AHEM......

DAYS OF OUR LIVES WILL NEVER AIR ON CBS. NEVER. EVER.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to listen. This has been juniorz1, with another not so groundbreaking NewsFlash. Tomorrow, read about why Roseanne wasn't cast as Babe Chandler......

Exactly!! Why change what doesn't need changed. GL is at the bottom of the ratings, but they remain *stable* and are not up and down or all over the place. GL doesn't need to go anywhere and I can't see DAYS on CBS.

Let's put it this way.

CBS would never cancell GL as we approach the 70th anniversary. It's not their style and it seems it's not true anyway so that dispels that.

Now, onto Days, it will not end in 2009. It may be the end of Days as we know it but it will find a new home. I, personally, don't want any soap to be cancelled for it and I am saying this is a Days fan. The selfish part of me does but I like ATWT and GL too and watch them all the time (ATWT is boring right now but I digress) and would never want them canned for Days. Think of things if you were fans of the shows being cancelled to make room for another show. How would you feel? Those saying GL or any soap should be cancelled so that another show can move should think about how they would feel if the shoe was on the other foot.

However, if ATWT and/or GL was cancelled this year (we don't nothing yet just speculation as their contracts expire soon) and CBS picked up Days a year or so later after putting something else in the time slots or something then I could live with it because they would've not went from one soap to bringing in soap from another network. I think that may be better PR-wise but that won't happen. If it happens, they will cancel a soap and move Days in.

The bottom line is Days will have a new home. The easiest thing is to get ratings up and have a miracle happen and it stays on NBC but that is looking bleak no matter which why you look at it. I know I would never want to be someplace where I'm not wanted and NBC clearly doesn't want them. ABC is the likely candidate for Days but, again, I don't want any soap removed for Days. I just think it will happen and it's the reality of it. I know many question why ABC or CBS would want to bring another soap in with the genre how it is and all but Days is different. It's one of the big 3 along with GH and Y&R. It's popularity is massive. The networks know that. It's not like SFT-a move could work. Not saying it will for sure but it could because Days is hugely popular. It's just the reality of the issue at hand.

This sucks all around. It seems like rumors and bad news is coming every one or two days. The Passions news sparked something. 2007 is already turning out to be a horrible year of upheaval.

    • Bloodshed is inevitable now. It’s another reason I’m glad Black people aren’t getting involved in these protests. As awful as this is, I keep reminding myself that 54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump. These people were put in harm’s way by members of their own communities and sometimes even members of their own families. Too many people decided to touch the stove.
    • Maybe I'm still in denial, but nothing about Neighbours' ongoing social media output gives the vibe of a show that's ending. In today's 'Roundup' video, Alan Fletcher referenced that production finishes in five weeks, but in all the show's posts the cast are as jovial and lighthearted as ever. Remarkably so for people who are about to lose their jobs.    Perhaps they're just putting a brave face on things, and I know they approached the previous axing with a positive attitude. Maybe putting an upbeat face on things is a collective way of showing potential backers that there's still life in the show? Or is it possible that they already know the show has been saved, and we'll get an announcement next month when filming wraps and the show 'rests'?   Does any of that make sense?!
    • A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.

    • Yeah when Jamey Giddens did breakdowns for DAYS, he would sometimes state in tweets that specific things were his idea that he had pitched to Ron.
    • I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.
    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.
