Members soapfan770 Posted August 4, 2022 Members Share Posted August 4, 2022 I always get tired of him when I see this, especially regarding his comments a couple years back about rape that should have gotten him but of course it did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted August 4, 2022 Members Share Posted August 4, 2022 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted August 4, 2022 Members Share Posted August 4, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jdee43 Posted August 4, 2022 Members Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) 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. Edited August 4, 2022 by Jdee43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 4, 2022 Members Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) 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!

Members Gray Bunny Posted August 4, 2022 Members Share Posted August 4, 2022 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.

Members soapfan770 Posted August 4, 2022 Members Share Posted August 4, 2022 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.

Members Soapsuds Posted August 4, 2022 Members Share Posted August 4, 2022 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.

Members DRW50 Posted August 4, 2022 Members Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) 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.

Members Soapsuds Posted August 4, 2022 Members Share Posted August 4, 2022 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!
