Days was about to go through a big overhaul with the cast, I thought.

by Anonymousreply 80August 8, 2022 10:13 PM

McKinsey’s just begging to keep his job. THIS WILL FAIL ON PEACOCK! No streamer has ever shown 250 episodes per year of scripted drama. Streaming is for movies or short, limited seasons. Not a daily drama. This has failure written all over it from the get go. The best they can hope for is more 5 episode Beyond Salem like arcs after Peacock officially cancels Days.

by Anonymousreply 81August 8, 2022 10:29 PM

Essentially what director Scott McKinsey was saying was that:

NBC was guaranteed to cancel Days in Sept. 2023, when the current contract expires.

By moving Days to Peacock, the show stands a chance of surviving beyond that Sept. 2023 date. The chance will depend on the number of viewers Days gets once its on Peacock exclusively and how many people start subscribing to Peacock as a results of Days being there.

I'm certainly going to support Days by ponying up $5 a month, at least for the first few months. That act may help save the entire soap genre.

Days would be the anchor baby. You sign up to watch Days, but you stay to watch the other shows already streaming on the channel.

If I recall correctly Corday has it down to about $600,000 for 1 week of shows. A 10 episode season of a Peacock Original probably clocks in between 10 and 15 million.

If they can get the show down to 150 original episodes a year with a summer hiatus and holiday breaks, that gets you down to 30 new weeks of programming for about $18 million.

However, the key is for the audience to accept these new approaches, but we know how soap fans are. This would be a great opportunity to reset the entire show.

General Hospital is about to become the Lowest Rated Network Soap...Not a good look that ABC is going to put up with. ABC owns GH. They won't bother moving it to Hulu because it won't be worth the cost--rumor says Mumbles makes a million a year. Ain't nobody paying that waste of money at Hulu. GH is toast as soon as ABC sees that DAYS does nothing for the subscription base on Peacock. This is very likely the last GH season.

I think anyone, with the exception of RSW, who makes more than a $1000 an episode needs to go. And that includes Doc, John, Patch, Kayla and anyone else whose story began sometime in the 80s. All you need is to get the show down to a tight 15 and an A, B, and C story.

One of the biggest problems with all soap opera is that they're still writing them like it's 1985 and they have all the money in the world. I rarely complain about Days, but the cycling characters in an out gets tired and stymies story.

I'm going to pull this straight out of my ass. I am not an insider. This is based on nothing except things I've read over the years and just a general feeling. Out of the list you named, Dee clearly makes the most. My guess is she makes about $5000/$6000 an episode. This is probably about a 60% cut from her top salary back during the glory days.

Susan probably makes scale. She enjoys working and the supplemental SAG is a nice benefit at her age.

I suspect that Drake has one of those Suzanne Rogers type contracts and just works as needed for about $2500 per episode. Also, from everything I've read of the over the years there is no one more low maintenance than Drake. He likes the show and the people and just wants something to do. He's loaded so at this point it doesn't matter. And then there is the health insurance.

Chandler makes scale. No way he makes anything more than that.

RSW is the wild card. I'm going to guess $3000. He is the show's young lead. He is a very popular actor. He has lots of behind the scenes support. And from everything that I've seen he is well liked and not a trouble maker.

If I had to guess, the top five earners on Days would be:

1) Dee

2) Jackee

3) RSW

4) Billy Flynn

5) a tossup between Greg Vaughan and Arianne Zucker

GH has a long history of mobsters, but the Corinthos story swallowed the show alive sometime around 2000 and has been leeching the lifeforce from it ever since.

Agreed that ABC will keep GH on a ventilator until it's 60th anniversary this April, and then announce it's pulling life support. Haven't watched it in forever, but I'll tune in to see how it all ends. Just waiting for the news.

