Look at it this way, Days hasn't been doing this well in the ratings in ages! And it's not a fluke success, it's consistant! With Hogan arriving, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it can pass that piece of garbage known as The Bold and the Beautiful. Just be happy that right now things are holding fairly well!

In happier news, YAY FOR THE ATWT RATINGS! FINALLY one of their big stories causes their ratings to rise! Seeing them tied with Days makes me so incredibly happy! I just hope it can stay there! ATWT is truly one of the best soaps on air now, but it is so underrated. I hope the new teen viewers tuning in for the slasher stick around and see how a real some is done!

PRAISE JESUS to the ABC soap ratings! I really am speechless on the state of ABCDaytime. The View has actually managed to turn itsself around with Rosie, this was the PERFECT time to revamp the entire lineup and promote that quality was back at ABCDaytime. Look at ABCPrimetime, they were in bad shape until Desperate Housewives came around. ABCD needs a MAJOR wakeup call!

Days and Y&R are trying to get it together, why aren't these other soaps running around like crazy trying to catch up? Those two and ATWT are putting the rest to shame, IMO!

That would be my guess. I know that the final results average is calculated based on the original full numbers, not the rounded dailies.

I take it all those 2.4s are definitely rounded up from 2.35, and that 2.2 is actually a 2.15. That's about the only way that can happen.

I was hoping for better numbers for Days but really the wedding did well. Thursday and Friday killed Days and that was when alot of people usually leave for Labor Days vacations and such. Plus, people went back to college and there was Ernesto down south to deal with. There were alot of factors but really Days did good enough to hold on because in the past it would've dropped further. Days, ATWT, and Y&R bascially held on so that is good news in a week like last. I kinda wish Days did the Sami wedding a week earlier instead of spending that whole week on building it up because I think they would've gone up a there wasn't so much going on that week but oh well I hope numbes go up for this past week because Days was AWESOME!!! I can't wait to see total viewers either because if Days did well there then I am ok with it since they seem to have done well in demos.

I am happy for ATWT-I hope when Days takes over #2 they take hold of #3. :)

As for ABC, they deserve it. Nothing on either of the 3 shows is appealing and the writing and just everything about them stinks. They held on for awhile but finally they are free falling. Somebody should tell Frons that the reason why Y&R, Days, and ATWT are as high as they are is because of good writing (I can't include B&B at this point but it's still better then ABC). I hope GL can beat all 3 next week but I doubt it-CBS was preempted twice this week and ABC once so both networks may have some numbers issues next weel. I hope NBC can capitalize on this as they were on all week. Hopefully, some people sampled Days :)

Glad to see ABCD drop, drop, drop. They deserve it and further. I used to feel bad about cheering sucky ratings out of loyalty to my show AMC, but it is the ONLY thing TPTB will listen to (other than the official ABCD Firing Squads, er- Focus Groups). So Hell Yeah and bring on more until/

Could the consistent Thu-Fri drops (though that's been happening with ABCD, I think for a while or maybe it's just typically a Fri drop) was due to the upcoming Labor Day Holiday. People leaving early for a long weekend?

Anybody know what a standard rating for The View (I guess Pre=Rosie would be the fair comparison) is? Trying to ascertain how well the Soap "Not-So-Secret" Secrets Special sized up.

Thanks for the info!

As a long time AMC lover, it kills me to wish bad ratings on "my" show, but I fear that is the only way we'll ever get rid of the current regime...WE NEED NEW BLOOD AT AMC!

I hate not having a soap I love. I just can't get into any of the other shows. I have been watching ATWT just for the Luke/Holden/Lily/Lucinda scenes, though.

I really wish those rumors from a while back that Hogan Sheffer loved AMC and was coming aboard had turned out to be true. I haven't watched much of his current DAYS stint, mainly because none of the characters/actors on that show really do it for me.

They said Rosie's first day got about 4 million viewers.

I was surprised by Days numbers but the Holiday, kids heading off for college, last week of summer and people out, and mothers probably out preparing for their kids first week of school played an impact. Plus, the hurricane too.

I would think ATWT finished third however and Days fourth?

followed by GH, OLTL, and then AMC?

Ernesto hit on Friday.

As bad as the ratings for AMC and GH are there is hope. Laura is returning for a brief period on GH. It's little but it is something. Bianca is returning on AMC. OLTL meanwhile pimps Claudia as the next pivotal character while they say that they have no money or story for Kevin and Kelly and Nora and Viki act as little more than wall paper. OLTL is so far removed from the direction they need to be going it's frightening.

LOL at ABC.

GL needs to beat them...at least for one week!! Next week only 3 episodes will be counted, so that will throw things off for CBS' ratings.

Since GH is no longer in the top 3, it's time for B&B to follow suit. The show definitely does not deserve a #2 rating anymore. The other 3 CBS soaps (yes, even GL IMO) are so much better than that trash.

    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
