Members BetterForgotten Posted November 12, 2019 Members Share Posted November 12, 2019 Well, this is definitely a cancellation, IMO. Who the hell does something like this? Also, the fact they're going on hiatus as well makes me think they may not even have a proper finale ala Port Charles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted November 12, 2019 Members Share Posted November 12, 2019 This is huge. Even if they get a deal, having to renegotiate the entire cast contracts is going to be difficult. Plus if filming starts in March, the entire younger cast could be booked and busy. Nobody is gonna wait until March to maybe have a job. I wouldn't be surprised if they get the renewable but we get a smaller DAYS on Peacock instead of NBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members teplin Posted November 12, 2019 Members Share Posted November 12, 2019 Jason47 posted in another thread: "If it helps any, I've heard they did similar stuff in the past for those long breaks they've taken. That contracts would lapse during the production break and people would then sign again once the show went back into production." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted November 12, 2019 Members Share Posted November 12, 2019 Isn't this similar to OLTL's email to the cast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ajsp35801 Posted November 12, 2019 Members Share Posted November 12, 2019 Just saw this on Twitter. It doesn't make financial sense to keep folks on contract for a 6 month hiatus. I hate to see it but it just doesn't. Yes, the run the risk of folks moving and not coming back. But an already limited budget show just can't pay them to do nothing.

Members LondonScribe Posted November 12, 2019 Members Share Posted November 12, 2019 Wow Please register in order to view this content Though I see the strictly business/budget sense in such a move, I agree that if the show is renewed, the cast will likely change, and how that will be explained away is an interesting question, unless, they tape a massive disaster to close up the filming this month. Also, don’t be surprised if both the production and writing teams have an axe taken to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted November 12, 2019 Members Share Posted November 12, 2019 They'll probably do the crap GL did in its later days - have a decent amount of actors on recurring and only a select few on contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted November 12, 2019 Members Share Posted November 12, 2019 Hope it works out. I know we're always talking about what a mess the show is at times but I'd hate to see it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
