Hopefully he's sweating his stinky underwear.

  He'll be out of job sooner or later. I'm sure his gay pal FV will hire him back.

For as bad as things might have gotten for Days and even GH, I think they deserve more of a shot, then the Bell Soaps do....But as someone said, B&B is never gonna be booted off network TV because of Thudley and his protective international shield. 

I just can't believe after 70 plus year only two major Networks will be even airing soaps...

I actually think all soaps need to either cut back in episode count or all resort back to 30 minutes. This would result in the storytelling becoming tighter and fat being trimmed. 

 

Days might need to do both on Peacock and be 3 days a week with them being 30 minute episodes. That might make it last longer on Peacock.

Corday and Carlivati torpedoed Days and sealed its fate.

Ron laughing and blowing off fans who didn't like his writing and telling them to get over it because it wasn't real was really disgusting!

I agree with what's been said. For DAYS to survive on Peacock, it needs to fire all the writers and switch to being at least PG-13. What they are producing for NBC broadcast just isn't good enough to go behind a pay wall. If they are forced to air what has been shot so far as is, they will be done. 

This is such a short sighted, stupid decision. They couldn't have waited a year,  or given the show and audience more of a heads-up? It's like canceling a show mid season and burning off the unaired episodes in the summer, except here they have 8 months of poor episodes to burn through online.

And when this idea inevitably fails, there'll no going back; there's no way to restore DAYS to the NBC schedule once these affiliates move on. The show is going to be canceled. Again, with the speed and lack of planning, this is a true bone headed decision.

I’m no fan of RC, but the fact that the struggling Peacock is relying on DAYS to help goose their subscriber numbers actually proves that what DAYS has been dishing out in the last year, in the streaming world, is strong enough to merit such a bold move.

Yep it’s a hard reality about to hit us within the next month. And internationally of course Australia’s Neighbours sadly just ended as well after a 37 year run last week so US soaps aren’t the only ones in troubled times. 
 

Ron has a lot of love for these shows and for daytime, but he also has a lot of ego and a lot of bad impulses. He made this situation himself. He's not the first once-beloved HW to fall apart in daytime because of their own excess multiple times, but he just might be the last. He did it to himself. Nobody else did it to him.

But we're getting eight more months of the same garbage. Days needs to start from scratch. They need to fire a lot of people and bring in those that fans want to see. Gwen and Co. need to go now! Days will not make it on Peacock with what's on the air now. 

Ron Carlivati is an obnoxious SOB who only cares about himself that's why the soap is where it is. He doesn't listen to the fans of the show.

You are  a kinder person than I am - I don't think  he gives a damn about DAYS, as he didn't about OLTL. He cares about his ego. He may have had some type of affection for the soap genre, but that has never translated to his writing.

With that said, I don't blame him  for where DAYS is now. It's a miracle, and very hard work of the cast and  crew, that the show has lasted this long. This day was always coming.

Well simple put Ron Carlivati got Days cancelled from NBC. There's no sugar coating it or blaming it on so and so who wanted to move it. Carlivati deserves no sympathy!

Yet the industry rewarded him with an Emmy!  What a joke!

    • This makes me think of that famous quote from COOL HAND LUKE,  "What we've got here is failure to communicate." I did not bring up "apparently" to try to get across either truth or validity, but doubt. If I had been sure, I would have said something entirely different. But, I'm not trying to argue, I hear you & I will comply. Besides that, I will endeavor to word things differently. I am never against trying to improve. 
    • That’s been my main issue with his response. It didn’t feel that earned by what came before. Definitely needed to see more of the Richardsons as a full family unit prior to all of this.
    • Bingo! I thought the exact same thing. Martin's anger feels so out of place, because we've hardly seen him interact with his parents. Vernon and him have more of a father/son relationship and we've seen their dynamic more fully play out. While obviously Ted and Marton are father and son, it felt a bit empty because we haven't really seen them bond or truly connect in any scenes.
    • Leslie inferred over 20 years ago, so Eva and Kat are over 20 at least 
    • As it happens, 40 years ago this week, ABC and CBS revealed their 1985-86 fall schedules. NBC revealed theirs the week before. ABC's would end up changing. The original plan for Tuesdays was to have Diff'rent Strokes lead the night, with He's the Mayor at 8:30, followed by Who's the Boss at 9, Growing Pains at 9:30, and Moonlighting at 10. There was some surprise over MacGruder & Loud not getting renewed, but it was considered part of Aaron Spelling's declining influence at the network. Yes, Dynasty was still a hit (for a while longer), but Aaron's shows steadily took up less and less of the schedule. Fall 1984: Seven hours, five of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, Glitter, Matt Houston, T.J. Hooker, The Love Boat, Finder of Lost Loves; MacGruder & Loud aired at midseason, by which time Glitter was gone.). Fall 1985: Five hours, two of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Hollywood Beat, The Love Boat). Fall 1986: Three-and-a-half hours, a half-hour of which was new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Life With Lucy). Fall 1987: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and Hotel; HeartBeat premiered at midseason). Fall-winter 1988: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and HeartBeat). This led to Variety's infamous shady headline in spring 1989: "Aaron's Dynasty Over"
    • I hope for a multi-year renewal, too! This is the only show I've been excited to see the next episode in forever. Considering their demos are quite decent. the initial episodes showed there is still an interest in daytime, and it has helped to boost the rest of the soap line up at times, it should be around for a while.

    • I agree.  How many times did we have to watch Bobby vs. J.R., or Blake vs. Alexis, knowing that nothing would change at the end, and that everything would go back to status quo, so that they could fight the same, exhausting battles all over again?  If nothing else, I give FC and KL credit for trying to keep things fresh, even if I think FC, in particular, went too far in the other direction and became unrecognizable even to the most diehard fans. Exactly.  Plus, because viewers were so burned out by the kind of serialized storytelling that was beginning to affect even half-hour comedies, I think MSW represented a nice change of pace.  You didn't have to watch every week, or watch from the beginning of each season, to know what was going on with Miss Fletcher.  Instead, you could watch a complete story in one episode, de-stress from whatever had happened in your own life last week, gear yourself up for the week ahead, and be okay. If you notice, though, there were differences between those two shows and what Aaron Spelling had produced in the past.  For one thing, there was a greater emphasis on youth; and while characters on 90210 and MP certainly had more disposable incomes than the average viewer, their wealth wasn't as opulent as what we'd seen on DYNASTY or on "Hart to Hart."  Even the battles among Alison, Amanda, Billy and others at that advertising agency weren't as histrionic as those between Denver Carrington and ColbyCo.
    • I saw a conversation yesterday with Liam with the 7 dwarves hat and Steffy -  I know she did not say re: Hope and Liam said - well look at Finn and you forgave him right?      I know I did not hear Steffy say “well but you can’t compare that to…”  For *uck sake someone call the bitch out!?     You’re right, we shouldn’t compare your forgiveness for the dude with devil spawn seed whose daughter locked you in a cage along with crazy stepmom/mom/Grandmother who has also SHOT YOU BOTH - and multiple murder attempts but you have to exist with them / Hope’s part in a takeover which you know was FAR LESS THAN CARTER BECAUSE HOPE IS NOT AN ATTORNEY…. Goodness no, no the same thing at alllllllll.   When they do Steffy’s absence at least let it be because they all find out what a manipulative ho she is in her own right.
