I don't see Jackee or RSW leaving, but the others probably will.  It's a shame they were wasted because BB, EOB, and even GR aren't bad actors.  They were just horribly written. 

9 months is so long.  I can literally gestate a human in that time lol.   It's difficult when the news happens and then you have to wait nearly a year for action to show on screen.

Oh, I see them all going, since they've essentially been pets of the "writer" the entire time. Clean-sweep it to bring back some classic, true-to-heart characters.

Mhmm. It baffles me when they should've been less than that, as they aired taped material until through [most] of the 2020 era of the pandemic... so, sometime in the interim they quite honestly sped-taped things. And it showed. Quite disappointing.

I wouldn't be sad about either Paulina or Alex going, but you can bring back Ben and I don't mind Paulina/Abe.   I think JH fits better than RSW playing his second character or EOB playing a second unpopular character in a blonde wig lol.  I am invested in both Chanel and Lani so I do see Paulina's value even if I can't stand JH's "style" of acting lol. 

 

It feels like they should just scrap a lot of RC's stuff, but I realize that it's way too expensive.  A fresh start could really re-boot the show, but it still generally lands in the top 10 on peacock everyday, so I don't know if ratings are actually bad.

RON CARLIVATI TO END "DAYS" RUN IN 3RD PLACE ALL-TIME FOR MOST EPISODES AS HEAD WRITER....

Ron Carlivati will wrap his "Days" run in April 2025, with around 1,960-1,970 episodes as head writer. That places him just behind William J. Bell (2,211 episodes) and James E. Reilly (2,069 episodes) on the all-time "Days" list.

Neither work for me, and I've hated Wilson since All My Children, so neither would be a loss for me. I've taken to O'Brien as Theresa, but I don't see the need for either on the canvas right now.

Invest a bit of money, re-write and re-tape five-to-six months worth of material. Just do it.

RSW doesn't bother me the way he does for most.  I think he's handsome and charming enough.  I wouldn't actually care if he left, but he doesn't really annoy me to much.  He seems like he tries and likes his job.  YMMV and I do understand him being unpopular just due to the enormous propping they did for him.  The Days cast doesn't feel that crowded to me and I do like Justin/WK having a purpose.  

I agree, but it will never happen.

Hey everybody, all the talk about apologies from people at GH or to people at Days had me thinking all day and I’ve finally come up with a comprehensive list of the actors at Days that I feel Ron owes an apology to. Feel free to add any that I’ve missed…

Kassie DePaiva, Kate Mansi, Marci Miller, Patrika Darbo, Victoria Konefal, Emily O’Brien, Lindsay Arnold, Raven Bowens, Sal Stowers, Jessica Serfaty, Chrishell Stause, Billy Flynn, Paul Telfer, Peter Porte, Mike Manning, Brock Kelly, Freddie Smith, Chandler Massey, Zach Tinker, Lucas Adams, Carson Boatman, Matthew Ashford, Kevin Spirtas, Cameron Johnson.

And I don’t know why but I think he owes Thaao Penghlis an apology as well, judging from the little shade that Thaao threw when he was on Dishin Days.

And even though he loved Marlena and Leo, I think on some level that he owes Deidre Hall and Greg Rikaart apologies as well.

This is surely a budget move as much as anything else. With Ron having headwrote OLTL and GH he would be able to command a good salary, and Cwickly and Ford must be cheaper.

They probably wrote days during the strike and the numbers didn't drop and there was no huge backlash to their stories so it was an easy move to save $$$ and drop Ron.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      Justine had a lot of hooey in it, but she was an actual woman, not a guy in drag. She was a doppelganger of Rachel, French, having had a past history with Carl, etc. Two of the more outrageous parts-Justine bricking alive Vicky into a wall & Justine grinding the gears driving a big rig.

      Jill Farren Phelps was always very skilled at saying what she meant onscreen in the bluntest way possible, like whenever she wanted fans to support one character vs. the other (hence Megan McTavish groaning about having to write Kale Browne's Sam Rappaport into three days a week at OLTL). Perhaps you should consider doing the same. Historically your intent is always far more obvious than your efforts at coy embroidery anyway. You believe people are dismissing Phelps' accomplishments, and suggest misogyny and fan blinders allow people to too easily pigeonhole and dismiss her skill set. I think we all understand her varied skill set. We're saying it's not enough to make up for her deficiencies as a storyteller and creative. JFP was undoubtedly a skilled technical producer. As a solo storyteller, and de facto HW, she was a repeat and predictable failure. She was not the first or last EP (male or female) to think she was a writer. If you want us to stop taking your behavior personally when you suggest misogyny is at play in board opinions of JFP, perhaps you should consider spending the next 10+ years here not acting like you're the only one who gets it.

