Ha ha, Philly boy, you should have known that you can never force someone to love you! Just because you have ONE date, ONE first time, and ONE marriage does NOT make it eternal love!

hit the nail on the head lol

WEB PIRATES REVEAL SOAP-OPERA PLOTS BY INTERCEPTING ADVANCE TRANSMISSION
Issue: Lifestyles!
The Web is stomping on an American institution--the soap-opera cliffhanger:
"closing the gap between content providers and consumers." A group called,
Spoiler 3 says they pick up a feed of "Days of Our Lives," as it's sent to
Canada a day earlier than it is broadcast in the US, transcribes the plot
and
posts it on their website. Genoa City News website has a similar system for
posting "The Young and the Restless" plots. A viewer gets the feed from the
satellite and sends it in, says Brent Kellogg, manager of the site. A soap
executive confirmed that broadcasts are sent via satellite a day ahead to
Canada stations, to accommodate their schedule, but aren't broadcast until
the
same time the next day in the US. "Publishing material sent privately via
satellite can carry a civil fine of as much as $2,000," a government-agency
person said. Doing it for a profit could raise the fine to $50,000. CBS
spokesperson, Dana McClintock says they are aware of the "net-spoilers,"
but
say it's not a problem. David Sperber, "Days of Our Lives" publicist is
worried
that if people know what's going to happen they won't watch. Lynn Leahy,
Soap
Opera Digest magazine editor, says no worries -- fans will still choose to
watch
over reading plots on a screen. [And here we thought they performed all
those things live]

If what the read is going to happen sounds INTERESTING people will watch, if it does not -- which is the case 90% of the time with the staus quo for DAYS, -- they will not. Memo to DAYS, fire JERk, hire a better write, gut the cast of the characters who the fans do not want, and promote those the fans want. Return to CHARACTER driven plots, highlight the two things which made the show special from the up until 91 when Thomas Langan took over for Al Rabin, supercouples -- and not just throwing two characters together and forcing them as a couple, but the true supercouple, two actors who have chemistry and who the fans, NOT TPTB, want to root for -- and the family. Then add in interesting villians, and umbrella story adventures which are not the focus but which further reinforces the principles of romance and familial relationships.

TIIC have to stop blaming everyone and thing for the poor ratings and step back and finally LISTEN TO THE FANS, and the actos, and finally fix things. The buck stops with them. Prior to 1991 TPTB changed things, recast or got rid of characters which were not working, and played around with couples to hit that perfect forumla for chemistry. Now they just stubbornly and arrogantly do as the please, and demand the fans like what they want them to like.

that keep us from watching. It's whole heartedly the writing. At this point the whole weeks worth of Days probably amounts to only 1 days worth of new material. Instead of putting so much time and effort into re-hashing old plot lines to fill 5 hours of air-time, why not have just a show once a week. 1 hour of all new material.

What the person above said is true. If the spoilers seem good to us, and show that we will not be watching the same show over again, the folks that read the spoilers are MORE likely to tune in, not less likely!

TPIC are just grasping at any straw to take the heat of the producers. They are trying to take a page from the RICAA.

As with anything, you can not improve upon a problem, until you admit you have one!