Unless they are trying to lure a younger audience, DOOL is going to be done. I can’t see many older people dealing with the streaming and paying for the show on top of it. I got into DOOL briefly like 7-8 years ago. It was good until it wasn’t. I was always an ABC fan, but OLTL was the best of them when it was canceled. GH has been horrendous since Sonny took over the show. I haven’t watched it in ages. I think it’ll be moved also, then quietly canceled. The era of Soaps is slowly coming to an end. Eventually the CBS shows will be gone too.

How many times have they recycled their old plots over & over & over? Brought the dead back to life? Marriage & divorced? How many times has Jan Spears been pregnant by dumber than a box of rocks Shawn Brady?

And, will newly resurrected Stefan DiMera demand his original heart back from Julie Williams?

DOOL is dead. The younger people aren’t going to stream 250 episodes a year. Younger people stream 6-10 episodes of a season of a show they can binge. Older people don’t understand streaming and how to get Peacock. This really is in effect, a cancellation of DOOL. It’s dead. This will never work on Peacock. DOOL will start off at 5 episodes a week, then drop down to 4, then 3. This WILL fail. Mark my words.

Deidre Hall for years was the highest paid actor on Days. Although she wasn't getting paid anything near in the territory of what EB on Y&R or Susan Lucci on AMC was getting paid. Alison Sweeney is rumored to have surpassed Deidre to become for some time the highest paid actor on Days.

R78 If that happens, the Chabby and Wilson fans would be very angry. Days homophobic Facebook fans would probably fly into a rage. Some of them are still upset that Dena Higley was never allowed to finish her purge of the gays. Which was one of the reasons why she was brought back.

Supposedly years ago someone high up with ABC said that it was a mistake to have cancelled AMC and OLTL and that they didn't want to go through that again with GH.

If Days does end up cancelled maybe FOWBF can finally appear as a recast Morgan on GH as it almost happened. Even though he is actually older than Chad "DOD" Duell. Where would RSW go because the slot for attractive younger male who can take their shirt at the drop of a hat is already filled by Josh Swickard on GH, his friend Michael Mealor also referred to as Jabottom here on Y&R and Tanner Novlan on B&B.

There was something comforting about watching the same show every day. At the same time a lot of storylines dragged out way too long. I liked soaps that had romance and normal socially relevant storylines. The outlandish stuff never did it for me, nor did GH becoming The Godfather lite. I think they should’ve tried reinventing the genre and doing something like short, self contained series every few months. I think DOOL is done after Peacock and GH will soon follow. The move is to mitigate the fall out from viewers. They don’t want a repeat of when AMC/OLTL was canceled.

Streaming is the way content is being consumed nowadays. Whether DAYS' audience will follow it to streaming (and pay for it) remains to be seen. I doubt it, but I'd be happy to be surprised.

"A new report from market measurement firm Nielsen says that for the first time, TV viewers watched more on streaming services like Netflix and Disney+ than they did on cable TV.

The shift has been predicted by analysts and commentators for years, but it has only now come to fruition. Streaming had previously outpaced over-the-air broadcast TV, but cable was still beating it until July.

In July, streaming accounted for 34.8 percent of audiences' TV viewing. The runner-up was the now-dethroned cable TV, which came up narrowly behind at 34.4 percent. The relatively distant third was broadcast at 21.6 percent."

[quote] I think they should’ve tried reinventing the genre and doing something like short, self contained series every few months.

Port Charles was a poorly-received spin-off of General Hospital and was in ICU when, in a last ditch effort to save the show, they turned to the supernatural and self-contained story arcs of about 9 weeks each. The show built an audience but ultimately not enough to save it.

I have heard others think modeling American soaps after the very successful Latin American soap model of telenovelas would save the genre. Maybe. Certainly shows like Fargo and American Horror Story have done well with self-contained seasons, but I think therein lays the problem. Those shows run for 4-5 months tops and they're done. Daytime soaps would have never ending yet self-contained arcs and I just don't think there's an audience anymore for that level of commitment. There are for more choices and most people under retirement age are not going to commit to 250 hours a year of encapsulated melodrama. "Oh, this arc is all so and so. I'll come back in 9 weeks." Not good.

