Summer DOOL- John's dead... now what?

This show is painful to watch these....days.

The new writers made everything dull as dishwater......

DOOL?

DROOL.

DOOL!

The John and the wedding eps were great because they had people we actually know and care about. I fear everything is going to be a let down now

[quote] The new writers made everything dull as dishwater.....

Ditchwater.

Why don't they bring back Peter Blake to stir shit up?

I’m laughing at all the morons who swore that the show would be better now that women were writing the show. lol

And even if they changed it today, it would be 10 months before anyone would see it!

What is the point of Stacy Haiduk? Get rid of her and Galen Gering and Josh Taylor.

The show has unfortunately become background noise for me. I really needed the camp and over-the-top antics to keep my attention. DOOL isn't on network or even cable and they've never really taken advantage of this.

I'm still giving the new writers a chance. It's still early, but you can see where they're laying the groundwork for stories. I am curious where they're going with this One Stormy Night book story and what EJ's big plan for the hospital is.

I agree that the show doesn't take advantage of being on Peacock and modernizing the language and the stories, but then I remember that Days still has to sell the show to foreign markets, so they want to keep it as close to a network broadcast as possible.

I still can't believe Paul and Andrew HUGGED instead of kissed at their wedding.

NuWriters!

What, no jokes about Felicity falling off the balance beam?

Yeah, I'm not really paying attention to this snoozefest anymore, either.

When does Sami come back?

and is she bringing Sydney??

I know that Shawn and Caroline still loved John after he was revealed to not be ROman... DId John continue to call them Ma and Pop for the rest of their lives or did he stop at some point?

John called Caroline Brady by the name "Carolyn" after it was revealed she wasn't his biological mother. Thereby, John mispronounced the name of the woman he at one time thought was his mother.

But in fairness, half the town referred to her as "Carolyn" seeming to think that was the proper pronunciation of name Caroline,

Caroline and Carolyn are in fact two separate names with two separate pronunciations. The pronunciations are not interchangeable. Neither are the spellings.

One Stormy Night reminds me of the Body & Soul mess. Come on, NuWriters. Do better.

My concerns exactly, R21!

NuWriters are Lous-ers on Melaswen.

One Stormy Night sounds like a gothic mystery and not a steamy love story. Lousy title in keeping with the lack of imagination on this program. And when they actually write an episode that works on many levels (Paul and Andrew's wedding), they have to obliterate it by not having the couple kiss but just hug. Sadly, I think this show is lurching toward a most unsatisfying conclusion.

One Stormy Night was the name of a Days primetime episode that aired in January 1992 immediately before the Soap Opera Digest Awards.

Days usually won a lot of those Soap Digest Awards, so it was a natural to do a primetime episode of Days immediately before the awards.

...

I think he played Victoria's BF on Y&R

Is this site reliable? WHo would he play?

R25 We know that one stormy night was a title of the primetime episode. That doesn’t make it less Body & Soul memories.

SOD confirmed the hiring in r27

NuStefan?

Nu Scotty Banning?

Nu Max Brady?

Nu Joey Johnson?

One of Adrienne and Justin's twins?

Nu Jeremey Horton?

Nu Nathan Horton?

Nu Theo Carver?

Nu Nicholas Alamain?

Marlena and John's long-rumored 1986 baby?

Sami in disguise?

Extended summer preview.

Looks promising.

that looks good!

Agreed. I have not been feeling too optimistic lately.

That preview does look good.

Time for nuNuKristen.

but it looks good because they have people we love and who we want to see like Sami, Mike, Will et al

An actual courtroom set?!?!?!?

courtROOM

Have Dougie and Shawn D interacted? They are cousins

[quote] Who would he play?

Is Roark too old to be paired with Marlena?

She does seem to go for older men.

[quote] They are cousins.

Aren't DW3 and ShawnD half-cousins? That should make things somewhat less awkward if Power Bottom Shawn and Alpha Top Doug find each other on Delve and decide to go for it.

