![]() ![]() It would be fantastic to rewatch some classic storylines from the '70s, '80s, and '90s. Jack: Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, that if they move some of the older episodes over, it can be more like something special for diehard fans on top of watching the current shows.Ĭhristine: I'm excited about that prospect. Depending on what era, that could be a huge draw. I also heard today from an article in the Wall Street Journal that they were moving some of the older Days episodes to Peacock. I think Days moving to Peacock, where it's already been shown, will help. Jack: Yes, I think Beyond Salem was a test run, and I would imagine someone ran the numbers to see if it was a viable option before deciding to make the move. And Beyond Salem proved there's an audience for Days on Peacock. ![]() Unfortunately, they will lose some fans, but a lot of my older relatives already watch streaming shows. I'm sure a lot of fans didn't even know they existed once again. Even my husband brought that up when the news broke.Ĭhristine: Yes, not as many people watched streaming back then, and AMC and OLTL had both been off the air for some time before they went streaming. ![]() However, I do see that many diehard Days fans are older and aren't tech/streaming savvy. I hope that going to Peacock means we can tell different stories and get a better budget. I also thought Beyond Salem had better sets, more of them, and a more modern feel, so I'm hoping that Days moving over to Peacock will allow for similar production values. I also think that things were VERY different in 2012 or 2013 when AMC and OLTL tried this. Some viewers may not want or be able to afford to sign up for Peacock Premium, but there are also people who don't own a TV anymore who might decide to check the show out for the first time once it moves over, so that'll balance out. Jack: I'm excited, and I don't think it's the death of the show. Some naysayers cite what happened with All My Children and One Life to Live when they moved online. Some say it will breathe new life into Days, while others think it will be dead in a year. Alarr’s wife started writing on the show in March.Everyone online has an opinion about what this means.
