All: character may be killed off


Recommended Posts

Two years?  Please.  As soon as Ken Corday returns from the golf pro shop, he'll be on the phone w/ Ron and Sony, wondering if they could fix it in the next batch of scripts.

If anything, I'd want Lorraine Broderick to handle Abby's (inevitable) return.  She proved at the end of AMC's network run that she could do zombie resurrections like no other.

Exactly, lol.

Frankly, I wish Abby's death WOULD stick.  Regardless of her status as a "legacy heroine" -- which is a term I hate, by the way! -- she's yet one more character who had potential but who was ruined by the kind of atrocious, logic-defying storytelling that has visited just about everyone on the show and that no character can truly come back from.  In fact, DAYS could kill off everyone at this point, and I wouldn't care.  This show is just absolute trash.

Aww, sookie-sookie now!

A bisexual?  On a daytime soap opera?  In the U.S.?  Surely, you jest!

If they go there... I agree. They have to start sticking to their guns, but the issue is that if the show goes on for another five years there's about zero percent chance they will, especially if Miller or Mansi suddenly needs some pocket change. So it's pretty dumb of Ron to go there, especially as one of the first thing he had to do was resurrect a legacy character that was killed off for short term thrills.

Agreed, can live with this, IF TRUE, since the show can't or won't write for Ben & Ciara and always have them in or on that damn bed.

Will say, if Abigail is killed off, I'm done with DAYS!

AGREE 100 BILLION PERCENT!

 

Also, how can we trust KL? Who or what are they?

What would it take for death to matter on Days again? I assume any character death is just an opportunity for the actor to book another role, go on vacation or take a nap. Yes, the other soaps are bad about back from the dead plots but Days treats death like a minor inconvenience.

So our best guesses are two young mothers. Just write them off for God's sake. And I don't even like Maxie. I think she's completely spent as a character and should be written off for at least 5 years. But to kill her? These people are so shortsighted.

Also Felicia doesn't need two dead daughters. That's sick.

Yeah, a death on DAYS isn’t worth much consideration based on recent experience (which is one reason why the show feels so frivolous). I know Paige’s death has stuck, but that’s a rare exception that could easily be undone per the show’s inconsistent rules.

GH is much more prone to letting deaths stick. I agree on Maxie. But these shows will always go for the big gesture that will win them a short-term viewership boost that will please the bosses or an Emmy here or there. It would also seem silly to bring Felicia/KW back on contract for that.

Yeah, no one is in the mood to watch Felicia grieve for 6 months. Especially a character like her who's been so in and out of the show the last 20 years.

If Ron got some bright idea involving bringing JJ back they would 100% reverse her death. That show does not care about death at all, it's like a cartoon.

I guess to Ron's credit he's stuck to his deaths (that weren't obviously set up as "fake" deaths like Ciara's) so far, noteably Adrienne and Laura. On the other hand, we know he didn't want to do the devil story and Corday still pushed that so if Corday has a whim everyone and anyone will be revived.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: DAYS has irreparably destroyed viewers' trust.  Audiences can no longer take seriously anything that happens on the show.  To me, that's death.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.

    • I stopped watching Another World in 1990. Simply, lost interest in the show.  I had watched the show from 1973 to 1990. The 90 minute show started the decline of AW.  NBC panicked with expanding AW due to the GH hoopla. As mentioned above, 1982 was a trainwreck for AW.  The introduction of the Shea family, the movie storyline involving Jamie, and Steve Frame favoring Rachel over Alice. The writers went into that direction due to the forgettable performance of Linda Borgeson.

    • Ive seen that theory thrown out but the one thing against it is that Leslie and her family lived in Chicago. She only came back to DC last year after her husband died. Unless they say Alan made a trip to DC and died while away, she wouldnt know about that. However I do think the angle of her finding out that Martin was involved could work as that gives her leverage against Bill too for covering it up. She'd want to get revenge on him by threatening to have him disbarred
    • What a good write-up @Errol! Nice seeing the nod to Duplaix's lead.
    • The Egypt location shoot was cancelled because of the Achille Lauro cruise ship hijacking
