Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers note that fans of the soap got hit with a major blow recently when Eastlink cable stated they will lose access to over 30 Corus Entertainment channels, including Days, as an agreement was unattainable during carriage negotiations with Corus. Viewers will still be able to watch DOOL on the Global TV app; however, they’ll gain access a day behind.

I have been a fan of Days of our Lives since the show came on the air in the 1960’s. I would be so sad and disappointed if I cannot see Days any longer.
