Members Soapsuds Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 Great scoop Vee!! @Errol?? You got beat!! Please register in order to view this content So only three soaps left on air. Maybe they'll get more money for the show on peacock and finally fire Ron Carlivati. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 Could this be their way of just phasing it out at some point?? So Canadian viewers won't be able to see it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted August 3, 2022 Administrator Share Posted August 3, 2022 DAYS has one year left - this is the trial period now. If it fails, DAYS is likely done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 My thought as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 That’s my guess/fear. Things will get scaled back until it’s quietly cancelled altogether. we knew this would happen one day, but it seems too fast, especially considering the new fall season is just over a month away. Don’t local stations plan out their daytime schedule months in advance? Does this mean a bunch of NBC stations will have lame infomercials in their place? (Or just add another hour of local news) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 Ooo...did not even think of that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted August 3, 2022 Author Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 As much as I would love for soaps to continue five days a week daily year round on streaming, I think if they have a future there it will have to be seasonally-based, with blocks of episodes parceled out at a time. For me the ideal has always been (and I've been saying this for years) 6-8 weeks of daily half hour eps per season, take a break, come back and continue various long-running plot threads and storylines while closing out others with each arc. I think that's the future. It's something not totally dissimilar to what Linda Gottlieb experimented with at OLTL when she first started in '91, but it didn't work because of the nature of the daily medium on network at that time and because of the story choices. Of course, if GH or DAYS could sustain themselves streaming daily I wouldn't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 Will it be free or will Days be on premium like Beyond Salem? Of course this was the reason.. Days has been the least-watched of the four remaining network daytime dramas for years now, making it increasingly difficult for NBC execs to justify keeping the show around absent reduced license fees (which Sony has largely been able to deliver). But it gets replaced by another cheap ripoff Today/GMA part 1 billion. These networks are clueless and lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted August 3, 2022 Author Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 It could very well be a Passions DirecTV situation. But I also think the Beyond Salem spinoffs have indicated a real commitment to giving it a try in a new medium, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 Fast? How long has Ron and Corday had to fix it? He ruined his parents legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members teplin Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) DAYS is being replaced by a 5th hour of Today ... supposedly. Edited August 3, 2022 by teplin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 So I think they'll reduce the cast A LOT and could they even got to a HALF HOUR like BOLD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
