Given Comcast’s budget cutting ways across NBC, I really lost all hope — especially since we have had to wait until now for any sign. Instead, I put all of my hope into Prospect Park saving “Days.” So now, I can thank NBC and Comcast, and hope that by the time NBC ever decides to cancel the only show I watch, Prospect Park will be a well-established company to keep us “Days” fans going!

Thank goodness!!! Great news!!! Thank you NBC and Comcast! It remains my favourite soap since ATWT was cancelled, and I try and champion it any time I can. I always try and look at the positives going on, even when some of the stuff on and off screen aren’t so positive.

As far as the “ratings” go, I think it’s counterproductive, and sort of useless, to say DAYS is in last place. With only 4 soaps left, is it really still a race? And when we’re all trying to be supportive and upbeat about the situation, isn’t it wrong of us, the fans, to say who the least watched show is?

I’m glad to .hear that Days won’t be cancelled . I really like that show .

knowing that DAYS has always been near the bottom or bottomed out… LOL… is a moot point…. NBC and/or comcast would be remiss… stupid, to let their one soap go… take heed and/or notice….. ABC fans retaliated…. Serials do have an audience… and IF WELL DONE… put some money, loosen the purse strings… LET THE ONE SOAP… DOOL be a shining example of how good it was, is, and will continue to be.

A Major Network without a Soap….. NEVER SHOULD HAPPEN!

My one wish…. BRING BACK CHRISTIE CLARK! for Rafe, Marlena, and Sammi.

It seems that NBC learned from ABC/D’s debacle!

Better writers … make Ejami Days super couple ..there lacking in that department . When Ejami on ratings are through the roof …..why dont they get the message already …

They are, however, changing the name to Days of Daniel Jonas’ Life next September during their annual “reboot”. SIGH!

I am happy about that as long as: 1) James Scott stays on the show-when he goes, I go. 2) Sami stays away from EJ. I think it would be great if Ari Zucker was allowed to show her funny side.

Days has huge viewership on NBC’s website. I agree that the show needs better writers. And it sucks that any changes you have to wait 3 months before you see them since they film that far ahead.

Eileen Davidson as Kristen is really the only interesting thing going on Days. She has really brought it again and gives John, Marlena, and Brady interesting story!

Will’s story was the interesting and best story until he got mixed in with Gabi and now it sucks! Any story having Gabi in it is going to really suck.

And why is Eric a priest? You know it’s not going to last long, especially when the actor is hot as hell. He will not be a priest come summer time when it’s time to be shirtless that’s for sure! And that I am thankful for! lol

Don’t count on the word of ANY sleazy network executive.ABC moved All My Children to California with
similar assurances.

I would think they would at least let Days make it to its 50th anniversary. Their numbers may not be huge, but Days still has a following of many loyal fans. If they keep the budget, so they can make a profit, and have some decent storylines and characters with romance and intrique, they could keep their fan base coming back for more, and keep the show going for awhile. To cancel Days and put on another talk show, they would lose having a loyal group who watches regularly.

VERY good news! Go soaps!

Thank God!… or NBC!

Kind of surprised.

Given that NBC has a lot of problem areas in primetime (especially starting now from January to August when “Sunday Night Football” is out of season) that need fixing more urgently, as well as a myriad of issues with the “Today” show, those are probably among the few factors keeping “Days” afloat for now. Because let’s be honest- “Days” is beyond boring, the writing quality has gone sharply downhill since just after the Olympics break, and the ratings clearly reflect that- they’re awful.

IMO, it’s a major problem that the show films so far ahead (reportedly about 4 months). If/when storylines clearly aren’t working and even if changes are actually made in the writing stages, it will take at least as long as that for the changes to show up on camera. That’s much too long, causing tons of viewers to flee. The other remaining soaps (even the recently cancelled ones) only taped 5-6 weeks ahead. (“Days” filmed its 12,000th episode, airing this Friday 1/11, in late September!!)

