Members Aback Posted July 2, 2017 Members Share Posted July 2, 2017 From what I've seen online, DAYS used to be very glamourus back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted July 2, 2017 Members Share Posted July 2, 2017 Younger viewers may not believe it, but way back then, DAYS was very lush, romantic, sophisticated, and adult. It's sad to see how far it's fallen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aback Posted July 2, 2017 Members Share Posted July 2, 2017 I can see that from YT clips. I would have watched the show back then faithfully if I had had the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted July 2, 2017 Members Share Posted July 2, 2017 DAYS was mesmerizing between 1966 and 1976. Then when Pat Falken Smith was replaced by Ann Marcus as head writer, the bottom fell out. As bad a fit as Marcus was for the show, however, most subsequent scribes were WORSE. Every hack writer decimated the series more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aback Posted July 2, 2017 Members Share Posted July 2, 2017 Oh I thought you were referring to the early 90s being glamourus. I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted July 2, 2017 Members Share Posted July 2, 2017 Oh, it may have been in the 1990s as well, but I was referring to the show's first decade, in which it was a classic character-driven, romantic serial. It may have moved at a snail's pace, but it was so engrossing, you couldn't turn away. Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aback Posted July 2, 2017 Members Share Posted July 2, 2017 Oh sure. Bill Bell helped set it up, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted July 2, 2017 Members Share Posted July 2, 2017 Yes. He came aboard as headwriter and worked miracles on the series. He initiated the Bill/Laura/Mickey Horton saga, with the secret of Mike Horton's true paternity at its core, and that storyline played out on the show for a whopping TEN YEARS.

Members titan1978 Posted July 3, 2017 Members Share Posted July 3, 2017 The show truly did look lush and well produced in the early to mid 1990's. Truthfully, they all did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
