It's feeling like the end of days for the stars of "Days Of Our Lives" -- the entire cast just got released from their contracts.
TMZ has confirmed the producers of the more than 50-year-old soap opera let all their actors out of their deals ... meaning they're all free to get new jobs, but it doesn't necessarily mean the show's definitely sunk.
The NBC sudser, which is about to begin season 55, is going on indefinite hiatus. The network is expected to decide in early 2020 whether to bring it back for season 56.
The good news for 'Days' fans ... the soap shoots 8 months in advance, and there's going to be enough episodes in the bank when the show halts production at the end of November to last through Summer 2020. Whew.
NOTE: This means the actors can flee-- that's EIGHT MONTHS of time. I think it spells the end. I will do some recon on this and get back to you.
This can't be good news for any soap. My first thought was Wally Kurth was just put on contract over there, maybe he'll come back to GH?
TODAY'S SHOW:
Jax is freaking out--- Then Carly comes over. He tells her without telling her he's involved in something. OH MY GOSH! Nikolas walks out!! "it's not his fault, he's helping me--father to father". Carly's like Um, you didn't DIE? He says NO..she asks who knows he's alive. He says Jax and Hayden. She's like YOU HAVE TO TELL YOUR MOTHER!! He's like NO I don't. She says they've gotten close this year since MORGAN died and he has to tell her. He says No. She says YOU DON'T TELL HER, THEN I WILL!! Nikolas pleads and tells her Val will kill he and Spencer if he knows he's alive. Jax talks to Carly alone. Tells her about his credit card being used for the transaction. If Nikolas is found out to have helped Cassandra, he'll go to jail too. She doesn't want him to get charged so she'll keep the secret for now.
Finn is all verklepmt over tucking in Violet in for the first time. He tells Hayden he knows that she could have not come back and he thanks her. They talk about Anna and how she left and he thinks she's afraid to love. He wants to tell Anna about Violet in person when she gets home. BUT! Wants to tell Violet at breakfast that he's her father. Hayden thinks that's a great idea.
Robert is at the PCPD. Lulu's cryin' to her mama. He sits with Lulu and asks her questions. Peter walks in. Robert yells: GET OUT, GET OUT OF MY SQUAD ROOM!! NO PRESS!! Maxie says: "he's not here as press, he's here as a friend". Oh screw you, Maxie. (that was my comment lol) Peter wants to put it out in the media that Char is missing. Robert says it's not a good idea.
Later, Jordan asks Laura if what she and Curtis are doing might involve Cassandra. Laura's like, um. I don't think so? Robert is wondering how Cassandra got 'work detail" and how Shiloh escaped. Then he looks at Peter and asks why he vistied Pentonville 2x in 2 days. He also wonders why Peter was on the docks the night Shiloh died. Maxie says "You wouldn't be saying this if Anna were here" .
Wyndemere: Valentin and Nina. Then Jason rings the doorbell.. wants to ask questions about Cassandra. Val says he was already at the PCPD and knows nothing. Then his phone rings. Jason won't stop asking. Nina starts screaming at him to get out (Cassies' on the phone). Jason is like, what is up? Finally leaves. Cassie called him back and he says he'll do whatever he wants. Valentin breaks down after the phone call. Says he never wanted a baby but demented Helena created an embryo. He's scared for Charlotte and cries to Nina. She holds him. He tells her to go get Charlotte's locket so he can feel close to her. Charlotte calls him. (SEE BELOW TO END)
Docks: Cassandra twists Charlotte's face- tells Anna to throw her gun and phone in the river. Anna tells Charlotte not to worry, she's Emma's grandmother. She does throw them in. Anna says she'll let Cassandra get a head start-- Cassie's like NOPE! Then her goons step out of the shadows and she calls Valentin again. Then Anna rushes Cassie and Charlotte bites her, Anna yells RUN to her and Charlotte takes off. A goon holds Anna while the other one runs after Char.
Charlotte hides behind a barrel. The goon is going to catch her and Jason starts fighting him. Long fight scene but Jason wins (of course). Asks Charlotte if she's ok, She says yes. OMG Ok, so Anna sees Jason and kick beats up the guy holding her. Jason takes over and Anna goes after Cassie to attack her. They all fight. Finally, Jason knocks out his guy and Charlotte says "take that loser"! Anna runs to her and Jason asks what she is doing there. " I wanted to see what was happening"!! They look and Cassandra is gone. I think she SWAM away LOL !!
Oh She got a BOAT... and calls Valentin. Valentin talked to Charlotte on Jason's phone and found out she was safe. Cassie was going to tell Valentin who broke her out of jail and he says he doesn't care AND BLOWS THE BOAT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boat blows up and out of the shadows Nikolas peeks and Charlotte sees him.
WHOO WHEE that was some show again today!! TONS happened!! You should watch.
This is bad news in a way for GH, whose ratings have been barely above Days.

