You said a mouth full, KR was on contract to 2010 and where is she now, booted right off the show. Contracts mean absolutely nothing to DOOL.

DAYS 2.) B&B 3.) GH 4.) Y&R	As has been mentioned, contracts mean nothing but I guess it sends a message. Days has been signing alot of the younger stars to long-term deals and I think alot of that has to do with fear of losing them to film and primetime. I know it's Eric we are talking about here but the show still wants to be in control of his status so they rope Eric in for 4 and if they want to get rid of him, they just do when his cycle was up. That is probably the reason for the contract. It's a security measure for the show. Corday did sound optimistic the last time he was interviewed in August. He said he was hopeful we would see another 5 years at least so who knows. As I said in the ratings thread, I believe NBC and Days are more focused on demos, along with many soaps, so that would explain the optimism.

Well, that is what it is. 2 years. That is what it will probably be from now on. The next time Days may be like Passions and we will start seeing it be renewed a year at a time. I don't expect Days to get a 5 year deal. if they do, there will be outs. I just think Corday is optimistic that they can last that long, if not longer.
