Members daysfan Posted August 15, 2006 Members Share Posted August 15, 2006 After this I am on the verge of not watching Days, I have been bored to death ever since Captive Island in 2004. When I heard around this time last year the A/C were coming back I thought I would finally have something to watch but I have been half liking them this time, I hoped Sheffer would do something with them but he didn't and it angers me... they could have just cut Tek, Patrick, Lexie, Abe or any of those other useless characters but no, they fire two of my favorite characters.

Members King Posted August 15, 2006 Members Share Posted August 15, 2006 Well, I agree with that. We all know NBC is the worst network out there right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaysForever Posted August 15, 2006 Members Share Posted August 15, 2006 Yeah. I bet Corday and Sheffer both made the decision to fire them both. I know you're mad right now, but IMO, they were completely filler since they returned in November. It must SUCK for the actors to return to the show, only to find out you're going to be doing practically the same storyline as before. I feel bad for the actors, but IMO, the characters are useless. Sorry if I offend you, KR. ABCD is also catching up. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted August 15, 2006 Members Share Posted August 15, 2006 It's ok. I know many feel the way you do. But I think A/C have had some excellent moments since they have returned. Two weeks being the best so far. I loved their rooftop lovemaking session. Ughhhhhhhh. Haha. ABCD does suck worse than NBCD, IMO. But I meant networks as a whole. Maybe if NBC hadn't flopped the last three seasons in primetime, they wouldn't have to slash the budget so drastically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaysForever Posted August 15, 2006 Members Share Posted August 15, 2006 ^I have to agree to that. The past 2 weeks of A/C have been awesome. It's just when they were written under Reilly, I could not stand them. That would make sense. Once Friends and Frasier went off the air, the network's ratings flopped... drastically.

Members daysfan Posted August 15, 2006 Members Share Posted August 15, 2006 Yeah I have really liked A/C these past few weeks and before they leave I hope I at least get to see them be happy together a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dayslover Posted August 15, 2006 Members Share Posted August 15, 2006 I AM GOING TO STOP WATCHING DAYS With this news, I'm going to stop. Thank God the Netherlands are back in November 2004, so I can see the whole Carrie/Austin thing again. I never liked there stories of when they came back, but THEY made me watch Days in 1995, and I NEVER Stopped. Now with Christie and Austin Peck leaving, and with Farah Fath, Kyle Brandt and Melissa Reeves I have no reasons to watch Days again. I do like Patrick, Abby, Max and Belle but they don't have good stories. So I guess Days will get boring with Marlena/John/Roman, Bo/Hope/Billie, Kayla/Steve, and Sami/Lucas/EJ. I'm going to stop watching Days unless this is just a stunt for a new storyline involving those 2 actors. Christie and Austin don't deserve this. Why don't they cut Bonnie, Billie, Roman off ??

Members King Posted August 15, 2006 Members Share Posted August 15, 2006 Preach it, Preach it. (Except for that Billie part.) If Koslow or Pinson are next, I am booking a flight to Burbank ASAP so I can throw down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daysfan Posted August 15, 2006 Members Share Posted August 15, 2006 I wish NBC would look here or at other message boards to see what the fans want!!! Do they even read the message boards on nbc.com?!!!They say they do this for our enjoyment but are we enjoyying A/C being fired?!!! No!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted August 15, 2006 Administrator Share Posted August 15, 2006 I'm not that sad/mad. Their returned flopped. As long as DAYS stays on the air, bring on the budget cuts. I'm a DAYS fan first, not a couple or character fan first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Andre Posted August 15, 2006 Members Share Posted August 15, 2006 I didn't expect this many SON fans to turn. I don't get it. Sure, they could have used them, but they COULD do a lot of things. I don't see how Austin and Carrie are vital to the show. ETA: Stop watching? Really? I'm a fan of storytelling first and foremost. If there will be good stories, I'll stay. When Suzanne Rogers was fired, that is where true outrage should have been placed. Most kept watching. But Christie Clarke and Austin Peck are the last straw? Gimme a break. *Cough*Fair weather*Cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaysForever Posted August 15, 2006 Members Share Posted August 15, 2006 I agree with you 100%, Toups. I'm not a big fan about certain couples or characters, either. I just love to watch the show and see what kind of stories we are given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bree Posted August 15, 2006 Members Share Posted August 15, 2006 I like Austin and Carrie, but I'm not surprised, nor sad to see them go. Honestly, the Sami/Austin/Carrie/Lucas quad was tiresome and it needed to end. If only JER had decided to do something different, instead of rehasing the sibling swap of the 90s. It is frustrating that the show is getting rid of actors and actresses before Beth and Hogan can really start things, and if Corday is insisting this show is going to rest squarely on the shoulders of Swamp Fetus and a bunch of Sweet Valley clones, he's sadly mistaken.

Members SouthOfSoap Posted August 15, 2006 Members Share Posted August 15, 2006 I agree that Austin & Carrie are no supercouple, but they are the embodiement of Days of our Lives from the 1990's together with Sami and Lucas. These four were frontburner for better part of a decade when Days built its newer generation of viewers. I wouldn't tune out because A&C are gone, but I did start loosing interest when CC left in 1999 - I consider that the pivotal moment when Days went into decline, coupled with the SORASed brats and Langanville.

Members dragonflies Posted August 15, 2006 Members Share Posted August 15, 2006 I agree with Toups, their return flopped. They were nothing more than props and angst for Sami & Lucas. I like A&C well enough, but not enough to stop watching the show. I don't think they're that vital to the show, not like J/J or Bo & Hope....
