Just interested in seeing what you all predict to happen in the coming months on the show.
Here’s mine:
If Days doesn’t do anything to bring back some of the major stars leaving now, I believe that NBC will cancel the show by September of next year. I also predict that the budget will allow for the return full time for Belle and Shawn. Even, perhaps, Carrie and Austin. Not sure though if Christie would return since she’s living abroad now in London I believe? I also can see Will and Sonny returning sooner than later and Lucas as well. Perhaps, Alison Sweeney would return with a recast as EJ. Characters like this could rejuvenate the show if they’re given decent storylines. I could also see them bringing back characters played by new actors for Theo, Joey, and maybe Stephanie? And then, Allie and her adorable brother whose name I’ve forgotten and Sidney could come back.

I think Ron Carlavati is going to get canned soon.
I really wish EJ would die and Sami finds out that Johnny is really Lucas's kid and that somehow Sydney isn't her baby so they can just cancel any ties Sami has to EJ. They are limited with what they can do with her because she is attached to EJ.

I just don't know with this show anymore. I used to come up with all sorts of ideas of what I'd do with the characters, given half a chance, but everything has become so myopic and mundane, I just can't give a shit about it anymore. I can't think of a single character who remotely interests me now, or a story with even a glimmer of potential. They've all become so interchangeable and there are no consequences to any of the stories. I haven't watched in weeks now, so they may have contradicted this by now, but if they haven't - or even if they did, which wouldn't matter, being Days - I would not be surprised if Allie's baby didn't even turn out to be her's. I've said it before, but if they're still playing coy about the baby's paternity, I could see them having it where Allie was hired as a surrogate, only to duck out on the actual biological parent(s), because they turned out to be super shady people or something. And the whole thing would just be for the sake of telling a story that ultimately has no long term bearing on anything; because after all is said and done, it'll be like it never happened. They'd get to have their shocking reveal of Allie showing up at Eric's doorstep pregnant, and all sorts of drama around Will/Sonny or Rafe adopting the baby,only to lose out (again) during a custody battle. Then when the dust settles, some heretofore unknown parent or biological relative will show up in town, eventually leaving with the child and none of them ends up being a parent to any new child.
And I get comments like, enjoying seeing Nicole being a fierce antagonist, but more often than not it's part of the perpetual arrested development; where none of these characters are allowed to have any lasting growth. I love me some Allison Sweeney, but God damn, I was tired of the same old, immature bullshit they had her do over and over the again when she was still a main character. There was a point where there was a glimmer of growth; and then they completely backslid her character. And it's the same for all of them; I mean, my God, we had the techno-reincarnated Stefano chasing after 70 year old Marlena.
That's not to say the characters need to become boring, but look at what the rinse and repeat formula has done to Gabi; arguably the worst possible opposite extreme.
The show isn't about anything anymore. They've consolidated and condensed everything to the point where it lacks any substance. This is supposed to be the "days of our lives," yet who spends every waking hour wandering around, having endless conversations about their romantic entanglements? They try to pepper crap in, like the odd machinations about Dimera Enterprises or Titan, to make it seem like they do anything else, but it's just fluff. What does Dimera or Titan even do now? We know they occasionally dabble in fashion and have their hooks in various other stuff, but it's ambiguous at best and never actually consequential.

Nothing happens on this show. All they do is TALK about things that happened. Like with Vivian's arraignment and where she "died." They didn't show any of that. Just all of a sudden Gabi is at Jake's telling him Vivian died.
Every single scene is just characters having conversations about things that happened off screen. It's absolutely mind-numbing.
Pretty sure Allie's baby daddy is Tripp or Theo according to all the rumours I've read online. It would certainly make it interesting if it were someone we already know.