Plus the other big issue is the writing. There is no there anymore. No emotional resonance or relatable characters. There is no novelty or freshness as each surviving program just plays round-robin with the same tired set of executives and writers. There just so many times a secret evil twin, surprise bastard kids with an axe to grind, presumed death resurrections, or crime witnesses with amnesia that be rotated.

And say goodbye to viewer loyalty and history if they switched to self-contained stories. The epic sweep, saga-like experience of daytime would be eschewed in favor of fast and hot stories that do end.

Frankly, it wouldn't even be the same genre so what's actually being saved?

I don't know if that telenovela style format is necessary but they do need to sharpen their focus and tell a solid main story that can be an umbrella story for multiple cast members and then one or two side storylines.

As a result, DOOL will no longer be available on NBC stations from that point forward.

Soaps toyed with the Telenovela format in the 90s with Port Charles and we saw where that ended up. Most soaps adjusted and went to a 13 week story arc plan, which had pluses and minuses. It meant stories weren't dragged out, but it also meant that soaps no longer played every single beat and got every piece of drama out of a story they could before moving on to the next one. It was also around this time that we lost what I call character moments that soaps used to do so well. These moments weren't integral to story, but just showed you little glimpses of the character.

As someone who briefly worked in daytime, I can understand why they continue to cycle through the same small pool of (often, hack) writers.

It’s hard and complicated to churn out five scripts a week for these shows. In addition to creating compelling stories and spooling them out in an entertaining way, the writers have to manage usage of cast members vis and vis their guarantees and work with a limited number of sets per day. It’s actually more involved than you can imagine. Often, you have actors you don’t currently need (they may be on the back burner after big stories) who are way below their guarantees so you have to figure out how to utilize them. It’s a whole lot.

A new head writer is a huge gamble. Many talented people have come in and been unable to keep up, and they can really mess up a show in the process.

It's possible they may go back into the scripts that have been written but not yet filmed and add a few "Shit" and "Fucks" to the dialogue. Bit again, that won't be until February.

As for taping the existing scripts, they likely will start doing ass shots and other more risque things once they start taping again. But we won't see that until February.

That's true of daytime in general. The #1 show in 18-49 (The Price is Right) has a 0.4 rating in 18-49. Days has a 0.2 rating.

The problem for Days (and other soaps) is that it's more expensive to produce than game shows, talks shows and news shows.

I'm actually kind of surprised that GH hasn't already been experimenting with the same kind of streaming-only spin-off as Days has done with Beyond Salem. After all, they already did "General Hospital: Night Shift" on SOAPnet some 15 years ago and it proved successful. They could even rerun Night Shift 1 and 2 leading into a Season 3 of the limited series.

Days has already proven to be a streaming success. It was the top rated show on NBC.com, which is why they moved it to Peacock to get eyeballs over there. The BS series has been a hit for Peacock and the audience who is already watching on Peacock isn't going anywhere.

If you look at the demographic breakdown of the ratings. There is not that much difference between the shows. Y&R and B&B have big (for the time) household numbers, but you don't sell ads based on household numbers.

NBC can target viewers and set ads based on the individual with Peacock and still bring in the same type of ad revenue.

I do expect there will eventually be changes to the show, which is fine. A tighter cast and fewer episodes a year, again that's fine. The five day/52 week model is as outdated as the 22 episode a season model in primetime.

Either this is going to work or it won't. If it doesn't, we get another year of the show. If it does, great.

Days was moved to PeaCOCK because it can't compete with the ad revenue being brought in by the news-infotainment segment. Last week in Variety:

[quote] Both “GMA3” and “Days of Our Lives” are supported largely by the ad dollars of big pharmaceutical companies hoping to reach older Americans. But the soap opera won about $30.8 million in advertising last year, according to Kantar, a tracker of ad spending, compared with about $43.4 million for “GMA3” — a difference of around 40.9%. In the first quarter of 2022, “Days” generated about $4.2 million, while “GMA3” took in nearly $11.9 million — a massive gap of 183.3%.

