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.

I’m not a fan of you @Khan but yes, Deidre and that coldness she exudes to Suzanne Rogers is disgusting. Suzanne is the nicest person ever.

It was SO noticeable! Deidre can be very cold.

I so agree and I’m going to put it on Deidre, not Suzanne.

Believe what you want.

Leo and Xander are the most popular characters in research that Corday and Peacock use to determine story.

I’ve hated Cwikly and Ford’s writing for months. Go back and look. I didn’t throw in a line. I love the Leo character, yes. Leo has been around for 9 or so years now. Leo was front and center when Ron Carlivati was writing the show in the early Peacock days and the show was in Peacock’s Top 10. Cwikly and Ford don’t know how to write Leo. Ron knew how to write him. Ron knew how to keep Days in Peacock’s Top 10.

Huh? Where did I ever say that viewership was up? I’ve been trashing Cwikly and Ford for months and continually point out that Days is not in the Top 10 on Peacock like it was regularly when Ron Carlivati wrote the show.

You know that Ron Carlivati made his mark when he’s been gone almost a year and yet he is still mentioned. Great Leo scenes today. I see why Greg’s peers nominate him for Emmys. Al Calderon is not the best actor. I hope Javi sees Leo before leaving town. As much as I detest Cwikly and Ford, they are writing Leo front and center because the character tests so well with the audience. They don’t write Leo the same as Ron, yet they know they have to write for Leo because of his popularity with the audience.

Why can’t we get news that Cwikly and Ford have been fired? They deserve it more than these 4 actors.

Greg Rikaart is beyond killing it! A soap actor has to take the most ridiculous script and make it believable. Greg is doing that. The scripts suck, Greg sells it. Love him!
