     Robert Scott Wilson interview discussing his new  character Alex.



    at the end of the interview when he was asked about the move to Peacock. Doesn't sound worried at all. Basically said it happened earlier than they thought, but thinks moving to streaming demonstrates belief in the show. He said they got new cameras so the show will look better.

  2. Nbc press release on the move.https://www.nbcumv.com/mediavillage/interactive/2929fed4187b40648b79a9839e70e91fproduct169208/index.html?fbclid=IwAR36Vcn-LII7R5B22gWl9QCig5sNSX7I8xjMTQzD29wPv3YPfZXVZloB7NI#/brand/a1

    “This programming shift benefits both Peacock and NBC and is reflective of our broader strategy to utilize our portfolio to maximize reach and strengthen engagement with viewers,” said Mark Lazarus, Chairman, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “With a large percentage of the ‘Days of Our Lives’ audience already watching digitally, this move enables us to build the show’s loyal fanbase on streaming while simultaneously bolstering the network daytime offering with an urgent, live programming opportunity for partners and consumers.” 

    NBC owned stations will announce their specific daytime schedule soon.

    He never said he wouldn't do another soap again. He just doesn't like Los Angeles. I think GH is the last soap that films in New York.

  4. If if if if if it does well enough and they renew days for another year, how long do you all give it until ABC is like, ohhh GH is going to Hulu!

    I think the issue here is the suddenness of the move - it doesn't seem planned or well-thought out; we won't get a broadcast finale that will point viewers towards it going to streaming. It'll just unceremoniously make the move. It doesn't seem to be driven by affiliates having had enough of airing DAYS on broadcast but more of a desperate move to attempt to save Peacock as a streaming service - something that's quite the burden for DAYS to bare and arguably the chance seems bigger that DAYS will sink along with Peacock rather than act as catalyst for new subscribers to save the flailing streaming service.

    We'll see how it works out. As I said, it's already exclusively on streaming in some markets and I've always gotten the impression that DAYS always had a much younger demographic following than the other soaps, which is part of why it fell quickly to the bottom of the ratings as they already consume the shows in patterns that isn't on broadcast. I do think DAYS is probably the soap that could possibly thrive on streaming for that reason alone, but the hand its been dealt in the Peacock move isn't great.

    I don't think it's a death sentence, but it's an uphill struggle. If it gets renewed next year I do think they should reduce episodes to ~20-22 minutes and cut the cast. Soaps work better in the half hour format any way.

    If it is renewed, how do you think it'll be aired? I don't think it'll be 5 days anymore.
