Members marceline Posted December 12, 2012 Members Share Posted December 12, 2012 Yeah. I think it's just a matter now of waiting for the announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 12, 2012 Members Share Posted December 12, 2012 Wait: Who the [!@#$%^&*] is going to crew this show? Josh Taylor and Bryan Dattillo? In other news, that music video just brings so much [!@#$%^&*] back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 12, 2012 Members Share Posted December 12, 2012 Sorry to say but I was thinking the exact same thing when I read this announcement. NBC has been terrific at decimating every last one of its Daytime soaps, show by show over the last few decades. Days would be the piece de resistance.

Members Khan Posted December 12, 2012 Members Share Posted December 12, 2012 Well, it's not like they don't have much time on their hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted December 12, 2012 Members Share Posted December 12, 2012 I agree this is the final nail in DAYS' coffin. The ratings are bad, the studio space is leased, the crew's been laid off... I just hope Lauren Koslow is on the phone NOW with her agent to get a meeting with Brad Bell.

Members wingwalker Posted December 12, 2012 Members Share Posted December 12, 2012 That's sad to here. Loosing your job around Christmas time is not cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jane1978 Posted December 12, 2012 Members Share Posted December 12, 2012 I´m sure if NBC wanted they could give these people a new deal. They had to know for atleast 2 months now, ever since Corday announced the plan to move fell through. This just feels like the network decided these people just aren´t necessary for the approx. 4+ months of taping needed for the show to finish its current contract. There is still a chance atleast some of them could be hired directly by Corday Productions, but they would have to be paid directly from the show's budget and I´m not sure that´s possible even if Corday wanted. Still, someone has to do the job and because it seems NBC has washed its hands with "it's not our studio, so it's not our problem", it will be up to Corday to find the cheapest replacement possible. In both ways it's another dent into show's budget because jobs which were essentially outsourced and paid by NBC till now will have to be paid directly by Corday.

Members gtru1981 Posted December 12, 2012 Members Share Posted December 12, 2012 I think this is the last leg for the show. I expect it to be canceled in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted December 12, 2012 Members Share Posted December 12, 2012 Shall we start the pool on when the announcement comes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted December 12, 2012 Members Share Posted December 12, 2012 So NBC paid these people's salaries and now that they are laid off Corday has to find the money to pay people to do these jobs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 13, 2012 Members Share Posted December 13, 2012 That's what it sounds like - the union involved had a deal with NBC when they owned the studio, which has since expired. DAYS now has to scramble to find replacements, and pay for them out of their own pocket. Given that DAYS has a shoe string budget to begin with, and the low ratings, it probably doesn't look too good for the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted December 13, 2012 Members Share Posted December 13, 2012 So these firings will take affect on-screen sometime in mid to late March, I presume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted December 13, 2012 Members Share Posted December 13, 2012 Unless Ken Corday miraculously finds the cash needed to hire a new crew, I don't expect DAYS to last much longer (on-air) than March 2013. At best, they'll find enough money to hire a sort of "skeleton crew" to keep the show going long enough to write and produce a proper (if rushed) ending. However, even under those circumstances, it can't be a long-term solution, or else DAYS will run seriously over budget. Worst-case scenario: DAYS stops production immediately, and abruptly; a final airdate is announced; and viewers are left hanging in the worst way ever.

Members marceline Posted December 13, 2012 Members Share Posted December 13, 2012 Yikes. That would officially be the worst cancellation scenario ever. Worse even than the ABC/PP debacle. They shoot that far ahead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
