Now here is some not so good news for the folks down under and Days of our Lives! After 45 years on the air in Australia having debuted there in 1968, Channel Nine is discontinuing airing episodes of DAYS and will air its final episode on April 26th.
According to Australia’s TV Tonight a network spokesperson said, “Nine is revamping the timeslot. We made a commercial decision not to renew Days Of Our Lives.” However, last week DAYS ratings were up in Australia, averaging 126,000 viewers and beating TEN’s Ready Steady Cook (124,000) and Seven’s Dr. Oz (118,000). It ranked second the week before.
This isn’t the first time Nine has dropped a Sony soap, either! In 2007 Nine dropped The Young and the Restless after 31 years for the short-lived panel show The Catch-Up. Fans flooded Nine’s online forums at the time. Foxtel wasted no time in snapping up the show, which now airs on Arena.
Let it also be known that DAYS in Australia is at least a year and half behind on U.S. episodes, as it gets pushed back each year for Cricket season televised games by the television network.
Looks like Australia is getting a bad case of the cancellation soap flu! Why are the American soaps not captivating foreign audiences anymore, unless it’s The Bold and the Beautiful? Why do you think the Australian market lost interest in DAYS? Weigh-in!

‘Heated Rivalry’ Star Franco LoPresti Opens Up About ‘Days of our Lives’ Debut as Dante Vitali
Next week on Monday, September 14 will mark the first appearance in Salem of Franco LoPresti in his new Days of our Lives role of Dante Vitali.
Heated Rivalry fans now LoPresti very well from his part as hockey player Cliff Marleau in the series first season. (No word yet if Cliff appears in season 2).
Now in a conversation with TV Insider, DAYS fans will learn that LoPresti is on the soap for a limited run. No timetable was given.

When LoPresti does burst onto the scene come Monday, Dante makes quite the impact as Franco LoPresti explains. It seems that viewers will first see him in scenes in Monte Carlo at a poker table with none other than Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) and Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier). However, Dante will come to Salem to talk to the Brady family about his supposed fiancée Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney).
Franco shared, “Dante was born and grew up in Italy and educated at this pretty top-tier English boarding school. He then went on to build his own dynasty in finance, all the while trying to distance himself from the Vitali name (as viewers know Tamara Braun played his cousin Ava Vitali).”
“But at the core of Dante, there’s definitely an old-school quality to him”, continued LoPresti. “He’s super passionate, he’s sincere and incredibly generous, but he’s also someone that you probably shouldn’t underestimate. Loyalty is something that means a lot to him. As Dante enters Salem, I think the audience will get to slowly peel back those layers and discover what’s really driving him. So, I’m excited for Days fans to go on that ride with Dante.”

As it turns out, LoPresti taped his episodes of DAYS starting back in November 2025 which happened to be weeks before Heated Rivalry became a smash hit.
Franco recalled, “It’s so funny because I thought my episodes would air in a month (on Days of our Lives). But I found out it was nine to 10 months and I was like, ‘I gotta wait that long?!’ So, I’ve been biting my nails, trying not to think about it, and I think it’s actually kind of helped because now it’s here and it’s all coming at me from all different angles. I’m nervous. I’m excited, and I just can’t wait to see it all come together. It’s one of the best jobs I’ve ever had for sure.”
In his personal life, Franco just had his first child with wife, actress Emily Alatalo, just a weeks ago on August 23rd when they welcomed their daughter, Stella into the world.
So, looking forward to seeing Franco LoPresti’s debut come Monday? What do you think about the fact that it’s being reported as a limited run? Do you think Dante and Sami have a chance on-screen or off-screen to be a happy couple? What do you really think brings Dante to Salem sans Sami? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.
In a metaphor for the start of the school year and their upcoming anniversary in November, Days of our Lives revealed its “Class of Season 62,” with a very clever yearbook montage on their social media handles, welcoming new cast members, while paying respect to the veterans and “class”-iying the other characters in Salem.
The official Days of our Lives Instagram account shared on the posting, “The Class of Salem Season 62 has arrived. Familiar faces, new names and plenty of personality. Flip through our yearbook for a peek at this year’s class.”
Let’s take a look at how they broke it all down: The Salem Yearbook starts with saying “another unforgettable season,” with some group pics, and then we dovetail into Salem’s new class which features: Sydney Malakeh (Sydney DiMera), Brandon Butler (Mason Whitfield), Angelica Nero (Victoria Kiriakis), Cole Gersmeyer (Thomas DiMera) and Lorelei Olivia Mote (Rachel Black).

