Well, given that GH had a .6 spread, a 2.9 to a 2.3, they aren't keeping viewers. All three had higher Mondays and Tuesdays, but went down for the rest of the week. OLTL and AMC had 2.2s. Laura's return isn't going to automatically ensure a 3.0 for every day through November, and GH's rise may only have a small impact on AMC/OLTL.

Yay! for ATWT! :D Glad to see them at #3. Surprised at B&B's numbers. :o Didn't Taylor confess to killing Darla last week? I am also surprised at GH's numbers for Monday and Tuesday. What happened to make them so high?

While I'm not a fan of AMC's Zendall, it looks like everyone who likes them together tuned in to raise the ratings for Tuesday's show.

I just hope an occasional slight ratings rise won't mean McT can keep her job. AMC and OLTL deserve to be below GL, imo!

DAYS won't get the type of ratings fans want until they do a big event. The stories are still in a transition period, IMO. I'm going to wait until November or even February sweeps when Hogan can officially wipe out JER's stories and launch his own. He was known for his big stunts on ATWT, so we just need to wait!

VERY impressed with Y&R's ratings, they have really deserved it. The faster pace is probably what brings the viewers in. Hopefully they stick around. It's also nice to see B&B rise so much, but they don't deserve it! I guess we can give up any hope that they'd fix the show. Same for GH. After these sweeps we will never lose Guza! I refuse to watch Laura's return. I'm watching todays episode right now and I'm going to cut it off.

They have won again with their stupid sweeps stunts!

Days is in transition. I think there are still a lot of people who don't trust it and just kind of wonder in and out.

I really am liking Days now. I'd like to see more of Steve and Kayla, and I think Sheffer has plans for them. The show is very good even without them getting the time they deserve.

You know I really wish Billy Warlock was staying. They could have hooked him up with Billie. It would have been fun to see a romance begin between them. He even has chemistry with Samatha! There are any number of story angles for him.

Come on Hogan, bring him back. LOL.

The ratings were beyond odd this week. The ABC and CBS soaps were all over the place number wise, but NBC declined, which sucks because DAYS and PASSIONS have really been good lately. They are doing well in the demos (so happy PASSIONS was .1 away from DAYS in the 18-34 demo) but overall they dropped. I really don't understand why. Hopefully the weeks to come will show the recently improved quality of both shows in the ratings.

    • 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.
