Help Save Days, Fire Dena Higley. The sole reason Days is being destroyed!
The ping ponging of characters back and forth is a true detriment to the show. Characters who've been developed for decades are suddenly doing things that make little to no sense, and it's not doing anything for the ratings. Go back to the drawing board. Figure out what works. Watch scenes from years when the ratings were good, and follow that formula. Days doesn't have time to play games.