Next up, are the likes of: Cherie Jimenez (Gabi Hernandez), John-Paul Lavoisier (Philip Kiriakis), Tyler Joseph Andrews (Theo Carver) and LeeAnn Hopkins (Joy Wesley). Then, in the “Drama Club” section are: Dan Feuerriegel (EJ DiMera) and AnnaLynne Cipriani (Cat Greene).
Following the ‘Recess” section with some group snaps, comes “Homeroom Highlights” with: Abigail Klein (Stephanie Johnson), Eric Martsolf (Brady Black), Rob Scott Wilson (Alex Kiriakis), Lamon Archey (Eli Grant) and Sal Stowers (Lani Price Grant).
The “Salem Spectator” section features: Conner Floyd (Chad DiMera), Greg Rikaart (Leo Stark), Stowers again, and Ashely Puzemis (Holly Jonas). In the “Afternoon Sweets” section look for: Paul Telfer (Xander Kiriakis) and Linsey Godfey (Sarah Horton), Emily O’ Brien (Gwen Rizchech), Stacy Haiduk (Kristen DiMera/Susan Banks), Brandon Beemer (Shawn Brady), plus Jackée Harry (Paulina Price).
Towards the end of the yearbook, veteran performers such as: Mary Beth Evans (Kayla Johnson), Stephen Nichols (Steve Johnson), Lauren Koslow (Kate Roberts) and Josh Taylor (Roman Brady) are featured, plus Deidre Hall (Marlena Evans), James Reynolds (Abe Carver) and Matthew Ashford (Jack Deveraux), Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie Williams) and Suzanne Rogers (Maggie Kiraikis) with her on-screen daughter, Linsey Godfrey.
The Salem Yearbook comes to a conclusion noting “Big things happening in Salem” and to tune-in on Peacock, where we also find Jacob Martinez (Javi Hernandez), Maggie Carney (Rita Lesley), and a host of other favorites previewing what’s to come this fall.
So, what do you think of the Days of our Lives Class of Season 62? Looking forward to seeing what happens in Salem? Did you like the yearbook concept for promotional tune-in? Let us know via the comment section below.

‘Days of our Lives’ Head Writers Give Fall 2026 Preview: Marlena and Stefano’s Chess Mystery, The Arrivals of Dante and Sydney, Romance Drama for Sarah and Others
As summer comes to a close with Labor Day weekend, the former Days of our Lives co-head writing duo of Paula Cwikly and Jeanne Marie Ford have given their annual fall season preview in episodes taped some 10-11 months ago.
As previously reported this past July, Ryan Quan returned to Days of our Lives and is now co-head writing the show with Ford, while Cwikly is now a consultant. The new co-head writing teams stories will not be seen till late spring/early summer 2027.
So for now, the stories pick up from where we left off with Cwikly and Ford promising via TV Insider, “Fall in Salem is full of twists and turns and secrets and surprises. Dots connect in unexpected ways as seemingly unrelated threads converge.”

CHECKMATE?
In one of the top mystery’s, Marlena is still having troubling memories and she will have another one on the Monday, September 7 episode. Meanwhile, her daughter Belle (Martha Madison) has gotten very close to Chad DiMera (Conner Floyd) and as pictured here, the two smooch while in Italy searching for answers to the chess set that Stefano DiMera gifted th the late John Black and Marlena (Deidre Hall) that has some significance.
The head scribes share, “The (chess board) mystery and its fallout are central to the fall stories. Chad and Belle follow the clues to a discovery that changes both of their families, and Salem, forever. Marlena worries that their investigation/the chess set may be a Pandora’s box that has been opened. And she is right…”
Newcomers are also the order of the day for Cwikly and Ford, this fall. We have already seen the debut as Brandon Butler as Mason Whitfield, and next week you can add as previously reported Sydney Malakeh on the Thursday September 1o episode as Sydney DiMera, followed by the the Monday, September 14 arrival of Franco LoPresti as Dante Vitali.

Paula and Jeanne Marie expressed on the incoming Dante, “The arrival of a stranger who will set the whole town on its ear. The character has several strong ties to the current canvas and impacts many storylines.” What will Dante be up to? We know Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney) had mentioned in 2025 she got engaged to the man, but that was off-screen.
