Go Brad Bell! He’s the longest serving headwriter in daytime history and he has toppled Y&R in the important 18-49 demos.

We can only hope that Cwikly and Ford have been fired during the year between writing and airdate. Days is so bad. Lexie??? Really? Bad decisions by those in charge.

Very intrigued by the pod storyline. I don’t do spoilers so I have no idea who is in there. Enjoying Noel Maxim’s stuff so far.

It was definitely a studio space move that got rid of Hartford House. While still on CBS, P&G moved the show out of the CBS Broadcast Center into a tiny studio on West 81st St, Reeves Teletape studio. I got a glimpse at their soundstage from an actress on the show at the time. Very small studio.

Don’t ever forget that Spellman- Drucker was there the entire time that Albert Alarr was wreaking havoc and she did nothing to stop it. She was looking at retirement. Alarr was Co-EP and she was Supervising Producer. She supervised what was going on. Good riddance. Welcome Noel.

Yes. And you tried to tell me last week that it would be March or April. It’s still February. You were way off on that one! Regardless, I’m thrilled Spellman-Drucker is gone. She was useless and just bided her time until retirement. Good riddance!

In due time.

Days Of Our Lives has never been as bad as it is now! The writing is ridiculous with Cwikly and Ford. There aren’t any stories. There are scenes. And the scenes are so contrived and ridiculous. Bad writing and the executives who have allowed this share the blame. Days is never in Peacock’s Top shows. When Carlivati wrote the show, Days was almost always in the Top 10. We all know that Ron Carlivati has created his own soap and selling it to Peacock. How ironic would it be that Days gets cancelled when its contract is up and Ron’s soap replaces it. Come on Days. Do better. The show sucks.

Once again, Greg and Peter show how much they love working together, despite the terrible writing. They make their scenes work. I can see that Peter came back specifically to work with Greg and he’s having a good time trying to sell crap writing.

I blame Janet Spellman-Drucker too. She’s the day to day EP who oversees this mess. She cannot be gone soon enough.

Correct. An answer saying “I don’t know the answer”.

Yeah but I was looking for an actual answer.

Very refreshing to see 2 actors who obviously love working together, Greg and Peter, be the center of the episode today. Very enjoyable! The story sucks because of the incompetent headwriters but Greg and Peter make it work. As opposed to the icy scenes on Friday with actors who should put aside their personal feelings and do their job. Act. When the heck is Spellman-Drucker gone?? She’s been useless, on so many levels.

My point is that you are correct that Days does not spend money on research. Neither do any of the legacy soaps still on the air. They hire interns as ‘researchers’. That is a fact.

Social media is audience research. An intern tallies comments.

Do you really think that’s gonna happen? 🤣

Peter Porte obviously loves working with Greg and I’m sure that played into his decision to return to Days. Loved the Leo and Dimitri scenes today. Greg has chemistry with his on screen partners. I actually liked today’s show, despite the dull headwriters.

Never knew that Johnny was so close to his no no. This whole Stefano thing was so lethargic. No energy to the scenes. Stefano deserved a better send off years ago. This was a waste of time. Stefano died when Joe Mascolo died - in 2016.

No one can refute the fact that when Ron Carlivati wrote Days, it was regularly in the Top 10 on Peacock. Now, it’s never in the Top 10. Cwikly and Ford have tanked the show. It’s so dull. Nothing happens. Oh wait, Stefano died. For real. lol Days needs big changes behind the scenes.

Melissa Hayden was SO good. Anyone know whatever happened to her?

Cannot stand this Theo. A recast is needed. Otherwise, the show is still dull. The actors are sleepwalking through their scenes. They deserve better writing.

As long as Leo is front and center!

Incredibly BORING episode! Joe Mascolo has been dead for years so now Stephano is dead. Stupid stupid stupid. I want my Days back. Terrible writing.

Days is SO bad! Nothing happens. Cwiky and Ford are inept. Days USED to be in the Top 10 on Peacock. Not anymore.

@Vee loves me! Always claims to ignore yet always knows what I say. Vee’s jealous of my connections. Research absolutely ranks Leo at the top.
