Days of Our Lives POLL: Is It Time To Kill The Possessed Devil Storyline? Viewers Sound Off

Days of Our Lives fans have spoken: the majority think it’s time to move on from all of the “devil” storylines that have taken over Salem this past year. In fact, many have noticed that the ratings for the otherwise hit NBC soap have gone downhill and they think the devil certainly has something to do with it. Here’s what you need to know.

Days of Our Lives POLL: Is It Time To Kill The Possessed Devil Storyline? Viewers Sound Off

According to reports, Days of Our Lives has seen a slump in the ratings the week of April 4 to 8. The soap took a big dip in the ratings across all key demographics. While the show did see 1.59 million viewers this past week, they lost 454,000 viewers compared to this time two years ago. Also, Days of Our Lives saw the lowest ratings last week since November 2021.

Of course, it didn’t take long at all for both fans and critics to weigh in on the matter. Many of them took to social media to write, “The Possession was done to perfection with Marlena, with a twinkle in the eye. They even got Eileen Davidson back for it. But now, without that element, it just seems stretched. Like no. Move on,” along with, “They should have had Johnny pretend to be possessed by the devil for publicity just for his new film if they wanted to continue with that storyline. That would have been different. Can you imagine the fallout from Sami, Marlena and others once they found out what he had done.”

Another fan wrote, “Even in 2022 you can successfully tell a story for several months if there is good acting, good plot points and some kind of logic in the storytelling albeit a supernatural story. I don’t think Days’ possession storyline has had all those three things at all times. That’s why the ratings have not been good.”

Needless to say, Days of Our Lives fans will have to tune in to find out what will happen next.

Get rid of the ridiculous devil story line. It never should have been revisited in the first place, but it has certainly gone on long enough.

So done with the Devil story line, it was done years ago. Why is everything so repetitive? Move on. I am almost ready to stop watching if this devil line continues. Also, get at least a little realistic with the hospital security and the prison security. Nothing is even remotely close to the how things should be. Please move on!!!

I have watched days from the very 1st episode. Loved it from the beginning but it has gradually changed over the years. The latest storyline would have to be the worst storyline I have ever seen, ok to begin with but has been carried on far too long. Time for the devil to go to hell

The devil storyline has gone on way too long. It has reached the point where it appears that the writers have no creativity left and have gone on vacation. I’ve been watching Days for decades and there were always wondered stories that were built around mystical situations. Give us some of those and send the devil back to hell.

Ever since they brought the Devil line back I have seldom watched. They have done it far too often, if the writers are not able to come up with new story lines than maybe they need to retire. They need new , fresh ideas not the same old, same old. I have watched this show pretty much since it started, so when I see the same thing over and over, you lose me. Also seems as if they have a story line I see the same thing on other shows, are they working together ?

I’ve watch DOOL for over 25 yrs. I have found myself not even turning the show on or recording if I’m not going to be home. I think you’ve beat that devil so much I absolutely can’t stand to watch any of those story lines I’m so over it. Not interesting at all. Please get rid of that story line. It’s so over kill!! One person was enough but this whole thing that just keeps dragging on, makes me want to stop watching it all together.

I have been a fan since the show started. But, I haven’t watched it in months because of this devil nonsense! I have lived without it all these months and just might not come back once the devil is finally gone!

Please kill the devil story line. If you have to have something that you have done 25 years ago, then the soap has no potential moving forward.

I have totally lost interest in a show I’ve watched for 50 years. Not only has the demon possession disgusted me but the fact that so many characters have decided they are now gay is disgusting. Each new character added to the show seems to bring with them another bad storyline.

It is most definitely time for Satan to be gone. And also these “gay” people. This is one reason I have stopped watching. Days is not any good any more.

I have stopped watching after 50 years,if it gets rid of this devil crap and maybe have people working instead of being in bed all the time might be interesting.

Please wrap up the possession story line, it has caused enough drama that can be written around for quite some time.

I stopped watching during the first possession storyline, and I quit the second time as well. At first I thought it would end after Halloween, then hoped for Christmas, then hoped for February, then quit checking back in altogether. Who even likes this????

I don’t watch DOL when the possessed devil storyline is on. I change to another channel to watch a different soap because I can’t stand the devil story. It is stupid and very overdone. They need to quash it all together.

At a time that there is so much evil in the world, the last thing viewers want is more evil. I stopped watching at Christmas because of the evil story line and haven’t been back. If DOL continues on this story line of evil, pain, destruction, I won’t be back.
