R9 I'm willing to give Sarah more of a chance because she is a new arrival & the actress can't be blamed for her characters words/actions.

My four would be =

Jennifer - Too nice & boring. I go into sugar shock whenever she is on the screen.

Kayla - Miss Stinkface. What is her problem? I've seen her in clips from the past & she didn't have as much resting bitch face as she does now. For years she has always looked like she is smelling farts or something. Enough already.

Eric - Also too nice & boring. He's also a wooden actor but I like him personally.

Rafe - I've watched him on every season of Passions before his Days arrival but the actor doesn't convince me of anything he says & is also very wooden. He just stumbles through the scenes & is so one dimensional. Just a dumb jock token cop.

The above four never give me a wide range of emotions & I could care less if they all fell down an elevator shaft as a group. No big loss at all.

by Anonymousreply 13January 24, 2019 12:08 AM

Tripp started appearing in March/April 2017, if they cut him now, he would air till Jun/July 2019. That's a bit more than 2 years, which is a good run for a young actor these days. When Chambo started they got 4 years contract, but they don't give hose any more since the show barely gets renewed from year to year.

by Anonymousreply 14January 24, 2019 12:22 AM

Since we have names like Moobs/FCF, GrindrJoey, Hopeless/Esperanza, etc., let's continue this and use R8's name for Sarah Horton: Screech!

Eric can leave with Nicole if her return is temporary.

Jordan can be revealed as the true Necktie Killer after she murders Screech.

BTW, is RonC trying to show Screech drinking too much and then become an "alcoholic" like Maggie? Well, there is NO "alcoholic gene" (that went out the theory door in the 1990s) plus Sarah wasn't even around when Maggie was drinking those many decades ago. "My name is SCREECH -- sniff -- and I'm an ALCOHOLIC! Sniff sniff!"

Unless James Scott is returning as EJ, we NEED Brandon Barash to remain as evil sexy Stefan.

Stefan can get revenge on Kayla by seducing and fucking Tripp, which will make Steve be even more angry at his wife.

It's not like Jason Brooks would come back so Missy Reeves, or more so, Scott Reeves, doesn't have anything to worry about. They just need to recast. Especially now that Jack is back. It could be like the good ol' days.

And I'm hoping the 4 being cut are so that Days can lure back Eileen Davidson.

But the show has never been interested in writing for her -- or Lucas Adams' Tripp, and I think that actor is the most talented of the younger set.

R131 It's not about whether you know or not they would go through with sex. If Xander tricks Leo, that's a legitimate plot device for a villain like Xander. But to exploit gaybaiting so blatantly, and then overlapping it with a "Xander falls for Sarah" plot. The juxtaposition is problematic to say the least.

No, that's part of the mystery.

However, the initials "J.D." were on a door at Kristen & Dr. Rolf's compound in Nashville, along with A.V., V.A., and A.D. Since Kristen and Rolf had revived EJ and held him there, speculation is that those initials people were also held there after their "deaths" and revived.

Jack Deveraux, Ava Vitale, Vivian Alamain, and Andre DiMera are those presumed revived dead people.

So, most likely, Kristen had Jack as well, which is how Xander knew and therefore made the deal with Eve.

Jack's probably been unconscious like EJ until recently but maybe not.

As I recall, there were at least three DNA tests. .. The first two were the (less reliable) pre-natal amnio- tests run by sketchy lab tech, Nick Fallon. .. And when running the test the first time, it was Nick's doing Kate's bidding to show that EJ was the twins' father that ended up getting him fired. .. But then, after the babies were born, EJ kept going on and on about how much "the boy" baby looked like him. Marlena eventually convinced Sami to have a standard, post-natal DNA test to be absolutely certain, arguing that this would allow Sami to get EJ out of her life, so she could move on with Lucas. That test confirmed that Johnny was EJ's.

It's clear you have to agree to work for less to stay on Days. Stephen Nichols thought he had clout but but the show saved more money by cutting him and moving the character off screen. CS probably didn't even bother to negotiate, just left once he found some other gig to pay the bills.

by Anonymousreply 180January 27, 2019 11:36 PM

I don't think you have to agree to work for less, I think you have to wrap your head around the economics of the business. Nichols seems to think it's 1988 and he's working 5 days a week and pulling in high six figures. That's just not the business anymore. As Alfonso tried to explain to Reckell, you are making a decent salary for working 30 weeks a year. It's always the vets who were big shit back in the day, who have the biggest problems stepping off to the side. These people have to realize that Days is producing 8 shows a week for the exact same licensing fee that produced 4 episodes 30 years ago. And don't get me wrong, the show is still making money, it would have been cancelled if it wasn't. Is it paying for the entire NBC Pilot Season like it did in the 90s, no. But they are making a few pennies off of it and they are not going to give those few pennies to 70 year old Stephen Nichols.

