Also, each episode has ads that run depending on the level of membership on Peacock

So Days has views, plus whatever $ comes from the ads, and I'm sure Peacock can figure who signed up and the content they're watching after signing up.

When Passions was on Direct Tv, what caused them to not continue beyond the one year wasn't due to viewership... but a lack of subscription #s.   So I'm wondering if Days initially was judged based on the # of people that signed up for Peacock.. and now it's a combination of views, ad revenue, and any new subscribers coming on.

Am I correct in assuming that DAYS does not drive new subscribers (since it’s not promoted outside Peacock) but it helps retain the current ones (most of which where acquired when DAYS transitioned to Peacock)?

That's probably the biggest plus that DAYS is bringing to Peacock...these viewers who go to the streaming service five days a week to watch the show and possibly viewing other things on the platform that they may have never watched otherwise. It's about generating daily traffic.

They need to really lean into this back to basics model. In addition to another soap, if I were them I'd be looking at what HBO Max did with The Pitt and trying to launch more affordable network-style shows with longer runs. That could be the one piece that could cement them as a viable platform.

      I'm not sure they ever had a clear vision on Hart. Other than being the only real instrument that could make Roger pay for his actions.

      Just an actress that truly knows her own character and plays it so real.

      Thanks for posting. Is any of her soap stuff, especially from OLTL, available?

      Lol.  Even if the writing has been slightly better I am not going to claim it

      When NuArianna said "OMG, my cousin and uncle are right there" when talking to Doug 3 I had to pause and remember if it checks out.   It did.  Gabi also hilariously said Ari doesn't know any man in this town she isn't related to so they did acknowledge the log jam of Horton/Brady/Kiriakis blend kids.

      In my fanfic reboot, this would've all foreshadowed Viki finding her daughter Megan.  They could've saved money on all that Eterna mishegoss.  And, given justice to Cathy Craig for being gaslighted by Tony and Joe.  She wasn't always unstable, but the guys she liked always lied to her as if she couldn't cope with the slightest bit of stress.  Meanwhile, she was probably a much more talented writer than Joe.

      Side note: It is ironic that Dr. Danny and Megan Gordon were on screen at the same time.  He dated, her lover's younger sister. But, if she was born when Viki was 17, and Danny was born in 1971, she would've been at least five to ten years older than him.

      What a masterclass today was.  Great acting, great writing. Episodes like this (and like yesterday's Days) are truly what soap opera is. And I agree with everybody that every character's actions are defensible in some way.  Giovanni Mazza is still shining brightly. His scenes with Jane Elliot were the best part of today. I'm so looking forward to seeing their relationship grow. And I'm also looking forward to what's going to happen with Brook Lynn and Lois, and how they're going to come back from this. Amanda Setton killed it as well. Plus, this is a much better way to use Lois/RS than that My Fair Lady ripoff that they did last year. And I couldn't be happier that Dante's sudden animosity towards Gio didn't lead to the reveal be dragged out for any longer, because with the way that GH is sometimes, I was really worried that it was going to be. This storyline can go in so many different directions and I'm totally here for it. Hopefully, Gio is kept in the Quartermaine's orbit, as opposed to Sonny and his dopey family. Speaking of Sonny's dopey family, I enjoyed Rory Gibson's scenes with Wiley. He seemed believable as his father. But I also thought that his scenes with Sasha were a little...  ehhh. I won't compare him to Chad Duell though.  Trina and Kai were really sweet too. They're no Sprina, but I enjoy them together. And Kai looked hot too

      And despite the height difference, I'm glad that they didn't have Tabyana tiptoe to kiss Jens. That's a Sprina thing

      I was saying that they may not bury gays like other shows, but we never see them kissing or making love in a way that rivals the straight couples on the show. And, it hurts because the opinion of "Helen, the 75-year-old evangelical from Alabama" matters, but our strong gay fanbase doesn't seem to matter to the PTB as much. Probably because they know we will watch no matter what. It feels like P&G is still reacting in its 2000s Nuke and Otalia mode.

      Just another beat that they missed, and they seem to miss them often.
