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 . . .
I have been watching Days since I was seven. My mom was always watching it and got me hooked. I would definately completely feel isolated without watching Days. It is like a daily routine!!!
I too have been watching the show since I was a child. However, I feel that they are almost asking to be cancelled. The show has become so ridiculous it is unbelievable. I wish they would go back to the storylines that they used to and stop changing all the characters. I want to enjoy watching Days again!
you crazy if you cancell Day of our life, It the onlt soap I watch
Don’t get rid of Days of our lives. I love this soap. I would love to see baby Claire grow up, and Theo. I would be saddened if this soap was no more. So Please Please, Don’t get rid of this Soap
I’ve been watching Days for over 20 years I don’t care if it gets canceled or not. This new head writer has improved it but has a long ways to go to ever be as great as it once way. The show may never recover from the disasterous Jim Reilly years.
Don’t cancel Days….. it just needs some major help with its story lines it is getting a little chessy but I love it. I used to watch it with my 70 year old grandmother when I was little and she know that I watch it and she constantly asks me what is going on in Salem That is so cool b/c that is one of the things that I have in common with her!!!!!!!! Please say Days!!!!!!!!!
Oh Crap!! What will daytime TV be without “Days.” This show has saved my sanity over some particularly stressful years while taking care of my elderly father suffering from progressive senile dementia. I love this show and its wonderful cast. Please leave DOOL on the air. Negotiate the darn fee. If NBC can come up with the money for shows like Entertainment Tonight and America’s Got Talent and the truly terrible Apprentice, surely “Days” can be funded.
Well…since the mass exit of a few of my favorite characters, I will not be extremely bothered if Days were to be cancelled. Let me share my “Days” story: I began watching Days in college as I was earning a living as a waitress. During our “after the lunch rush” break, all of the other waitresses would demand that we turned on Days in the bar. I made fun of them as well as the storyline. At the time, Marlena was possessed. Well, I soon moved on from my waitressing job. I was a poor graduate student without the luxuries… Read more »

Please dont cancel. This is the only soap I like.
Please don’t take Days away. It keeps me going. I have to see this everyday. I even rewatch it on Sunday nites. Days is more popular than everyone may think.
I have been watching Day’s ever since I can remember. My grandmother started watching it, then my mom, and then both my sister and I. The actors are almost like family in a strange way. It would be awful if it went off the air. I would truly be upset. Please don’t cancel the show!!