LOVE THE ONE YOU’RE WITH OR THE ONE YOU WANT?
In the romance department, the triangle between Brady/Sarah/Xander heats up with a very conflicted Sarah (Linsey Godfrey). The head writers reveal, “When Sarah faces attacks personally and professionally, Xander (Paul Telfer) and Brady (Eric Martsolf) work together to help and protect her. Sarah’s new love for Brady is challenged by her lingering love for Xander. Xander risks everything for Sarah.”
In addition look for, “Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) and Philip (John-Paul Lavoiser) to draw closer as he tries to save the family company and home.”
Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) will also be returning at some point this fall and she won’t be alone. Who might she bring with her? And from the looks of the Peacock promo for next week’s DAYS, someone is wearing Stefano’s ring around their finger, but who … and how does it all tie in this fall?
So, what do you think about some of the highlights coming up this fall on Days of our Lives per the series head writers? Does anything float your boat or pique your interest? If so, what? Let us know via the comment section. But first, check out the action next week on DAYS in the promo entitled “Bag of Tricks” below.

Perhaps Sony has intentions to putting the soap on-line..
The networks are struggling trying to compete with the internet and Netflix, HuLu Plus, Amazon and the TV internet streaming devices, that people are using to watch most of their TV shows, now days..
There are the networks CBS and FOX who now are thinking of ”charging’ to watch their networks shows..
things are rapidly changing for media viewing..
Network TV is failing/can not compete. ..
This doesn’t apply to anyone that lives outside of the USA, as none of the above are able to be accessed outsiside of Nth America.
Get this show back on now Or I’ll chop of cancels
I can tell you why as an Australian with many friends who watch it. Channel 9 have dropped it to play sports over summer to the point we are once again about 2years behind. SO we have only recently aired and gotten rid of Carly Manning. Everyone I know said what they did to Bo & Hope (who had a HUGE following here) was disgusting and they stopped watching and never returned.
I’d still be watching if they genuinely made good on opportunities like Carly coming back to mess with Bo and Hope. I’m not shocked this show is missing the mark both with audiences in Australia and if we are honest in the US too. They are too fixated on old news couples. The show lacks punch and creativity. It all takes a backseat to baseless historically driven drivel.
Michael, unfortunately here for a soap to work it seems to have to named Home & Away. This seems to be the only soap Australians will watch. It also doesn’t help that we are back to being over a year behind due to ch9 yanking Days off the air everytime a sporting event occurs. Over summer Days is lucky to air once a week while the cricket is on.
Its already been said that one of the major networks is thinking of going to cable. So, this does not surprise me.
I think it’s mainly the storylines. I am from Australia and have watched Y&R and used to watch Days for years until the storylines went pearshaped with the possession of Marlena and all sorts of weird ones. Have to say that I still watch Y&R but stopped watching Days.
A show that has been on tv for 45 years must be popular. What a joke to can a show watched by so many viewers. Shame on channel 9.
I agree. Can’t believe they did that to us 🙁
I live a country area where we have very poor radio reception so have been watching days for 30 years and I like it, channel 9 what are you going to put on to replace it – not a thing so far!!!!!!!
VERY UNFAIR CHANNEL 9!!!!!!!!!
channel nine is useless watching DOOL is the only reason i bother turning the television on here during the day, hopefully another channel will pick up the soap, we love it in Australia, in the meantime i can now be freed from watching the endless commercials for funerals and life assurance that we are inflicted with on day time TV.
I also agree there will be no reason for me to ever switch onto channel 9 again ,I have watched days since day 1 and that is the ONLY day time tele i ever watch these days ,once again channel 9 has ignored the viewers and just dumped a show that is popular here
Write to Channel 9 Executive Channel 9 David Ginger and let him know of our displeasure about their programming decisions and the comments about Channel 9 being a blokey station is right, HOW MANY WOMEN ARE ON THEIR BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
The only other program I watch on channel 9 is the voice. good bye channel 9
Refuse to watch Nine anymore as I have been watching days for 45 years and loved the show. Stick the sports programs.. come on how much cricket can one person watch and it runs all day.. sorry nine but you have lost me.
