It's time for Ken Coday to suck it up and beg Jim Reilly to come back and create another outlandish, buzz worthy story that will get the entire genre talking about DAYS again. And this time, let Jim Reilly do what Jim Reilly wants. Do not tie his hands again. Let him loose and go crazy.

DAYS needs huge buzz again....a kind of buzz that only the great Jim Reilly can provide.

- buried alive

- Possession

- Serial Killer

What's next?

The return of James E. Reilly to Salem in 2007. :D

The ratings are absolutely atrocious. I feel really bad for Days. The fans are tuning out by the thousands. I never would have imagined this six months ago. I'm glad B&B went up for it's 20th Anniverary episode. I'm truly loving Y&R and B&B right now. Passions is really good now too. I guess viewers don't want to get invested in a cancelled show. I'm going to be loyal for a change and stick with Passions until the end. Theses ratings are so depressing though.

If I was Ken Corday I would beg Jim Reilly to come back and say, "Hey, Jim, here's the show. You have creative control. You can blow the show up, kill whoever you want. Just get my show back up in the ratings. I want that number one spot in the 18-34 and 18-49 ratings again. This time, I won't get in your way like I did in 2004. You got the ratings up and DAYS was the talk of the industry. It was mistake to get in your way. I'm selling my soul to you. Just get my ratings up."

It happens.

Jim Reilly is back in late 2007.

In 2008, JER comes up this crazy ass storyline that makes the SSK look like child's play. Some people are upset and some are excited to watch DAYS again. DAYS is back in the 18-34, 18-49, 12-17 demos and back to #2 in HHs and Total Viewers.

Jeff Zucker is now like, "Well, we can't cancel DAYS now with ratings like this! The ratings are up, the show is profitiable again. Let's renew DAYS for another 2 years!"

All those ratings suck, save Y&R and B&B. GH is one week away from officially losing all their (huge) sweeps gains.

DAYS is free-falling, they should at least try for a month to front-burn KA/PR/DH/DH and see what happens - give it the commercials and all. If that doesn't work, Hogan needs to go because the bleeding ain't stopping. As somebody mentioned, I would have never imagined DAYS in this shape 6 months ago - everybody (including me) was expecting the show to challenge B&B. If it's a money issue they need to admit it and fix it.

I have to agree, Toups.

Corday probably couldn't afford it, but Hogan has the characters DOWN, so I say a JER head writer/Hogan, "co"-head writer (really character writer) would be the dream team.

Hogan, while a good writer, just is NOT a "Days" 'big events' writer. And that's what this show needs.

Out with him in this capacity, Cor-man!

Oh, dear lord, I hate to disagree with the great Toups but no JER back at Days. Days might be bad right now but JER's Days was a thousand times worse.

I also think no matter how high the ratings are, Days is off NBC come 2009.

Last week was nothing special.....good seeing Marlena again, but she was just supporting. We need vets beside Steve and Kayla! I know there are budget problems, and I love Steve and Kayla, but this is getting to be too much......

I am starting to get worried and my positive attitude is starting to fade a little. I am not totally down on Hogan like some, but things are not picking up.

The Shelle story needs to end. Besides the problems with the vets not being shown, this is a big problem. Shelle has been frontburner but it has just been them running around island to island. It was good at first, but now it is boring and needs to end. I'm actually curious as to how this is going to end though.....I hate to say this, but it almost seems like Hogan doesn't know what to do with this story. I know he had plans, but something changed and we also have heard no previews for Shelle ever beyond them going on the run. It's unlikely for him since he has always seemed to at least have plans, but Hogan writes fast paced story and this story has been going on for close to three months!

I don't see why people disagree with this "dream" scenario, Toups.

JER is a PROVEN hit.

Forget "Passions"' cancellation, people.

Remember the '90s, remember the SSK, which brought ratings up to a what, 4.1 high? Even if that was for one day (the high), it shows that he, unlike Hogie, can drive ratings.

There was a rewrite, too, we mustn't forget. And Corday ordered it.

Let Reilly loose on "Days" -- a show with built-in fanbase (again, that squelches the "Passions" argument), and then watch the fireworks -- and Nielsens!

If JER came back with CREATIVE CONTROL it would be like August 2003-April 2004 again, not May 2004-July 2006. I guarantee it. Daily discussion threads would go 4-5 pages long instead of 1 or 2 pages long. DAYS would be exciting to watch again.

Suck it up, Corday, put your ego aside. Sell your soul to the devil.

    • Of the so-called "contract" cast members, I'd venture to say these are recurring: Bryton James, Camryn Grimes, and (possibly) Michael Graziadei.  I've suspected since 2018 that Kate Linder and Christian LeBlanc are recurring.  And I believe we all know Miss Ordway is, because she said so. lol.  
    • Dante blaming Gio instead of his dweeb son and the other dweeb was just ridiculous. Gio's paternity story is going in circles with no reveal. I've already started fast forwarding Drew and his stupid ho Willow's story. Kristina's story is beyond dumb with no great payoff.
    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
