I know what you mean.

Scene 1: Mimi whining about losing Shawn

Scene 2: Hope whining to Patrick about Bo losing her trust

Scene 3: EJ telling Sami she needs to come clean with Austin

Scene 4: Mysterious Gloved Hand lurking

*Opening Sequence

Who can blame S&K fans for tuning out after seeing this?

Actually my dear, Chad and Whitney are together because of the FANS. JER said that in his interview last month. Even he was shocked that the majority of fans wanted them together, so he gave them what they wanted.

Wow... AMC was doing a lot better summer of 04... they really slid down... OLTL was awful until DH took over, then it got very good for a bit (evidenced in the ratings climb) but then went right back to what didn't work under the previous HW- focus on newbies and 'star couples' and not focusing on characters folks care about. Funny how the ratings jumped when they focused on core families and characters and plunge when that is ignored... on AMC and OLTL. This makes me think it's not really the HWs but higher ups at ABC.

GH has really taken a plunge, eh? I only tuned in briefly to see Robert back, and Anna... but the overall mob stories don't hold me there, so I didn't stay. I don't know most of those people anymore.

JER is all for torturing couples and characters, perhaps more than any other soap writer.

I really don't know if Matt, Austin, and Christie leaving will cause DAYS' ratings to sink. We forget not everyone has Internet access and reads soap mags. There are still people still spoiler free, and watch or tape not knowing what we know. There are also people that watch soaps for all stories and all characters, not just a select few. That's what REALLY matters.

I agree Bree but even those online or that are in the know with spoilers still mostly watch for stories and the show itself. The ratings for Days reflect that, especially the last few weeks where Days has done really well while other shows have fallen apart. Good writing and good stories=good ratings so certain couples or characters leaving is not enough to kill ratings. Now if there is a mass exodus of popular characters then maybe there is trouble but it has only been a few so I don't see an issue right now.

LOL The truth hurts, doesn't it?

Ask TC actor if Passions is better.

Ask Ivy actress if Passions is better.

Ask Sam actor if Passions is better.

Ask Whitney actress if Passions is better.

And that's only for starters.

I won't even go into how Amelia Marshall, a veteran of soaps such as Guiding Light, was completely WASTED.

The ratings will be at 1.0 by the end of the year. Nobody likes to have their chains jerked for no reason.

If you believe Reilly, then I have a pot of land to sell you. lol What fans? The ones who are still watching and increasing the ratings? lol So Reilly would give the oh so many Incest fans what they wanted and not do the same for the many Ethan and Theresa fans? Or the Luis and Sheridan fans? lol Yeah, right. lol

1.0 by the end of the year.

    • Of the so-called "contract" cast members, I'd venture to say these are recurring: Bryton James, Camryn Grimes, and (possibly) Michael Graziadei.  I've suspected since 2018 that Kate Linder and Christian LeBlanc are recurring.  And I believe we all know Miss Ordway is, because she said so. lol.  
    • Dante blaming Gio instead of his dweeb son and the other dweeb was just ridiculous. Gio's paternity story is going in circles with no reveal. I've already started fast forwarding Drew and his stupid ho Willow's story. Kristina's story is beyond dumb with no great payoff.
    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
