Well I and many other fans think Y&R is still good. It is a matter of taste and personal preference. Not every story on the show is great, as it is on any show. But I still love it and look forward to seeing it. I think the quality is still great, and it deserves to be where it is at in the ratings.

And I still don't think Passions is great, and it will never be Masterpiece Theater. But that is what makes Passions what it is. It doesn't pretend to be that. When I watch Passions, I watch it for pure entertainment, and that is what it has been lately. I think the show is lots better than what it was during Vendetta and earlier this year. So I think it highly deserves the boost it got in the ratings.

I completely agree with you, KR. I've started watching Y&R during the summer and now, I just can't stand it.

Go DAYS! :D I'm so happy it went up about 400,000 viewers from the previous week and 218,000 more than last year. Pretty impressive, IMO. After all the stuff that just happened this week on DAYS and coming up next week, I think the ratings will go up another 2 points.

I still don't like the looks of daytime as a whole. Even with 2 shows picking up their viewership from last year - a change this week from when last week almost every show was down. At least we are not down over a million viewers. We are still down 892,000 viewers from this time last year.

The average HH rating for this time last year was 2.74. This year it is 2.6.

So overall we are down. I wish that would pick up - esp. viewers. The overall outlook for daytime soaps as a whole has not been good for several weeks now. The last time we showed an increase in viewers from this time last year was during July I think. I think that is when Rick did the totals and showed that we were up in viewers, but some pointed out that it was during that time last year that so many were without TV due to Hurricane Katrina.

Those numbers are fascinating. ABC is taking the biggest hit. OLTL's numbers are interesting in that they are taking the bigger hit over AMC. OL has appeared to be relatively stable in comparrison to AMC but those numbers show that it is taking a hit. I also love the fact that CBS is in positive numbers while ABC has the honor of the largest loss. Frons reaps what he sows. Exactly what is his plan to fix OL? Get rid of the few remaining things that work?

    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of 
    • FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM FEBRUARY 1973 & MAY 1973:

        FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM AUGUST 1973 & NOVEMBER 1973:
    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975. 
    • No. Ed and Holly were married and having problems. She had an affair with Roger and that's when Christina--Blake--was conceived. The rape happened much later, after Holly and Roger were married.
    • Was Blake the product of Roger raping Holly, or did that come after when they were a couple?
    • I really wish we could see that episode...absolutely, my memory could be faulty, it was a very long time ago. I'm not going to contradict what the actors said--there has to be a reason it made them so uncomfortable that they talked about it in the press and complained to TPTB. I think that was the first one where they made the point that they wanted to educate the audience about the subject.
