"DAYS" WRAPS PRODUCTION, AWAITS WORD FROM NBC...

 

"Days of Our Lives" wrapped production yesterday, managing to still finish taping its season on time, even though pandemic delays caused the show to tape 112 episodes over the past 14 weeks straight without any breaks. "Days" now awaits word of a renewal from NBC.

They could have already renewed it, Maybe just decided they didn't need a big announcment or press release this year for whatever reason, They would also probably have had to tell Ron what the deal is so he could write an ending.

I trust Jason's word about Days waiting for news of a renewal. His knowledge about the show is pretty amazing. Also, I'm not sure about NBC having to telling Carlivati about its plans so that he could write an ending. That surely didn't happen with Port Charles in 2003. The show completed production at the end of its six-month taping schedule. ABC cancelled the show later, in June 2003, so Brown and Esensten never had the chance to write an ending.

Put the show out of its misery.  Ken has let Ron beat to death any semblance of true soap opera. Ron has even driven away viewers who stuck through Higley and Griffith with his insane back from the dead, assumed identities, identical not-twins, identical twins, turning everyone into a felon.  The few bright spots he ruins i.e. the Charlie character and the story they could have told with brother Tripp.  And let's not even get started on Ben and Seeearuh Alice in Wonderland/Romeo and Juliet poopoo.

They are done taping the current contract, so if and when anyone hears of the cast/crew going back into production, that would signal a renewal, whether or not NBC writes up a press release. Hopefully we will hear soon!

It's all good.   I think I understood what you meant. Perhaps the top executives at the show and NBC may already know what the decision is, but until NBC makes the announcement official and the actual contract is signed, they can't say anything.

I wonder if NBC does cancel DAYS and since Sony owns part of it, they would move to CBS in the spot of The Talk?

[dragonflies]

Doubtful that would happen

Not a chance in hell.

If anything, I could see the show canceled from broadcast NBC and moved to Peacock.

I hoping this is an annual “Plan to Save Days” with a head writer change! (Hello, Lorraine Broderick/Sherri Anderson, Bye Ron & Ben!)

[Errol]

If NBC is looking to cancel "Days of our Lives," I think we're going to start seeing news of replacements being ordered like "Guess Who?"

It's not mentioned whether the network is doing it for primetime or daytime but based on the concept it could work either way.

It looks like a Prime time game show. If days were cancelled I'd like to see a Hollywood squares redux.
