Days of Our Lives renewed for Season 61

Funny you should mention Sheldon.......as he has, of late, become super annoying to me. Don't know how his FRIENDS tolerate him at all. LOL

Am enjoying everyone's comments and the summaries......after being such a faithful watcher for so many years, I have missed the last couple of days (some others in the past). Sure do wish Days would go back to regular daily episodes in the afternoon, one could watch on the TV. Do not like having to watch on the computer. OR having to pay for it.

Yeah, a bit grumpy about it all.
 
I know I probably should be excited they have renewed for another season but I’m like Poirot, I’ve been skipping more and more episodes and I can watch the show on my tv. The stories have gotten so unbelievable and boring plus a lot of repeat plots. Add the fact that so many of the good actors are no longer on the show for various reasons, some being unfortunately out of anyone’s control (R.I.P.). I’m hoping I can hold out for the new writers, but that’s 7-9 months away from what I’ve read. I am looking forward to the tribute to Doug (Bill Hayes) and seeing how they handle John (Drake Hogestyn) gone hopefully it will all be done with great respect.
