East Coast fans of “Days of Our Lives” weren’t happy that the final moments of the final episode on NBC were interrupted Friday by a live speech by King Charles following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II Had gone.
“I understand the Queen died and that’s a big deal… in Europe. But we’re not a monarchy. We really rebelled against it. So we don’t need 24/7 coverage when Days Off Our Lives is airing its last episode on NBC,” tweeted one angry American fan — in all caps.
any other tweeted“This final episode of Days of Our Lives to ever air on NBC is disappointing. We are not British. Give it a rest!”
Chris Bedell Wrote, “So disgraceful of NBC for interrupting Days of Our Lives on its last day on regular TV for non-breaking news! Totally outrageous! Cable news exists for a reason!”
another fan saw That there wouldn’t be these kinds of news interruptions on Peacock: “You know I’m not going to miss the days of our lives on NBC interrupt after interrupt after interrupt, at least on Peacock we get to watch the whole hour “
Thursday’s episode was also postponed for live coverage of the Queen’s death. NBC reruns it on Friday mornings at 3 p.m.
The long-running soap, which debuted on the network in 1965, moved to NBC’s streaming service Peacock on Mondays. Viewers will require a Peacock Premium subscription to view.
“NBC Daily News” will now air in the old “Days of Our Lives” time slot.
Representatives for NBC and Peacock did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.
