Is this the end of Days of our Lives?
The sand appears to be leaking out of the hourglass.
TVLine has learned exclusively that the producers of Days of Our Lives have released the entire cast from their contracts, with the venerable soap set to go on an indefinite hiatus at month’s end. While the NBC sudser has not been cancelled, the unprecedented — and decidedly ominous — move comes at a precarious time for ratings-challenged Days and the vanishing soap genre as a whole. It also comes as Sony Pictures Television and NBC are in negotiations to renew series.
Reps for NBC and Sony declined to comment for this story. A Sony source, meanwhile, tells TVLine that the studio is not involved in the contract negotiations with the cast. “The actor deals are through Corday Productions,” explains the insider, referring to Days‘ production company. A spokesperson for Corday Productions, meanwhile, did not reply to TVLine’s request for a comment.

For the show and the genre, that is pretty big news. If the Hollywood Reporter or Variety picks it up, it's something. Seems odd it got leaked to something like TVLine, but why make it up either?

TVLine has the same parent company as Deadline and Variety

Apparently, the show did the same thing before previous long hiatuses.

It's a smart business decision on Corday's part. But it's very positive that NBC does want to keep the show.

No they didn’t.

I’ve seen the show. Can’t they just recast all the roles with beautiful young people who can’t act but who are happy to spend all day on a sound stage with no shirts on? That’s really what it’s all about anyway, isn’t it?

Maybe now Drake Hogestyn will take the plunge into movies, astound everyone with his acting talent and end up winning an Academy Award!

I think Drake should go to Y&R as Dina's bangs.

Drake brought it last year. He did an excellent job and was robbed of an Emmy nom.

There have already been several threads on this OP. Would it have killed you to have done a search first before you posted this? I mean really? What’s wrong with having a little consideration for others and doing a search first? Would it really have been that hard? Would it?
