Kill it, pull the plug. If Carlivati is going to continue to write this crap, let it go.
Im an old viewer starting when I was 12 years old and now I’m 59. 47 years of my life.
A few years ago, I fought like hell online for the show not to be cancelled. I poured my heart and soul into that cause. For me to say End It….that’s major. ⌛️The sand has run out.

Days needs a 2 year renewal,this 1 year renewal gets to stressful lol. I hope Days, makes changes. Rumour is there looking for a Hope recast.

Right now, the way it’s been going and the nuttiest stories ever, I would not miss it in the least. Why beat a dead horse?

This soap is so bipolar it is barely enjoyable anymore, and, it is a damn shame, because it has the potential to be everything it should be. And considering they are currently not producing, due to it being that time of the year where NBC renews or not, I do think it is time to bring up some major points.

— NBC needs to intervene a this point. Sony Pictures Television could give two-shits about Days of Our Lives, and I have a feeling NBC cares more than Sony, so if i were the network, I would buyout Sony in an effort to gain more control over the day-to-day operations of this soap. Under NBC’s control, Universal Television could take over both distribution and production of the soap, and might bring in some budget for better production values.

— Ken Corday needs to go. Much like Bradley Bell, he is incapable of spearheading this ship anymore. He’s continually providing false promises of reboots and new changes, and all we are given is the same, recycled shit over-and-over-and-over again. I ultimately believe Greg Meng should be brought back in as an executive producer; he was champion for the cast and for this soap, and brought a lot in the final few years. If we want someone with history in American soaps, we could bring on David Shaughnessy, who was quite the effective executive producer at The Young and the Restless for several years, and could do the same at Days of Our Lives. If we want to go to someone of fresher blood, I would recommend bringing on a co-executive producer alongside Meng in the form of Ginger Smith, who served as the executive producer for TOLN’s All My Children. She pulled that soap together within six weeks, and she did an incredible job at doing so. And I do believe she could do it again at Days of Our Lives.

— Ron Carlivati needs to go as head writer. Look, I admit: I was someone who believed Carlivati might just be the one to help this soap as a head writer, and I say that as someone who genuinely dislikes his writing and writing style. His first year or two were quite solid, thanks to additions of Sheri Anderson and Ryan Quan as creative consultants, but once Anderson left it began to genuinely fall apart. He relies on soap tropes that are tired, over-used and recycled, and it needs to ultimately end. If they want to promote from within, I would recommend promoting Lorraine Broderick to the role of head writer: she served in the role from October 15 to November 10, 199.

I know Broderick is not interesting in becoming a head writer after All My Children ended, however, I am going to go towards that time for potential new head writers. Much like Smith, I’d go for Marlene McPherson & Elizabeth Snyder, who were the head writers for TOLN’s All My Children. They did some of the most groundbreaking, edgy work, all while maintaining some classic soap writing. Ultimately, we need writers who’ll stop the dramatics of over-reacting and over-writing, and re-centralize the canvas with some much-required grounding within reality, without missing the important marks. It needs to happen.

Been watching Days since the beginning!! I would hate to see it go off the air. It is my bright spot of the day to watch the goings on in Salem!! Please renew!!!

Love Days Of Our Lives….Please renew the show!

Yes I am hopeful. I have watched almost from beginning and is the best soap ever. It would be missed greatly.

There are only two soaps that have ever aired in Hell. They also happen to be the two oldest shows currently on the air either down here or up there, and both have come close to getting canceled in recent years, thanks to ReRon’s horrible writing.

He killed One Life to Live. He came damn close to killing General Hospital. Don’t let him kill Days. Get rid of him. Now. And take his idiotic repeat tape loop plots of baby switches, dopplegangers/masks, mental cases and “reformed” serial killers with him…. and do it before he tries to explain Ben’s past with a brain tumor (like he did with his pet serial killer on GH…. a ridiculous mistake that took nearly a decade to resolve, but FINALLY was – 6 years or so after ReRon was gone from GH)

Aside from the bad writing, there’s also been neglect of Salem’s core families for a while now. There are only a handful of people with Horton DNA currently in Salem, and only two (Lucas & his daughter Allie) who actually have the name. The Brady clan isn’t doing much better. Kayla’s the only original Brady who’s around on any semi-regular basis. Roman is rarely seen. Sami’s a revolving door, and her siblings are long gone.

Even the two families which turned up later are in trouble. Other than the occasional Tony appearance, the only DiMeras we see are the kids that didn’t grow up that way. Hell, Stefano never even MET Jake. Or his dead twin brother Stefan. And with old Victor being gone most of the time (permanently so, soon, I’m afraid, given his obvious declining health) the Kiriakis family tree is pretty much down to Phillip & Xander.

Yeah, the Elvis recast is on the way….. given all the other failed recasts under the current regime, I’m not putting much faith in that.

Bring back Will & Sonny, for Hell’s sake. The ultimate Days legacy couple. Between the two of them, they’re probably related to everybody. And if you need new characters, there’s always Sonny’s brothers. Who for some reason have never been seen, or at least not since a random appearance as a little kid on some Xmas episode, decades ago (Senior Devil moment, I can’t actually remember if any of them were ever shown as children)

Losing Sarah Horton was a mistake…. though I suspect we might be in for a recast there, now that talk of the “private DiMera island” has suddenly come up again. Sarah should be back. As well as Jennifer & Mike. And some other Hortons previously unseen or not seen in so long we forgot their names. Hell, they created cousin Eli out of thin air a few years ago. I mean, the relationship of his parents David & Valerie made daytime history when it happened back in the 70s…. but Eli wasn’t supposedly born until YEARS after that. Weird retcon… especially since they killed off poor David in absence even before Eli showed up. That was another mistake…. they should have brought him back at the time along with his kid. Neither one used the Horton name, but legit family ties at least.

The Brady family tree could use some new branches. Bring the rest of Sami’s kids back. Bring Steve & Kayla’s kids out of exile. Not expecting a Kim & Shane return at this point, but their kids could always make a comeback. Don’t think we have seen Andrew since he was a baby. Teresa had potential as a character. And for the love of all that’s unholy, can we get the REAL Eve Donovan back, for Hell’s sake?? Yeah, she was only a step-Brady, but she would be a worthy addition to the cast. Unlike that abomination pet of ReRon’s who tarnished that character’s name.

Anyway, I don’t want to be a rambling incoherent Devil here, so I’ll quit now, but just sayin’… there are things that could be done to save this show. I’ll even come up and possess Marlena again, if that’s what it takes!!

I love days of our lives I want it to keep going I like all the actors .so please keep it on I am a Senior love to watch this is the only show I watch .I would be so upset if the show goes of the air

Yes I hope they continue on with another season. I have been watching for 47 years. This program is like my family.

I have watched Days from day one. I love the show.

I watch 3 soaps This is my favorite by far Hope it stays on air

With all the crap going on in the real world, I need my escape to my soap world. I started watching with my great grandmother and still watching today. I need it for my release. I can scream at the tv and it helps to get it out on something other than the real world. Please renew my safe place.