There was an update and clarification about DOOL on your FB thread.
ReplyDeleteGreat show today. Boom to Cassandra who is certainly not dead and gone forever.
Things are moving along nicely. But I hope they don't leave Ava hanging for too much longer.
Helena's portrait - so Dev or Trinia won't accidentally mention that Ava has it?
ReplyDeleteAND if Ava's in jail WHO is in charge of the gallery? Why won't Trina just go get it from the back of the gallery - they didn't hide it, they just moved it to the back. Does anyone LOCK the gallery?????????
I can't swear, but am sure that Ava has employees @ the gallery. I remember when the character of Jordan first came on GH, she worked @ the gallery, although it was undercover.
DeleteI think she texted Trina to hide it or keep it--just a hunch
Deletealso is Nina living at Wyndemere and have she and Valentin had sex/sleep together? I never see them kiss.
ReplyDeleteWatching now but came in late cause oops...realized I could get NBC app on my firestick and catch up on DAYS.
ReplyDeleteSo what the hey...NOW Carly knows?!?!?!
Wow that was good! So did Val send Jason to save Char? Loved it! By Cassie!
ReplyDelete*bye
DeleteJax's home:
ReplyDeleteJax and Idiot savant Nik: Jax is having a melt down! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Jax: I DON'T NEED IT!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I laughed so hard!!!! Then when Carly shows up, Jax puts on a fake smile! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm dead! Jax would have won the line of the day, but little Charlie wins it. Damn too bad. I really wanted Jax to win it. Great scene.
Jax, Carly and Idiot savant Nik: Man when Idiot savant Nik shows himself to Carly, my jaw hit the floor!!!! Yeah his explanation makes sense, so you really can't tell anybody. I mean if they did, then V.C. will hurt Laura and Spencer. I believe it.
Jax and Carly: Jax you just had to bring up when you kept Spencer as your own!!! I remember Jax. :( You were in so much pain when Kung foo barbie died. You loved her so much. :(
Wyndemere:
Jason, Nina, and V.C.: Nina was giving superhero cop Jason an SOS code through her eyes! ROFL!
Nina and V.C.: Oh Nina! You are not buying V.C.'s Soliloquy are you? In fact, since you "forgave" him have you been sleeping with him?
The pier: Anna why are you at the pier in the first place? Why aren't you home to go see Finchy? Or why didn't you call him? Man that is so annoying.
Cassie, Charlie, and Anna: Wow! Cassie has got a really good hold on Charlie!!! I wonder if it bothered the little actress or it scared her. I hope not. Love that Charlie bit Cassie's hand hahaha.
Bad guy and superhero cop Jason: Superhero cop Jason swoops in and FIGHT FIIIIIIIIGHT! ROFL!
Cassie, superhero cop Jason, Anna, Cassie's goons, and Charlie: Oh look. Superhero cop Jason swoops in to fight, and that gave Anna permission to fight the bad guy. She couldn't do it on her own? ROFL! And there is Charlie's line of the day.
Charlie: Take that loser!!
ROFL! Oh she wasn't supposed to be there! Superhero cop Jason told her to stay where she was! HAHAHAHAHHAAHA!
Cassie on the phone with V.C.: OH MY!!!!! GREAT SCENE!!!!!!!! I wonder if Cassie jumped out of the boat before it exploded. I hope so!!!!
Chandler Mansion:
RayRay and Finchy: Oh kiss already!!! Get back together already!!! Tell little munchkin during breakfast in the morning that he is her daddy? Why don't you wake her up now and tell her.
Police station:
Robert and Hiney:
Robert: GET OUT! GET OUT OF MY SQUAD ROOM! NO PRESS!
ROFL! Love it!!!! You tell him Robert!!! Shut up Maxie!
sick of super jase.too bad for DOOL, which means GH will hire more actors.cause we need more characters.
ReplyDeleteI heard that Stella and Brooklynn are coming back this month.

DeleteNot that we need more characters...but I don't care, anything as long as GH doesn't get canceled. Still can believe it. Well at least Wally can come back to GH now. 😊
Delete*can't
DeleteYeah that thing with Days, WOW! That's scary. They film 8 months ahead? YIKES!!
ReplyDeleteWhy does Jason have to be involved with every storyline? Anna doesn't need help. Arghhhhh
ReplyDeleteI loved yesterday's show, except for Carly snarling at Nik. (Hey Sonya, quit calling my Nik an idiot savant...lol!) Why is Carly even involved in this??
ReplyDeleteI though the fight scenes were great, and so didn't expect the boat to blow up. I loved that and was surprised!
I need Anna to get to her house ASAP and to see all the mischief going on there. :)
She'll get there soon enough haha!!
Delete"Julie H says, (Hey Sonya, quit calling my Nik an idiot savant...lol!)"
DeleteROFL! He is my Nik too!!! He hasn't been acting like himself. He keeps screwing up. Even Jax has been calling him an amateur! He must have really hit his head hard when he fell out that window!!! ROFL!
Your Nik, too? Nope, nope, he's mine. Lol! Jax calling him an amateur was pretty funny, though!
DeleteI did wonder what Charlotte is going to say about seeing Nik, if anything. That was an unexpected scene, but I liked it!
Check out Tyler Christopher on TMZ - arrested for public drunkenness. I can see why they didn't ask him to come back and now I'm glad there is a really good recast.
ReplyDeleteLindaV
How sad. :(
DeleteI know - I'm a huge fan and have met him twice. Really nice guy!
DeleteLindaV
It is very sad. Did I read somewhere that he has problems with alcohol? It is a serious disease. I am not being disrespectful at all. If it is the case, I hope that he can get help. He is a great actor and as another poster said nice guy.
DeleteJust read the article. How very sad. He really needs help. Hope he gets some soon.
DeleteOh my this is so sad, and I really hope he gets the help he needs. One of the comments said his wife had also filed for divorce. And please remind me never to click on comments on the TMZ site. There are some wicked trolls on there!

ReplyDeleteSomeone help me out here: is Nik the uncle and 1st cousin of Charlotte?
ReplyDeleteOldschoolGHfan
Don't get me wrong, I loved the show. But, Anna had a great shot to shoot Cassandra in the head. A WSB spy can do that.
ReplyDeleteI definitely wanted Anna to take her out. As is, she'll get no credit for saving Charlotte. The hit man wins again!
DeleteAnon, I think you are right!
