Or at most the Last Decade, I still think that if they wanted Money and Increase Peacock Subscribers all they had to do was uploading Classic Days of Our Lives Episodes 1965 - 2005 seems to raise a lot of interest, Or Episodes of The Past Soaps, Instead to save a few Pennys they're basically condemning Days

I watched Days on and off over the years. But was a AMC and OLTL viewer for decades. Good bye DAYS. I hope it does well on Peacock premium but I am not going to pay more to watch it. Not when I already have Prime, Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu and Disney+.  What I see happening is DAYS will end its run in 2023 on Peacock premium. If Days was on basic Peacock I would be more confident on its longevity. This was a business decision. Nearly 7 to 8 months of Days episodes for the 2022 to 2023 season have been filmed. The remaining costs are already budgeted for.  As for old episodes, SONY owns Days and Peacock would have to pay for those episodes and I do not think it will happen purely from a business/financial perspective.

I'll be genuinely -- and pleasantly -- shocked if we get anything resembling a full archive of classic episodes available on Peacock. Even highlights from each year would be something, but I'm dubious, especially on such short notice.

While we'd all like to see it succeed, it doesn't really make much sense to think a show that barely attracts 1.5 million daily viewers when it's completely free is somehow going to exponentially increase "paid subscriptions" to a streaming platform.   If people ain't watching for free, they're not apt to pay for the privilege.   

(Y&R's "library" is merely the current season.  You can view the past five episodes free on the CBS site, but if you'd like to watch anything else from September 2021 till now, you have to subscribe.)

what actually happened was that shortly after sft and lol premiered, irna approached pgp about moving tgl to television. according to her unfinished memoir, ‘all my worlds,’ head of pgp production, william craig rejected her idea, saying that only a serial created for television would succeed.

so irna and ted corday adapted two tgl scripts, and irna paid for the pilot out of her own pocket. the fact that the show would be available on both radio and television was a big part of why pgp agreed.

    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
    • I don't know if it was the writing or performance but I felt like we finally got to see the real Ted. Especially the way he talked to Martin when confronted, felt like a completely different person. He felt darker and like a total liar who was mad he got caught. I expected him to be remorseful and want to apologize to each and every family member who he came into contact with but he seemed like he didn't care. It completely changed how I view him and it makes me wonder if this is the direction they're going to take Ted in with the recast.
