Social Media - November 2024

 
They sure do have to constantly come up with something different, don't they? Just when you get all your items adjusted to something new and different........they change it all again. We have had Day on regular TV, on to Facebook, other different networks, streaming, (which many don't have).

And while the suits want to stay "in the groove" , and now focus on Tik Tok , I don't think they are getting new viewers, as much as they are losing long time, faithful ones. But they don't matter, gotta try and entice the young ones.........who either are in school, at work, or raising small children. We read of so many viewers who became fans because of watching the show with Mom, or grandma who was babysitting. But going only online..........bad move.

Sorry Guiding Light ended, was a faithful viewer, but time marches on. And I am fearful the same is going to happen for Days. We have lost various soaps............the producers just refused to acknowledge who their audience was, and what they wanted/expected from their soaps. Yes, viewership changed but the shows seemed unable to adjust. I used to think that alternating the days............i.e. GL on Mon., Wed., Fri. & As The World Turns on Tues/Thurs...............something like that, could possibly work.........guess not.
 
Before anyone asks how Kate (Roberts) was there, it's not that Kate. The woman is Nurse Kate Honeycutt. She worked for Stefano and also did some dirty work for Megan's "faux father", Maxwell Hathaway. (She's the woman in the nurse's uniform in the top middle picture, next to Tony and his mother Daphne DiMera)

Later, when Stefano kidnapped Sami and Eric as infants, he had Kate Honeycutt take care of them.

She was played by Elinor Donahue, best known as Betty Anderson on Father Knows Best.

Here she is with baby Sami and Eric, and with Stefano, Marlena and the twins. (he'd actually allow Marlena to see them; Bo eventually rescued the twins)

It's hard to tell the twins are Sami and Eric because Sami's not screeching and Eric doesn't have a sourpuss look on his face.

Stacy Haiduk (Kristen) can sugarcoat it all she wants......or try to sugarcoat it, but there is no getting around the fact that Kristen holds the key to Sarah possibly being able to walk again, and refuses. Kristen is still Kristen, & even if she gets what she wants, she'll only part with some of whatever it is. She will keep back the rest, as guarantee she gets ALL of what she wants, for always.