Let’s Delve into that.

Doesn’t a half first cousin just become a second cousin? One shared grandparent…

Is Andre even talking about the episodes anymore?

Andre now discusses the Iran war and diddy sentencing.

[quote] Doesn’t a half first cousin just become a second cousin? One shared grandparent

R43 No. Second cousins are the children of two people who are first cousins. And what this means is that each of these second cousins has a grandparent who is the sibling of the other's grandparent.

Example: Will Whoreton and Tate Black are second cousins because their respective mothers, Sami Brady and Theresa Donovan, are first cousins. As such, Will's grandfather, Roman Brady, and Tate's grandmother, Kimberly Brady Donovan, are siblings.

R43 - First cousins share a set of grandparents. Second cousins share a set of common great grandparents.

Andrew Donovan is the uncle of Tate through his mother and Paul Narita is the uncle of Tate through his father.

I love Melinda and Sophia together. I find it curious that she didn't decide to use the baby to hold on to Tate. I also like Leo and Javi getting the baby. Leo is much more interesting now that he's not Ron's avatar.

I have to be honest, I'm still giving the new writing team time, but I'm not mad at the show right now. I find it very watchable. I love the Maggie and Xander scenes.

Aihpos Adnilem is the Greek Orthodox Church…

on Melaswen.

My sources are telling me the show is going to "honor" the memory of John by introducing his (and Marlenas) long lost child. Yes, Marlena was pregnant when she disappeared back in 1986. That's why Tony (and Anna) are mixed into the storyline.

I totally agree with you, R49 regarding Melinda and Sophia. I wish Melinda was used more often as she plays comedy, bitch, and motherly with ease.

When are Connie and Cardboard Li returning?

R47, sharing a set of great grandparents is essentially sharing one grandparent. It’s the same extent of relationship but not too worried about it.

R46, don’t you worry your precious self about complicated issues.

[quote] Andrew Donovan is the uncle of Tate through his mother and Paul Narita is the uncle of Tate through his father.

Tate should consider applying for work at SAY UNCLE!

I cannot believe they have not brought back Li. I never realized how much I liked him until he was gone.

After watching today's episode, I think Holly and Tate are the weakest of all the teens. I like Sophia, DWIII, and who would have thought that Ari would be such a little minx?

Great reintroduction of Gwen. I wonder if she's going to end up with Xander to get custody of Victoria?

They definitely are, R57 - they are pretty faces but one dimensional. NuSophia has grown into the role nicely. DWIII and Ari have way more interesting roles beyond being "teens."

DwIII got canned.

For showing his can? And pole?

Did Holly get a nose job? I just watched the June 17 (or thereabouts) episode and barely recognized her.

Watch out Gwen! Julie's latest facelift reads "I'll cut a bitch!"

Poor Chad. The only more pointless character on this show is Stephanie.

Who is actually still watching this show aside from 3 people here? No one subscribes to Peacock.

"As of early 2025, Peacock has 41 million paid subscribers, according to The Verge."

This show is so bad now. Not one interesting storyline. How I long for the days of Stefano and his prisms.

[quote]Is Roark too old to be paired with Marlena?

Never say never.

(R65) I could not agree more. Tuesday's show was a snoozefest throughout. I could not believe that on July 8, the show's action is still on July 4.

Alex and Stephanie's scenes seemed to drag endlessly and there was no energy and ultimately no interest.

Gwen's return was anticlimactic, and I frankly think that the only upcoming return that might jolt this tired old dinosaur into something resembling life, is Sami's return. Alison manages to bring the kind of energy to her role that was once normal for a soap. Gwen was DOA as far as I was concerned. There was nothing multidimensional about her scenes. I would never have thought I would use the word dull to describe Emily or her characterization but that's what it was. She, Chad and Julie did nothing g with the scene and I hope Gwen's stay is very short unless they plan to surprise us by making her someone interesting again.

I'll stick it out through Sami's return but the pacing, writing and lack of imaginative storytelling may finally dull my interest after decades of watching.

