BLESSED VIRGIN!!

Frons gave AMC an F? Someone PLEASE! post this report! This is insane and highly inappropriate of a TV exec to bash his own shows!!!

Lol no, but I wish Frons realized it deserved an F. The person who wrote the article gave AMC an F.

I don't remember what Days got but it fared much better.

If this is true, NBC isn't gonna help Days. At all. I believe they just want Days off so they can have ANOTHER news or talk show. They might make it look like they are helping Days, and they might not even do that, but I just think they want to get rid of the last soap they have so they can finally, after over a decade, be rid of soaps. It makes me so angry and boil. They cancelled SB, the other SB (Sunset Beach), Another World, and Passions. Days is gonna get canned soon....possible even before 2009.

I am worried. Really worried. I don't think Louise or Joe are coming back now, mainly because Days is so broke.

I'm worried too. I don't wanna lose my show. I love this show so much. I just pray and keep my fingers crossed that it can sucessfully jump networks. I hope it goes to another network and does even better.......just to make NBC look stupid (which isn't hard)

Same here. I seriously fear for DAYS's future right now. I hope and pray it can be saved from NBC ASAP.

If Passions can move somewhere, then Days sure can. I hope they don't just sit back and let it die....

Well, if it's up to NBC they will.

DAYS is focusing on newer characters WAY too much IMHO. There's been too much of Chelsea, Nick, EJ, & Willow. DAYS needs a big storyline for Bo, Hope, and more airtime for Marlena & John. I think if DAYS is really in financial trouble, they should consider putting Josh Taylor(Roman), James Reynolds(Abe), Peggy McCay(Caroline) & Frank Parker(Shawn Sr) on off-contract recurring, although I really don't want them to go that route. With Judi Evans(Bonnie), Farah Fath(Mimi) & probably Noah Segan(Connor) out the door, and the recently axed Renee Jones(Lexie), who shouldn't been fired IMHO, and Rahsan Orange(Tek), DAYS should have quite a bit of money saved. I am wondering if DAYS maybe paid Mary Beth Evans(Kayla) and Stephen Nichols(Steve) too much to come back. I'm glad they're back, but if their return means the possible axing of Peter Reckell, Kristian Alfonso, Deidre Hall or Drake Hogestyn, then I'd rather they not have come back.

Frank Parker is already on recurring. All that they can do with him is just quit using him that much. The same with John Aniston.

And if the budget is that tight, I wouldn't expect too many appearances by people like the Hayes anymore - even if they are available. Even if they don't have a contract they still get big bucks for their performances because of their years with the show and in soaps.

WOW SteveFrame you're really not liking Days much with you having it ranked last among the soaps. I don't know why that surprised me

DAYS is not at its best, but if people think that it is worse than PSNS or AMC right now, then....yikes.

uM, AMC is amazing, King. What are YOU talking about?

And "Passions" has always been what it is. You either like it or don't. You can't judge it by soap standards -- it's a soap send-UP, NOT a soap.

Oh hell. Nothing is as bad as Passions. Do people realize if Hogan hadn't took over, that Chelsea would probably still be obsessing about her parents getting back together and not thinking about college? She would still be trying to break up Bope. We would probably still believe that Patrick is the father of Hope's baby and Bope would be apart. Phillip would probably still have no clue that Claire isn't his. Steve would be with Billie. EJ would be with Sami. Days is not perfect but it has come a hell of a long way since JER got the boot.

Amen!

That is pretty much how every soap is. All these problems that Days have are not exclusive to them. It's the same problems that every soap has.

Until recently it was higher. Days only dropped down that low when the show switched total focus to the newbies in January.

Me putting there is not a testament to the quality. I rank my soaps based on quality, enjoyment, balance - my enjoyment has a lot to do with it.

Sorry I just haven't been enjoying Days much lately. This week is better but I still don't enjoy it that much. Days has a lot of wonderful actors, but the ones that are being featured right now are not my favorites. I like them and realize they have fans and are good performers but it just happens right now that all my least faves are being featured a whole lot. Bo is on but I don't like his part of the story but it gets points for having him on. Patch & Kayla were not favorite characters of mine 16 years ago, and even though I respect their talent I don't like the characters. I loved Nichols on GH and loved his character. I love Evans characters on GH and ATWT, but I hate Patch & Kayla. When they get involved in more of an umbrella story I will probably like them more.

As to Passions the quality is not good and Days beats it hands down there and even beats AMC but the two things that AMC and Passions have going for them now is they entertain me. And that goes a long way.

So me putting it at #9 has very little to do with quality. If it was solely based on that DAys would be a lot higher. And probably by next week when I redo my totals it will probably move up again.
