Congratulations Days > the cast, the crew, etc.!! Keep up the good work!! I hate week-ends and pre-emps, when Days is not on. I go into withdrawal and it’s PAINFUL!. I just love the show and the storyline lately has been exceptional!! Best to you all and looking forward to Monday.
**holier-then-thou** **watch**
How the hell would you know? Just because you don’t like them, don’t think the universe revolves around your ass. Not everybody feels the same way your holier-thou-then butt does. Case in point; I watched specifically for Ejami. So, bite me.
Good storytelling is the MAIN reason for the ratings increase…..not no damn ejami..
Wow as you can see the ratings are way higher than last week or last year and these characters arent on every day will and sonny come on like 2 days a week if anybody is on everyday it will be Sami and Ej. I agree with you about Dannifer but Brady,Kristen,Will,and Sonny are great actors and everybody like them and as you can see by the ratings people like this week so obvisouly they were doing something right. They got this great news and you just used this to put people down and if you would know EJ and Sami come way more than Will and Sonny.
Days keep doing what you are doing cause you are knocking it out of the park and you cant make everybody happy but you have made majority of everybody happy as you can see by the ratings. Keep doing what your doing cause right now your the best soap on air.
GO DAYS!!!
The storylines can be better and definitely more balanced. Yes I love all the characters on the show, but I am getting tired of constantly seeing the same ones day after day with the boring thing while I am more interested in other storylines.Right now if I had my way I would send Jennifer/Daniel/Abby/JJ, Gabi/Will/Sonny, and Brady/Kristen on at least a two week to a month vacation. While they are gone, I really don’t think I would miss them at all.
Yes I really hate to say that, but there are times that I literally role my eyes and wonder why are they on again. If Days can do a more balancing act of current cast, which they are bad at, instead of adding more and making it worse than I think the rating will be actually higher. I know I would tend to watch more.
That’s what we like to see!=) Congrats to Days!!
Congrats to all of the Day cast! Got to love EJAMI and Wilson, thank you writers! The huge fan base just can not get enough of these two hot couples.
This is fantastic news! The show as been doing a phenomenal job with its story telling lately! Ejami and Wilson are BRINGING IT despite a few scorned viewers threatening to “boycott”. Just because you hate something, doesn’t mean the General Audience does and ratings prove that. Way to go Days! More Ejami and Wilson, please!
