I’ve never been sure if the people who work on these shows read message boards like this, but in case they do, and since the new writers are currently in the infancy of their run at Days (They’ll be 9 months ahead by the time we get to see their material!), what would we like to see from them?
Realistically, we can’t ask for shorter film to air dates, and for them to do things outside their budget, that keeps the show running, but I would love to see certain stories.
More Hortons and less DiMera’s. The previous regime has ruined the DiMera’s for me. Stefano is dead. Rest them all and the predictable and boring stories that go along with them. Bring on the next generation of Hortons. There are literally so many options. Claire, Will, Nathan, Jeremy, Eli, Ciara (without Ben please) could all return with their families. Scotty, Sandy and Steven could all have children and grandchildren who make their way to Salem. Make the Hortons the center of the show, not the DiMera’s.
Make death a permanent thing in Salem. Back from the dead is such a lazy plot point. It’s more interesting for characters to be alive when they leave a show, then to let everyone false grieve and bring them back months later with little to no regard to what they were doing before their “death”. Again, Stefano is dead, let back from the dead’s be as well.
With that being said, before we make death permanent, please bring back Laura and Abigail. Both of these characters had horrible and unnecessary endings. They are to important to the history of the show to go out like they did. Fix it.
Please fix other mistakes like Bo and Hope’s and Belle and Shawn’s current states. Have Marlena be in stories with her family, and not in stories with pointless characters like Everett and Leo.
Write the show with a more serious and realistic tone. Soap operas are campy and unserious at times yes, but by writing the cheap JER rip offs that the previous regime did makes it painfully obvious, especially when you don’t have the budget to produce it. Look to the 60s and 70s for ideas. Days told melodramatic and riveting stories with a smaller budget than they had in the 80s and 90s and had a much larger audience because of it.