I'm guessing that Days might be "top rated" at NBC.com on occasion, simply due to the QUANTITY of episodes they put up. Since it puts out 20+ episodes per month that necessarily allows for more total streams of the show to occur. IOW, you might have one unique viewer making 20+ visits and accomplishing 20+ streams.

I remember back in the day when Nielsen would occasionally release its Videocensus numbers for streaming stats. The daytime soaps would look in the "total streams" column, but would lag in the "total unique viewers" column.

R271 ABC had already owned OLTL and AMC outright for a very long time before they were cancelled. Then they licensed them to a third party and had to spend probably more than it would have cost to have kept them in production to clear up the shit they created.

I would say that while hulu hasn't done a GH spinoff like Peacock did with DAYS, GH is known to be one of their better performing shows and has value because it draws viewers to the platform daily, even when abc primetime shows are in reruns.

Though I question how good hulu's ad targeting software really is. In the past I've purchased highly targeted ads for a political campaign through them, GH was one of the shows they pushed at us, and now I don't know if I would again. I shouldn't be getting ads for candidates in other states, nor should I be getting ads in multiple languages.

GH had two spin-offs on ABC . Neither lasted for long. People end up watching GH on hulu because ABC cuts into it all the time for Trump nonsense or Joe Biden signing a bill or Jan 6th hearings. Cut into Tamron Hall or local news for that. In early COVID days , in Chicago, Gov. LARDASS and his Public Health Team cut into GH everyday at 2:30 pm for three months straight. The Doctor would start in English and then Spanish. They could have waited until Inside Edition and Jeopardy but the voters in assisted living started calling the station.

If you have a dvd-player/recorder then you can buy/license a software program designed to download videos from streaming services. The program would store the video file on your computer and you should then be able to burn a dvd from that file.

One program that I'm familiar with is StreamingGaGa. They interface over 100 streaming sties, and Peaccock is one of them. I just tested it and had no problem downloading an episode of DAYS. I then copied that video file from my computer to a DVD. Again, I had no problem, and the DVD played perfectly fine.

They currently license their program, and you can buy by month or year, etc. Their current deal is $4.99 per month for 12-months, so about $60/year. You can test it out as they allow you to download three videos to try it out.

This isn't a recommendation, but I believe this is the type of service you need to look for. There are probably quite a few "Video Downloaders" on the market. KeepStreams is another product. (Their prices look comparable.) My only recommendation would be to make sure Peacock is supported and that the copied video can be transferred to a DVD. and that the DVD can be played properly with video and audio in synch.

R333 It's not quite the same as AMC and OLTL. ABC owned those shows. They'd already made the decision to cancel the shows and shut production down. And another party (Prospect Park) came in and tried to reinvent the wheel.

But due to Days production schedule, the owners, Corday-Sony, have already produced something like six months of the show for NBC. .. And even though NBC wants to alter it's daytime broadcast schedule right now, they'd be pretty stupid to not do SOMETHING with those 120+ episodes. .. Plus, the current licensing contract is just another six months away. If NBC-Peacock wants to give Days up this coming February, then at that point, they'll have the next 120+ episodes ready to take them to the end of the 2022-23 season, and the current licensing contract will be totally satisfied.

So we have gays, lesbians, youngs and olds having sex on Days. Loving it.

R344... yes, I believe so. In real life there is a 26 age difference between lauren koslow (kate) and brandon barash (jake)....

Unfortunately, Never thought Barash was all that good looking, built or sexy so it kind of didn't live up to the sexy dirty wicked hot of much older horny woman with horny young built handsome stud dynamic...Even better? is a storyline where the much older woman tricks, blackmails, drugs, seduces the stud who fights it but succumbs... Makes it that much hotter dirtier and more of a power trip than a simple may/december relationship that is mutually wanted on both participants.