[quote]I could not believe that on July 8, the show's action is still on July 4.

Yes, it's outrageous!

STOOL sample

[quote]I could not believe that on July 8, the show's action is still on July 4

One time, Passions was still celebrating Christmas Eve on Dec. 31. That's an extreme example, but soaps often extend their holiday observances past a single episode.

And if there's a pre-emption just before a holiday, it can throw the schedule off even more. Days doesn't have to worry about pre-emptions now that its on Peacock, but its the writer's prerogative to extend a holiday into multiple episodes.

Are those women who replaced Ron still writing the show? 10 more months of this glacial pacing (and Kayla) sounds daunting.

Agree that Stephanie (and her romance novel) should be buried six feet under.

When do we get the next Plan to Save Days?

It's too difficult to tell now that SOD is no longer at the supermarket checkout.

Soap time exists outside our reality when pregnancies can last 15 months and kids age 10 years at summer camp. One day on a show can span several weeks in our own real time. There are probably 2-3 months passed in a soap year.

I don't the find the show bad. I like Leo/Javi and Baby Tesoro, which spills over into the teen quad and Melinda. I'm also not upset about the Xander/Sarah story. Not everything is perfect, but the show is way better than it was. I wish they would end the business stories, Days has never been that show.

[quote]Alex and Stephanie's scenes seemed to drag endlessly and there was no energy and ultimately no interest.

Alex and Stephanie don't have chemistry. In fact, Alex has been kind of a bust as a character. I think they should bring on a new love interest for Alex and put Stephanie with Xander or Phillip.

Did they change writing team again after Ron’s replacements?

Just remember and keep repeating, No Body & Soul, No Body & Soul No Body & Soul ....

Where are the stories?

I've actually enjoyed Gwen's return, R67. I love her being a caddy bitch and was totally caught off guard that she was the one who had Julie's necklace.

"I'll make her my caddy bitch!"

There’s really no reason to still be making this show. Some dinky streaming platform that makes no money and is always on the verge of bankruptcy doesn’t justify keeping this crap on.

Jan Spears at R82 .

Connie Viniski @ R83

I know JJ and Gwen met before he knew she was his sister(I think he hit on her) but have they had scenes since he found out she's his sister?

Days actors get 3 out of 5 of the Lead Actor nominations for Daytime Emmys. Zero for Lead Actress.

Peter Bergman as Jack Abbott The Young and the Restless (CBS)

Eric Martsolf as Brady Black Days of Our Lives (Peacock)

Greg Rikaart as Leo Stark Days of Our Lives (Peacock)

Paul Telfer as Xander Kiriakis Days of Our Lives (Peacock)

Dominic Zamprogna as Dante Falconeri General Hospital (ABC)

And now, Outstanding Daytime Drama Series…

Days of Our Lives Peacock

General Hospital ABC

The Young and the Restless CBS [Sony Pictures Television]

How on earth does Eric Martsolf get multiple Emmy nominations? He’s a barely passable soap opera actor.

Telfer was so good in his batshit mother Fiona storyline. Hope he wins.

Martsolf seems like a really nice guy, but I don’t feel he’s a great actor. I don’t know how in the hell he won an Emmy previously. I find him hammy.

[quote] I don’t know how in the hell he won an Emmy previously. I find him hammy.

It was his scenes opposite Eileen Davidson that he won for. She tends to bring out the best in her costars.

When Paul Telfer joined Days in March 2015 at henchman/himbo Xander, I never would have imagined him as one of the leads of the show, much less getting a Best Actor nod!

Glad Ron saw that in him and moved him into the leading man role. And bravo to Telfer on his nomination.

Was anyone nominated besides Paul Telfer an actual lead actor in this year?

[quote] It was his scenes opposite Eileen Davidson that he won for. She tends to bring out the best in her costars.

This.

