Days of Our Lives: Are the Hours Numbered for the NBC Soap?
Hang onto your seats soap fans! Dr. Marlena Evans and the Brady and Horton families may be in trouble again — and this time, there may not be an escape!
An industry source has recently reported that NBC is considering canceling the long-running soap opera, Days of Our Lives. NBC has aired the soap for all of its incredible 40+ year run but does not actually own the series.
Word is that NBC feels that the licensing fee it pays to the production company is too high (based on the show’s ratings). If a lower fee can’t be negotiated, the series may end at the end. One source has said that the current contract runs until 2009 but there is a clause in it that would allow NBC to terminate the show as early as the Spring of 2007.
I’ll be on the lookout for new developments. Stay tuned . . .

My mom watched this show from like 15 years old to about 30. She stopped watching when it got to weird, my grandmom watches the show everyday, has since it started and she is so confused by it. So it’s a tradition to watch Days, but after all the confusion and going to school everyday, I just can’t anymore, almost everyone has “died” and came back, it’s getting old, they are repeating the drama it’s stupid, it needs a good end.

I have been watching Days of our Lives since I was 13. I have seen many people grow up on Days. Hope was so young when I started watching it. I was watching when McDonald Carey was on(miss him). I have seen Samy grow up. Nemorous others have come and gone that we either miss a lot or loved seeing go. My Grandmother used to watch Days and got me watching it too. Im now 38 years old and have a 10 month old and a new baby on the way. My one hour of days a day is my relax time. Please don’t cancel the show!

Please do not take off Days of Our Lives. We are living in turbulant times and need some since of “home” in our lives. How can I explain to someone that these characters are our family. We love on the air and in their personal lives. I believe this will be icing on the cake for the shape our country is in.

Please don’t cancel Days. I’ve ben watching it for 38 years. It’s the ONLY daytime show to watch. I record it everyday so I can watch when I get home. They feel like my own family. If days is cancelled I never watch anything else on NBC.

Don’t cancel the show just get back to the old storylines that were interesting….For example marlena/kristen/susan stuff like that was humorous yet dramatic…keep the show the fans and the actors deserve to allow it to get better…refer to the 90’s for storylines give old ones a twist the new teen scene isn’t working it lasted from 1999-2003 and was done move on now one wants these new characters…

Please don’t end Days of our lives. And please reconcile Bo and Hope quickly, Kayla and Steve, and Sami and Lucas. Now lets deal with the children and other issues..

It is a very captivating TV soup, would be really a shame to terminate it on the viewer’s expense. It should continue just for the sake of all the million viewers world wide.