I watched DOOL for a couple of months back around 1979-80 (summer off from school). I developed a mad crush on Wesley Eure. But also, even though I was about 12 years old, I was convinced that Bill Hayes was an old hammy queen. Was he gay in real? Or was just an extraordinarily effeminate heterosexual? Yes, I know he's been married twice and has five kids. But my goodness... he made Tony Randall look like Mercedes McCambridge.

Have you sent an email to StreamGaGa to ask about the issue? Their response (or lack thereof) may provide input as to whether you decide to go with them.

As I said in the original reply, StreamGaGa is just one of many Video Downloader interfaces out there. You just have to find one that includes Peacock in their current program offerings and test things out on your end. With Peacock hosting the Days' episodes for a year, you don't really need to worry about missing something, so if you need to look around for another program and determine if it works on your end, you've got plenty of time. Two others I've heard of, read about, but have no experience with are:

[quote] Network television really doesn’t deserve to survive if they’re going to show nothing but news, talk and game shows.

Broadcast television essentially ended 10 years ago when the nation converted to digital TV. There is no more over the airwaves TV on any significant level. During the last decade the remaining five networks (six if you count PBS) have gradually eroded into irrelevance. The programs people talk about are for the most part airing on cable (also dying quickly) or more and more on streaming channels. NBC, CBS, and ABC are essentially streaming channels now just like Apple, Netflix, and Prime -- but soon to be eclipsed.

I don't think DOOL will survive, but objectively moving soaps to streaming makes a lot more sense than letting them rot to death on the "networks".

For all the poor, disadvantaged proletariat out there, that wacky Russian guy is still loading the current episode of Days on Dailymotion. He's also the one who puts the day-ahead episode of Y&R up from Canada for those viewers who feel like falling asleep 24 hours before everyone else.

I've noticed that if you watch 3 or 4 Days episodes in a row on Peacock -- no stopping and starting, just letting the episodes play without any interruptions --- that the number of commercials in each episode begins diminishing and usually the 3rd or 4th episode will be commercial free.

One time, I had to stop in the middle of a commercial free episode to go run errands. When I returned home and resumed watching the episode, it was no longer commercial free.

On Sunday, every Days episode from the past year was available On Demand, including the Sept. 9 episode, the final broadcast episode.

On Wednesday, three days later, there are probably on about 25 or so episodes available On Demand. It's a scattershot mix of episodes here and there, the old from back in February. The newest from late August.

Didn't realize NBC and my cable provider, Spectrum, would purge Days episodes so quickly after the move to Peacock.

DOOL ended its run on NBC with 1.679 million viewers. That's slightly better than the population of Philadelphia.

Meanwhile, for that same week, General Hospital garnered 2.050 million. I hope those actors are making future plans.

But more than numbers, it's also demographics. The vast majority of viewers are over 50, and by quite a bit. And worse yet, those shows are so incredibly expensive compared to game shows, talk shows, and news fluff.

[quote]Wesley Eure: It was an odd time. Patty Weaver, who was on DAYS OF OUR LIVES [as Trish], used to hang out with me and my friends and had a lot of gay friends, then she moved over to her show [THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS] and married an older man who was a writer, Bill Bell's good friend, and suddenly she cut all the gay men out of her life.

Interesting how Bill Bell cast so many former Days actors on his shows in the 1980s -- Patty Weaver joined Y&R as Gina Roma, Tracy Bregman joined as Lauren Fenmore, Susan Seaforth Hayes joined as Joanna Manning (Lauren's mother). And on B&B, he cast Susan Flannery as matriarch Stephanie Forrester.

Yet, despite this, Bill Bell did NOT cast Wesley Eure on Y&R. It was Bill Bell who cast Wesley as Mike Horton on Days in 1974. He knew how popular the Wesley was. Knew how good an actor he was. Seems like Bell would have jumped to bring Wesley to Genoa City. Unless homophobia figured into his decision.

But anyway, what are some of the 20something roles on Y&R in the early 80s that Wesley could have played?

