Agreed. This cast deserves so much better than it's getting right now. I know I've said it 500 times on here, but what this show needs is a clean sweep from top to bottom. Out with the new and in with the old.

If NBC did that (and I know there are no guarantees) maybe longtime viewers like myself and others would return. But Tomlin thinks we're [!@#$%^&*] anyway, so why bother.

Honestly DAYS is heading into their 50th year and it deserves better writers. Tomlin and Whitesell have been at the helm 2 and half years as has Lisa DeCazotte as co exec for almost 3. They have had a run but so far the show is dull with too many new actors and it's filmed way too ahead I know it's too keep budget down but then u can't change anything if it's not working. Even Lorraine Broderick and Richard Culliton as co head writers would be good.

I believe the production schedule is far more too blame than anything else. Unlike other shows (take Y&R/B&B), if a story is unexpectedly resonating with the audience, they can quickly adjust and bring that story forward in pretty short order by picking it back up in just a few weeks (same goes for bad stories - can wrap up, adjust or move on). DAYS does not have that option at all - by the time stuff airs - it's too late to adjust. In fact, in some cases, the actors have already been let go, etc. They are guessing what the audience works and right now, they are so off. It's a shame, really.

Again what DAYS are exciting writers that want to do things well. Core characters the audience wants to see. Sami and Kristen are huge losses for the show.I would hope SONY and Steve Kent step in and really shake up the show. I think they are nervous a repeat of 2011 will happen.

    • Agree. The catfights at the clothing store alone...lol.   That's how I feel about Teresa as well. Cheryl I feel seems to blend much better with Sara's breakdowns, but I definitely love her dialogue no matter who she is with. 
    • Episode #62 Thurs May 29 US, Dani arrived at the bar at closing time and used her Dupree name to request that the bartender serve her even though it was past closing time.  Then Doug walked in and Dani convinced the bartender to serve him too.  They were both drowning their sorrows, and the scene switched to Vanessa/Joey having sex on the card table. Then no followup.  Did Dani and Doug talk? Or... ? Where did Doug go? When the next episode started, it was the next day and Dani was meeting with Pamela, and Pamela arranged for some hot guy to date Dani, but Dani wasn't interested. 
    • So I'm seeing cuz the catch-up has been brutal. All I can do (besides look at fashion) is smh. 
    • Wow. What an episode. Deidre truly broke my heart today. Not much else to say. Just an incredible love story ending.    I’m amazed they couldn’t or didn’t try go get either Claire actress while both of her grandfathers are on death’s door. Hope sensing John had passed was a nice heartbreaking touch. The rest of the week is going to be so hard.
    • -- The fashions are at least something to talk about, because we're definitely not getting any story. I mean, this stuff is dreadful. -- I do like how they're dressing Nikki. Its hugely different from before, but I'll take it. -- At least she doesn't look like Ashley, who's dressed like a clinically-depressed Cruella DeVille. -- Nick without a jacket just looks odd. -- I see Mark Grossman again gained about 15 lbs. when he was away on vacation. The sharp cheekbones are gone and the double chin is back. Hate to be mean, but I hope he loses the weight. -- All that talk about all Claire did to plan that "party." Excuse me? There's nothing go on, and outside of some tacky Happy Birthday signage and tablecloths from Kohls, I don't know what they're talking about.

A huge help that is much appreciated. 
    • You're right, but that also sums up why the show is so unwatchable these days. Any character could go on a Postal-style rampage and it would generate a shrug.
    • I'd be surprised if it was. Money is money. And yeah, Kathy's done all those things but tbh given the current tally for ruinous character choices in EE in recent years I'm kind of numb to it and find hers small potatoes by comparison.
