NBC Secretly Producing New Daytime Entertainment Show

Here's a link to a blog regarding NBC/Universal acquiring the domain freshsqueezed.tv .

An anonomous source(probably someone who works at a local affiliate) speculated that NBC wil either put the show in syndication or replace DAYS with it sometime before the Olympics in 2008, so the show premieres in the fall.

If you ask me, I think NBC will want to put this show on the lineup as soon as possible. Knowing the show has already been developed(with a specific internet domain name registered), it's hard to imagine why NBC would sit on this.

And it's interesting that they are developing this show "In Secret," which leads me to believe they don't want to piss off DAYS fans or have affiliates running out trying to replace DAYS with something syndicated, because its already in the can.

Wouldn't surprise me if NBC tried to buy out DAYS's contract and lets it go.

F_CK NBC, they don't deserve DAYS.

I think CBS Corp. just should pick it up and they could air it on The CW during the day and then at 7:00 during the weeknights right before their primetime lineup. It could prove to be a strong lead-in for shows like 7th Heaven, Smallville/Supernatural (The Jensen/Eric Brady connection), Gilmore Girls & co. Gilmore Girls could even discuss a Days related storyline like they did when the show first began and Lorelai was talking about how Lucky's hair is so much longer when he returned from the dead on GH.

If done right, The CW could air a number of CBS daytime promos during DAYS. They could first air it at 4pm whenever the CBS lineup is done. If SOAPnet's "General Hospital: Night Shift" works out, they could even develop a vehicle around for DAYS, like what another poster said "Nights of our Lives" and it would get more ratings since it is not cable.

The news is a reality soap opera. Honestly.

The news is a 'continuing drama' that the networks get to produce for FREE. No actors to pay, no huge sets to build. Just two anchors, sitting in front of a camera, reporting the continuing drama.

"TODAY! Anna Nicole has died... who is the father of her child? Who will get the money? Was it murder?! Tune in tomorrow! Meanwhile, a deadly tsunami is headed towards the coast of Japan... will it strike? How many will die? Stay tuned! Sylvia Browne -- psychic, or quack? Tune in tomorrow as her lies are exposed for the world to see! THIS WEEK, only on... THE NEWS."

Seriously. The news is its own reality soap opera. The networks see it as the new form of 'entertainment,' and it costs pocket change to produce.

It's sad, but true.

Are they being secretive about this so that Corday has no TIME to make a deal with another network?!

They don't want Days, but they don't want another network to have it an flourish, either. They don't want to look like idiots, so they're keeping it on the downlow.

ASSHOLES!

    • "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.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