I believe Eric Martsolf was also nominated for lead actor (inexplicably IMO)

These awards are for calendar year 2024 and if you look at Queen Jason's episode counts for that period, you can see who qualifies as lead just based on number of episodes played. .. Leo Stark? LOOL!

1. Dan Feuerriegel (EJ DiMera) 104

3. Deidre Hall (Marlena Black-82/Hattie Adams-11) 92

Greg rikaart 69 lol

Greg Rikkart is very beloved among his peers. He did great work as the headwriter of Body & Soul. Go Greg! He is the lead of DOOL. Deidre voted for Greg.

People who watch soap operas are embarrassing

^ Who woke up the cunt?

[quote] LOOL!

LOOL! :)

NO Emmy nomination for over acting Susie Seaforth Hayes!

Susan Hayes just put out a statement over the outrage of her not getting an Emmy nomination. She said that she’s stunned that anyone cares.

Has Susie Dey commented yet?

SSH should have been nominated... did she submit herself in lead or supporting?

Let's face it. Generally, SSH is pretty hammy and has never met a piece of scenery that she doesn't want to take a bite out of.

And she loved Bill so much that I can see where she's perfectly satisfied with the Lifetime Achievement Daytime Emmys that they were both awarded in 2018.

Rikaart getting a nom in lead is a real stretch.

And while I see that Annalynne McCord technically meets the parameters for "emerging talent," it just seems eye-rolling given that she's been acting for 20 years and was basically the star of 90210, which ran from 2008-13.

I would prefer to see Javi in that emerging position, or any position for that matter.

You may not like the Leo character, and that's fine, but Greg has done some fine work on the show. I would have said more supporting than lead, but this is hardly the first time an actor has been nominated in the wrong category.

Rikkart for the win!

Javi is growing on me

That’s just your cock, R110.

Javi always looks dirty & smelly.

Gwen’s english accent is like something you’d hear in a high school play.

Or during a Madonna interview c.1998

Thing is, Emily O'Brien is British and born in Bedfordshire, England.

Didn't she give some interview wherein she talked about her accent and playing or not playing it? Maybe when she started playing Theresa?

Emily's accent is fine when she's playing Gwen.

It was the Teresa accent that came and went, especially when she first started playing the role.

Haters gonna hate.

Look at Days breaking out a nice-looking courtroom set. You go, Tom Early.

Ron out at “Beyond the Gates”. Please stay away from Salem…

Maybe he and Deena can create their own show “Nights of our Deaths”, since they both collectively, creatively almost killed DOOL.

Aside from Body and Soul, I was very happy with what Ron did at Days.

And Ron's tenure was certainly more exciting than what we are currently enduring at Days.

And it was thousands of time better than the tripe Dena Higley was penning.

Yeah, I was a big Ron fan at OLTL, and through most of his GH and all of DAYS except (wait for it) B&S. What's airing now is boring and definitely intended for the fraus.

Days is so boring without Ron. Come back to Days!!

Y&R needs a dose of Ron.

Dena is a psycho and can’t write for shit. She told Days fans to go fuck themselves and that she would never return. Everyone cheered.

How are those new women writers working out for ya? lol. I said that they’d be crap and they are. The show is a bore.

Stranger things have happened, but I don't t think Ron can go back to GH. I wouldn't be shocked if CBS wanted Ron to do breakdowns on BTG while waiting out Josh's contract over at Y&R. Ron would actually be a good fit at B&B, but I don't see Brad ever turning over the handwriting duties. I guess Ken could have brought him back to the Days. It's all quite interesting.

Dena writes "EVENTS"

[quote] I wouldn't be shocked if CBS wanted Ron to do breakdowns on BTG while waiting out Josh's contract over at Y&R

That's what Ron just got through doing -- writing breakdowns at BTG.

Maybe I didn't word that correctly. CBS hired Ron to do breakdowns on BTG until they could move him over to Y&R. That sort of thing has happened before.

Y&R needs some kind of life. I want Ron.

R131 That would be an interesting fit and crazy enough to work.

That show needs something. Talent is there. Give them something to work with.

