True. 

 

I just don't see the point of Corday doing another 'save DAYS' interview. It's all bullsh-t. The show will be good for about 2-3 months and then revert back to the usual, boring drivel. 

 

I truly wish NBC would put DAYS out of its misery. Then Corday's goofy ass will no longer demolish his parents' legacy.

If Corday wanted to restore the family legacy he would convince Sony to allow us to see classic Days somehow depending on how well stored they were. I know they kept the episodes from the beginning, but there is no guarantee that some of the tapes weren't damaged in the decades they've been in storage gathering the proverbial dust.

Yeah, but seems incapable of figuring out whose fault that is. Throwing JG under the bus again to prop up his boo Dena.

I honestly think this article was simply a slightly-reworded composite of the last four "PTSD" (hah!) articles, with a quotation someone misattributed to Ken taken from Jamey Giddens during a DC podcast about Josh Griffith watching too much True Detective. That was literally the only piece of that article that didn't sound canned.

I wish I had an archive of all the Plans to Save DAYS! I bet all of say basically the same thing: return to romance, fan favorites, family, intrigue, stories that will engage excite and please our fans! 

I only wish P&G spent 1/4 the time trying revamp save shows like AW, ATWT and GL that Sony has invested in DAYS. Don't get me wrong, I want DAYS to suceed - but we've been through this so many times and it's good for a few weeks and back to blech - except for the Kristen era.

This is funny. Last year he said this about the January material.

 

Yeah Ciara's rape happened in like mid February. I think that was around the time Dena went on her LOA, everything after was Josh. I thought Josh and Dena were decent together last fall (but alot of wasted potential), but from December and going forward the show only got worse and worse.

Someone needs to do a damn scrapbook of all these "PLAN TO SAVE DAYS" stories.

 

I bet it would be more entertaining than the show itself. In fact, just do a  reality show about behind the scenes of DAYS, that'd be a ratings smash. They could air the show itself on AOL or something.

Agreed!  And the thing is I like the character of Rafe, but I think they are just trying to hard to make him this leading man that he is not.  It's not the actors fault, but it is the writers past and present, moreso present!  The character has had potential to be great but writers have failed him by not putting him in a strong solid romance of his own.  NOT pairing him with Hope, IMO!  Hope and Rafe DON'T work!  They are better as friends.  There were many opportunities to really push him as a romantic leading man with adventure and danger.  Pairing him with a new character or new leading lady to help add to DAYS history would've been awesome.  I still say they missed the boat with Lani and Rafe pairing.  I think they would have been a great pair given both cops, her being Abe's daughter, going on police cases/assignments, etc.  Instead, they tried to push a Lani/Shawn/Belle/Philiip quadrangle.  Now the idea of that wasn't bad becuase Shawn and Belle were having marital problems.  So them entertaining other people was okay.  However, it should've been Lani and Rafe slowing getting to know each other and experiencing troubling situations leading to growing feelings and a slow building attraction to romance.  Just my opinion.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse
