YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! So excited for DAYS!!!

I bet Corday thinks this gives him an excuse to rest of his laurels. The show is a disaster. It’s so incredibly mediocre and lacking in bite, allure or imagination.

YEAH!!! Happy for the cast, happy for daytime TV, happy for the fans. Now, let’s move some story along …..

Corday/Meng and co. need to shut down production for a month or two and revamp lighting, sets, wardrobe and storyline. They should watch GH to learn how to revitalize a show. Filming three months ahead and writing farther ahead is killing the show. It’s dreary, slow and dated. There’s no reason that a show produced in Hollywood should look so awful. They need to recast Abby, bring Bo back and reestablish his children on the show. Get rid of Kate/Lucas. Recast Sonny with the guy who played Trey on GH. They need to sign T to a contract and make him a closet homosexual. Time to retire Daniel Jonas character to an STD clinic and hire Mark Hapka and put in on (half naked) five days a week.

Congratulations DOOL! And thank you to NBC and Sony for their wisdom in knowing what daytime viewers want on their screens. Reality TV is dead! Long Live Soaps!

It seems the soap gods and godesses are listening to our prayers. Keep the good news coming, Michael.

Glad for DOOL to get more time to try to right the ship. But the show needs to get its act together already and has to start listening to viewer feedback more or the ratings will keep going down. Is Ms. Salke actually watching the same show that we’re watching? That’s impossible, because hardly any of DOOL’s stories and characters are “fresh, exciting, and relevant year after year” these days. LOL

Do Ms. Salke, Ken Corday, and his staff really believe that DOOL is near the top of its creative game right now? If they do, then this show and the daytime soap genre is in deep trouble. It moves so slowly and is so boring right now that I and several people I know have literally fallen asleep watching it.

No one cares about Daniel and Jennifer, so please stop shoving them down our throats all the time. And it would definitely help if they did not shoot 3-4 months ahead of airing. That’s unacceptable and way too much time for a soap to get accurate feedback on what’s working and what’s not. 4-6 weeks at most, please. Get a clue with that already.

Great news!!

I watched DOOL many years ago before it forayed into the supernatural. I do not watch it currently and do not have plans to watch in the future as I am watching the other three soaps. That being said, I am THRILLED for the genre that NBC is keeping it and that Sony is dedicated to continuing with it.

It should be interesting at the end of this year or beginning of next as to what Sony and CBS’ plans for Y&R are since it was renewed through 2014.

I’m proud that this show was renewed! The lone soap on NBC continues to live on even as most of the attention around soaps has been about its failures and dissolution. While I wish it would have been a 2 year pick up like last time, I’ll certainly take another year!

Thank you NBC, Sony and Comcast! Such great news happening in the soap world these days, and if something were to have happened to DAYS right now, all the other news would have meant nothing to me.

Whatever – stopped watching the show after they fired Matt Ashford for the umpteenth time.

I LUV Days!

In this day and age very few shows if any get any long term commitments anymore from networks, so getting another year is great- I agree shooting so far in advance is hurting the show. They can’t do anything timely because they can’t make quick adjustments to change course if need be. But my biggest burning question at the moment is– if Parker is Daniel’s and Chloe’s child- then why on earth did the casting people over there cast a blond hair, fair skin child that looks more like Phillip than anyone else? Really it makes no sense to me-

DAYS is slow, bland and flat out boring! They film too far ahead to make any changes so people lose interest and stop bothering to watch. The ratings prove this. They pretty much need to fix everything. Even their highly touted Will and Sonny storyline is boring. They won’t make it past 2014 if they don’t fix this mess.

If Days’ ratings don’t pick up soon, I wouldn’t be surprised if some NBC stations decide to move it to 2 am. Given the show’s quality recently, it would be a great cure for insomnia.

Still going out strong? Days has been last in the ratings for the last 4 months? So i think Ken Corday thinks this is a greenlight for them to write crap stories until next year

Congrats Days team! Now, write some interesting story lines. So many possibilities. You have some good characters and actors, but you have to put them in some intriquing story lines that will make us keep tuning in! This is your opportunity to shine! You can do it! Let’s make it to the 50th anniversary!

I so glad that show got a renewnal.

Hello Michael Fairman –

HELP! Can you puhlease do an article on what the ratings are with DAYS AND GH going HEAD TO HEAD in most all the markets and time zones?

I understand that DAYS is last and, of the 4… may not be all that….

die hard DrOOL FANS need to know it’s not doing and/or performing that badly.

and, how about… (IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY-BUDGET?) that DAYS films 3-4 months in advance and thus, the other 3 are 6 weeks.

DAYS – SONY – Comcast – PLEASE, UNDERSTAND AND LISTEN TO THE FANS…
FILM IN THE SAME TIME-FRAME AS THE OTHER SOAPS.

Congrats to DAYS getting it’s much needed renewal. It’s been an A quality show since its relaunch in September 2011! I hope everyone who bashes this series can finally shut up and move along. DAYS is not going anywhere. It’s here to stay and Sony/NBC/Corday is going to make sure that happens!

I definitely agree that its time to can the Daniel Jonas character and while you’re at it, take Cameron with him!!!!! I’d rather see them write for Billie Reed!!! She was SO wasted this last go round!!! They shouldve brought back Chelsea if they weren’t gonna reuinte her with Bo. And what the hell are they thinking making Parker Daniel’s son??? The Kiriakis are a major family on DAYS and this will make the 2nd time Philip has lost a child bc of a paternity screwup!!! He previously lost Claire to Shawn Brady……so sad…….Daniel and Jennifer Are NOT working……pair her with Rafe and finally put Sami with EJ!!! Kristen’s return however, is the best thing going right now!!!! And heat up Eric’s story!!!!!!!!!

Yay Days!:) I’ve been enjoying the return of Kristen DeMira and the scenes w/Marlena and John, the writing,dialogue and acting w/them the other day was awesome. I like they didn’t make Kristen the direct 3rd party (triangle),but it was John and Marlena putting their cards on the table about believing each other, trust, (Marlena saying I tried to tell u, but u wouldn’t believe me), etc…Which I think alot of couples can relate to. I know I did. They all look like they’re having fun w/that s/l, grateful for Days and giving it their all. I like Chloe coming back too. Here’s to more Days:)

Congrats Days! It is my favorite show! However, it needs MUCH improvement! Stop filming so far ahead- take a break and film just three weeks ahead, like the other soaps. It will allow for more fan approval in the future. Put Sami with Lucas and leave them alone! Rafe should be with Nicole and EJ should be alone! Give Chloe an interesting storyline and bring her back full-term! Backburn Daniel and Jennifer! You can leave them together as long as we do not have to see them 24/7. Marlena and John need to reunite and have a new storyline. The Kristen thing is overdone. Put Brady back with Chloe-his storyline with Kristen is boring. Bring back Stefano and have him and Kate get married again. Have Gabi miscarry, let her and Nick become better people, get married and have a family of their own. Abigail should be with Chad, as her Cameron relationship was not interesting in the least. Bring back Melanie and Nathan, and have them get married and be doctors sort of like the new Tom and Alice Horton of the show, but much younger. Have Kristen leave Salem. We do not need more conniving on the show by her, since her schemes are nothing new and inreresting. Let her truly change, or have her go. Leave Eric as a priest, he is boring with Nicole. Let’s see Rafe and Nicole have a baby of their own, and see EJ truly change and try to get her back. Have Carrie lose her child and divorce Austin. She can come back, and Rafe and her can be together, as can Nicole and EJ.
