I hope the ratings move for Hogan's material.There's always chance that after ATWT's stunt is over DAYS will take over number and if possible maybe the #2 position.October 9 for Hogan's material to air can't come soon enough.

sorry for the double post

Next week is Hogan/Meg's first week and BIG things are happening.

I wonder if NBC will promote the show in primetime? With everything that's going to happen it could potentially be huge in terms of ratings.

I'm not worried about Days. Once Hogan's SLs start to take shape more people will start tuning in regularly. LOL Today was only his first day! Bope has reunited but there is still Lumi, Steve and Kayla, Shelle and (ok maybe I'm of the minority) the KJ stuff coming. :P

Go ATWT!!! Glad to see it go up and be at #3 by itself. :) The number for AMC are bad. Three days of 2.2 are not a good sign. It looks like AMC will rank #8 in total viewers behind GL. :o

GO GL....Its about time....Now pass GH and OLTL and I will be verrrrrrrry happy!

I wish people will stop thinking that Hogan is going to make Days rise in the ratings on week one. It takes time to bring viewers back!!! I like the way he wrote ATWT but it had its weakest boring moments as well. Time will tell if Hogan is right for Days......

CONGRATS GL AND ATWT. I am rooting for GL to pass all of ABC. AMC is in alot of trouble and so are the other two.

I am so mad about Days. I just hope the stuff coming up gets them off 2.5. They have been stuck there for awhile and don't deserve to be.

Passions deserves it's numbers for the crappy month of September. This week was a little better but they have alot of work to do there.

Hope the demos and other numbers are good for Days.

I don't think a lot of viewers take a writer into consideration when choosing to watch a soap. Hogan Sheffer did a good job of turning ATWT around when he was hired. However, all those viewers that were lost during the Reilly regime are suddenly going to come back in droves.

One of the most common complaints about Sheffer is his habit of picking favorite characters and showcasing them, often to the detriment of other characters. Perhaps Sheffer will continue that habit at DAYS and alienate those viewers who don't like his new favorites. Was hiring Sheffer a good move? Yes, but the ratings are not going to automatically jump off the charts because his material just happens to be airing.

The ratings seem to bare that fact out. The general consensus on this board is that the quality of DAYS storytelling has improved of late, but the ratings are not reflecting that. Overtime, will the ratings begin to reflect that improvement? Possibly, but it isn't going to happen overnight, or even during the first week.

B&B has nothing to worry about, at least not in the short term considering the gap between it and DAYS is more than half a ratings point. That is more than the distance between DAYS and GL. DAYS fans need to be realistic concerning Sheffer's tenure of risk being disappointed.

I too don't see why people think Days will suddenly jump because Hogan's stuff is airing. It may go up a little but I don't expect it to skyrocket automatically. ATWT didn't when he was writing for them so I don't see why everyone is expecting for Days. I'm not belittling Hogan's work. Overall ATWT was pretty solid when he was there and there were some weak moments but he didn't skyrocket ATWT numbers. I'm not saying it can't happen to days, it's just unlikely. Overtime maybe...but not in a few weeks.

Does Sheffer get too much credit for "saving" ATWT? I think he might- no doubt he has his good points (and bad), but I think some ATWT fans will point to Lorraine Broderick's rather brief tenure as greatly improving the show after the 1996-97 debacle. Of course, Sheffer had some mess to clean up after Laiman's disastrous tenure...

    • Such a missed opportunity… 
    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • 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.
