*8/2/2022 update: Days of Our Lives is moving to Peacock in September.
I started to watch Days of our lives from I was a teenager but now I don’t watch it anymore, too much going on with demon on the show so I stop watching it.
I have watched Days for over 40 years. Still love it.
I really loves days of our lives but this part with the devil got to go first Marlena now Johnny don’t think so.
I totally agree
I love watching Days of our lives. I have been watching Days for 42 years. I record it when I can’t watch it. Please DO NOT cancel Days.
I love Days.please don’t cancel it. I agree with the other viewers about the devil issue. Get rid of him.
Please renew Days of Our Lives. I’ve been watching this show since 1968 or 1969.
Disgusting devil story line. After 40 years watching, I will not be a fan until this story line ends. Get new writers!
I am over 50 yes old and I would be devastated if Days was taken off the air… and would be really mad if it moved to Peacock !!! I live in Canada and I don’t think we even get Peacock here, and I don’t think I would even pay yet another streaming service! Please keep Days where it is!!
Maybe DOOL should move to SYFY. I HATE the Devil possession..not realistic. Can’t the writers do better than this?
I agree! Its gotten old about the devil! They have run it to the ground! Enough is enough! I am catching myself turning it off when they started up on it again after Marlene was set free. Come on! It’s old. Can not the writer’s come up with something more creative! Halloween is gone! I hated the devil possession. Tiresome!
RENEWED
I would be heart broken if y’all cancel I have been watching since you were starting ever since the first episode.
Days of our lives is by far the best soap opera on tv It should definitely keep being renewed I love watching it!
Renew
DOOL can be cancelled if they keep on with the Devil story line. I’ve quit watching it since they brought that story line on. I was a long time fan but not anymore.
Watched since came on the air. Now 83. The devil story I hoped would end after Halloween. Nope got worse at Thanksgiving. Christmas Tree has Angel burn up. Traditional Horton tree hanging of ornaments was another bummer. Think it is finally all over and satan is back in hell only to have the last show of year have it possess another victim. That did it. I always wish Sammy and Lucas would get back together but not like this. Yes soaps are suppose to make you cry but this possession makes cringe. So today when Days came on the TV… Read more »
Well things could be worse…. over on General Hospital, they just killed off THE single most important person in the history of the entire show, for no reason at all. Just one month after killing off another major legacy character.
Believe me, my extra curricular activities with Marlena & her grandson don’t have anything on that level of stupidity.