Maybe this is where Brian Frons now works? lol
Lol
I have been following days of our lives on and off since I was in high school back in the 80’s. I am disappointed its being cancelled, there’s absolutely mouthing worth watching at that time slot. I was so disappointed when young and the restless was cancelled a couple of years back, now days of our lives. Channel 9 is making lots of silly decisions, what do we housewives watch while having lunch for that half hour or so until we pick up our kids from school
We have exactly the same issue in the UK, All the US soaps were treated like crap in England and then just cancelled with no consideration for the fans at all.
I understand that they want the timeslot, no doubt for age old repeats. Why not show it at another time, even if it was on at 2 in the morning. What is the problem, you have three stations to put it on. Very poor decision channel 9, not everyone has paid TV. Looks like less and less viewing of CHANNEL NINE. You should be ashamed…
Yer bloody idiots
Couldn’t agree more , wih all the new usless channels , they could put it on one of them and that way we wouldn’t have to miss it through the summer.
Just because the story has been a bit off lately doesn’t mean we stop watching, we all know it has to improve as the story changes from time to time.Disgusting decision.
Put it on another time, you have three stations to use. Very poor decision
Thanks to all you folks Down Under giving your opinion on the matter. You guys know the situation better than we do here. But networks there sound a lot like networks here. The suits don’t put on shows people want to watch, but try to get us to watch the shows they think we should want to watch. I guess they will all have to get new jobs when network television becomes extinct, which should be in the next ten years or less.
Australia gave us the beautiful “Prisoner: Cell Block H.”
We gave them the crappalicious “Days of Our Lives.”
Just doesn’t seem fair. The Aussies are better off without “Days.”
You speak for yourself ,we don’t all think like you .!1
It will probably come on another channel like Y&R did. Days is terrible anyways now.
Channel dumped Y&R a few years ago & Foxtel picked it up, so maybe Foxtel will pick up DOOL too?
Unfortunately in Australia episodes of Y&R are about 9 months behind & I think that DOOL are about 6 months behind, so what happens here is that we have to scour the Internet to try to source up to date episodes that are posted by wonderful people who are dedicated to bring fans who live outside of Nth America episodes of our favourite shows.
My “DAYS” soapbox is drained….
sapped of all energy… to champion much more…..
near bereft – idleless –
then Rafe came to mind….
The cricket certainly robs time for DOOL. But with digital TV each channel has more than one to transmit on. So why can’t the show be on one while cricket is on the other? It doesn’t make sense to have excess transmisssion ability but not use it wisely.
I just hope foxtel picks it up it,s been good lately shame on channel 9:-(
I am really pissed off with channel 9.i have been watching dool for 26 years.how am I going to watch it now.what show are they going to replace it with? I hope channel 9 loses more money.please channel 7 or 10 take on dool.
Channel Nine failed Days of our Lives fans year after year by preempting it to telecast cricket. Days of our Lives became ridiculously outdated at one point being over 4 years behind US episodes.
They did a catch-up where a summary of the those 4 years was telecast and episodes fast forwarded so that we were only 3 -6 months behind US episodes. Then despite having access to multiple channels to broadcast on, Channel 9 continued on the same path. Each summer we fell another 3 months behind. I believe we are currently 15 months behind US episodes.
During this same time period, technology has offered television viewers other alternatives. If our television broadcasters couldn’t provide up to date content then tech savvy consumers would find it elsewhere.
Meet YouTube, TV.com, Hulu , iTunes and the US network sites. My computer or iPad and smartphone have access to better content than the TV that sits in my Australian living room.
Sad. Very sad.
I have been a Days watcher for over 20 years (now aged 45), and am a third generation fan in my family. Channel nine has always shown disrespect to the DOOL watchers every cricket season. It always seemed lame to me to replace DOOL with cricket in what is obviously a traditionally female viewing timeslot …and now they decide to take it off air permanently, without consulting their viewers.
(Interestingly they have replaced it with House Husbands, which is in my opinion a male oriented soap too.) They could just have easily shifted it to another time or better yet channel so that cricket didn’t interfere with it again. Needless to say that I only watch channel nine for The Voice and Big Bang Theory now (so once this season of The Voice is over one show one slot per week). Hardly worth it as I have Big Bang on DVD now.
#1. I HOPE Australia – finds another home. Days of our lives…. i’ve lived with for so long… I can’t give up.
2nd…. HOT PIC… of John & Marlena…. above.
cute! Handsome! Classic…. she reels chic and kept up! Drake…. What a Handsome Man! kinda reminds me of Michael Mulhaney…. ie: Adam, Y&R.
