Apologies if I was unclear. The indefinite deal is the Sony deal that Corday inherited. The litigation between Corday and Sony discussed the contracts signed in 1965 regarding production and distribution of DAYS. That is the deal he inherited - it had nothing to do with him as he was a child at the time and he'd actually sought to terminate it in 2019 when Corday sued Sony claiming Sony had failed to distribute the show to the benefit of its wholly owned Y&R. That litigation did not proceed to trial.

In terms of NBC being able to move the show to Peacock, as @Broderick (hilariously) explained that was very likely a condition of renewal, full stop. It was very likely a take it or leave it deal and Sony as a distribution partner has certainly hampered Corday's ability to market and sell the show - but that's what he inherited and has had to work with from the day he took over in 1986.

I tend to agree that it seems DAYS will end at the end of its 2023 contract and may reincarnate as some kind of arc/weekly series if it's a success, but I think it's time as a daily serial will be over in 2023. 

This is why I said it has all the feelings of a 'soft cancellation'.

Please accept my apologies!! I did not realize Corday inherited all that!!! WOW! At least Ken fought. I apologize Ken for calling you a bad businessman. Thank you Ken for Days. I have Ken's book on my shelves somewhere need to read it.

 

Sounds like a take it or leave it deal and Ken wanted to save Days and all the jobs.

 

I wish DAYS would end on NBC.

 

You are a wealth of knowledge on DAYS!! (and probably daytime too!) Thank you!

What should happen is Disney/ABC, Corday Productions, SONY, the Bell Serial Company pioneer and construct an online soap streaming network. Put DAYS, Y&R, GH and B&B on there. Plus bring back AMC and OLTL. Make them all 30 minutes. And have available all the classic vintage shows. I think people would pay for that.

I'm not very optimistic of this move from NBC to Peacock. Knowing the feeling of losing a soap, I would honestly wish that Days could go out with a bang on network TV than endure this prolonged death that seems inevitable on Peacock. 

I want to be optimistic, but a soap opera, one that is on a tight budget and with lackluster storytelling is not going to be draw in anyone. I think an established soap would find it very hard to create draw in a new audience on streaming. Good luck and I hope that Days could be successful in a new platform.

I would but Soapnet did not succeed as a free cable channel (although mainly just ABC shows) and was replaced by Disney Junior.  I wish Disney plus or Hulu would put the old ABC soaps on it and NBC could put their old soaps on Peacock and old CBS soaps on Paramount Plus. Not likely though.

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Possibly.  I remember the "movie" being Jack/Jen, Bo/Carly, and John/Isabella centric.  I am assuming they are just recreating the idea of people/couples being brought together in a storm, which isn't very creative in the first place.  One Stormy Night was the worst of the 3 primetime movies too. Lol.  Fair.  Writing some press releases for her the two clients she has does not mean she can write what looked to be a 500 page novel. Stephanie spends 20 hours a day figuring out her love life anyway.

      One Stormy Night was the name of the January 1992 Days primetime episode. https://www.jason47.com/days/episodeguide1992.html From jason47 bio of Jeanne Marie Ford:  when I was in high school, my best friend got me hooked on 'Days.'  She first worked on the "Days" staff in 1992 as an unpaid intern and soon after became the show's writer's assistant from 1992-1996. https://www.jason47.com/days/writersinfo.html

      I have not been convinced any Stephanie since Shayna Rose can read.

      The throwback, and the randomness of it all has me worried that Jamey had something to do with it.

      As a PR person, she's undoubtedly written zillions of press releases and presentations, so I don't find it that much of a stretch. But it sure did come out of nowhere. I don't know if any soap has done particularly well with a book plot, though, so I'm apprehensive of where this will go.

      Reminder for Tues. May 6 and Wed. May 7: Due to UEFA European Soccer Champions League Semifinals  Y&R and B&B may be partially disrupted in some timezones, but it's not an official preemption. (Same procedure as Tues. April 29 and Wed. April 30.) This soccer coverage will be broadcast live in the European evenings, which is 3-5pm Eastern USA, plus a 2-3pm Eastern prematch show. Total timeframe: three hours 2-5pm EDT on those four dates. On CBS only. BeyondTheGates: This fully officially preempts BTG in all timezones in USA and Canada. Tues. April 29, Wed. April 30, Tues. May 6, and Wed. May 7. Link to official announcement from Errol/SON to share with friends/family: https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2025/04/beyond-the-gates-cbs-uefa-champions-league-soccer-games Errol's discussion thread: https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/68729-article-‘beyond-the-gates’-to-be-fully-preempted-due-to-cbs-coverage-of-uefa-champions-league-soccer-games/ Y&R and B&B: On the affected dates, this will partially preempt Y&R and/or B&B on CBS only in Mountain/Pacific/Alaska timezones. Because Y&R and B&B air fully in Eastern/Central time, it's not an official preemption, and those shows will be considered to have aired --  so you'd need to watch on another time/channel or online, or you'd miss it. List of alternate times/channels for Y&R and B&B here: https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/68719-btg-yr-bb-april-may-2025-soccer-disrupting-cbs-soap-broadcasts/ Y&R and B&B will air normally in Canada and Australia in all timezones.

      Stephanie writing a novel is odd.  She's never seemed interested in writing or much of a creative type.  Is One Stormy Night a nod to the primetime Days episode from the early 90's?  That would literally have nothing to do with Stephanie, nor were any of the characters featured in that special closely related to her IIRC.  Although One Stormy Night isn't a super creative title or anything, so it's probably just a coincidence.  And, yes, it was very rude for Alex to just take Stephanie's personal, private writing without asking lol.

      And its 2025, not the 1970s, 80s, 90s... just bc pre-emptions have been a thing for decades, doesn't mean there shouldnt already be ways to deal with it in the modern era. Airing th episodes in the markets that can and putting them up and directing viewers to CBS.com to see them for free and of course Paramount Plus for those subscribers, seems like a reasonable compromise. Today's tv market leans heavily towards streaming so there is no reason why they shouldnt leverage that when it comes to this
