REPORT: Days of our Lives Targets September Production Restart
Looks like Salem and Days of our Lives will be back in full-swing come September, if the target date holds true as revealed today by Deadline.
According to their sources, Corday Productions, who produces the long-running NBC daytime drama, sent out an email to cast members on Thursday notifying them of their intent to resume production come September 1st.
However for this article; reps for NBC, Corday and Sony Pictures TV declined to comment.
Days of our Lives has had enough shows banked through early October of this year, so was not pressed to get back into production amidst the coronavirus pandemic as much as CBS’ The Bold and the Beautiful (which went back into production a week and half ago), and The Young and the Restless and General Hospital who are targeting a mid-July restart.
All three of the shows, except for DAYS ran out of original episodes to air, back at the end of April of this year.
So, excited to hear that their may be plans ahead come fall for DAYS to come to back and tape new episodes? Comment below.
Glad to hear production starts back for DAYS but definitely don’t want to see that they are over 6 months ahead in production. I didn’t like how they were so far ahead and if a storyline wasn’t working, we couldn’t write in to voice our opinion so that maybe changes could be made. Sure will be nice to see all four soaps can carry one where we left off.
GH actually lasted until the end of May – thanks to the addition of a large amount of flashbacks.
Hopefully DAYS used the break top is advantage and adjusted storylines that weren’t working. They’ll be close to a taping schedule that the other shows use if they stick to this timing.
Exactly : DAYS schedule… would now be that much closer and in line with the remaining three. WOW as I tried to post… just twirking here and their… actors and writing … this could be exciting to see ALL 4 serials… just churning out… even becoming competitive… clean slate.
which brings up another pint… with @DAYS so far ahead… 8 months… it just wasn’t “fun” to post, knowing no results or change would be forthcoming. which isn’t to say it ever will. I want to cheer DAYS on….
Salem’ite ‘ LETS MOVE
Don’t see Newsom letting up not as long as it means they can turn our country into communism ! How is that working for you Hollywood ? Not so much fun when they are at your door is it?
With the utmost respect, Michael, I don’t know how it’s ok to keep allowing KKKay to post racist, ignorant things under the guise of commenting on TV shows. This one is not overtly racist, but it sure is ignorant and divisive. She is saying that we should let people keep dying, equating public health and science to communism! Her handle is basically KKK for crying out loud! Please Michael, don’t give these people and their hate a platform.
Great point and post, Soapfan! But, there’s freedom of speech and some never miss the opportunity to use it to spread their negativity. Yeah, let’s send everybody back out there! It’s only a pandemic and LIVES don’t matter!
Thank you for your reply, Lew, but as most Americans do, you misunderstand what “free speech” means. Its origin in the constitution is to protect the rights of people to protest to the government, the way #blacklivesmatter is, without being beaten, shot and/or imprisoned by the government (the way #blacklivesmatter protesters are). It is not meant to protect people who post hate-inciting messages on a soap opera message board, which is privately run and moderated. Posting here is not a right.
Edit: I really do appreciate your supportive comment, Lew. I wish more people here spoke up.
WHO’s MINDING the store
Ken Corday “fired” Greg Meng… ex co-executive Producer !!!! what does this mean for the fan
after all these years.. when these serials “LIKE” to meander to the fan… for their LOYALTY… had it not been for “yous”
I don’t know… i’ll take it for what it is. altho, I will voice ALL the comings and goings. who’s fired; let go
otherwise… PLEASE… because this fan … is still bowled over, with Ron Carlivati. HEY… take a look at Michael Fairman one on one w/Erika Slezak. SHE PRAISED his work for OLTL last days. that’s no small change.
I imagine this may have something to do with SONY ????? minding how @DAYS of OUR Lives should be a world wide especial… sigh! snore , more like, what those CBS shows “get”. SONY is the one that NEEDS to step up to the plate.
WOW …. surreal to know… that fans.. and at the expense of Corday production w/Sony w/NBC .. will not have that 8 month in the can . if Corday still has shows till the first 1/2 of October… and this ^^^^ states that Corday wants to start production Sept. 1, 2020. that would give a space of 6 weeks production to bag in the can. WHAT ? Tadah… here’s hoping this WORKS for Corday and his team (s).
which I’ve always thought… would excite even moreso… that the actors step up even moreso with Ron Carlivati and Ryan Quan TEAM (s) to produce even better ALL the denizen of Salem
WHO IS MINDING THE STORE
I pray we see the light past sept/oct 2021
Mucho Gusto
Do they really have shows “banked through the end of October” though? They replayed pretty much the last half of Thursday’s episode on Friday, so it seems like they’re already making use of editing to stretch out the episodes. As long as they don’t use ridiculous flashbacks like GH did, because flashbacks on Days kinda suck, the way they make them look and sound like somebody recorded a video off a TV with their cell phone.
This show has become almost unbearable to watch…with the repeat story arcs, mocking mental illness, endless kidnappings, usage of gun violence. But, the bomb scene (where the acting was horrible by John, Marlena, Hope, etc) was pathetic. Now, we have weddings that take up a whole week and are so poorly done due to budget its laughable. When did Will become ordained to officiate a wedding ceremony.Not sure what’s worse right now, the writing or some of the cartoonish acting. Never being a fan of the campy side of Days, I appreciate the acting and drama/angst brought by the actors that play Steve and Kayla. The actor that plays Steve has been so, good. The actor that plays Justin sounds like a petulant child at times and is no where near the acting range of those two powerful actors.
I think the show is in a good place story wise. However, the handwriting for soaps have been on the wall for some time. I preach it every time I write. The days of the large soap casts are over. Soaps have got to pare down to one core family and revolve the stories around generational issues just like night time dramas such as This is It and Blue Bloods. I’d love to have Gabi’s mother come back and be a homophobe comparing Abby endlessly to her dead sainted sister and disapproving of Will and Sonny raising Ari. I really loved cougar, promiscuous Belle because it took the characters from being so bland. Leo was someone not ever seen on television anywhere- I loved him as John’s son. The Sami and Marlena’s lifelong struggle which is always on the surface is worth weeks of drama. Sami Brady invented the word drama queen. So I say more realism and less ISA nonsense is the way to go.
GLAD TO HEAR THE NEWS I AM FRIENDS WITH SOME OF THE CAST MEMBERS SINCE 1986 I HAVE BEEN ATTENDING DAYS EVENTS AND LOVE DOING THAT ENJOY SEEING THE CAST AND FANS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD
I love Days and hope that it can survive with everything going on w/declining soap audiences and their budget constraints. John and Marlena are wonderful, but let’s face it they are beyond their acting prime and chemistry is meh. I don’t understand why writers don’t try pushing Steve/Kayla Johnson more to forefront instead of supporting.Those two actors can still act their butts off and have out of this world chemistry. Having one or more of their children on the show would bring in a freshness and ability with new stories. All we see mostly, same stuff with the varying branches from John/Marlena try and it’s old.