      Melissa was here today & we went to Michael's Crafts & Ofc Depot. In Michael's there were two beautiful LITTLE girls who kept staring at me, so I gave them a littel wave & very quietly said HI & then did back. I told Melissa they were staring at me. She smiled & said "Purple. A lot of little girls love purple & you forget but you have purple hair. Seeing you their whole imaginations are transformed! Thinking "That lady has purple hair. That means I can have purple hair! They had no clue before seeing you that it was possible." I just laughed & laughed.

      This opening scene is hilarious...it's like someone wrote out the script for Philip with one hand. And Rick...sniffing a scarf over and over. And in their next scene they are still sniffing the [!@#$%^&*] scarf as the camera stays all over Philip's bare chest and armpits as he keeps working out. Insane stuff.

      I'm back! We are back! Me and my husband are finally back at our favorite hobby! How could I postpone returning to this amazing show for so long??? What was I thinking??? Another World - February 2nd, 1989 The dead will revenge the living

      Bay City better be ready, because I'm back!   At Vicky's apartment she is once again drowning in doubts and jealousy. Deep down she realizes that her dream wedding will be a farce and nothing can change that. Bridget tries to calm her down, but the heroine is determined to suffer. She is not hearing any positive thoughts. She doesn't believe Jamie will marry her. At the Cory Publishing building another farce is in process. Iris, once again pretending to be the angel of love and sisterhood... is telling Mac and Rachel some wonderful news. When Iris has good news, you really need to look out for yourself. That's when things are bad. So what are the news? Miss Devil has put Amanda up for an award! Mac is smiling from ear to ear, and Rachel is suspicious. Maybe that's the effect Iris is looking for. To once again accent on the fact that Rachel doubts and criticizes her daughter. Iris will do anything to destabilize their relationship. She is like a cancer. Back to Vicky! Jamie is at the door. Looking like a sad puppy, he has come with a surprise. No, he is not gonna leave her and her unborn... Not yet. He has bought her earrings. Sad face. How nice. NOT. Victoria, of course... manages to break one of them the moment she touches it. Bad premonition maybe? She was back in hysterics. It's not easy to trap a man into marriage. Then you have to live with someone that didn't want you in the first place.  We were introduced to a new character (to me at least she is new) - Cass's sister - Stacey. She is giving me "hidden skeletons in the closet"-vibes. Love a girl like that. Stunning actress. I like her. The highlight of the episode was the strange and creepy reveal of Evan the escort... hugging someone named Janice's grave. I remember she had an issue with Rachel... and Rachel killed her in self defense I think... It was hinted in prior episodes, but I lack the context and story. I just know that everyone at the Frame house was mad that Rachel killed the bish. But I also got the impression that this Janice was sick in the head. So Evan is now talking to her grave and telling her he is going to ruin Rachel's life basically. Oh, Evan... I liked you better as a sexy gigolo.  Overall - 10/10 - how can I rate it lower when I haven't watched in months!!!

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      Once again, Marlena and Kayla were used very effectively and I couldn’t be happier.  Marlena counseling Johnny and then Chanel was the best part of today. They’re really delving into the human emotion of this storyline and I think that’s a good thing. It feels so much mature than it was before. EJ’s fear about what could happen to Johnny if he doesn’t let go of his anger could lead to some really good storylines in the future.  I also really appreciate the way that Paula/Jeanne are mixing it up and having different characters interact with each other. It was nice to see Shawn and Johnny remember that they’re cousins and share a scene together. I liked the parallel that was drawn between the two of them, and what’s going on with their fathers. I did have mixed feelings about everything with Cat though. I enjoyed Chanel warning her about EJ, mostly because it played into the way that she was written today. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Chad/EJ scenes. The two of them discussing Chad’s potential feelings for Cat didn’t really keep my interest.  But above all, I feel that everyone is being used more effectively and that we’re getting a better understanding of everyone as well. And that was exactly what Days needed.
