Great article, Linda. Thanks for sharing it on our site. I enjoyed it very much.
I only watch Days, as far as a soap. It's on Peacock and if I am correct I have heard several cast members say they film 4/5 months in advance.
I hate it on Peacock because I don't have a tv that gets Peacock without paying for it( my daughter does). My roku stick plays about 15 min. if that of the show and then I get the buffering circle.
I watch on my tablet sitting on a pillow on my lap. What you gonna do? LOL.
With mostly all the repeats of nightly shows ...late night. I have resorting to watching Lifetime and Hallmark.
I wanted to watch the new movie, forget the name,...Jane Fonda, Diane Keating, Dandace Bergen. I found it ON Demand which they said I could. To "rent" it to watch is $19.99!
But, I agree 100% in giving these writers what they deserve.
I even tape some late night Golden Girls and Frasier. They are relaxing on the way to bed.