From the outside, it seems hard to believe that NBC is actually making $$$ or at least breaking even on an show where the production values seem to be quite low. If the ratings drop any further (esp among 18-49 females), the budget will surely have to be cut even more. Do they really want to get to a point where “Days” needs to use even more newbies and switch to cheap, outdoor shooting a la “Guiding Light” toward the end (2008-09)? That would be an embarrassment and it’s certainly where it could be headed if things don’t pick up. Didn’t NBC/Comcast recently reportedly fire/lay off a bunch of crew members in LA, many of whom worked behind the scenes at “Days”? I wonder what kind of effect that will have, if any.

I’d like to believe Mr. Greenblatt, but I learned quite a while ago not to trust network executives when speaking out about a soap’s fate. They won’t state point blank that a show will be cancelled until they actually do it. (Remember ABC/Brian Frons stating two years ago that “AMC” and “OLTL” were both safe? I rest my case.) For “Days” fans, hopefully the show can get more time to pull out of this slump and pick up some steam, which it needs in the worst way.

I’m happy Days is sticking around BUT they really, really, really need to move these stories along faster!!! Nothing is happening day to day. We get a little breakthrough here & there (John finding Kristen with Brady was good) but they are so few & far between that it’s a struggle to stay awake watching this. Where is our leading lady Hope? Peter Reckell not being on the show is a huge loss. The whole world revolving around Sami is boring; bring back Christie Clark. Jen & Daniel are worse than watching paint dry! She’s become so drab and he’s just damn dull.
So, if Days is to stick around, they need to do inject some fire into this show like GH which rocks at all cylinders!!

THIS IS FANTASTIC NEWS!!!!!!!!

I know NBC is invested in keeping Days of our Lives on television. I don’t want it to be cancelled anytime soon. It’s easily the best soap on air, with Y&R slowly creeping back to that spot for me. The stories are just too good right now on the over-all, and the return of classic characters is amazing. Now they need to bring a couple of other characters back and give me more #WilSon scenes.

This is wonderful news! I’m enjoying Days very much. I think (omo) all the networks got a big wake up call with ABC’s soap killing fiasco. Soap viewers are very loyal and will not automatically tune into worthless, useless, and stupid talk shows.

Unless some serious changes are made to revamp and add life to this show in the near future, I see only a small percentage of current viewers, especially younger ones, “sticking around” to watch this daily snoozefest. Days is as exciting as watching recycled paint dry and I literally fall asleep watching. It just moves way too slowly and they have to start filming closer to the air dates. No surprise it’s dead last in women 18-49s.

Note to Ken Corday and his staff: Wake up and get with the times!

Good news for DAYS and the soap genre. It looks were going to have 6 soaps on the air by this time next year. Before 2012 it looked like Y&R and B&B would be the only two left.

Unlike in the Zucker era it seems like NBC is very committed to the show these days. The show does need a few changes I think in order to draw some new or returning viewers in but they’ve been real consistent ratings wise.

NBC should definitely look into giving DAYS some help and rexpand daytime by adding at least another soap next to DAYS maybe reviving Guiding Light or As the World Turns if P&G lets them.

I am happy it is staying on air, but I think new storylines are needed. The show sucks now. The Sami love triangle is old news, and many people are tired of EJami. Lucas needs a storyline, make a triangle between him, Rafe and Sami. Bring Carrie back on to create angst for Sami and Rafe. The older characters should be shown more. More Hope, for sure, and bring back Bo! Daniel and Jennifer are OK, but they need a better storyline ! Chloe should be on for longer, but put her with Brady instead of using her as Dannifer angst. Have Melanie come back with Nathan as her husband, and they can work at the hospital. Let Kristen leave, her storyline is old and boring. Her and Brady are awful together! John and Marlena need more airtime, but a new story, we already saw them deal with Kritter.

Also, bring on more WilSon! Let them have their own story, instead of involving them with boring Gabi and homophobe Nick. I would also like if the writers made Nabi more interesting, and changed them into likeable characters.

DAYS/SONY/COMCAST….. if YOU READ this:

PLEASE….align your product…. with the other Serials…. Film/Produce within 6 weeks… to keep all the fires in-sync and burning…. fixing storylines 3-4 months later… doesn’t work.

DOOL if you are going to stick around could you please introduce some characters that represent America’s melting pot. Spice it up a little. There are plenty of interracial families out there who would just love to see themselves portrayed as positive role models. Forget all the hateful and replusive mail that you recieve because those losers don’t really matter and don’t deserve the pleasure of watching TV period.

