Waterworld By Jay Bobbin Q : Has "Days of Our Lives" been canceled? — Sheila Morris, via e-mail A : Much has been said about this in recent weeks, and here's the story. NBC has not canceled the venerable daytime serial (or at least hadn't at the time this was written), but the company that makes the drama — Cor- day Productions — terminated its contracts with all of the ac- tors. That doesn't necessarily say much for loyalty, consid- ering how long some of those performers have been with the show, but it surely was a canny business move. What this means is that if the show is picked up again, the actors will have to agree to new contracts (possibly for less pay) to continue in their roles. Production is done well ahead of the airing of the episodes, and enough "Days" has been made to take it up to the start of NBC's coverage of the 2020 Summer Olympics in July. For "Days" to resume telecasts on the other side of that, work would have to start up again fairly soon, so the future of the drama and it stars should become known before long. In the meantime, it certainly has made for lots of conversation, particularly among those who literally have grown up watching the show. Some of the performers also have spoken out about the situation, including Chr- ishell Hartley (wife of "This Is Us" co-star Justin Hartley), who is advising fans to watch the series "live" when it airs weekdays — and not later, via recordings of it — to demon- strate to NBC and the produc- ers that devotees still want their "Days." Q : I was so sad to see "The Village" canceled. I really liked that show. I wish they would bring it back. — Mary Bennett, Elk Grove, Calif. A : Sorry, that's not in the cards. The NBC drama's ratings were soft from the start, even with it being sched- uled on Tuesdays to capitalize on the somewhat similarly themed "This Is Us" after that show had ended its last season. A petition by fans to have the cancellation reversed didn't work, and the studio didn't even use the popular "We'll shop it elsewhere" phrase used now in so many cases when a series is axed. If there's a possible sil- ver lining, it's that several episodes of "The Village" re- mained available on NBC on Demand as of mid-November. But if you're going to watch them, you'd better hurry: The network's new midseason shows are coming soon, so the older ones that didn't get renewed are likely to vanish.
