Members Angela Posted June 30, 2009 Members Share Posted June 30, 2009 The Annual DAYS Cancellation Issue. Heh, I always enjoy Ken Corday interviews. Cover Story: Ken said he asked the producer and writer to come up with a big story for Bo and Hope for the fall and not one of the regular fluff pieces - they came up with Carly. They called Crystal. He thinks Bo-in-the-middle triangles are more interesting than Hope-in-the-middle triangles, and not because Peter got an Emmy nomination. Chappell brings "a huge audience" from GL. Wally is recurring; he'll be the voice of reason in the Daniel/Philip story. John/Marlena, Patch/Kayla? It was a choice between 3 powerful couples. He tells fans not to do a "price check" - whatever that means (I guess between those actors and the actors coming in) - because it isn't even in the same league. He also tells fans that they can see those peeps at luncheons because "that was then and this is now." He says the most important period EVER of this show will be September - March 2010. Their ratings then will determine if they get another year on NBC. Says they're focusing on the younger people during the summer but they arent going to be driving story by summers end. EJ/Sami/Nicole story will blow up before AZ's maternity leave in December; Bo/Hope/Carly/Daniel, Stephanie/Philip, Melanie/Nathan will play this fall.

Members ChiTownBoi03 Posted June 30, 2009 Members Share Posted June 30, 2009 Shocking ending?? Oh lord jesus...I hope DAYS doesn't cheat us out of a proper payoff to this drawn-out baby thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted June 30, 2009 Members Share Posted June 30, 2009 Its a very misleading headline. This story is far from over.... I do like that photo tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Carolyn1980 Posted June 30, 2009 Members Share Posted June 30, 2009 I don't think DAYS has to worry about being canceled next year. NBC's fourth hour of the TODAY show does much worse than DAYS (although it is a lot cheaper). I think even if DAYS' ratings start to go down again, they will just cut more costs (Bo/Hope) to get the licensing fee down far enough for NBC to pick it up again. I'd say after a 2-year pick-up in 2010 (through 2012), THEN DAYS might have reason to worry by the end of that contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted June 30, 2009 Members Share Posted June 30, 2009 The economy is killing primetime, and NBC is at bottom almost across the board. So I'm not sure, actually, how affordable Days is at this level of performance. That said, I love the narrative of "comeback kid". I love the idea that DOOL cheated death, rose back up to #2 in households (not yet) and #1 or #2 in the demographic. I really, really hope that happens. For me, that's like the first green weed that sprouts in the forest after a fire. It is hope for renewal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted June 30, 2009 Members Share Posted June 30, 2009 Ah yes - the semi-annual Corday interview. I can't wait. Nuking up some popcorn right now. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted June 30, 2009 Members Share Posted June 30, 2009 If the Today show is cheaper to produce Days is gone. It's all about saving money not matter if Today's show numbers are less than Days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jcar03 Posted June 30, 2009 Members Share Posted June 30, 2009 Well the fouth hour of Today may be cheaper but does it bring in money? I'm guessing not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted June 30, 2009 Members Share Posted June 30, 2009 Not true, it comes to bottom line. NBC pays a fee to air Days, not its entire production like it does Today. The fourth hour of Today may be cheap to produce for NBC however they also dont bring in the revenue Days does. It comes down to how much revenue vs how much costs vs long term plan for NBC at this point. its a 50/50 shot. It could go either way. If it does get the ax i just hope they go out well, its obvious GL and ATWT will not. EXACTLY. I met to save the site, but i was on my pohone and didnt., But there was an article talking about the lack of revenue the 4th hour of today brings in because they have to sell the ad time at such a low level. Today show's 4th hour is mostly breaking even, according this article, but struggling to do so. Days may coast more, but it also brings in more.

Members tina m Posted July 1, 2009 Members Share Posted July 1, 2009 Interesting DAYS article. I might have to read that. Glad to hear Starr and Cole's wedding is off... too young to get married... I knew Dominic was Dante.. I just wonder if Claudia knows that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted July 1, 2009 Members Share Posted July 1, 2009 Even as old as they are Bo and Hope still come across as younger than John/Marlena, Patch/Kayla and I think they're the more popular couple. I like them more anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted July 1, 2009 Members Share Posted July 1, 2009 Putting Bo, Hope, and Carly front and center is the one saving grace they can give its longtime fans. That being said... Melanie and Nathan? Haven't TPTB at DAYS realized yet that Melanie is in the same league as Willow, Touch the Sky, Tinda Lau chick... people just don't care? And aren't there 1 or 2 new girls hanging out with not-Ethan Brady Black? Oy, there's just so many newbies on this show. I'll check back in on the Salem folks in September. In the meantime, I still haven't watched DAYS on any type of regular basis since sometime in April. :::sigh::: And I don't miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChiTownBoi03 Posted July 1, 2009 Members Share Posted July 1, 2009 We can catch them at luncheons...?? This article just reaffirms my reasons for only catching DAYS every three weeks on YT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 1, 2009 Members Share Posted July 1, 2009 Don't let Kathie Lee kill DAYS! Perhaps that should be their ad campaign. Show the SNL impression of Kathie Lee, then show some good DAYS clip. (apologies to Kathie Lee fans, I know she's not that bad...I'd take her over Matt Lauer these days) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