** I am re pasting this from bottom to make shure you read this idea!!!!! ************************************************************** kristen could be invovle in an accident and caused by JOHN and the fall caused her to lose her memories the last memories could be before her and john were ever togather and she become good again and thats when john could want her back and fight with brady by then him and marlena be over. And she could actually marry Jon this time, even try new technology to hve a child together and do, but somehow she gets into a 2nd accident later on the triggers her to remeber. That can be a hot story line Kristen could so play if off so well. While this is going on sami could be possessed with a demon and causing drama to salem. : ) hawt hawt storylines!!!!! Please write me back if anything! ********************************************************************** OK, Listen !!! I’m 26 years old been watching since a child my parents always watched general hospital but me and my bro watched days because my aunt and grandma got us hooked since Marlena’s possession story. I must of been 9 yrs old then and love it ! So, what I’m saying considering I was in a time of my life where I was unhealthy myself I kinda can put a grasp on dramatic situations to make a story kick! I actually was in a rehabilation center my issues were problematic relationships.So, even when i was there and now recently release EXCITED 2 see Kristen Dimera back!!!! : ) So what I am saying she has that TRUE villian mind frame to bring drama to the show. So did Sami but Sami’s character changed. Alison Sweeny needs a new story line all together. I was away for 2years and shes in the same boat can’t choose as a young women watching the same shyt all the time is tiring. real life drama situations move quickly on impluse. Kind of like Kristins character!!! Sami is the total opposite now your ratings can go up if you change samathas character back! maybe Sami can get possessed like Marelena did!! But this time by Satan himself! Makes sense since Eric is a priest now. And I honestly LOVED Samantha with RAFE they were beautiful together the best relationship other then Brandon walker Ive seen her happy with. Either you put Sami with Rafe if not then with Brandon. The show needs Sami with someone Sexy, hot someone to bring romance and chemistry Brandon Matt Cendo the guy who played him was sexy as hell and thats what daytime needs young viewers like sexy guys with chemistry. Honestly lucus is not sexy sorry him and sami have no chemistry and there boring they do well as best friends. Sami was my fav. now isnt my 2nd her story line is sooo boring, please stop its annoying with the back and forth men. I would love to see her in a real relationship. O… Read more »

DOOLs’ NEW YEARS EPISODE WAS JAM PACKED!

Rafe/Sammi/EJ – Nicole

IMO… Sammi looks more in LOVE w/RAFE. That New Years Eve Kiss was ooh la la… and like they were meant to be together… Sammi seems more assured and like a Woman w/Rafe.

That Kiss that Nicole “stole” with EJ… was SEX… A man w/Power like EJ… was smoking…

—————————–

Sonny and Will…. was so Touching. When Sonny shared with Will.. last years wish list that Will falls in love with him…. WAS ROMANCE.

—————————–

Kristen/Marlena/John/Brady

That fight between father/son, over Kristen, with Marlena rushing at the two of them, really threw me… I did not expect that… the ramifications and story fallout is GOOD…. I did laugh out loud when Kristen happened upon the scene in salem square and she wet herself…

with good writing… this 4-some could be quite good…. they need to show John, manning up every now and then… and not be so stuffy… Marlena’s ball and chain… curbing his libido… C’mon John.
———————————

Nick/Gabbi/Will

Will telling Nick – I won’t let my child be raised by a bigot…. and telling Nick “i’m not your gay boy”….

Nick telling Will – you gave Gabi and I this baby… etc….

Nick Fallons’ acting is on par believeable (surprising me)… even i don’t know what to expect… ie: his job interview with Kate was power play toying…

Homophobia is wrong on so many levels… but it happens… and it’s a storyline that needs be brought to light….

—————————-

Kristen and Marlenas bantering…. Kristen telling Marlena she wants and or wishes her dead…. within or by the end of the year… and that she may be her Mother in law….? LOL.

—————————-

Cheers! NBC/Sony/Comcast.

You knows what ironic we complain about these soaps and refuse to watch them because some of stories are not of our liken, but we get pissed when hear our soap opera is gonna be cancel and give the networks grief. We stop watching the show and we still get mad. We just as fickle as people on the shows we watch.
