s 70s and 8os and look at the storys and use them today God can do anything you just have to belive

Congratulations to the Cast and Crew, Management and the Loyal Fans of DOOL!

Was thrilled to be able to share this information with my grandma on her 97th birthday. She gets another year of “her stories”, God willing
