Days of Our Lives’ 1-2 p.m. slot is some juicy placement for a daytime show, and NBC could bump the soap opera to make room for Kelly.
If NBC chooses not to find a new spot for Days of Our Lives — which has been airing new episodes nearly every weekday since 1965 — then it might finally be the end for the soap.
If Kelly does choose to do a daytime show, it’s going to need a timeslot.
ABC, for instance, canceled its own long-running soaps All My Children and One Life to Live in 2011 to make room for daytime talk shows like The Chew and The Revolution (which got canceled).
