If SNL ends with a retirement of Lorne Michaels that is fine supposedly SNL was one of the most popular things on Peacock as they have back catalog. 
 

I can see local stations being upset as they will get the irate calls when Days stops airing on their affiliate in September.

Well when you keep Carlivati and throw Giddens into the mix, Days was bound to fail. Time will tell but a 5 day a week soap streaming is new territory. I'm doubtful that Days will last much beyond what is already contractually negotiated. My guess is that Days will eventually become an occasional Beyond Salem 5 episode arc a couple times a year.

I am kind of in favor of SNL ending when Lorne goes.  I cannot think of anyone that would be named his successor that would have the same clout with the network executives to keep the show as it always has been.  And I fear that interference will change the show in a fundamental way.  Lorne has kept the wolves at bay for decades.

Ok, With Whom we have to Speak? Leave DOOL on NBC and get Rich with Classic Episodes!!!!!!!!!!!! Please Since the success of The Doctors on Streaming The Right owners should have known Better than keeping things Hidden, I'm pretty sure a Streaming with Any Soap Episodes over 20 years old would be very successful!!!!!!!!

The SNL episodes on there are hacked to bits, although I guess that doesn't matter to everyone. At one point Lorne said he wanted SNL to go on without him, but then Kenan Thompson went out and very heavy-handedly suggested SNL should end when he retires, so who knows what they are planning now. I hope NBC will try at least one season without him as I don't think the show needs to shut down just because his ego isn't there.

As for this news, I'm astonished. There seemed to be zero notice. A nearly 60 year old show just dumped from the network. Many of the viewers will not be going to Peacock. Is this just a way for them to kill the show off without getting as much backlash? 

This is on paper something that could keep the genre going, but when you have one of the WORST HEADWRITERS OF ALL TIME there, it's difficult to be optimistic.

Still, if any show can survive into a new era it's DAYS, I suppose.

The show has been under strict network  control before (especially in the mid-late '90s) and it benefited them in some ways as Lorne has a lot of bad habits. There are plenty who  could replace him, including some who now work there under him. The show, if it stays on, is likely going to face big budget cuts either way, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. 

With that said, this DAYS news makes that seem less likely...

I'd be interested to know from those on this board how many watch it live with commercials versus watching it on cable streaming or DVR?

There seems to be a dedicated few that watch it live daily and then post here.

However, I've not watched a soap live since the Reagan administration (since we're also admitting our age).

So, except for the fee, it seems like the same viewing experience to me whether it is streamed on nbc.com or Peacock.  And I'd rather pay $5-$15 for a couple of streaming services then $95 for a whole cable package with a with a bunch of sports that I don't watch.

I don't watch any soap live on TV unless I come across it if I left the TV running in the background. I mostly watch the shows online through streaming websites or apps on TV/phone. Watch at my own pace and decide which episodes.

      Where to for Dana? She's pissed off the Duprees (most of the cast), alienated her daughter and will she be welcomed by the Have Nots at the diner? Maybe she can befriend Ashley and Derek and liven up their story.

      I think of Evan as a smarmy bast*rd. Maybe you'll like that description. You certainly have him pegged correctly since he is just a soldier following "Admiral" Iris's marching orders.

      So far the only interest I've seen from Evan to Amanda has been listening to Iris's orders to go and seduce her.  So far he hasn't been successful... but who knows. Amanda is unbearable at times. Entitled, spoiled... idiotic. Iris... so blatantly manipulating her and Amanda takes the bait. But I guess... when she gets in trouble... she'll have a chance to learn. That's what makes these shows so interesting.    Oh, no, don't worry. You haven't ruined a thing. Evan has not been on my radar that much... he was not one of the characters I was caring particularly... so nothing much has been changed for me. I don't think he has the stuff to ruin Rachel's life. He's just a pretty guy that can follow orders. Iris on the other hand... is dangerous.

        P.S Maybe Evan will surprise me. Who knows.

      The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.

      So very glad to hear this. Yesterday I suddenly thought; OMG, what about spoilers, have I just  ruined things for Maxim in getting carried away with interest in Evan, who was so well-written & well-acted. BTW, your fan review of this episode was a sight for eyes that had not seen one of these for a little bit too long, LOL!!!  Mitch is also fascinating to me but in his case it's because he was all in with Janice & her nefarious plan & then he did this turnabout we've mentioned & he basically got off scot-free.

      It does seem cheap and lazy for this show to have just one family. Passions was heavily criticized but it was nicely structured with a total of four families.

      I think it was definitely a surprising reveal in the storyline. I had a hard time appreciating Evan because I couldn't get behind his interest in Amanda. But that's because I never thought Sandra Ferguson made her a compelling character (although to give her credit she occasionally had decent emotional scenes with Mac or Rachel).

      I'll even go further... I'll make her re-think BeLief and create a new patent. Brooke needs stuff to do. Anything other than beg or be in her panties. We need her to be creative. But sadly Bradley has a very low opinion of these characters. To him Brooke is nothing more than sex and scandal... or a pathetic doormat. Ridge is nothing more than a chauvinist pig that needs to pit women against each other to feel like A MAN and Steffy is nothing more than her father's guard-dog. I don't even want to open my mouth about Hope. She is such a fiasco in my opinion... I will not suffer if they kill her off. Bradley pooped on her character and now it's too late to fix it. Annika is great and I would hate to see her go, but slutty Hope was not her thing. The vibe was missing.

      I've seen Jason interact with Mitch and annoy him. That's as far as I recall. I didn't even have a slight idea that Evan had a vendetta against Rachel... That came as a surprise to me. I thought Evan was Iris's dog and that's it. Now he's definitely more interesting.
