I was lucky enough to be in contact with one of the writers on Days. Told no one, never divulged anything revealed, but the purpose, I think of being contacted in first place was to not lead viewers astray in any way. I so appreciated that, for the length it lasted. (that writer no longer with Days). That was back when I worked on another Days site. Cannot tell you how much I appreciated the trust & valued the interaction. I was doing summaries on that site, one day a week, filling in for someone else, & somehow ended up doing 2, sometimes 3 days a week. Many of you know the rest of that........(Eventually, because of differing opinions I left......as did Wayne......lol, and some time later....Wayne established this site, and here I am. )
The thing is, writers do think up scenarios on their own, but also are asked to write something or other to feature so and so. And as we all know, what sounds good verbally or on paper, doesn't always turn out as expected.
And this is how I feel about the move to Peacock. It probably sounded good on paper, verbally, but the reaction by the viewing public is mostly negative. The lack of promo from the show & cast seems to indicate even the suits are not up for it. Then again, maybe their plan was not to mention it til after Labor Day??? That interview with Corday is a disaster......o.k. will be nicer, call it just a mistake.
Just that I have been doing this a long time, in various places, & I just cannot fathom this being a good thing for Days.
