Members dolphziggler Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 Probably the smart move. Broadcast television is dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted August 3, 2022 Author Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 It's really giving them a no win scenario: Continue on if you can prop up our paid service which has yet to build its own subscriber base. If DAYS was on the free tier it could potentially work given a slashed cast and probably new format. But expecting daytime fans to shore up Peacock themselves for a show that frankly is not at its best is not going to happen. GH would (and will, someday, hopefully, maybe) have a better shot at it on Hulu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaytimeFan Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 Paid only? DAYS won't be on Peacock by the end of its contract. The viewership is not going to pay to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members teplin Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 So is Peacock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members px780 Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 This is fascinating. I can't tell if it's more about giving Days one final shot, or that they want to grow Peacock and think Days will do it (even if they don't think it can anchor daytime television). I'm really curious to see what happens with the cast. Beyond Salem pulled big names, streaming might still be cooler than networks, maybe they can get some stronger characters/actors back. It definitely makes sense why stories seem mostly wrapped up, if they prepped for a transition. I tend to think it'd have been more fun to make it a podcast, since it's so low budget visually and soaps came from radio, while also giving characters social media accounts to try and get some attention on the show, outside those of us who have been hooked for years.

Members dragonflies Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 Sadly I think GH would do great at HULU if ABC ever canned it. I say it now Bold's gonna be the last soap standing cause of how well it does internationally and the fact that Bell family owns it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaytimeFan Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 Yes, that's how I watched it. Global also made the second Beyond Salem available on its Stack TV platform. That would be the lingering concern that Global will shift DAYS onto Stack TV...but the issue for Global is what they'd be able to air to fill the timeslot.

Members Soapsuds Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 Oh please! I wouldn't mind them all being fired minus the four vets left. The show has a lot of dead weight characters. Time to fire Ron Carlivati too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
