Days of Our Lives - MESSAGE BOARDS

So disgusted with Days. I haven't watched regularly in years, but I do watch maybe once a week or so. Now I have absolutely no reason to tune back in. I'm not going to accept Days' bull***t and watch John and Marlena's final episode (I can't believe I just wrote that) and pretend that it's all good. Hell no.

The powers that be truly have a death wish. Big mistake, Days. Big mistake.

I have been watching Days since it started, it used to come on just in time for me to watch it with my mom after school! Even though the s/l have been a little crazy at times this is the first time I have really thought about giving up the show.... I now read the recaps and sometimes just delete the recording...... thats SAD!

I've never been a Marlena/Deidre fan but I've adored Drake since 1986 so I'll be following him to his next role and leaving DAYS behind...no Drake, no me.

%( I will miss them both. it would be nice if they would give us the old john back before they leave. does anybody know if Bell and Shawn will come back.

I'm at work and I just found this out now. I let out a yelp when I read the headline, people were staring at me LOL.

I am very shocked and saddened. Whether or not it will make an impact or difference, this is definitely the end of Days, for me. I'm done. The only good thing (if you call it that) I'm taking out of it is the fact that they're leaving together.

Don't count John/Marlena out yet

I am 53 years old and have been a days fan since it almost began. When Drake and Deidra are gone, I'm gone from Days. The story lines have gone to the dogs. Days is turning to the younger generation, which is fine, but that leaves us older folk out of it. Shame on those who decided this stupidity. I think you are going to lose a whole lot of viewers over this absolutely stupid decision.

It will never be the same. Truely stupid on the part of the decision makers. And Im not even a big Jarlena fan.

what kind of craziness is this? John and Marlena are two of my favorite characters and now we find out that this Phillip is leaving too.....I don't know what they are thinking. I almost can't remember a time when Marlena was off this show....sad sad sad

I have been watching DOOL since I was 8. I am now 51. The same thing happened with the ORIGINAL star crossed couple Doug & Julie. Marlena & John have been through a lot. What more can happen to this couple? Send them away for awhile & when they return(because you know they will), be it 2 months or 2 years from now they can have a fresh, new & well thought out storyline that could affect all the new characters.
Plus, maybe Drake can take some acting lessons while he's gone!

Please call and voice your complaints. Most of the contact numbers for Days have been changed or mailboxes are full. I just got through to this one:

Days Number in CA: (818) 840-2067

If you are outraged by the treatment of Drake and Deidre by Ken Corday let your voice be heard.

ALL THE NEW CHARACTERS SUCK!!! WHAT THE FU*&K?IS CORDY THINKING ?? HOPE HES PREPARED FOR ALOT OF ANGRY FANS!!![/quote]

This comes from NBC and their budget. John and Marlena make the most money so to cut costs, they'd go. So what can be done about NBC destroying our soap? Stop watching all the NBC reality shows that cost them nothing to make and bring in big profits and let NBC know why you're doing it. DOOL is to blame also. They need better scripts. I really liked the show during the writer's strike. Go figure.
