DAYS: OH HELL NO!


Recommended Posts

Not the penthouse! :(:angry: I loved that set. It was so nice.

I do understand where Kenny is going with the prediction of things to come with the loss of the penthouse. Why did it have to be John and Marlena's home? We're talking about two very popular people, with rabid fanbasese, who have gotten sh*t on for the past several years. Why couldn't Corday sell Bo and Hope's house, or the loft? I know exactly why. Bo, Hope, Shawn and Belle obviously have a future on this show since we see them the most. I could see where a J&M fan would be concerned. I see Corday saying that since John and Marlena won't be frontburner anymore, there is no need for their home. And that sucks.

Exactly. It's not so much the set itself, although that is a loss, sadly, being one of the few nice sets left on this show. The anger comes from what selling the set means for John and Marlena. Why wouldn't they sell Max's garage? Jack and Jennifer's old house? The Cheatin' Heart? The Lockhart house? They sold John and Marlena's home for a reason -- because they didn't plan to get much use out of it. 1 + 1 = 2.

I just don't get why the set had to be sold in the first place? The set the show uses now used to be a GH set. GH is set in Los Angeles, the same as DAYS. Why couldn't the show still taped there with the aspiring DAYS actors acting on the GH set. Is it really that difficult? Is it even legal? I don't know how much a show has the rights to. It just seems pretty pointless and pety to me. Unless Y&R follows the other SoapNet line up and does a season next year, I can't see the show continuing on unless they start over again with GH. If that's the case, maybe we will get the penthouse back. I can hope. :)

No. Not you. It's more or less SC and the rabid fanbasers. I just think this is no big deal and I didn't want to go on a long rant about things like this.

I don't see how this means less J&M. If Corday heard the cries about Bope and we are seeing them more, then he heard the cries about J&M. Once again, alot of overreaction without watching the show first and then seeing. I know Corday lies and the show burns fans alot but the show has it's back against the wall so I tend to think that may push them to actually start doing at least some of the things the fans want.

Jack and Jennifer's house isn't even seen anymore. I thought for sure the show would put Steve and Kayla in there. I know I did on my blog. They seriously have done nothing with that set. The same thing can be said for the Lockhart house. Why the penthouse? Why, Corday? Why?

Oh, if worse really came to worse and the show was forced to get rid of the majority of their sets, I'd understand.

Under these circumstances, though? Selling the decent sets and the characters homes while continually adding newbies every single day and paying them big bucks to add NOTHING to the show? It's stupid. All familiarity is going out the window, IMO.

A "true fan" of the show doesn't sit back and go along with every foolish decision... they want it to be the best it can be. Personally, my idea of Days at its best doesn't involve newbies shoved down my throat on miniature AMC-esque sets.

Well, let's see...J&J's house has not been seen since September so maybe they already sold it. Same goes for The Cheatin Heart, which hasn't been shown in ages, and the Lockhart house, which has been gone since March. Maybe IWTBASS wanted the set and gave Corday an offer and he took it because he needed the money. This doesn't meant J&M are going to be limited in any capacity. I think until we learn something concrete all we have is speculation and overreaction and the show has seen enough of that in 2007 to last a lifetime IMO.

Huh. It's certainly not a venomous post. I only stated my opinion which is that I don't like John and Marlena and I never will so it's nice when they're not on my screen so if they disappeared forever it would be fine with me.

Sorry, but my fellow Days fans can never be happy about anything it seems. You want vets to be used. They are finally and will continue to be. John and Marlena are going to be ON AGAIN. Are you NOT realizing that? Focus on THAT. It's good news! For the love of everything daytime, get off of the set thing. If selling sets to maintain the budget, and in turn, keep the show on the air and cost efficient, has to happen. LET IT. Stop beating a dead horse.

Shortly before JER returned in 2003, there was a report in some magazine, and I believe that Deidre Hall said something about Corday coming to her and telling her that John and Marlena were going to be on the backburner "indefinitely" because focus groups have shown that the 'desired viewer' is no longer interested in John and Marlena.

The man can say whatever he wants and make as many promises as he wishes... I don't believe a word he says until I see his promises come to fruition with my very own eyes. Thus far, that hasn't happened, and so as far as I know, John and Marlena are still backburnered and will continue to be until 2009, when the show is cancelled.

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
