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.
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.”
So, does this mean that the “possessed” storylines need to be quashed once and for all? That’s what it seems like, according to Days of Our Lives fans. Needless to say, Days of Our Lives fans will have to tune in to find out what will happen next.

so sick of that devil story line that I have stopped watching and now watching the young and the restless .I mean how many time do you let the devil jump from one person to the next ?enough is enough writer can't you come up with something else or get new writers that knows something beside the devil
DOOL writers finally pushed me away!! I only check in on Ben and Cierra. I haven't watched fully since the devil jump to Johnny, I didn't like the storyline 25 years ago, or at Halloween, or now...March, 5 months after Halloween!!! Corday must be trying to get Days Canceled!!!
Days of our lives should STOP the devil storylines. Enough is enough!!!
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.

YES ! ! ! END the possession story line, already ! ! ! BORING ! ! ! I've been watching since DAYS began. I'm about ready to STOP ! ! !
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!!!
enough is enough can the story line
THE DEVIL STORY RAN 6 Months TOO LONG!! End it.
Days needs needs new writers . It sane story lines over and over and it use to be I couldn’t wait for it to come on now no interest in it .I can’t see it get better tell the get a new writer it needs to be back it was in old days when u couldn’t wait to see what happening next !
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
Yes get rid of all the devil stuff , tired of it!!! I've watched Days forever but so tired of this devil
