Days: Without A Studio?


Recommended Posts

  • Members

So awhile back it was reported that NBC sold its burbank lot, where they taped AH, Ellen, The Tonight Show, and DAYS...

they moved to Universal Backlot and built sets for Tonight, Ellen, and AH, but not Days.

NBC just had a backlot sale to get rid of stuff as i think they make the full move this fall.

Now question is... what is Days gonna do? Is it moving? Is NBC renting out the studio space now that they no longer own it?

Anyone know?

Oh, you are right i FORGOT all about jey leno keeping his show.

I would be shcoked if they moved to radford seing as the selling of the studio was because of the NBC/universal merger.

Its been simi gone forever, all thats left is the jewlery shop/movie theater/balistix/java cafe exteriror as its what leads you into the nbc studio spaces.

they dont tape anymore out there because of all the construction. no way to block it all out, soun and volume all.

I loved that set.

Part of it was moved inside for a bit.

The Ellen Show is taping at Warner Bros. Studios.

The Tonight Show will be taping from the new studio facilities in Universal City.

If DAYS doesn't or can't lease their stage from the lot's new owners, The West Coast News Headquarters -- who will be setting up shop in 2011 (kind of the way General Hospital stayed at their homebase even though the lot went from ABC Television Center to the Prospect Studios in 2002), DAYS will probably go to the Universal lot as well, or to another studio facility all together. You have to remember, daytime sets aren't permanent. They are stored in a warehouse and shipped in. So all because the production will move to a new studio, the sets will probably be the same. It's all about where they can get the best lease per square footage.

when i toured the set last year it was noticed that DAYS has the biggest set storage in all soaps. they take up the majority of Burbank studios so i cant see them moving right away. they were even running out of storage areas and had to sell and demolish sets.

Awww you're welcome! Believe me, I'm a studio facilities geek. Aside from writing, that's my next craze. I love researching studios. ATWT fans should know that The Cosby Show taped from that same studio in Brooklyn during the first and second seasons before moving to Kaufman Astoria in Queens -- where Sesame Street is, now, also taped. Kelly Ripa's sitcom, Hope and Faith taped at Silver Cup in Long Island City, NY -- which is the same studio lot where Britney and Madonna filmed their music video... and to bring this full circle, Silver Cup Studios in Long Island City is allegedly the same studios where Joey Tribbiani of "Friends" worked at when he was starring on DAYS... which was actually taped at NBC in Burbank... a couple miles away from Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, where "Friends" was filmed. Trippy, huh?

    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
