Well I do appreciate they improved the look of the show– the lighting has been a thing of beauty to behold the way they light various scenes. I like the use of different camera angles and adding some variety to their sets and bringing back extras to populate the town at bit more.

But I still find the storytelling a bit uneven– some episodes are jammed packed with content, almost too much to take in, then we have episodes that are long and drawn out fillers.

I still think it was a mistake to kill Will. The character was popular even if the actor playing him was not suited for the role, killing character was unnecessary.

Finally although the show has improved it has no way lived up to the hype about what was coming six months back, so I am oddly disappointed and pleased at the same time.

And what a great job they have done with this show. It was really getting boring and drawn out but now it is so exciting. in fact, today, 11-6, is about the most thrilling episode I have seen and I started watching in 1966. Please, please, please, keep up the great stories!

Days is good so far…lets see if it can stay that way…i remember the changes back in 1980 when many fans like me stopped watching because it was a daysaster..i came back but my late aunt never did…i know some said with the present day changes they will stop watching because of Will being killed off which i have mixed feelings but thats the fault of many viewers who disliked GW in the role…yep, they couldve recast or simply have him leave with Sonny or say he is alive but in a coma …the difference now compared with 1980 is that in 1980 the changes were for the worse…the stories and newbies with very little ties to Salem werent good except for Gloria Loring as Liz…eventually the show improved…this time around the writing is good and returning vets and newbies are tied to the shows core families…one complaint: Patch hasnt changed his clothes since the 1980s…lol

I would like to know why they decided to kill the legacy character of Will Horton? He was a Horton and a Brady. He was connected to many families in Salem. He had a husband and was raising a young child. They had him murdered for what purpose? It was a senseless killing and so random. All because Ben Weston was obsessed with Abigail and her friendship with Chad DiMera. So Ben murdered Will and two women to set up Chad so he would no longer be a “problem” for Ben and his obsessive behavior. I would rather have Ben die and have Will Horton (& Guy Wilson) back than some of these characters who will only be back for a short time.

I actually tuned in today for the first time in a good 20 years or so and loved seeing Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso.

I watched the show from around 1975 to 1992 (when it was ridiculously good) but stopped watching when it became trashy.

Would be nice if it would stay the way it is but am sure it’s just a temporary situation.

I hated the way Will Horton was killed. I loved the character, but the writing was very poor for him. They had the character turn into Sami, cheating, Plotting, secrets ect…….. Ending the gay story line like this was horrible. I have no idea who Patch, Bo or Andrea are and I don’t like them. I loved the Wilson story line and want it back. Bring Back Will Horton As a recast. Bring back Sonny. Days looks Homophobic, like Killing off Will was a signal to old fans that the gay story line was over for good.

ok-
Days, made changes with writers and producers..
I wonder;
IF DOOL had brought in Jean Passanante and Shelly Altman as its’ head writers
if Day’s would be doing as well as it has been under the new team of Josh Griffith Dena Higley?

I think Days made a huge mistake in refocusing on older characters at the expense of some newer fantastic stories. No matter how much you try, you can’t bring back the 80’s. That was a very different time. You have neglected the current Days fans and catered to a former audience who can’t sustain the show. Hope is an example of an 80s character wglho has evolved beautufully. What Ken has done to Haiden is disturbing and shows that he is not in tune with the current audience. Trying to bring in a teen audience is ludicrous. Teens barely watch real TV and certainly won’t watch Days. He should have moved forward with popular couples like Haiden and Wilson and reintegrated 80s characters like Kayla in a more balanced. It didn’t need to be all Or nothing. Ken has really missed the boat. I won’t be watching a show that is living in the past and treats its fans so despicably. Ken should look at the number of followers of his supposed gold mine actors because the numbers just aren’t there to sustain the show. RIP Days.

I’ve watched DOOL for 30 years. I’m shocked that so many people are complimenting it. It is the absolute worse that it has ever been. Even the characters that were brought back (Steve, Bo, Shaun Douglas) are all acting so weird…plus they won’t stay. So we’re getting rid of the best characters right now…Eve and Will to make room for temporary characters. It’s just sad how low the show has gone. Get rid of the boring instead of giving them more screen time (Jennifer)!

I thought I’d never watch Days again, and I certainly never thought I’d look forward to it every day like I used to. Not only do I love the characters that I grew up with being together again and feeling like family, but the newly Sorased teens look promising. And I’m on Team Chabby. 🙂 Keep going writers!

To Ken corday shame on you for killing off bo after all he went through to get back to hope. Bad call on your part

I don’t know where to start. I started watching dool when I was 10yrs. old, I’m now 55! The last several years I haven’t been that into the show since all the new characters and story line. I could remember back in the day when I couldn’t miss an episode so I recorded it on VHS. I was addicted! For many years I had lost interest. Since the 50th anniversary started and little by little old characters were coming back I found myself so engrossed once again. Then Bo returned! OMG. I have looked so forward to seeing the next episode that I started looking at the spoilers. The day I read about Friday, November 20ths episode really upset me. I knew what was going to happen and couldn’t bring myself to watch it. Finally, I watched it and of course I cried, remembering watching those exact episodes in my childhood. Please don’t kill off Bo and Hope! Have them grow old together on the show like Tom and Alice Horton. I have have truely considered not watching the show if you really kill of Bo! Heck I’m taking the time to write, that’s how upset I am. Great writing, you got an old dool fan back, maybe lol.