Ron could definitely shake things up in Genoa City.

These days, we’re back at “I died of boredom in Genoa City” level! And half the show isn’t even taking place in Genoa City right now!

Ron probably never needs to work again. Writing soaps for 30 years got him a great bit of coin.

[quote]Maybe I didn't word that correctly. CBS hired Ron to do breakdowns on BTG until they could move him over to Y&R. That sort of thing has happened before.

That's actually a very smart idea r130. Maybe that's what CBS has in mind.

Reportedly, they're bringing JFP back in to then ease Josh Griffith out of EP duties. Maybe installing Ron as HW is also part of that plan.

[quote] And half the show isn’t even taking place in Genoa City right now

Are they in Aonegytic in Greece?

No r137. An isolated chateau on a mountain top near Nice, France. Heavy rains washed out the train track and there's no way to get down the mountain other than walk. But apparently one character has a secret way to get off the mountain since he left the mountain and secretly went to Genoa City while everyone else was left stranded on the mountain.

Thank you, R138.

Uh, two people. Cane and Adam, who walks up and down the mountain at will.

Ron is creating a new soap for Peacock? Interesting...

NuSoap.

Come again, R141 ?

[quote] CBS hired Ron to do breakdowns on BTG until they could move him over to Y&R.

I don't think CBS has had much to say about the EP/HW situation over at Y&R for years and years now.

While it's true that CBS got Lynn Latham in there way back in 2006 (because she was a pal of CBS' Barbara Bloom), Sony took the first opportunity they could to can Latham when the 2007-08 writer's strike hit. .. And the last time a head of CBS Daytime had much sway at the show was when Angela McDaniel was in the position. But her whole thing was mainly about casting and trying to get "big names" (prime time actors) on the soap. .. Ever since CBS ousted her (2019), and the Baby Bells also took a step back from Y&R, Sony's Steve Kent has pretty much determined who holds the EP and HW spots there. This is why Josh Griffith has been in there so long. They're buddies going way back to Santa Barbara.

I don't mind some of Carlivati's work, but honestly I think he would be a horrible fit at Y&R.

I'd rather see Sony hire someone for HW like Gregori Martin, who I find amazingly talented. And then to rediscover some of Y&R's Big 80s past, add Christian McLaughlin as an associate writer.

Another why did they bring him on just to get rid of him? No interactions with cousin Shawn or Ciara when she was there… no real interaction with his aunt hope

NuCiara?

Wow! I was hoping this rumor was wrong. He’s a great catch for another show.

This sucks, but I'm going to assume that he is a victim of the new writing team. I enjoyed him much more than Tate.

NuWritingTeam.

I want to see DW3 laid bare!

It doesn't sound like Meyer was up for the ongoing struggle to continue the work-life balance of doing Days in L.A. and his personal commitments in Nashville.

[quote] ”Balancing the traveling between Nashville and L.A. and my son put me in such a challenging position that I had to use every ounce of strength I had in me to be able to show up and perform every day because I didn’t realize how difficult it was going to be,” shared Meyer.

R150 Suggest you just watch the sex tape and use your vivid imagination to fantasize you're the girl he's plowing.

R151 I thought Days only shot for part of the year, he couldn't do that? If he's going to be a star he needs to relocate

I think Days is 30 weeks on and 22 weeks dark, but that may have changed.

[quote] If he's going to be a star he needs to relocate.

If he's going to be a star he needs to relocate away from LOOL!

[quote]It doesn't sound like Meyer was up for the ongoing struggle to continue the work-life balance of doing Days in L.A. and his personal commitments in Nashville.

Like he's the only actor who has to commute for his work. They figure out how to do it if they want the job.

Doug Williams 3 was only on for 8 months. Clearly Ron had plans for the character, no doubt in a storyline that would have also given Julie some airtime. But NuWriters don't have that same vision for DW3 and wrote him off.

NU writers suck! Their stories are so boring!

