The Top 10 Ways to Fix A Soap *Coughs* Days of Our Lives

10. Do not get rid of a set that has history, and value to the show *Coughs* Alice Horton's place

9. Hire head writers and writers that stick to history of the show and not rewrite it to suit your personal tastebuds *Coughs* I'm talking to you Dena for ruining the shows' history, Days needs to have Sheri Anderson back like now

8. Look at the ratings, and do your research. If it's broken, fix it before it's too late *Coughs* Insert hint hint here Corday - fire Tomlin!

7. Rape is not romance - just saying.

6. Read the magazines, boards, etc - listen to the long-time fans. *Coughs* Visit 2C dang it!

5. Rape is not romance - just saying.

4. Do not let people 're-write' their scenes just because they don't agree with it. Heck, don't let them interupt their cast-mates to announce something.

3. Rape is not romance - just saying.

2. Fire actors that put their foot in their mouths, and bad mouth other fanbases. Sure they may want one thing, but don't have them force their POV onto others. Send them to charm school so they learn how to respect others. *Coughs* You can start by firing What's His Face.

1. Bring back characters and couples that are essential to today's storylines. Don't ship them off someplace just because the writer can't write for them. Find a writer that can and get rid of the one who claims there's no story for them. Reunite pairings that fans want, and bring back the originals who played them. Case in point - Lucas Horton - Bryan R. Dattilo. And that couple I'm referring to? Lucas & Sami.

Awh this is so true and the part saying rape is not romance agreed they shouldnt build love relastionship on something that started of as a rape ***** for example. It only shows that rape is not a crime SOOOO WRONG. And the part with getting actor written off and places off camara the Alice's place is the head place of the show were Hortons come together for xmas they should still use the place and gather other family members to do the Horton tradition.

More bring back Bryan along with many other supercouples such as the characters of Shelle + Jarlena Drake/Deidre.

Overall loved this reminded me once again why I love Days and still watch it during those ups and downs! :)

I agree that many of these are very true.

My additions

10. Could've been used as the new home for Lumi and the kids!

9. Have writers consult the fans so they don't get history incorrect!

8. If the ratings are down, change the story and hire the right actors back!!! And fire more than Tomlin, give Corday the heave-ho!

7. Enough said

6. More than listen to the long time fans, pay attention to how many there are compared to the new(supposedly bigger) base and see that they are not larger!

5. Enough said

4. Only let actors rewrite the scenes if it works or if they know what they are doing!

3. Enough said.

2. Tell the actors that there are always others who can play the part better than them. Or tell them to try to get their old job back, and I am not talking about on their old soap!

1. Only the popular couples, not the unpopular ones! Lumi is popular. Rapemi is not! Safe is only a temporary situation!

And if they truly want to fix the show, get a popular actor who can fit the role to bring back Eric and knock some sense into his twin and have them take care of you know who, together!

You can't fire the boss, unfortunately Corday owns Days.

Awesome post Ally! As much as I want Bryan back, I also want Jennifer, Jack, Bill, Kayla and Steve and John and Marlena back. and I want the ORIGINAL actors, with the exception of Bill. I'll take the recast of him, he's great!
