I started watching this show when It first started and I was in high school. It is so sad what the new writers have done to the beloved Days. I also have several friends that started watching it from the beginning too and they feel the same way. SO DISGUSTING NOW!!! One of the biggest mistakes that is happening are all of the cast that have left or will be leaving the show soon. I have loved Hopefrom the very beginning of the show and I love Rafe, Brady, Ciera, Gabbi to name just a few. What is wrong with you guys you should be doing everything in your power to get these people to sign their contracts and stay. If you do not wake up soon. I am afraid Days Of Our Lives will not be on TV to much longer (so sad). If it should happen to stay on I know a lot of once dedicated viewers that will be tuning out and not watching the show anymore. WAKE UP SOMEBODY before it is too late. To Hope, Rafe, Brady and everyone else you did a GREAT JOB you can not help what the idiots are doing to our show.
