Not sure what a person on soap twitter has to do with this board. He ain't here and we don't care. This board never has had a problem roasting Jamey Giddens back when he was just one of the little people on the bird app, or a number of others (Branco, anyone?), so I'm not sure why anyone else is off limits.

That's an incredibly shitty and dangerous thing to do to anyone and completely inappropriate given the recent horrible incidents. There's a difference between roasting some pompous person from afar and endangering their life.

You know what's weird about this is? That Ron's storyline's doesn't even last that long ultimately - it's not a case where it seems like they keep them going because they're such a big hit with the audience that they're forced to extend them, they all seem to come from a "why don't we do this" perspective, there's no real plan to them and then he gets bored with them and then he lets them splutter out in the background.

Yeah, agreed.

 

The direction is sorely lacking.

 

Most of the cast is underused.

 

Some small bright spots but any clear focus is missing. 

 

You have Nicole hobbling around spying on Jada/Eric. Alex leering at women (and I guess we get Stephanie wasted on him) and Maggie barely able to stand him. Paulina is wasted. Johnny/Ava/EJ could be a bright spot but after yesterday, EJ seems so oblivious ... 

 

None of this will draw eyes to the show on Peacock. I know BS does well but the actual show?

 

I did miss a bit; WTF happened to Philip? Alex must have been the quick replacement.

 

Stephanie/Philip/Gabi/Li/Stefan writes itself

Based on what I've read of Ken Corday's latest Peacock related interview, it sounds like he couldn't give a rat's behind about a certain segment of the Days audience. 

Anyone that is concerned, labelling this a soft cancellation by NBC, etc. is considered a "bottom feeder" in Ken's eyes lol.  He also seems to be fine with it not being "my mother's" Days of Our Lives anymore.

That's why Days is where it is now. Cancelled and just a step away from completely falling off the cliff.

I'll be surprised if it's still on Peacock after July 2023. Six more months of garbage before changes are made seems to seal its fate.

    • She could have easily tied them into the Cottage Mystery...(they could have easily explained going on adventures with Bea, babysitting) The house that Tony and Annabelle lived in could have been the coachhouse of the property that Qualo and Henry live in, or at the very least Nola would have been totally in on ghosts and secrets of her brother's house. But they kind of just sat around for months.  The clip of Van and Billy's impromptu wedding shows how sidelined Nola and Quint became...Nola isn't even around butting in on them getting married, its all Reva (though it is a more interesting Reva where Mindy and her or going at it and insulting each other..THAT Reva was fun.)  I loved it when those two would go at it. Somehow they could have resurrected that antogonistic relationship and not have Billy worshing at the throne of Reva.  When they brought JC back on recurring they should have had him at least warn Annie about Jeva pulling her down..."Darlin' I love my brother, but when he has ole Reva in his sites he will drop any woman to try to win her back...and then he will get bored with her...she's like booze is to me and you...he hates it but he needs it..get out while you can!"
    • It's been brought up that Empty Nest was a time slot hit. Here's Empty Nest schedule and seasonal rating in comparison to The Golden Girls. 1988/89: The Golden Girls Saturday 9 pm, 6th. Empty Nest Saturday 9:30 pm, 9th. 1989/90: The Golden Girls Saturday 9 pm, 6th. Empty Nest Saturday 9:30 pm, 9th. 1990/91: The Golden Girls Saturday 9 pm, 10th. Empty Nest Saturday 9:30 pm, 7th. 1991/92: The Golden Girls Saturday 8 pm, 30th (final season). Empty Nest Saturday 9 pm, 22nd.  1992/93: Saturday 9 pm, below the Top 30. 1993/94: Saturday 9 pm, below the Top 30. 1994/95: Saturday 8:30 pm then 8 pm, below the Top 30, and cancelled. Empty Nest 7 season run equaled the parent show The Golden Girls.
    • In an interesting turn of irony, when Somerset came onto the airwaves in 1970... it ran against Dark Shadows and beat it in the ratings fairly quickly.  Then when Edge of Night moves to ABC in December 1975 and put against Somerset, the slow ratings rise that Somerset was allegedly having in late 1975 is derailed. From reading the write ups of the final year, the show dropped the May/December romance.. which viewers enjoyed and was getting the show some good press... the original cast member was sidelined due to medical issues, and the show featured pure crime stories without any balance. I think the crime focus was an attempt to compete with EON.  However, people that were into crime stories/mysteries weren't going to tune into Somerset for their fix.. not when Edge of Night was known for that.. and that show was running on a high quality wise when the network switch occurred.

    • Erwin Nicholson's last episode as SFT ep was 11/21. Whitesell started 11/22/85. Erwin was on board from March 8, 1985 so less than 9 months. Whitesell lasts six months (approximately) before P&G moved him to AW for two years where he primarily worked with DePriest. Whitesell was replaced on Search by no daytime experience David Lawrence who closed out the show's last six months.

    • I assume in name only?  One Stormy Night wasn't exactly steamy.  If it's a literal throwback then Stephanie's writing about sexy times her own Uncle was having lol. Since I am going to surmise it's just a throwback to the name, Night Sins and Winter Heat both sound sexier.  Just saying.  I swear Jamey (and Ron) just google things and land on the first thing they like and decide it's a good throwback to history without watching it.
    • I usually don't want Tide placement in the middle of an intense sad scene, but this is an interesting point
