DAYS: OH HELL NO!


Recommended Posts

Wow!

I guess it's easy to find any number of things to get upset with concerning soaps in this anti-soap atmosphere on network tv, but the ONLY thing I am really worried about is if Corday can get his show picked up by another network so that the great show Days of Our Lives will continue past 2009.

If that doesn't happen, then John, Marlena, Bo, Hope...none of the characters we all love will exist.

To me if the show dies after the ignominious treatment NBC has given it, then I will be upset. But not now.

Thanks. :) .

My expectations aren't low. They are high but I always think the positive needs to be reflected on too. J&M are in spoilers and that is all that matters right now after them being gone. We have no idea how anything is going to play out. All we know is a little bit and that the set is gone. That's it. Like Ponz said, Days has far bigger issues right now then a set. Delivering good stories, balance, and writing is the first and the biggest. If they do that, I would hope at the end of the day people are happy and not worried about a set. Days needs to survive and it's clear this is a budget move so, I ask everyone, what would you rather they do? Get rid of a set or get rid of a veteren cast member or two? That is the choice because Days has to survive and sacrifices will have to be made. If you don't want them to cut the cast or the sets, what are they supposed to cut? I know people will say newbies but they don't make enough and even cutting any and all newbies is not enough.

The only set I would ever get upset about is the Horton House. Now that is a staple and has been there since the beginning. We all know why we aren't seeing it now, sadly :( .

On the flip side, Corday should know better then to do something like this and not explain his reasons and calm fans' fears. He should come out in a mag and give the J&M fans hope. Hell, what Hogan do it. Someone has to because all doing it this way does is open up a can of worms, just like the comforter issue did. I can see why Corday would do it. He needs the money and was probably asked for the set, got a good deal, and took it. He just needs to reassure people and explain.

OMG YOU GUYS I KNOW! Just think - they could kill off, like EIGHT OF THEM in the most violent and corny way possible just to cut more costs like they did with the PH! And then Maggie's restaurant could be turned into a country western bar!

Well, I couldn't care less about the Penthouse. I don't really care were J&M lives. Actually I think Marlena should have moved out right after the demon stuff ended. The only set I would be a little upset if it was sold is The Pub.

It's not the penthouse per se, it's what it represents for John and Marlena and their future on the show. Obviously we wouldn't be freaking out if they just moved to a new apartment or house. It's the fact that removing their home from the show is the first sign that John and Marlena will only be used as props in other people's storylines at best.

When was the last time we saw Caroline and Shawn's home? Exactly.

AAAAAAAAAAAMEN!

Yeah, I'm happy that Deidre and Drake are in spoilers. But I've said it time and time again -- I don't want to see actors and actresses on the screen just for the sake of seeing them. I want them in GOOD story. Simply tossing them in front of the camera isn't going to impress me until they're given something to do -- something that I'm actually interested in watching.

Yup! If they don't have a home to live in, what are they going to do? Hang out at Chez Rouge... come and go from everyone else's apartments/hotel rooms/homes? What kind of story can they have that is their OWN if they don't have their own home to play it out in?

Even if they do get a new home two weeks from now, I'm still going to be completely pissed at the way it played out. Marlena just ditching it is so out of character and doesn't even make sense within context of the story! She never gave up on him... she always knew he'd wake up. Why'd she still their home?

    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
    • Why do I feel like (or remember possible

    • A number of errors in the above article. You wonder how with all that research,how  they slipped through. I think they are conflating Women Alone with Lonely Women. I have never read anything of a serial called Women Alone. However,I am prepared to be proven wrong.   It seems Irna actually WAS interested in TV soaps as witnessed by These Are My Children airing in 1949 on NBC in the early days of TV.   I don't believe that was reluctance, rather simply good business sense as radio's dominance began to wane.   Inferring that was somehow connected to Irna who was off that show 10 years prior.   Again inferring that Phillips leaving 6 years prior had some connection to the eventual cancellation.     Again these two events are in fact one. Irna left ATWT only once in 1970 and returned in 72. She was not working on another P&G show at the time. So either she brought the ratings up or they dipped, depending on which above account you believe   Untrue. A World Apart debuted 5 years after she left AW. And AWA aired longer than a few months. Over a year in fact.   I believe Orin Tovrov was the writer. Irna was not involved in the creation of this show. And no mention of Masquerade an Irna serial  which was on air around this time.   TBD finished in 1962. As we see over and over, these inaccuracies are published and accepted as fact.
    • YES! While I objectively found the writing on RH (particularly during its first few years and then again in its final days) to be excellent, so many of the principle characters were unpleasant, and totally turned me off. I could never settle down and become emotionally involved with a group of people who grated on my nerves.
    • Ugh now we get a Emmerdale and Corrie crossover soon. ugh.. How desperate 
    • This show is definitely not one to deserve the axe.  especially the New Year’s Eve episode was crazy wild! there is a place where u can download nearly all episodes from October 2019 til today. But they don’t accept new people. https://youtu.be/aD-IXEJjymU?si=19wtpwthSNYOe-4y   this is from this years winter break when the returned. I loved it