But, but.. Kayla is baking! Steph and Alex are canoodling! Felicity is driving!

nuGabi’s nose is so distracting.

[quote]NU writers suck! Their stories are so boring!

But but but, they’re women! They’ll be better surely.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and posit that DW3 is gone because Peyton is just not a good actor.

I was a fan. I'm going to assume that DW3 did not fit into the new writers' plans. Or maybe the schedule was just too much for him. I liked the character and I liked him with Julie. Now, if they would just do something about Tate and Holly.

[quote]DW3 is gone because Peyton is just not a good actor.

What does being a good actor have to do with being on Days?

Read the room r161. You’re wrong.

I read that Emily was already scheduled to return as Gwen before Ron left, so the new writers had to come up with something for her to do, which might explain the one-dimensional crap they've given her so far.

NewG

What's Marlena been up to? I hope Dee isn't disappointed those Daytime Emmy fuckers have overlooked her yet again!

overLOOKed

It's tOO bad Marlena didn't have grief sex with DW3 before he exited. Who else in this peer group of hers is available? Even Jumpstreet JJ is 31 now.

NuTeens?

nOOteens

LOL R163. Was going to add that to my opinion but knew I’d be branded a hater. Sometimes I am a hater, I freely admit, yet here I am watching daily after all these years.

You're allowed to be a hater of soap actors here.

^ Thank you.

DW3 wasn't fired for his sex tape?

I've always felt that was more likely, R175. It was pretty graphic.

Why would he be fired for that tape? Didn’t it come out well before he was hired? RC probably saw the tape. That’s why he wanted him.

Because they probably have some morals clause.

How was it graphic? I only saw one minute of him doing it doggy style. Is there more?

When I said graphic, I meant there was no question it was him and what he was doing. Maybe the NUwriters were offended whereas RC was not.

Who or what the fuck is DW3?

[quote] DW3 wasn't fired for his sex tape?

Who?

r181, see r145

I doubt if he was fired for a silly OF recording. Did you see his fuck game? The boy's got skills.

[quote]Who or what the fuck is DW3?

Peyton Meyer, who plays Doug Williams III, hence the DL-approved moniker of DW3.

DOOL is the first I've seen of Peyton Meyer. I grew to like him, but was he just as somnambulant in other roles?

Word is, Meyer wanted out, because he feared for his life, thinking SSH might mistake him for some of the scenery and eat him alive.

[quote]thinking SSH

Who?

Why is grandma on the computer if she doesn't know how to use it?

SSH = Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie)

They will need a new guy for the teen set. I know the Northrop kid, and another 20-something are coming on.

NuGuy for NuTeen set?

Is Northrop kid Nu DW3?

I became a fan of Dw3 actor watching American housewife.

Yes, his sex videos are unquestionably graphic but he made them all years before he joined the show. It was not a secret.

Too good to be true that his character belonged on canvas but wasn’t blood related to half the town. I hope he lands on another show if that’s what he wants.

[quote]Too good to be true that his character belonged on canvas but wasn’t blood related to half the town.

Humm. Only person currently in Salem who DW3 is related to is Sean Douglas. And I don't recall them sharing any scenes beyond the initial ones connected to Doug's funeral.

Right. Thats my point. He had plenty of connection to Julie, hope, whomever but not incest to date most of the current canvas.

It is a shame that this conversation here is far more interesting than anything happening in Salem

R197 DOOL is so boring. At least with Carlivati, stuff happened. Now it’s a yawnfest.

Is Tony just upstairs for weeks at a time? Is Anna up there waiting for him? Where is Jumpstreet JJ? Sweeping up the evidence room at the SPD? Are Abe and Paulina off visiting Lani, Eli and the twins? How about Kate? Washing dishes at the pub?

Tony Dimera is straight. lololololol

[quote] Is Tony just upstairs for weeks at a time?

Y not?

OMG Victoria was SORASED HARD, amiright?

This is what you get when you fire homosexuals. Your show goes to shit.