Blame the Channel 9 programming director. Michael Healy. He’s an idiot, and hopefully
jobless shortly.
Now if they would drop it on US that would be great tired of people trying to cram things at me as if all people want to see guys kissing. And people who have treated a person horribly gets that person to fall in love with them…get real. And please do have Jennifer trot off to London. That character is a bore…and Daniel and she have no chemistry.
If you hate it so much…. Why are you watching it? Hypocrite!
I think all the characters had their own part,and all did well,bring it backChannel 9 you have made the biggest mistake ever.!!
How about thinking of all the oldies who live their lives through these characters. I suppose it will be replaced by some short lived reality rubbish. If people have watched a show for 45 years wether it’s behind 18 months or not they want to watch it. Come on 9 keep it!!!!!!!!!
Most oldies & those on pensions can’t afford Foxtel!!
I am a pensioner Coral, and I also have Foxtel, but I cannot afford to pay the extra it will take to watch DOOL if Foxtel picks it up….
I have been watching it for 44 years. I hope it gets picked up soon so we don’t have to miss any more when it finishes on Friday 26th.
Although I am not a constant viewer of DAYS I do know a lot of people who are, because they spend most of thier days at home. As has been stated online DAYS have been part of many people’s lives for years and years. To callously just stop showing the program with out a thought for the thousands of viewers who have watched DAYS for so many years shows quite clearly why your ratings are not up where they used to be and I have absolutely no doubt that channel nines ratings are about to go down quite considerably. The fact that the show is still being shown, and is continuing to be made after all these years makes your decision to drop DAYS totally ridiculous ..
Hear hear!!! Especially when the Australian dollar is doing so well…it is cheaper to buy the show now than it has ever been, so no excuses on the ‘financial decision’ front.
Nine is a disgrace.I wonder what the Ghost of Kerry Packer would have to say about this decision.
Well that’s it..The only show I watch during the day and have done since the onset…How could channel 9 stop this show and again in the middle of a storyline..Grrrr….I only hope someone picks it up as there are thousands of viewers feeling the same as me…No wonder Channel nine goes down in ratings.,..I missed out on Young and the Restless by this happening and at the time could not afford to pay extra on Foxtel to watch it..CHANNEL 9, WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES….WHY CAN’T GEM OR GO HAVE IT ON THEIR CHANNEL INSTEAD OF THOSE OLD CRAP SHOWS DURING THE DAY…
Channel 9 takes off DOOL that we all love to watch and they keep Sam Newman….Get your priorities right for once…We all want to keep watching DOOL and I know of many people all over Australia including me who will not watch the Footy Show because of Sam Newman…
I’m disgusted with channel 9, my mum has been watching this show since it started on Aussie tv. We know dozens of devoted fans even though the storylines can be a bit ridiculous at times, it is still an escape for a lot of people and with the good ratings that it still gets, I can’t understand this decision. Haven’t channel 9 learnt anything from the outrage they caused when they cancelled Y&R? We have been watching channel 7 more and more and we will definitely be giving channel 9 and whatever show they replace DOOL with, the big flick. Whoever made this decision should be sacked just like they got rid of Eddie McGuire when he got rid of Y&R!
So WIN tv (our equivalent of Nine) are putting on the first series of House Husbands in DOOL’s spot – ridiculous, I thought they were going for a new lineup – must be a new line up of RERUNS!
I hope Foxtel pick it up too, run some marathons, and we’ll soon catch up to the US.
I would be tempted to get foxtel if they pick up days
I am disgusted with Channel 9 – I have been watching the show since 1987 – and my mum longer than me. Channel 9 didn’t do the show any justice as it always ran the cricket instead (in the cricket season) – but to axe it completely ! – They should be ashamed of themselves. If goes to Foxtel will have to go to the expense of connecting it.
As an ardent viewer of days of our lives since 1968,I want to know why it cant be shown (same time if possible) on gem or go….why cancel !!!! theres a lot of unhappy people out there…..
Discusting channel 9… Alot of people do watch the show. You will lose more ratings now.
Every one will be watching Dr Oz on channel 7 now.
Viewer for over 28 years why take days of air thats a fact!!! we should all write to channel nine cmon guys and gals!!
