    Only 29 minutes of "DAYS" was aired here in NY. But even that was too much. I could barely stomach any of it. It was just utter garbage. The acting was horrid and the camp was just ridiculous. It's like the actors were told to recite their lines and not even attempt to act anything out despite it being a standalone non-canon episode.

     

    To truly produce this concept they should have made it clear from the outset that it was a standalone. They should have written the script where it was the worst nightmares of whoever was dealing with each mess of their lives, whether it was Nicole, Ben, Sonny/Will, Eric, or whomever. Hell, even show scenes as if they were flashbacks or dream sequences. SOMETHING!!! Otherwise, it looked like a regular episode to anyone who just happened to tune in with some of the worst acting I've ever seen from people I know have some talent in them. Just WOW. What a bad episode.

  2. General Hospital

    As expected, ABC has announced that it will be tinkering with the “General Hospital” airing schedule due to the coronavirus pandemic forcing the show to suspend production earlier this month. With no set date for when the show will resume production, and with President Donald Trump announcing that the United States has extended its social…

    @Errol @KMan101 Thanks for the background! CBS should definitely consider heavily editing 'classic' episodes of Y&R - the unfortunate nature of a regular soap episode is that it contains B&C stories that often were at an uninteresting stage and/or featuring long-forgotten characters when compared with the 'A' story, which is the reason it was selected for re-airing.  It sounds like ABC recognized that and came up with a solution that resonated with the audience. 

     

    Another option for Y&R (and GH) would be to split the remaining new episodes into 30-minutes, but that's highly unlikely. The network could fill the other 30-minutes with news. 

     

    I believe the episodes will be edited, but only to supplant it with different music (due to music rights issues) and to accommodate current commercial time standards.

     

    The issue with reducing to half-hour to help extend the shows is what the air the other half-hour. Plus, do you air the new episode at the top of the hour or the back half? They don't want to lose viewers, so it'll be a tough call on what they eventually decide and how to promote it so that viewers don't get confused.

     

    Tonight marks the beginning of reduced scheduling for the British soaps so we'll soon hear how their fans react.
