Members Mr. Brightside Posted December 12, 2005 Members Share Posted December 12, 2005 Nothing really new eh? I just think SoapCentral is adding their own "spin"...I think its just media hype! But, I think DAYS has a better chance at staying than Passions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Drew Posted December 12, 2005 Members Share Posted December 12, 2005 soapcentral has no sources of its own, so they've needed to make a story basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted December 12, 2005 Members Share Posted December 12, 2005 Sigh.. not your fault, Mitch, but must we really go through this again? DAYS is fine for the next few months. Passions is, too, and I personally think SciFi getting reruns has only helped matters. Days also has SOAPnet going for it, so... NBC would be idiots to lose their two daytime dramas. So, must we rehash this all over again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted December 12, 2005 Members Share Posted December 12, 2005 Would NBC just throw in the towel on its daytime line up just like that? DAYS has rebounded this year in that ever important 18-49 demo and now is consistently finishing 2nd of tying for 1st place.... Passions continues to bring in along with DAYS good 18-34 numbers and the teen girls demo.... I dunno Passions maybe but I'd like to think DAYS is safe. I have no use for either show but I know these shows have very loyal followings and a very vocal fanbase here on these boards (at least DAYS does) so it is always a shame when cancellation rumours pop up.... Its kind of a sad thought to think by this time 2 years from now DAYS, Passions, GL and possibly ATWT could all be off the air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitchapalooza Posted December 12, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 12, 2005 Thats a very sad thought indeed. Can you imagine 4 shows off the air in 2 years, that is MAJOR. The remaing 5 would die off in the 5-7 years following. Lets hope NBC honours their contract with DAYS for the remainder, I really hope they hold on to it, in the meantime DAYS still has 3 more months of ratings to keep inching up those numbers, lets hope they break back into the 3.0's in HH, that would put DAYS above their averages the last time they were in negotiations with NBC.

Members KLN Posted December 12, 2005 Members Share Posted December 12, 2005 Hell, I could see OLTL joining that list, too. As hard as it to think of these shows, which have been around for years and years and years, coming to a sudden and abrupt end in the next few years, it's entirely possible. Viewers just won't see it coming, I don't think. For shows that have sustained this long, you almost expect to see warning sirens and buzzers going off to precede the announcement, but it always seems to come out of nowhere... such and such show is cancelled, last airdate six months from now. No real warning, despite the constant worries. If this happens, it would leave only Y&R, B&B, AMC and GL. For daytime, that's nada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitchapalooza Posted December 12, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 12, 2005 If 4 go in the next 2 years, it will be a quick end to daytime. I can't see daytime drama continuing for awhile with only 4 or 5 soaps left on the air, I think all networks will eventually just give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted December 12, 2005 Members Share Posted December 12, 2005 Yup. And Soap Opera Digest will be scaled down to a six page magazine, LoL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chanel Posted December 12, 2005 Members Share Posted December 12, 2005 This is getting really old, I am just going to sit back and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members David_Vickers Posted December 12, 2005 Members Share Posted December 12, 2005 More total B.S.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAYS OF OUR LIVES is NOT being canceled. ATWT is NOT being canceled either. GL possibly in a year or so. PASSIONS possibly, but the ratings for the younger crowd is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted December 13, 2005 Members Share Posted December 13, 2005 I don't see daytime ending. There will be less choices, yes. But daytime has always survived. Take a look at game shows. Syndie champs WHEEL OF FORTUNE and JEOPARDY were the only two game shows worth watching in the mid-to-late 90's. Thanks to GSN(who, BTW, has promised a revisit to game shows instead of reality shows) and WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE?, game shows continue to exist. I see a world with Y&R, B&B, AMC, and GH existing. Those are four soaps. I see them probably all getting rebroadcasted on SOAPnet or even moving to SOAPnet if enough households get the channel within the next three to five years. There will ALWAYS be new soaps, ALWAYS be an interest. Even if the soaps aren't packaged in the way we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shawn Posted December 13, 2005 Members Share Posted December 13, 2005 Actually NBC already displayed their idiocy when they cancelled Another World, so I wouldn't put it past them, in all honesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dawn9476 Posted December 13, 2005 Members Share Posted December 13, 2005 SoapCentral just took what they read online and in SOD about Days and Passions and posted it in their own articles. They reported nothing new. Just stuff we already have heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
