Prediction : Days of our Lives to move to CBS in 2010

[Darlotto99]

I belive now more then ever that Days of our Live's will on CBS in 2010 and I belive Barbra Bloom is setting the stage for the show to jump to CBS. with the cancelation of GL CBS will have the space for Corday to move Day's to CBS in ATWT spot after the B&B and ATWT will be shortend to half hour and moved to the mouring time slot. Sony already owns half of the Y&R so their is already a relationship between CBS and Sony Pictures to bring Days to CBS.

CBS Daytime in 2010 will look like this half hour of ATWT in the mourings, Y&R, B&B and Days

what you think does Barbra Bloom have her eye's on Days of our Lives?

[Rakesh]

I can totally see that happening! Days' contract with NBC is up this September and GL goes out the same month too. Like you said, Sony has a relationship with CBS and they also own rights to DOOL.

I can't imagine what fan reaction would be to having DAYS move to CBS after CBS killed GL... sheesh what a PR nightmare that would turn into. I can't imagine fans supporting CBS if that happened.

[Darlotto99]

well whats the difference with CBS canceling a drama and replacing it with another drama same thing

CBS will never take on Days of our Lives. They don't pick up other networks left overs.

Only Darlotto99 would create a thread like this....

GL doesn't have a stable timeslot, where the hell will they fit DAYS in?

[Cashton]

Interesting post! I could see it happening and CBS has taken other network shows before (primetime mostly - JAG, Family Matters) so I don't think it is beyond the realm of possibility. Also DOOL has something that CBS has longed for a long time - a very popular soap that is rooted in pop-culture and has the most devout following of any other soap, IMO.

It really could happen especially if NBC wants out of the soap biz, which it SO does!

[Darlotto99]

lol ATWT becomes a half hour soap in GL time slot and then you take Days and put it in ATWT timeslot. i guess it would depend on where you live im in Toronto and ATWT airs at 2pm so thats where Days on CBS would air.

[Soapsuds]

It will never happen. End of thread.

It will go to ABC, if anywhere..... If DAYS keeps up the ratings... it might be hard for NBC to justify shelving it.....

[rangethatrover]

Days does have a few supporters at NBC.

I don't see it being cancelled, nor do i see it being on anywhere but a network.

Just don't even think of f-cking with OLTL ABC, and you can stick Days anywhere else you like.

Provided DAYS keeps it's spot in the demos and in the households, I wouldn't be surprised if CBS or Barbara Bloom decide to replace ATWT with DAYS. Or were at least interested in it. Y&R: The More Serious Show. B&B: The Campy Sister Show to Y&R and DAYS: The Crazy Ass Show where anything could happen. B&B would be an interesting bridge between Y&R and DAYS.

Also, if SONY gets into bed with CBS(with the $25,000 Pyramid), SONY may be using that to push their way into DAYS on CBS. So they can have a monopoly on CBS lineup.

Also, one of the reasons why Pyramid is being so bandied about is that the show already has a built in name. They don't need to start from scratch with the new show, because people know the brand and are familiar with it(which is why I assume CBS/Paramount are so keen on these drama remakes for the CW). CBS may be very interested in DAYS if they can keep their numbers steady, have some sort of creative control over it, and if they can get the show for really cheap because, again, the show comes with a fanbase and a brand already instead of starting from scratch.

But it's all a moot point anyway. I worry for Y&R and B&B. I mean, they're safe for now, but what if the ratings keep dropping? Especially for B&B. A 2.4 Household? Really? The last time this happened, Brad Bell got rid of all the stuff we hated(the Marone Overload and the shipping bull) and at least made some sort of attempt to give the fans what they wanted(Brooke/Ridge's wedding, Felicia's initial return, Rick's return, etc.), while torturing us at the same time. But now, it's like the ratings are a 2.5 or 2.4, and he barely flinches.

But I'm with Y&RWorldTurner: leave it to Darlotto to make up a thread like this. Chill dude. We can't predict this [!@#$%^&*]. It will happen when it happens.

[MichaelGL]

I predict Days to be cancelled in 2010.

[Dr Neil Curtis]

Much as a love days, I dont see it on CBS. It does need to shape up and get a new writer who believes in history and family!!! Dena Higley has killed Days along with help from Ken CockDay. The young people are taking over, I am young but I want to see Calliope and Eugene, Doug and Julie, and other vets in meaningful storylines. Days is actually sucky right now with Kate trying to burst Chloe. Just tell Lucas for God's Sake: "You wife is a slut and she's been sleeping with Dr. F***-A-Lot." I could go on and on but I tell the story another day!

[JackPeyton]

Days will die on NBC, IMHO.

But the question is when.
