From Dateline:
"The pickup, which I hear may include an option for an additional year"

I don't know the terminology. What does "option" mean in this context? I don't know anything about contract law or whatever this is.

Damn. Lysie is making me nervous on Twitter.

Is Tomlin coming back as part of this deal or something? :rolleyes:
Ah, so I'm guessing you were referencing something story-related for next week?

So happy that the show gets to continue.

Now please make it a good show.
The actors and the fans deserve better than the crap that is airing right now.

As far as I know, I think it means that they'll renew for an additional year without renegotiating if the show meets certain conditions.

Great news. I like the option year. As Phoenix stated this means Days can't get complacent & forces them to write good story all year round.

Not sure if that account is reliable?

EDIT: oh I see it was already posted.

I don't know if it's been released in spoilers yet but I heard there's something pretty terrible that happens next week. That's probably what Lysie is referring to.

I really think messing with the production schedule will backfire UNLESS...

maybe they are having a hiatus to prevent them from going any FURTHER ahead. With the two week Olympic break, they will be more than 6 months ahead, I believe. Maybe they were told they have to prevent from going any further ahead than they are. I could see that but I can't see them going back to a normal model or anything but going back to where they have been (4-5 months ahead) I could see.

Oh, Jesus. More of Higley's crap, I'm assuming? She really did take this show to the gutter in record time, didn't she?

I'm thinking whatever it is next week was the straw that broke the camel's back for Dena. It is pretty clear that we are getting to the end of her run and more and more Griffith is becoming obvious in the writing. As bad as things are (including Steve/Ava), I do feel like there had to be something really bad that happened and that may be what we get.

That makes me wonder if this is related to Eric's devastating news....

You may be right about it being what ultimately got her tossed. I just can't imagine what could be worse than what we've already gotten thus far. :shithitfan:

Back to renewal: Yay for Days! :)

With Ava Steve Kayla we surely have already had the worst. What more could there be? They wouldn't have her sleep with Joey as well would they? That would be beyond disgusting.

If Sony agreed with it, it has to be manageable.

I'm so intrigued on what could be worse that happens next week than Steve sleeping with Ava.

The option year is basically a get your s... together or your done. It also gives the Network a year to develop a replacement. Now to the budget cuts.
