I shouldn't have used the word stunt. As someone who has turned into ATWT only moderately, the storm and the stalker story were stories I noticed as promotable and intriguing -- out of the ordinary. I am very glad to see ATWT is still doing well in the ratings even without undue promotion or the culmination of a story arc, as compared to ABC, which has pinned its sweeps on the return of a 'fat, middle-aged woman no one wants to see in a love story,' (although what OTHER story are people really tuning into GH for right now?)

Interesting....

AMC was pretty boring last week - so I understand that. I'm interested to see how the ratings are for November sweeps...

GH - Laura's return didn't get a 3.0 - but I'm not surprised....they've been in the 2.5's for a LONG time now...ABC stunts don't get any of their shows over a 3.0 anymore - last year when AMC was at a 2.5 and then Explosion occured, they only got a 2.9 for the week...since GH is averaging 2.5's now, no return, stunt, or anything will get them over a 3.0 anymore IMO - until ABC soaps stop this BS they are feeding us - and Frons quits changing things and making it bubblegum. (Hope that makes sense...lol).

I'm impressed that ATWT is consistently getting #3 with above 2.6 ratings....I mean it's a good show, even though it can be boring sometimes - so I'm impressed and happy they are consistent.

I was hoping Y&R would reach 4.5 but maybe next week! And I thought GH would have higher ratings than that. They did well but I thought that they would get closer to 3.0 with Laura's return. It will be interesting to see what they do for this week.

And AMC...poor, poor, floundering AMC. The show is getting the ratings it deserves. But congrats to GL for doing so well!! I didn't think I would ever see the day where GL would be doing the same or almost better than AMC. FIRE FRONS!!! FIRE MCTAVISH!!! Do it now ABC before it is too late!!!

I was thinking the same thing but didn't say anything. I have not found the show boring in quite awhile, but last week was a lot better week for me.

The memorial wasn't boring but it wasn't what it should have been - but far from boring. And the Halloween Ball hasn't been ATWT's best party, but it is not the worst either. I am enjoying the costumes, and all.

Frons will keep his job and so will everyone else.

AMC's ratings will go up because they're so damn low and, compared to the past 6 months stuff actually happens next week.

In December though Colby, Sean and Sydney will be front and centre again because Frons likes AMC to go after the college students/teens who are at home over Christmas. Remember December 2002 with JR,Laurie,Jamie and Joni?

The Carey hobags are taking over the show as was shown by the episode counts for October, even Kendall wasn't on that much compared to Babe and Josh.

The show is too Babe/Josh/Dixie centered. 3 of the most hated characters on the show right now, yep I'm not surprised that the ratings for AMC are in the toilet.

I am not sure what the ratings will do for AMC. Even though they have a few things happening for sweeps, a lot of the audience is pretty fed up with the show right now. Sweeps sound boring to me and they aren't enough to get me watching again. They have alienated so much of the audience I don't know that what they are going to show will help them any. I guess we will find out when the ratings come out next week.

I thought Hal's tribute was great it was a good show, my problem is with Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of last week, that is what was boring. Friday was also good with the Ball starting, and this week with the ball so far has been fantastic, I have enjoyed everyday this week so far.

    • 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.