I agree R183.

Why don't they phase out most of the over 45 & turn this show into a version of Melrose Place? Theo, Jan, Joey & other youths should return big time.

I'd keep Maggie the longest vet (& Victor since he isn't a contract player) as well as Abe (the longest running black character on tv today).

I'd put everyone else on recurring guest status. If it's good enough for Doug & Julie than it's good enough for the rest.

The show pulled in okay numbers when John & Marlena were off for awhile so they aren't the big draws they pretend to be.

Also Is Valerie (Vanessa Williams) being phased out so another actress can come back into the picture & play Eli's mom? Anyone know the latest details?

R273 They act the pretty much same through all their scenes to me. Nothing exceptional that I have seen. Only when the writing, chemistry and acting all come together do you have anything worth watching on soap. Everything else is just pushing the story along. Chandler is just doing that waiting for a good story/pairing. WilSon warmed over ain't it.

by Anonymousreply 277January 31, 2019 8:13 PM

It's not just me R277 Other DLers have pointed it out earlier but I was reluctant to see it.

His lack of intensity for what the scene calls for is becoming more evident.

I've enjoyed his stories with Sonny more than ever = Will remembering Sonny, getting back together, Leo "dead" & his return, etc. These arcs beat the "hooking up with Gabi" arc from several years back & the "murdered by the Necktie Killer" arc. Little Ari is just dead weight for all 3 parents in my opinion & should be axed. Jordan should have kidnapped her & done her in off screen here this spring.

For the record, I shipped Will & the hotel bellhop instead of Sonny or Paul (those two were a good couple together in my opinion). Will & the bellhop were more of a devilish couple that could have stirred things up for others (like his troublemaker mom Sami). What we've had for years is a boring Will & it seems like his portrayer is now too bored to bring any realness to his character. Jussie S. on Empire doesn't have any problems playing his gay character year after year.

by Anonymousreply 278January 31, 2019 8:33 PM

R278 The other DLers who keep criticizing Chandler are mostly trolls. His lack of interest mirrors my lack of interest, so I guess that's why I don't fault him one bit. No amount of intense acting can save the lack of interesting story development. I thought Ben was interesting for a while when he came back, but I lost interest in him after a while due to the character going around in circle.

R393 Yes, both Jack and EJ went on to become part of "Jack & Jennifer" and "EJ & Sami" (EJami), respectively. And besides your basic soap PR machine or some fraudom trying to make something happen, both of those couples have been referred to as "supercouples" in the mainstream media.

If fact, the "Washinton Post" even mentioned Jack being a rapist in a 1990 article they did on the show.

[quote] The past few weeks have witnessed the birth of yet another "DOOL" supercouple, Jack Deveraux and Jennifer Horton (Matthew Ashford and Melissa Brennan). The romance flourished when the former rapist, reformed by love, kidnapped the bride from her wedding (a la "The Graduate"). Ridiculous, you say? "GH's" Luke Spencer (Tony Geary), a former rapist reformed by love, began his famous romance with Laura (Genie Francis) when he bolted his own wedding to run off with his former victim. Unlikely couple though they may be, Jack and Jennifer are delightful together. Both performers have charm. Stocked with at least two supercouples, "DOOL" faces a promising summer.

They will no doubt use Jordan (Rafe's ex) to drive a wedge between Rope. Ted will be mentally/emotionally/physically available to Hope & Rafe won't be.

I'm sure Hope (& maybe Ted as well) will eventually say to Rafe "You were with Jordan for awhile. How come you didn't see any of this coming?"

In a breach of contract and fraud complaint filed this morning, Corday Productions accuse Sony as well as its Columbia Pictures and Screen Gems divisions of deliberating hanging the 1965 premiering DOOL out to dry distribution-wise in international markets to the advantage of their 100% owned The Young and the Restless.

The Corday action also alleges that Sony “treachery” has led to the majority of DOOL’s back seasons left “completely unexploited for over five years” in an attempt to starve off the soap and pump up the CBS broadcasted Y&R.

The filing slathers it up more by claiming that Sony is tightening its hold of late by “imposing solely on Corday the burden of absorbing the multi-million dollar annual operating deficits due to an inadequate NBC license fee and mandating an inefficient, costly production schedule.”

