NBC Boss Addresses "Days of Our Lives'" Future: 'It's Not Going Anywhere'

It appears the sands will continue to flow through the hourglass for the foreseeable future.

Addressing the fate of its only daytime soap, NBC Chairman Robert Greenblatt expressed confidence that "Days of Our Lives" would remain on the air beyond its current contract cycle, which expires in September.

“I think Days is going to stick around,” Greenblatt told reporters Sunday at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour in Pasadena. “I don’t know that I’m at liberty to say that officially yet, but it’s not going anywhere.”

"Days" currently ranks last in the ratings among the four remaining soaps, averaging 2.3 million viewers.

It recently tied an all-time in women 18-49 (0.7).

That's good news! At least one soap is going to stick around. I haven't watched Days in years but I would be sad to see it go since I have such a history with it and such fond memories.

Good news!!!! I must say I am shocked though. I thought for sure it would be cancelled this year.

That's why I'm taking this announcement with a grain of salt!

Like sands through the hourglass... "Days of Our Lives" will keep airing at least through September 2014, NBC announced Wednesday.

"We are thrilled to announce that Days of Our Lives is not going anywhere. It is NBC's longest-running drama series by far and is one of the most historic brands in television," NBC Entertainment President Jennifer Salke said in a statement.

This week marked "Days'" 12,000th episode. In November, the show will celebrate its 48th anniversary.

Think NBC saw how much ABC's been struggling since taking AMC and OLTL and don't want to follow the same boat!
