Thanks for all your replies. So then, according to Jason47, Peter Reckell aired 8/28/15-12/2/15. Bo's official first air date (as promoted) was Tues Sept 8th. I remember Friday Aug 28th was just a one-minute (or shorter) scene of Bo lying on the prison floor at the end of the episode. Not sure if his face was shown, maybe just his tattoo -- but enough for viewers to know it was Bo. But then Bo wasn't seen until Sept 8th -- and he began airing more regularly after that. Bo's death was Friday Nov 20th, and repeated Monday Nov 23rd. PR's scenes as SubconsciousHope were were after that -- through Dec 2nd. Thank you for clarifying that PR spoke during some of those scenes. I suppose I could say that PR's scenes aired Sept 8 - Dec 2nd (With Aug 28th as a glimpse of his body). Although he was technically a "U/5" for August 28th, I suppose he got contract pay for that. What matters is what episodes PR got paid for. If his contract dates were for the episodes that aired Aug 28-Dec 2, then he did air for more than three months. |

Peter Reckell - 37 episodes (according to Jason47). So I guess he either had 13 weeks*3 episodes/week guarantee =39 episodes or the guarantee was lower and he was paid for additional episodes. Edited by thepadange, Feb 10 2016, 07:59 AM.

I hope we get a press release that Days has been renewed today and not another "alarming" report from Jamey Giddens. |

Is it true that Days hoping to snatch Rebecca Herbst? Is she really leaving GH? I always thought she would make a great Cassie Brady recast. I think she would be awesome as Cassie and have her and Deimos together! RB and VI would have amazing chem together! |

I am sure if they are cancelled that a good two months worth of story would be thrown out immediately and a proper ending would be written in time for filming. |

Well we if you look at the last few years, it looks like the genre has reversed its dying trend in a way....there was a soap cancelled every year but the last 3-4 years none have been axed....that indicates to me a leveling off of this trend. 2008 - PASSIONS (NBC) axed 2009 - GUIDING LIGHT (CBS) axed 2010 - AS THE WORLD TURNS (CBS) axed 2011 - ALL MY CHILDREN (ABC) axed 2012 - ONE LIFE TO LIVE (ABC) axed 2013 - none 2014 - none 2015 - none 2016 - none (so far) Edited by Mitchapalooza, Feb 10 2016, 11:53 AM.

I think they can totally do it....but they would need to seriously purge the cast and bring the contract based down to 15-20 actors only. |

That would mean cutting more than half the cast since they currently have 40 contract players, I don't think they would need to go that far. |

When there are only 4 soaps left, that doesn't really matter anymore. DAYS is competitive with GH and has the highest majority of younger viewers of all 4 soaps...DAYS is also the most DVR'd soap and most watched online....it has some ground in those aspects. |

Exactly..DAYS could be more profitable for NBC as the 4th and last ranked show than GH is for ABC being the #3 show...it is all about profitability, both in how much DAYS makes for NBC and how much it makes for Sony....DAYS is highly distributed worldwide and online (and additionally in the US outside of NBC) so Sony is making money off the show for sure. |

That is 6 extra 30 sec commercial spots x 5 days a week = 30 extra commercials a week....that certainly has to make up for some of the lost ad revenue. |

Technically less cast members doesn't necessarily mean less cost (at least not directly), as actors are paid per episode. Less characters featured in an episode, more lines/minutes for each character in an episode and lower pay rates could save them money. (this would mean lower contract guarantees for actors, though). |

SO MUCH THIS! Melissa Salmons is the most overrated writer by a fucking mile...her scripts have been pure shit for a while now. If there are writers out, I hope she is one of them....her and David Cherill and of course Mark Higley. |

A 5-month hiatus in production would be DEVASTATING for the shows crew....plus would that means contract actors would be paid for 5 months of NO work? |