Another World used to be hugely popular in Canada, as well -- long past its U.S. heyday. Did NBC have better penetration of Canada than ABC & CBS?

If I am remembering right I believe that Days is currently being sued by a former employee who alleged that the show was negligent in safety and that they were almost nearly paralyzed and or could have been possibly killed because of falling equipment on top of them.

R521 Strudel was ridiculed/hated for his bad acting, which caused the show to get rid of him by just killing Will.

Strudel was not a bad actor, except in the minds of some of you. He was So Much Better than your adored "Chambo."

He wasn't a bad actor...not at all. I think folks felt they were robbed of the Chandler Will/Sonny wedding and were pissed right off the bat.

Then they had Will cheat off-camera, a real 180 in characterization after his rage towards Sami for being an adulterer, and they didn't even develop it. Will was just suddenly unfaithful and defensive towards Sonny. And then writing a story about his family and exposing them to public ridicule. And then sleeping with Paul for no real reason.

It was a hatchet job. Probably to punish Chandler and appease bigot viewers and advertisers.

But Guy played his scenes well.

R531 The lawsuit came in 2017 from an accident that occurred four years ago in 2015. While it named Sony-Days, the real culprit in terms of alleged negligence seemed to lie with the contractor on premises, Goodnight & Co. It sounded like they were the primary defendant. They're not a small potatoes company and work on many television shows and entertainment specials (e.g. lots of award shows).

In any event, I would assume medical expenses for the injury itself would have been covered by California workers compensation insurance, and the companies themselves would more than likely have insurance if negligence were proven. If insurance companies became involved, this could have been settled out of court by now. - jmho

Kristen will be back soon. Ron wants the character back full-time, as well as Susan Banks. Stacy is on contract for x amount of months. Eileen Davidson will be approached again soon. If she turns it down, Stacy will be on the show for at least a year. I'm guessing that with losing Billy Flynn they want someone to take over for the DiMera family.

TOTAL ZZZzzzzz this show is without xander (paul telfer).... every scene he's in, comes alive even when he's wearing clothes!... personally i think he would make the PERFECT new james bond! he's got the looks, the body, the accent and the right age....

speaking of soaps? whatever happened to the built hunks that used to be on every show? whatever happened to sex scenes that would be shown nearly every other episode? on one hand, the remaining soaps are more "progressive" with their gay characters, but on the other hand, they have become almost G rated! personally i think the ones in charge (writers, directors, producers) don't give a shit anymore, they are just "biding time" until all the soaps are cancelled and then they'll find new work...

Ron's OLTL was a nonstop parade of shirtless and Speedo-ed men. I assume DOOL isn't because there's virtually no budget for body makeup, nor any time to apply it. Kyle Lowder's perma-tan allows him to be the exception.

The new thread photo had Leo & Xander (a.k.a. Lander) talking with both of them shirtless so there is something for everyone = tall, short, hairy, smooth, muscular, puny, athletic & nerdy.

Someone said that in France the show was dubbed and they split the show into two episodes and that delayed them even more. It was 2013 and they were still watching episodes from 2006! I think 2013 is when the show stopped airing over there. It had an audience.

As I recall, in Australia, Days was canceled by the advertiser-supported network channel, and after something like a year, Sony was able to sell it to a cable pay channel (Foxtel). .. It's actually paired with Y&R in a 90-minute block.

Not sure I'd pay to watch either show .. LOOL

Looks like Benjy is gonna be absolved of the killings. If we didn't actually see him do it, I suppose it's a way out. Will is problematic since we saw the strangulation play out on screen. Ditto for setting the bed on fire with Chabby still in it but I suppose that can be explained away by saying he was drugged.

I love the show now that Ron has taken over. I loved it when Eileen was on. It's a hell of a lot better than the entire 2000s crapfest (sans the Marlena serial killer storyline). The very early 2010s were a bit boring until Eileen came back in 2012. Then it hit a snag when Dena tried to destroy things. I'd say the 2010s Days has been pretty great. Ron has found the right balance playing with the Jim Riley years while also integrating some timely subjects like illegal immigration and racial profiling without hitting people over the head with it. It's a friggin soap.

Chrishell Stause is a doing a terrific job. I thought her character was so boring originally. Having her now as a nut case is soooo much more interesting. Kudos for making Laura Kai Chen as Melinda Trask a full-time villain. I love her character. It's good that Days has a more diverse cast without it seeming to be forced like Dena was doing with the boring Hernandez clan. Days was one of the whitest shows on television for years. Victoria Konefal is a good Ciara recast as well. My god, how many recasts did they have to do to finally get that one right??!
