Members Gray Bunny Posted February 8, 2011 Members Share Posted February 8, 2011 DAYS of today resembles GL of 2005-2007. Welcome to the club, GH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted February 8, 2011 Members Share Posted February 8, 2011 Well, Days didn't do that exactly. They dumped Jack, Jennifer quit, all the Lockharts, Tek, Austin and Carrie, Nicole, and then Billie, Shawn and Belle, the 90210 guy, Steve and Kayla and finally Marlena, John and Tony. But they kept Bo, Hope, and Sami and none of those three can be too cheap. GH has to keep somebody people associate with the show. They should fire two of the four you mention I think, and retool around the other two surrounded by cheap newbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted February 8, 2011 Members Share Posted February 8, 2011 I wish DAYS' lighting was just as dark as GL's. I swear I need sunglasses to watch a scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 8, 2011 Members Share Posted February 8, 2011 At this point I'd like all four to go but I guess I can see cases for most of them staying...except Jason. He is the biggest roadblock on the show and everything is about how awesome he is and how he suffers. Any actual storylines which feature him are halting at best. Since they seem to be continuing what they started when Michael woke up and are grooming him as the new Jason, they should just write Jason out. I still think they should have some story where he suddenly snaps and goes on a rampage, and Michael has to kill him. He can also burn down the Quartermaine mansion, which would cause Edward and Monica to leave town. Tracy would stay, and I would have her steal Carly's hotel from her and run the place herself.

Members All My Shadows Posted February 8, 2011 Members Share Posted February 8, 2011 I wish it was OLTL. If they keep "coming in under budget," then ABC needs to stop giving them so much f'n money to put out bullsh!t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 8, 2011 Members Share Posted February 8, 2011 OLTL will become a family of Pintos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skiman12082004 Posted February 8, 2011 Members Share Posted February 8, 2011 I'm just glad it's not AMC. Maybe this will force GH to make some significant changes that will improve the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted February 8, 2011 Members Share Posted February 8, 2011 Oh great, the characters that I love won't get to do any window dressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dc cubs Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Alfonso, Reckell and Sweeney all took pay cuts when Days budget was slashed 40%. That is also when Days started paying much closer attention to the episode guarantees of PR and KA. Previously, it wasn't an issue if they went over guarantees as they got paid the extra money. However, now Days can't afford that and its why PR was sent on a 6 week hiatus last Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted February 8, 2011 Members Share Posted February 8, 2011 Changes, yes, improvement? Highly doubtful. It will definitely be interesting to see just how big a bloodbath occurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted February 8, 2011 Members Share Posted February 8, 2011 I'm all for giving edward and monica a proper exit rather than having them backburned to hell...but burning down the Q mansion would be wrong. They already crossed that boundry with the Webber house and it would be even worse with the Qs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 8, 2011 Members Share Posted February 8, 2011 I don't even know if it would matter at this point. The family has been effectively cut down to nothing and I'd rather see the set go than see it end up being mob central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted February 8, 2011 Members Share Posted February 8, 2011 They certainly did. In fact, everyone at the show took a pay cut. Every. Single. Actor. Including Sweeney. DAYS dropped all the dead weight, shifted the tone and focus of the show dramatically (Suzanne Rogers, for instance, became a major player) and the production model evolved, the DAYS set is dark many weeks out of the year, holidays are long and rehearsal time is nil. That being said, as a DAYS viewer, I'm happy. The show, even when it's dull, is enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MontyB Posted February 8, 2011 Members Share Posted February 8, 2011 Though I can't stand AMC, I'm glad it wasn't that show or OLTL. In fact, I don't know why anyone thought it wouldn't be GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 9, 2011 Members Share Posted February 9, 2011 I think cuz of how DC teased it out and their rep the past year for hating on AMC and seeming to relish anything negative that happens to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
