Yeah...but boy I'm worried. I've never prayed so hard that people just don't watch AMC.

AMC needs to tank completely.

To the Neilsen-ers out there: Watch Days, read a book, do anything but watch AMC!

Although I'm not convinced anyone will be fired if AMC does tank...except for great actors of course.

I do agree with you about the Carey girls - do not like either of them.

But I hate Zach. I wish that character would go away. He does absolutely nothing for me. And I want all the Laverys gone. I hate all of them. And I can't stand any of the teens - worse set of teens ever on AMC and I thought the JR/Jamie/Laurie/Joni set was the worst but I change my opinion.

And as far as Dixie, she is one of the only reasons I enjoy the show at all the times I tune. She and Kendall (of the actresses that are featured) are the best things about the show for me. I know the Zendall fans hate her, and there is a lot of stuff I don't like about her character anymore, but she has not been completely spoiled for me yet.

Go ATWT!!!!

I don't think we can say Craig's return is the sole reason why the show is up. IF Hunt Block had returned then yes, but it's a recast who isn't very well known to the younger viewers.

GO GL!! Kick AMC's boo-tay.

Glad to see the rises for DAYS in HH, 18-34/18-49...the show really deserves the gains.

Also good to see ATWT with solid numbers.

GENERAL "Laura Stunt" HOSPITAL with a 2.7.....I would say the stunt only half worked...what will be REALLY telling is their rating next week.

AMC hitting all-time lows in 18-49/18-34 and 25-54 is music to my ears...maybe NOW something will be done!

Stunt or not, they're still gonna get the ratings, which is more than any other soap can say. Stunts work. No one cares if it's temporary. They'll still be able to say they won sweeps or at least did better than 6 other shows.

I thought Hal's memorial was not only boring but lame.

The show revolves around Jade and Craig so that's one reason why I'm bored right now. Give Luke, Henry, Barbara and Lucinda something significant to do and the show would be interesting and fun again. But I'm very happy the ratings are good because I do not want this show to be canceled and a contract renewal is happening soon.

Interesting that ATWT is consistently ahead of DAYS.

Apparently, Hogan Sheffer was the weakest link there. Now, Days is going through another sweeps with nothing exciting happening.

I don't like to be a downer, but I'm just not impressed with Sheffer as yet.

:lol: to GH. To me the stunt failed. This is the week it should have got a big number because it was Laura waking up and reuniting with Luke. Sure they are promoting it to high hell but if it can't even hold on to the 2.7 it does have through November they won't win sweeps. If they do hold on to it and manage somehow to hold at least 3rd them the stunt halfway succeeded but I don't think that will happen. GH will see a gain at the end of the month for their next little disaster and for the actualy Luke and Laura anniversary but the weeks between now and then I don't see good things for them.

GO GL!! I wish they had gone up more but still tying AMC was great. I hope they pass OLTL next so Frons will wake up.

I knew ATWT would do good because of Hal's service. While it was very disappointing, it was going to get a ratings. ATWT is a tad boring right now bit it's better then Y&R right now IMO. I did think Y&R was a little better last week then what it has been lately though.

I knew Days would only get a +1 for the week because other shows had alot going on. Steve/Kayla was going to give them a number and I think they may see another +1 this week too because they are in the promo again this week. Steve/Kayla is what brought many fans back so hopefully more come back as NBC is promoting them more. It sucks Passions only got a +1 for the Ivy reveal and for MW's return but that is what they get for not promoting Ivy's reveal heavily.

It was a much better week for most shows though.

Well, I guess you didn't read the November spoilers because lots of action there :) .

    • 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.