And you do have to write (snail mail)…so antiquated…probably because they know they would be absolutely inundated by emails of complaint about this decision. To me this smacks of disrespect to the viewers, both from the decision to take a show off air without adequate reason and when it was still rating well and then to make it so difficult to voice a complaint. Clearly they do not want feedback. But clearly they need it!
could it also be a publicity mmmm
I left a message on Channel 9’s Facebook page, telling them if they didn’t move DOOL to GEM, I would boycott 9 and suggest to every DOOL fan I can find, to do the same. We can’t all afford pay tv. What about the old folk who’ve watched it for 45 years. They LIVE for it! Maybe some will die without it!
I know people who have watch days from the very first episode = how can channel 9 do this to their valued viewers?
days of our lives is the best show and it better come on again or I’m calling the stupid channel of the TV!!
I agree with you Nelson!!
I agree with all other fan comments. This was the only show on 9 that I watched. We can only watch a repeat so many times and that is what 9 is now, on all their channels. REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT! Why just cancel it??? At least if they’d moved to another nine channel it wouldn’t have been interupted by sport or whatever else!!
It’s no wonder ch. 7 is on top, they’re the only one with lots of different shows & nine is losing patrons. WAKE UP!!!! & give us back DOOL
so where can we watch it now all streaming videos are broadcast only in America its hardly fair. it was the highlight of my day to watch that, you could escape into another world for an hour before the kids came home from school.
Congratultions to channel nine, you get people hooked on programmes and then to cancel them after so many years. Being a pensioner I can not afford Foxtel.
I have watched Days of Our lives from the start, before I was married and all those years, since. It was always the bright spot to look forward to in my day. I knew the characters in the ‘spring’ of my life to the ‘winter’ of my life. They are all like family to me. Now, out of the blue; no more.
After 45 years, they are gone- just like that! No apologies. No closure. To-day I am bereft, lost without them, and knowing what will become of them all. I miss them so, on this first day without them.
To-day is bleak . I am devastated! Please HELP!
Please tell me how I can view where we were up to, in Australia, in Days of Our Lives. This goes for my sister in law and so many other loyal Australian fans who are still “in shock” !

Diana, like you I was devastated after45 years of watching to find it gone! I’ve had enough of Channel 9 and of free to air tv all round. You’ll be happy to know you can watch DOOL on you tube!!!!
I have been watching this show since I was in high school in the 70’s and have recorded it when at work to watch later. My kids have grown up with it on as a daily show and now we have the timeslot filled with re-runs of evening shows that we have already watched the week before. What the!!!! I’m fed up with not being able to watch my fav shows as they get axed and there is no respect shown to viewers by 9 as there wasn’t even any announcement or warning! SHAME
I agree with you Phoebe, shame on Channel nine. Days of our lives is popular with the young and old. I refuse to watch Channel nine between 12 and 2pm and especially House Husbands, no thanks!!!
me too!!!!
Shame on you Channel Nine, it’s a popular show with the young and old. I don’t watch Channel Nine between 12 and 2pm anymore. I will not be duped in to watching House Husbands, with all their old weathered faces yuk. Honestly your’re stupid
Let common sense prevail. We deserve better. Put DOOL on GEM. what have you got to lose …only more viewers if you don’t reschedule this on digital!
what a joke with all these new channel on free to air ,why can’t days of our lives go on one of those it disgusting i have been watching this show for ages since i was a kid . put days back on tv win
I have followed Days since 1986 was my favourite soap nine have no respect for fans we always miss out on seeing it in summer because of sports they cut 4 years of episodes in 2004 and right in middle of storyline the writing was on wall when they axed Young and Restless they could put in on Gem or Go what do they replace it with old episodes of House Husbands sad Bo and Hope fan shame on you nine i hope your ratings go down now
Absolutely disgusted, Iove my Dool fix & tape it every day. Have been watching it for close to 40 yrs. Love all the characters & especially loved watching Alison Sweeney grow up on the show. Like prior comments, don’t know why you can’t show it on Gem or Go. I unlike many other people, don’t have pay tv & was just as infuriated when YTR was axed. Hope you will LISTEN TO THE FANS channel 9 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shame on NINE-
they’re dumping iDOOL because of the gay characters no doubt-
SHAME!
Cannot believe win television has dumped Days….not be watching the crap that is on there now instead, very dissappointed I have been a fan for over 30 years.
