"Tell Tom the meeting is OFF!" - As Donna glamorously stormed out of the CW offices you could tell she was reaching for some vintage Knots Landing vibes and she succeeded.

I absolutely loved this hot mess of a show. It had to be highly scripted, the acting was so arch from everyone and it was great fun to watch!

i loved this show too even with it being fake. A great group that I thought played it well. All I could think of when they were at the "CW Offices" was that they had borrowed Days' "Blue Room" concept. It did not strike me as the offices of a network executive! Not that I have ever been in an office of a network exec.

I would love for them to do a season two but i'm sure it's too much to ask. Maybe Lindsay, Chrystee, and Crystal could stay together and pitch a new version of Charlie's Angels??? Jason Shane Scott could be Charlie???? Please?.....haha

I thought the same thing - it was one of the more basic sets...er...offices...I've ever seen.

Donna has said the production company is hoping for a season 2 - I know I sure am, it was a hot mess that never failed to entertain me. I want to see more Dame Joan Collins, more Lorenzo Lamas, let's get a cameo from Joan Van Ark confronting one of the young ones...let's have someone end up in a pool - this show can go anywhere.

I sort of tuned out for the bulk of the season but I did catch the finale and was highly entertained. It's a very entertaining little show. I hope there is a season two. Donna Mills just gives me life. I loved her "oh [!@#$%^&*]". Perfect.

I watched the finale y'all must really be yearning for a soap fix Cruz outside of Donna these bitches were boring and their acting was horrible both as themselves and for that demo reel. Ratings must've been garbage since they didn't even get a proper finale.

The finale was filmed before it even premiered I believe.

I thought it was great. A traditional soap opera cliffhanger! Donna was definitively Abby-ing it up. The CW office was hilariously bad - it really did look like a Days of our Lives set.

The whole season was so cheesy. The ending with Vanessa telling the girls about Donna's meeting was ridiculous. She didn't care one bit about it yet she was told by the CW and blabbed it to them.

    • Per Flixpatrol, it's been at 4-4-5 (June 3rd to 5th).   https://flixpatrol.com/title/days-of-our-lives/
    • Someone has been posted episodes from 1994 and Jill Powell (Marcy Lafferty) has a hot storyline right now. Just googled her and in real-life she is now openly out as a Lesbian with a transgender son. 
    • Did anyone else notice that DAYS has not been in the Top 10 most streamed shows on Peacock this week??? I find that very strange considering how good the show has been, especially this week.
    • Cast changes in 2025 (so far, not much has happened): GZSZ Pauline Afaja (Flo Kästner) departed on March 10th, 2025. She had only been on the show for about a year. Flo as a character never really clicked with the audience. Her final storyline involved her catching feelings for the much older Nina Reichelt Klee Ahrens Navarro out of the blue – while she was in a relationship with the wheelchair-bound Jonas Seefeld. Onno Buß joined the cast as Julian Kaltenbach on January 31st, 2025. Julian is Matilda's twin brother ... and another illegitimate child of Jo Gerner. Charlott Reschke, who had played Johanna Flemming on a recurring basis from 2015 to 2024, returned at the end of May. The 20-year old actress has now been placed on contract. Last week on GZSZ:

    • GH on Hulu, their Top 15 list, now for the second consecutive day ... #1.
    • From PKWaddle, ex-soap journo & fan & one known only to give good intel, in a post on my FB soap group: #1 Peacock shows 10 of the past 12 weeks DAYS in their TOP 3. #2 DAYS is now more ahead, currently at 10 months & 1 week.
    • Just a little nod, Today would've been Bill Hayes 100th Birthday! He was almost the first Centenarian On A Soap
    • Kevin Kline's description of soap fans makes me laugh.

    • Not to ramble too far off topic but it happens a lot with comics too, especially only wanting to keep cheap talent around and pushing out creative voices. There are some patches where creatives can go to start their own worlds...wish that was true with soaps, but who knows, maybe it can happen someday. I never thought we'd get a new soap this year.
    • Very true & also at least in the case of stand-out HWs, it is fraught with exhaustion & burnout.
