GH doesn’t have a yearly renewal date, seems they just it roll until they don’t ..
CONGRATS, DAYS!!
Gh doesnt have a renewal date becasue the network owns the show. Since Sony runs Days, they have to reach an agreement with NBC when the contract is up.
I couldn’t more happier! I watched DAYS since I was a kid . It’s probably my favorite TV show ever!
I thought that the last few renewals have been for 2 yrs at a time. Is this renewal just for one year?
Yes and if the ratings drop nbc will dump the show so let’s hope people continue tuning in
Yeah, I don’t particularly care for; “option for additional year”
NBC clearly states… “how magnanimous it is to celebrate a show… for 51 years.. and in the same breath… (which is true ) how a prime time show may last… if at all… 1 to 2 seasons
so… buck up … and coulda woulda shoulda given us 2 years
on top of that… LATEST SOD issue : Kassie DePaiva… “missed Opportunities”
NBC / Sony / DOOL… and probably more specific… KEN CORDAY production
RE HIRE : this gem… gold mine… class act… energetic… bubbling personality
who enlivens any show… she’s respected… and lauded
she shares with the fans… missed opportunity
how much she would have loved to screen ; to REEL
with, Billy Flynn and Judi Evans, plus
can you imagine… what a dream ; let down
forever wonder… what could have been
i’ll let up ; after the 2016 emmy
I am happy about the renewal, but I also know DAYS should continue improving it’s numbers or September 2017 will be the end of DAYS. Watch every episode within one day of airing and don’t give up!
Not a viewer of Days but glad for its fans.
Glad the show is continuing, BUT are they going to shorten their shooting schedule for 5-6 months ahead to a more normal 4-6 weeks?
THAT is what’s wrong with this show. By the time they realize a storyline/character is NOT working, they have months worth of shows already shot, that we have to suffer through, before the story can be dropped!
The best thing they could do for the show…and it’s viewers…is get on a shorter shooting schedule!
I think elsewhere on this page that is mentioned – the fact that one of the stipulations of the contract is a shorter shooting schedule – and, I agree with you that they need to do that to see what is working, what isn’t. Right now, at least to my viewing eyes, NOT MUCH is working. The teens are not believable, Andre’s villainous hammy acting is for the birds, and Victor’s long lost brother is a tad over the top. Belle being with Phillip is also not terribly compelling. I enjoyed the show quite a bit more about a year… Read more »
This is fantastic! The new regime has definitely re-grounded the soap back to a soap worth watching. And I cannot wait for the 51st season, along with the 52nd!
Are they going to change their filming schedule?
I really wish with the DAYS renewal threads… this would have been addressed as a stipulation…
I hope some one… any one… can look in to this and share ?
Hello Mr. Fairman… any chance you can find this out…
Just a one year renewal? Better than not, but two would have been better.
They got renewed for 1 year, plus an option.
Lets hope this good news continues for all the remaining soaps…hopefully tptb realize soaps remain a popular and important part of daytime viewing for many years to come..now how is the status for the other three…GH has slightly improved and speaking of GH is Hayden really Pauls daughter?
Out of line! This comment d to be deleted immediately! Michael, do something.
This is my insane asylum…im here to stay-FOORRREEEEVVVVVEEEEEERRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!…lol
It wouldn’t be the same without you.
This is great news for not only DAYS fans but for the soap opera community in general. [FOUR STRONG!] Here comes Rebecca Herbst!
Nope congrats but if Fv lets her walk then GH is dead for me as a viewer ewe lost Jason Thompson stop the back stage politics she carried the story last year while Billy Miller sleep walked
I hope DAYS does snag her. GH has completely decimated the character of Liz, and always has her come up as the loser in everything. She should be the Jessie Brewer of the modern day…Head Nurse, take charge, full love life, respected, professional…never mind chasing after a brain damaged murderer. Now, she is so desperate for a friend, she is hanging with a serial killer who terrorized her and her family for years? Plain BAD writing. BUT…..in the past few years, DAYS has hired some serious big name talent in the COMPLETELY wrong roles!! They NEED to hire her as… Read more »
Ta – Da ! drum roll….. Ladies and Gentlemen ! I give you…. ” Is Liz a secret super vixen ” ———— she’s on the cover of the latest SOD issue w/above caption supervixen 1.A beautiful woman of Domineering stature. 2.A Woman worthy of having a religion dedicated to her. One (specifically feemale) Who has many followers and carries herself with a goddess like elegance. 3. A strong woman who leaves an everlasting Impression on one. (see also Glamazon) one could clearly see Liz… escaping, if you will… not unlike Jake acting out… now it’s Liz turn. after… Read more »
And yes Jason Thompson making the role his own we do however need a scene with him and Jess I don’t like lazy actors Jason is not one nor is Becky
when JT made his debut… I watched his scenes… and the scenes between Ashley and Dr. Neville… you can really tell that Michael E. Knight… delights in his scenes with Eileen Davidson… he matter of factly… fandom excite; is in to his job with ED. it’s a LOL delight as a fan to watch all else about Y&R I FF’d… just don’t have the time… point: I stopped watching all together… when no scenes between Jill and her own son materialized. deleted the last 3 episodes.. so I guess I’ll never know. these two storylines have all the potential
Great news for fans of Days, glad to see we are not losing another soap, at least for another year!
And the most creative soap on the air presently. I loved the Feb. 12–Valentine show–where all the couples had “dream” or “nightmare” vignettes.
I love that Days does something different and unexpected–and just sheer fun–for its fans. Loved most especially the 1940s-style fim noir of Patch and Kayla. That’s what I’m talking about! Thanks, writers, directors, actors, etc. Way to go!
Mr. Fairman have you heard the rumor of the return of Chandler Massey?
Hi Mike the rumor, that I am hearing is will Horton is alive. Chandler Massey will be back on Days in about 6 months. Days tapes 5 to 6 months ahead, but they are thinking of changing it to 3 to 6 weeks ahead. Rumor is the real Will Horton was kidnapped. I hope this is true.
It’s most likely true, mike. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Chandler as Will make his return during the Friday Summer Olympics Cliffhanger (08-05-16)! There has to be something big for DAYS fans to hang in there during the 2 weeks preemption for Olypic coverage.
This is good news I watch the show every day whether it be good or bad,heard that Chases dad is coming back. He is already started filming. So see they do bring the dead back.
Woo freakin’ hoo!!! Love me some Days! I would be so sad to lose another iconic soap. Congrats and keep up the great work.
Yes!
Interesting that the renewal for Days is just for one year, with an option for an additional year (similar to the deal that CBS had with the NFL for the first year of Thursday night telecasts in 2014).
That would signal to me that NBC is hedging its bets and leaves the door open for a possible cancellation in the event that the 50th anniversary-fueled ratings bump doesn’t last in the coming months. And there is some evidence to suggest that the bump may have already evaporated.
Hopefully, it won’t come to that, but I’m merely being realistic.
As a fan for over 30 years, I love knowing Days will continue. No soap is perfect, but I have to says I am really enjoying the soap these days and I make a point to watch it off my DVR each night…I used to wait until the weekend to tackle the episodes for the week. While I am sure we all have favorites who are no longer on the show ( for me, it is Christie Clark’s Carrie), or favorites currently on the canvas (Suzanne Rogers is top notch in my book), I do enjoy all the current cast… Read more »
