I definitely think a smaller group of breakdown/script writers might be a really good thing. |

I've heard it's definitely a last tape date. And I believe they were already writing the time period where it would be ending a few weeks before this stop supposedly happened. |

Ugh, I can't stand Becky Herbst. Praying she reaches a deal with GH!! Her coming to Days would be the one thing that will make me hope that Greg never returns. Not that I'll be watching if Ari is gone but I still don't want her on Days. |

It would be nice if the show took a few months break from shooting, but that has a lot of complications for the crew. They would take a significant income hit and would probably have to be formally laid off under California law, since they would not have a return date within a few weeks. The show would also risk losing those workers to other jobs, which also hurts stability, which is especially necessary on a program that shoots as quickly as Days. I'm not sure how the situation would work with the actors. They might have to be paid during any shooting hiatus, though I guess the show could use them in more episodes than they normally would after the return to fill their annual guarantees. |

They have hesitated before. There has been at least twice where it was said the show was all but cancelled. This is the longest it has taken for an announcement but I think between the 50th and the inconsistency Days has shown in ratings from 2014-2015, it's taking longer than usual because the show will need to make cuts. They just need to figure things out. I think both sides have agreed on a renewal, it's just the details and that is why there is no announcement. |

Only 4 soaps left people!! 20 years from now it's likely that they'll all be gone. It's sad. It's a dying genre. But I have complete faith that we will get a renewal. |

Sept 2016 would be the last "tape" date? That makes me feel better.I would hope they get time to give the show a proper send off. But again, Im pretty sure they got a renewal, so this is all a mute point lol I was just curious |

I'm paranoid by nature lol I'm not gonna feel ok until an official confirmation is made. But I have a feeling everything will turn out fine!! Edited by PetrovaSalvatore, Feb 8 2016, 04:57 PM.

It feels like the show will continue, the unknown is how bad it will look if the budget is trimmed once again. |

Tomorrow will be exacty 1 year after that the replacement of Tomlin/Whitesell by Griffith/Higley was announced. http://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/exclusive-major-writer-switch-days Maybe that's why this spot is happening today. |

I wouldn't be sad to lose Rafe, Brady and Theresa, I'm tired of these characters. What do they bring to the table, really? |

If they cut some script/breakdown people, I wonder if it's a "last in, first out" situation or if larger salaries play a bigger role. If it's "last in, first out" for scriptwriters, Mark Higley and Danielle Paige would likely be let go. As far as the breakdown people, I have no idea. |

Since writers stop writing, are actors still filming? |

If the show is as cash strapped as I think it is, I don't think bringing in RH is a very good idea. I like her as an actress, but she probably doesn't come cheap, and the cast is already large enough as it is. On top of that, we have quite a few actresses in that age range. What the show really needs is a few more twenty something women. |

Yes. The writers are farther ahead than the taping schedule. |
