Were Chad and Abby's wardrobe found in a back alley behind H&M? DAYS doesn't have budget for the main show, they shouldn't attempt something like this if they can't properly make it look like a professional production.

I had the first thought as others regarding the budget. The show is put together with cardboard, paperclips, and night lights as it is. WHY are they paying for this? I'd rather they put more of an effort into the actual show that's airing. Willing to bet that more than half of the regular audience will have no idea that there even is a digital series, let alone care.

Can we dare hope that in this alternate Salem, there is no blue room?

Jeez, is that Austin Peck or a high as a kite John Leguizamo?

This is smart. They should've done this ages ago. I wonder if NBC will have them develop something for their streaming service. It's shocking to me that CBS hasn't done anything with their soaps considering they have All Access.

It could very well also serve as a 'test' if you will ...

Well if this 'test' goes well, I just hope cell phones are allowed in nursing homes.

I definitely feel like this is meant to test the waters for DAYS online ... lord ... that would probably end up like Peapack where they're shooting in the studio's parking lot and surrounding woods. But honestly at this point I'd take Peapack over some of the sets we have ... lol

 

Really don't understand why Y&R and DAYS (and SONY) haven't tried to capitalize on their past and offer streaming of old episodes. I think there'd be way more interest than they would ever expect. Gotta be some reason they don't. I guess it would be expensive and they don't see the end benefit. I also think they missed the mark on DVDs. Shame they don't care about capitalizing on their shows. But that would require spending money so ... lol.

 

I feel like GL missed the mark at having a shot at online success, personally. All remaining soaps would do well, IMO. Ratings weren't the problem with AMC and OLTL online so they'd do well.

Agreed 100%.  I think the days of mass DVD compilations are already behind us, but certainly streaming options and/or rerunning them on a place like Antenna TV or some cable network would be perfect. 

 

How random it was last year in March when Bravo aired two episodes of DAYS each weekday morning at like 5am/6am, starting with September 2011 episodes. And then after three weeks, it was dropped.

I like this, great idea. It may not look all that great, but it's something they're being proactive about.

It is a good idea. I hope it's something they follow through with. Lots of possibilities here. But, you know, it's Corday and Days has no budget. So I have tepid expectations. But it is a good idea.
