With DAYS being renewed expect a HUGE Budget Cut.

Good, but I don't trust NBC. Didn't they cancel Passions a few months after they claimed it was renewed or something? Anyway, I hope the show can turn itself around, if it should go off the air in 2011. We don't need to see any soaps being canceled, especially not now.

Let me quote myself here because I want people to hear this and I am an egomaniac:

Frankly, I say give the show to Michael Malone. Malone is a great writer who often fails without safeties in place, but even without any safeties, at his most OTT on OLTL or AW (Mitch, ghosts, cursed diamonds, dreams, psychic powers, cursed mummies, etc), he is still more down to earth and family oriented than any other Days writer in over ten years. He could provide a mix of whimsical fantasy, operatic action and intrigue, and family drama and make people who watch Days for any and all of those happy. His plotting for OLTL in 2003 and 2004, while wretched for us OLTL fans, would have worked well at DAYS IMO.

Yay!!!!!!

I absolutely knew that it would.

Even during Days' slump periods it's still the best daytime soap ever.

People love it.

It'll get picked up again by the network in 2011 too.

According to Nelson Branco, a spokesperson from DAYS had "no comment" regarding this. Take it for what it's worth.
