Is it too little, too late?
The new Days of our Livesshows produced by Edward Scott (formerly of The Young and the Restless from 1976 until this year) have hit the air, and I checked them out.
Those classic touches -- close-ups that reveal nose hairs, roaming camera shots that focus on a vase of flowers to begin the scene, better performances from actors, subtle music cues that don't hit you over the head -- are showing up on Days of our Lives since Ed Scott has come on board. I'm kind of excited about it, as a soap opera viewer for 30+ years.
Days has been plagued by poor writing and production for so long, it's no wonder the viewers have drifted off to other programming. Who knows? A return to the Bill Bell style with the classy touch may be just what saves this show from cancellation in 2009.
