It looks like from what Toups and Lskreet are saying it's something like this:

1.(1) Y&R 4.3

2.(2) B&B 3.1

3.(5) DOOL 2.6

4.(3) ATWT 2.5

5 (3) GH 2.4

5 (5) OLTL 2.4

5.(7) AMC 2.4

8.(8) GL 2.2

9.(9) PSNS 1.5

I suspect they will post the complete file pretty soon. DOOL is looking good.

All ABC soaps seem to be in a race for the bottom. GH is probably a little off because of Wednesday and the news conference.

Thanks Toups and Lskreet for checking thise numbers :) .

I knew something was up with Days and Passions numbers. Great week for NBC!!1

Congrats go Days and Hogan!!! This is hopefully the beginning of bigger things and +2 in his first full week is excellent. Back in 3rd place on our own is nice and everything else is looking good. Even though Passions is pretty bad right now I still want to see it do well so good for them.

I am hoping GL has a good week and passes all of ABC and I am also hoping ATWT climbs along with Days to pass B&B. Both those shows are much better then B&B IMO.

I know I'm repeating myself but what Young and the Restless is doing these days is really interesting. Look at their numbers. At a time when most soaps are just hanging on, they are picking up viewers again. They are 1 million viewers a day ahead of their nearest competitor. They have almost, not quite, but almost twice as many viewers a day as OLTL and AMC.

I watch Y&R about once a month, and it's very good. I know part of it is the time the show is on, but a whole lot of it is that it is a good show. There is something to be said for doing something that works.

Y&R is well acted and well written. The stories are multigenerational and from the little I've viewed seem to make sense. For example can you imagine Niki in the room with her children and not acknowledging they are there? They appear to do all right that ABC does all wrong.

I have watched the show for about 13 years and I was in love with it earleir this year but since May it has been crap so I totally agree.

I also agree about Passions. I am shocked they jumped but them going down in the ratings will not make changes happen. They are already low enough and any lower will just increase the cancellation risk so I don't want to see them do badly. Usually I would advocate lower numbers to force changes but they are low enough and should really be lower but I guess I feel sorry for them :lol: .

Nevertheless, I am happy for Days and hope it continues. Hope the catfight and word of mouth brought more fans in :) .

    • 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.
