A lot of my stopping during the 50th anniversary was more-so do to the production value being shown to us. Very green/blue/unedited. And it was unattractive to me. And a lot was happening that just felt... unnatural.
Him being the longest-writer is not going to sit well with me, and goes to show just how much Ken Corday is not paying attention at this point, among other things.
I was never a fan of the "writer" at any of his other soaps. But, I always stated: he would work at Days of Our Lives, and he semi-did.... when someone like Sheri Anderson was there to hone in his off-the-trails writing. Once she left, we were getting the face masks, etc. and it was just too much for me. I think he needed/needs a co-head writer who can level-out his... inability to cohesively pull a soap together.
The show moving from NBC to Peacock should have done something, but I am in the beginning of April 2024, and nothing I've seen via Peacock wouldn't have aired on NBC, if I am being honest. Again, I look at what TOLN/Prospect Park did with All My Children & One Life to Live in 2013, and it was miles ahead of what Days of Our Lives is producing in its writing. MILES! They are not utilizing their new platform, and that's a crying shame.
