I do my part by watching Days on my smart tv because they say it counts toward the views. The show is so boring! I wish the show would provide enjoyment again. It’s SO dull.

I wish they had cast a veteran soap actor to play Diane’s doctor instead of this guy. Poor choice.

Wonderful tribute Deidre today. The writers hit every note perfectly. I met Deidre many years ago and she was lovely to talk to.

That’s fine to disagree. I think that they spent too much time on soap opera slaps which in my opinion, ridicules soaps. There was nothing NEW in the interview. Deidre has been on The Today Show many times and previously talked about how she turned down the role before accepting it and when the Ryan Gosling thing happened several months ago, the show covered it. I was expecting more than a rehash of what has already been talked about.

Hopefully this can tie into this thread. Deidre Hall was on The Today Show this morning. They did a great job of teasing her appearance but I was very dissatisfied with Craig Melvin. Deidre has been on Days for 50 years! So much to celebrate, so of course they focused on comas, back from the dead and WAY too much time on the soap opera slap. I felt so bad for Deidre! 50 years and she has to do a soap opera slap??? What about the great emotional stories like DJ’s death or John’s death? True emotion. The Today Show made fun of soaps and I felt bad for Deidre because Craig cut her off at times. And the Ryan Gossling stuff happened months ago yet they acted like it was new. I do feel really really bad for Deidre that NBC brought her onto The Today Show (3 million viewers) and didn’t delve into why she is an icon! That rant aside, today’s Juneteenth episode was not boring. Intriguing.

Brad is very close to having B&B number 1 in the women 18-49 soaps demo for the entire season for the first time in the shows history. He may fall just short of that, but I’d say that’s quite a feat.

Apparently cliffhangers, specifically Friday cliffhangers are a thing of the past.

Wonderful! I’m such a fan of Brad Bell. His run as headwriter of B&B is the longest reign in soap history. He’s the best.

I’m not a he, thank you very much. So glad you found a friend with Liberty. Moving on, Days is still lethargic and slow. There’s no story, just scenes. It’s a chore to watch each episode. Nothing really happens. Characters talk. Where are the cliffhangers that get the viewer to tune in tomorrow? They are non existent at Days. Reddit has them at Snores of our Lives.

Shows how much I care. 🙄 Another very dull episode of Days today. June 4, 2026. They produce scenes with no real story. It’s OK to mock me when I say Days is not in Peacock’s Top 10 like it used to be. It’s the truth!! Days is a mess!

Just looked back on this thread. You know that Days is really, really bad when the 2 gossip people Jane and Carolyn can’t get their gossip straight about Albert Alarr from years ago. June 2026. Days is a mess!

More dull Days episodes this week. At least breakdown writers are only involved with their assigned episodes. They do not write long term story. The awful combo of Cwikly/ Ford are involved with every episode, unfortunately. But, change is on the way! Thank god. Days is all over the place. Who is Destiny? Why do we care that she died? Another example of these inept headwriters not having a plan. Monday they had the Green’s unseen mother as the central story and Tuesday into today we had Destiny (who??) as their main story. lol I have very high hopes for Ryan Quan. It’s going to be a LONG year. And poor Days still isn’t in Peacock’s Top 10, like it used to be when Ron was writing it.

You can already predict that the breakdown was bad.

Poor Days is so lifeless! As someone said in the May discussion, the show drags. It was a longggg 42 minutes today. I thought the show must be close to being over today and paused it to see the time and it was only 16 minutes in. It’s so dull. And like I said last week, they just put scenes together and call it a show. I like Mark, but out of nowhere todays A storyline is Kat and Mark about their mother. How did that become the top storyline? Isn’t Paulina the Mayor? Oh sure, she has time to offer to run Sweet Bits. Abe is already kissing Lexie (who has a mustache)? Theo desperately needs to be recast! John Paul Lavoisier is out of control with his acting style. It’s very irritating. Welcome to current Days. Throw scenes that make no sense together and call it a show. Today was agonizing.

I’ve been saying for months that Cwikly/Ford are a disaster. This preview proves it. Dull. Boring. Thank god Cwikly decided to retire. Long overdue.

Days just has scenes now. No A stories or B stories. They put a bunch of scenes together and call it a show. Sad.

Bless his heart but the actor (don’t know his name, don’t care) who plays Aaron is not cut out for soaps. This episode won’t be on his Emmy reel. 🤣

Excellent news! I wish that Ford had retired too but any kind of change is welcomed. The show has been so lifeless with Cwikly/Ford. Ryan Quan can’t start soon enough!

Days should be ashamed of their Memorial Day episode! Absolutely disgusting that Days tried to do Memorial Day and failed. Having Philip dress up and be Semper Fi and recount his anti Semper Fi acts was ridiculous. Always faithful, always loyal. Then they did a Memorial Day board??? What a slap in the face to those who did serve and lost their lives. Do better next time, Days.

It never made any sense whatsoever that Cwikly/Ford had to use Carlivatis outlines for months. They would have to pay Ron and also pay these inept women. Thanks to Ron for clearing that up, finally. Donna Bridges always insisted that Ron’s outlines were used for months after his name disappeared. SMH. That being said, Days is so boring. Cwikly/Ford have been there for well over a year and the show is a snoozefest. Where are the cliffhangers? These writers only know how to tickle the audience into thinking there is something big ahead and then nothing happens. Days is in the worst shape in its history. It’s never in Peacock’s Top 10 anymore. The show was regularly in the Top 10 when Ron was headwriter. Maxam has to get on the headwriters to step it up or begone. Yeah, I know they are about a year ahead and what we are seeing now was done months and months ago. I cannot imagine another year of this boring writing.

Exactly!

I miss the Days when Days was good and in the Top 10 daily on Peacock. The Ron Carlivati days. The show is so boring now. Sigh. Lexi back from the dead is the story no one requested. Snore.

It’s such a slap in the face to Michele Val Jean to praise every single writer except Jamey. Michele reads, edits and approves every single breakdown. We know that this person hates Jamey for whatever reason. Jamey will never write an acceptable breakdown in that person’s opinion but somehow his breakdowns get approved by the showrunner. Imagine that. 🤣😆

Jamey Giddens episode. It won’t be good. 🤣

Thursday was a snore. Very weird editing and nothing stood out except for the Choi woman getting hysterical. Skip it.
