The end could be coming according to TVLine.com as the article i linked claims. Days ratings are down and the cast has been all let go of their contracts due to the ongoing renewal talks between NBC and Corday Productions. The old soap has been a staple of daytime TV for a few generations and looks to be limping to a possible end come summer 2020 (when the last new episodes air).
This is more sad if it goes as Days of Our Lives was a comical sensation back in 1990's when I was in High School. The series hired a writer who decided to do a funny demon possession storyline mixed with a clone saga nod (John Black). The whole deal even had this character seemingly inspired by the Jackal who was doing all this in Stefano.

The entire arc became something I remember girls in my VoTec class loving to watch as they'd detail who everyone was to us guys watching. We'd share laughs over it as Marlena acted goofy crazy and more. Those were the days.
Anyhow if Days is ending in 2020 , it will end after 6+ decades on the air and 14,000+ episodes by that time.
