*8/2/2022 update: Days of Our Lives is moving to Peacock in September.
Sadly after watching this show from day 1 I will now not be able to watch it. Sure there are some stupid story lines that I disliked but all in all it was my entertainment. I’m certain ratings will now drop due to so many people not willing to pay to see it when we already pay for tv and the show will end up cancelled. Big mistake
Removing Days from NBC is awful!! They will lose so many viewers! Many people can’t or won’t pay for streaming. What a awful thing to do to the viewers. I use to like NBC but they will lose my vote now too!!
I hope everyone will come to their senses and bring it back to NBC!!!!
You guys to Rycicle the same theams over agean. And your Writers must share a Bondage Fantasy .
Alex is Fabulous! He brought life into the show. Kristen and her story line is great!! So happy to end the stupid Devil crap!! The stories now have meaning!!
Bring on more Alex!! He is Brilliant!!
I am sorry to see the show going to streaming. I have been unhappy to watch lately. I agree with Donna to bring back Ben Weston as another character so soon after he sailed away with Ciara is ridiculous, I have been watching the show since my oldest son, who is 54, was born. It’s always the same thing’ People rising from the dead, demonic posession, people jumping in bed anytime of the day, children no where to be seen, etc, I do realize this is only a story but there were never people that weren’t rich. I will not… Read more »
After watching this show for 57 years, it will end when it goes to a streaming service. Will miss this show so much. Most of my elderly friends will not pay monthly to continue watching. Sad for so many viewers.
Not hapy that itsmoving to peacock guess I won’t be watching it anymore
I have watched since their first episode and have to say I have been disappointed with it these past several months. And now..to bring “Ben weston” back as another person..!!??!? Completely crazy ! Maybe in several yrs they could pull that off, but just as soon as he leaves as Ben..come on !!! Couldn’t find another actor ?!?!
I truly enjoy soap operas, and aside from certain sports events, they’re about the only TV I watch. My absolute favorite, nothing comes close is Days of Our Lives. Many types of people, occupations, standards of living, income levels – it’s all portrayed and storylines created on Days. Renew, renew, renew. I don’t want any more game shows and I sure don’t want anymore talk show with “celebrities “ yammering on and on about nothing.
I started watching about 5 years ago really liked the show. The story line about the Devil was so boring. The break up of Jake and Gabby what a big mistake they made a interesting couple. Favorites Eli and Lonnie gone. Paulina what a breath of fresh air losing her will be another sad day for days. You need to do something. You need to listen to your viewers hopefully days will be on long past 2023
Please keep the soapies going it’s the only thing that us oldies enjoy
Marci Miller was one of the best actresses to happen to that show in a long time. The other storylines like the devil etc? Dumb just dumb.
My last straw with this show is when you kill Abigail how stupid like who writes the show. First of all the devil’s storyline was so damn annoying I felt like I was watching Buffy the devil flair and not a very good one either. Secondly how many times do y’all make Nicole get around town like she’s been with everyone on that damn show I mean give her a break hell let her stay with Eric for a bit there’s no more super couples on there it’s just boring at least you had Chad and Abigail. Now you’re ruining… Read more »
Please bring back Days of our lives on dstv.
Thanks
This show used to be SO fun to watch. Now, it’s laughable just how RIDICULOUS it is. The devil? Again??? And don’t even get me started on Andre coming back from the dead for the bazillionth time. All the actors I remember as a kid are gone. It’s just a bunch of prepubescent kids
