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.

      I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.

      For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next.

      I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew.

      Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol

      Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?

      The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