Didn’t she go from an infant in swaddling to a full blown 3 or 4 year old? Am I making that up?

The show has become nothing more than a bad afterschool special from the 1970s.

What color would we say Tony is? It doesn’t seem like anything found in nature…

[quote]What color would we say Tony is? It doesn’t seem like anything found in nature…

Doesn’t matter because the answer to either or both is, you are correct- nothing found in nature is that color.

Does Tony dye is hair?

[quote] What color would we say Tony is? It doesn’t seem like anything found in nature…

It's found in a box of 64 Crayolas

Burnt Sienna?

In all honesty, I don't know why they keep dragging out Tony and Anna. I'm still giving the new writing team time, but the show needs a reset.

Where's Soap Opera Digest's Plan to Save Days when you need one?

Breaking Days just got a two season pickup!!

Yay! I’m so happy.

That's pretty awesome. I hope Triumph at Daytime Cuntfidential's head explodes.

R191 Hank Northrup is in his mid-30s.

Is this Marlena's new man?

No budget. Shitty writers. Boring characters.

Congrats to Days. So, it is now guaranteed to run until September 2028. Bravo!

And to think back in 2007 when NBC cancelled Passions, the then NBC president said he expected Days to be cancelled within the next two years.

Who is the highest paid?

Ken Corday.

What are the ratings since DOOL left over-the-air NBC?

Deidre Hall will be 30 when 2028 gets here.

30 what precisely?

30 years your junior, Cathy.

[quote]What are the ratings since DOOL left over-the-air NBC?

All we really know is what's listed on Peacock, where it appears every day in the top 10 streamed TV shows. What that equates to for the number of total viewers has never been released; some people have made assumptions about the total viewers, but they are just assumptions. I have the ad-free version of Peacock, but one day, I watched the ad version, and I noticed that the ads are not old people ads like on GH and YR. They were car, travel, health, and beauty products commercials.

I've also seen that GH does very well on Hulu, and Beyond the Gates does very well on Paramount. Soaps tend to get people to sample other shows on the platform. I'm assuming that people come to Peacock for Days and stay for the other shows, which helps the streaming service.

[quote] and I noticed that the ads are not old people ads like on GH and YR. They were car, travel, health, and beauty products commercials.

Is it Dee’s forever youthful influence?

No doubt, R227.

[quote]I watched the ad version, and I noticed that the ads are not old people ads like on GH and YR. They were car, travel, health, and beauty products commercials.

I believe the ads you see are user-specific based on your search history and purchasing habits. That’s one of the reasons why before you access the app, it asks “who’s watching”.

Strudel.

[quote]Are you talking about his skin or hair color?

If Tony's skin were a Crayola color, it would be burnt sienna.

R231 and R211 are on the same wavelength.

Viewership data is not readily available for peacock the same it is for broadcast tv.

Perhaps, FAR into the future. When Marlena's bloom of youth starts to fade a little bit.

They have analytics that try to guess your demo to direct ads that they think a particular viewer based on their IP address will be interested in. I don't know how good The 'Cock is at doing this, but I can tell you that when I watch Y&R at cbs.com, they've got me down pretty good. The ads I get are generally male-oriented. Lots of cars, electronics, computers, travel, fitness, films. They of course pimp their own cbs primetime shows, but I also get sporting events.

They don’t “guess” your demo.

They look at your anonymized credit/purchase and viewership history to determine relevant ads.

They’ve eliminated the need for demos. Instead of guessing they want to target programs women 25-54 will likely watch; anyone who may be likely to buy a product (based on past purchases etc) may see the ad.

If you’re a 30 year old single dad, you’ll see diaper commercials even if you’re not watching sports.

They tried to revive Stefano through Patch and that didn't work, I hope they're not going there again. I'm not sure Days can afford to revisit Queen of the Night, but I'll give them a chance.

I hope neeuq Queen of the Night as they did Body and Soul.

For real, what should happen in the next op days to reenergize (or at least maintain) viewer interest?
