Obviously, you haven't heard of Paramount+ & Pluto TV (The latter of which they ALREADY have a prescence on)
As such, it wouldn't take them much effort to move B&B & Y&R to Paramount+

“Days of our Lives” to move the hourglass to Peacock

- Start date
As such, it wouldn't take them much effort to move B&B & Y&R to Paramount+
Current episodes of both CBS soaps are already on Paramount+.

And new episodes will go there too should & once CBS decide(s) to get out of the business of broadcasting them
Maybe. Maybe not. Some things are just canceled. Moving to the streaming platform is more exception than rule and not all business situations are the same.

True but unlike DOOL, Y&R & B&B both have GLOBAL followings & fan bases. Those can't be ignored
Okay so put them on streaming in the U.S. and the rest can keep it on TV if they want.
If DOOL can be on streaming in the U.S. and on the W Network (Cable) in Canada, then the other shows can follow suit. Its not that hard.
That alone does not necessarily make the financials work, and it’s a bit of a tired old cliche from years past. Lots of shows bite the dust that are viewed elsewhere.

Funny. It seems to work for Star Trek quite nicely & when youi combine the cult & fan followingfs of BOTH B&B & Y&R, they almost rival that of the Star Trek franchise
In only a couple of English speaking nations does Y&R run any longer. In Australia it is on a cable channel, in the UK it has not run for over a decade. I don't think it runs anywhere where English is not the primary language.
Canada and an Australian cable web are not "global followings".
B&B never got the international distribution that Y&R got at its peak, and outside the US its impact is minimal.
Star Trek is a universally popular subject of sci-fi, aliens and the future. It works almost anywhere. B&B and Y&R are very American situations based on many situations that are very foreign outside the US, starting with suburban homes, two car families, high incomes and American social and cultural values.
Peru, Zimbabwe and Indonesia are not like the US and very American story lines don't work in most of the world. If you don't get this, imagine "Seinfeld" being run on Philippine TV!
It appears you're inventing something that doesn't exist. Soaps are of their day, and that day is passing. I'm not sure where one begins with the idea that two daily soap operas somehow are comparable to what amount to prime-time dramas in tone and production value (and yes, it's applying an old linear term to a streaming show, but I think it illustrates the overall point). A series that produces a few seasons worth of a limited number of episodes is not remotely comparable to the daily, or near daily, investment in a soap. And they payoff isn't going to be nearly comparable.
No adobo for you!

Telenovelas are quite in Latin countries & the Lating networks here (And have wealthy families too) so it wouldn't take much for B&B & Y&R to be translated into Latin
As for the Phillipines, I can't attest to that as I don't know of any Phillipine TV shows or networks that are on in America
B&B still airs in the UK, Australia, France (as AMOUR, GLOIRE ET BEAUTÉ), and the Netherlands. I didn't check any other countries.
"Latin" countries are those where Latin was spoken about two millennia ago: France, Romania, Italy, Portugual and Spain.
The Languages of Latin countries are Spanish, French, Romanian, Italian, Portuguese and Italian and several dialects sometimes called languages.
There are no "Latin" networks in the US.
I think you are referring to "Latin America" where, principally Spanish and Portuguese are spoken (although French, Kreyol, Papiamento, Nahuatl, Quechua and a couple of hundred others native American tongues are spoken.
Now, as to soaps, called "telenovelas" in Spanish, those are done locally or regionally or in countries with a similar culture. They are based on social conditions, customs and traditions of those nations.
Interestingly, the soaps done in Mexico are "exported" to many countries, mostly developing nations. And some soaps are translated to Spanish and imported from nations like Turkey where similar appearances and customs are portrayed.
Latin America is not a "poorer" version of the USA. Customs, behaviors and social conditions are quite different and those "gringo" soaps you mention would have zero or less relevance.

Jennifer Aniston allegedly upset over ‘Days of Our Lives’ plan to ‘kill off’ dad
John Aniston starred in the soap opera as Victor Kiriakis from 1985 until his death last November at the age of 89.
nypost.com
The Jennifer Aniston article is trying to make something.out of nothing. What is she upset about? Well, the character of Victor will be killed off in a plane crash, and Jennifer doesn't like to fly. And that's it...yeah, whatever Jennifer, I don't think DOOL is required to pander to your star diva demands on a show that you had no part of.
It may be a utterly trashy clickbait story.
The Daily Mail wrote their own article
Jennifer Aniston 'being comforted by Justin Theroux after dad's death'
The NY Post item says their source was the Daily Mail.
The Post took what the Daily Mail said, distorted it, and made it into their own clickbait story which isn't what the original said.
______________________
A fact (which the articles don't mention):
Back on February 12, Jennifer posted on instagram that it was her birthday, and posted a photo of her parents. Stephen Nichols posted a comment onto that IG post. He said
"Happy Birthday, Jennifer. Just prepping a Days script which honors your dad, airing in August.
So obviously Jennifer has known about the tribute for months.