By early 80s, Eure would have have been in his 30s, and he was kinda short (5'7) to be lead (imho). Leading men on Y&R tended to be model height (at least 6' or more).

I could maybe have seen Eure as "Tim Sullivan," the college professor who knocked up star pupil, Traci Abbott. I think co-ed Traci started taking Tim's class in 1983 and got pregnant by him in1984 (later having a miscarriage due an argument with Patty Williams over gay Danny having only married Traci, so she wouldn't be seen as a scandalous unwed mother)! The actor who played Tim was Scott Palmer, who had also had a prior role on DOOL playing "Joshua Fallon."

R570 - In his day, Gregg Marx was divine. And yes, family.

I completely forgot that Danny was originally in Tracey's story. How did he transition to the teen story with Cricket and all of that crew.

R589 When Bell had Lauralee on during the summers before she became regular, she was seen as this little teeny-bopper who was younger than the 18-20 year old set of Danny, Patty, Traci, Lauren. She even had to have a legal guardian at that point. Enter Cousin Joe Blair. When she became regular, Cricket was mainly played with her peers Nina and Phillip. They would of course attend Danny Romalotti concerts, with Cricket knowing "the famous rock star," so she had access.. lol! .. As I recall, the main way they worked Danny into this younger set was that insecure Phillip saw Danny as this successful, confident guy who had it made and figured Cricket must be attracted to a popular guy like that. When Nina got pregnant with Phillip's baby, and eventually married him, that left Cricket open to seeing other guys, Danny being one of them. Rapist Derek Stuart being another. With Phillip being involved with Nina, it was mainly Danny who held Cricket's hand through the date rape ordeal. At least that's what I remember. Scott Grainger, who she learned was her half-brother, was also around.

^^^ They should add to the Gay Phillip retcon, and say that he and Chase Benson were fucking on the downlow, with Chase fully aware that Phillip faked his death in order to go lead his best gay life ever Down Under.

And after "Phillip Langley" settled in to his new identity there, Chase accepted his 1991 invitation to attend Gay Mardi Gras in Sydney and never returned -- finally revealing why Chase just up and disappeared from Genoa City one day. Chase found Mr. Right go-go dancing in a jock strap on a float and decided to stay there.

R591 - Looks like she interrupted a fourgy being filmed for Catalina Video circa 1988

R591 I actually remember that Y&R Valentine's Day episode featuring Cricket Blair and her four beaus. She was in her tiny apartment, and throughout the show, each guy came knocking on her door to give her a Valentine's gift and tell her how Incredible & Amazing and Beautiful & Talented she was. .. At this point, she was still the Virgin Cricket Blair, so the question was would she ever give it up to one of these gay boys? .. And there was actually a FIFTH guy sniffing around her as well who's not included in that SOD photo shoot. It was "Derek Stuart" played by actor, Ken Olandt, and he would go on to become the evil perpetrator of her date rape. .. Around the same time, she found out that Scott Grainger (Peter Barton) was actually her half-brother, and within a few months Phillip (Thom Bierdz) was killed off (or so we thought, RME.)

The Bells had a bizarre explanation why Cricket drove so much story - she was no. 1 in fan mail. I am sure she elicited a lot of letters, 65% of which had to be negative. When you give your darling little girl a spot on your tv show, convince her leading man to 'date her' (I guess Michael Damian had to swallow a lot) perception is out the window

At least Tori Spelling was campy.

Wasn't that the reason Terry Lester left? The show became The Young and the Cricket.

by Anonymousreply 596September 24, 2022 8:23 PM

R596 Yes, but Lester later issued an apology to Lauralee for what he'd said, which she graciously accepted. It was written about in SOD. .. But of course, many viewers still saw the absolute truth to his original complaint .. lol!

Tori also managed to keep working in mostly respectable projects outside of her dad's influence. Lauralee Bell doesn't even land cameos on Hallmark movies.

Lauralee is probably counting daddy's residuals, and looks like she's doing fine.

Lauralee has always seemed like a lovely woman.
