The show is fun and exciting but it's nothing fantastic. I see your point King but I think everyone sees exciting differently. Not everyone wants some huge gimmick or anything. I like what I am hearing for the next 3 weeks and beyond but some may not. It's all in an individual's taste. I wish something HUGE was happening but I don't even think it would equal good numbers. Days had goods reveals and events back in September and October when no one else was doing anything and they did nothing for numbers (probably because no one cared about JER's stories). GH is doing a big sweeps thing and it's doing nothing. GL is the only soap that is really making a push and I hope it lasts but who knows. It's only a 2.4 and that is alot to be excited about but I am not sure if they can maintain that unless some ABC fans have jumped ship to GL, which is not a bad decision in my book. I think the issue here is everyone has different tastes. I say Y&R is boring but some don't. No show can please everyone in every way so that is the way it goes. Overtime maybe Days will catch on with everyone but I think they will be fine and things will get better like the spoilers indicate.

Yeah, but GL went UP in the ratings while the other 2 went DOWN in the ratings. That's usually how it works. :lol: Much has been made because GL has tied AMC in the past only because AMC went down while GL stayed the same, but not this time!

It's all about spin though. Producers and GL will be able to spin this WONDERFULLY!

GL's spin will be: WE PASSED AMC AND OLTL!!! OUR EFFORTS ARE PAYING OFF!

OLTL and AMC's spin will be: WE ONLY GOT PASSED FOR ONE WEEK! IT WAS LUCK!

Aaaah, the double-edged sword...lackluster rise in rathing will be blamed on Genie, probably not intrinsic structural problems with Fronsie's fave show.

Go GL!

Keep dropping AMC (though I hate saing it as pathetic as things are in PV right now). Ratings and focus groups and young blonde actoresses are the only thing that speak to him and The House of Mouse. so tank, the ratings must!

I guess Simon and Carly sleeping together did nothing for ATWT ratings. They actually went down on Wednesday. ATWT's numbers stink only Monday and Friday are descent. I guess Laura's return was a bust. She wasnt all that much last week though. And wow GL at #6. :o I thought I would never see GL higher than #8. It looks like AMC is going GL's way with dumping the vets and telling stories around newbies.

Beth was good but what huge thing did she do? She climaxed stories that weren't even hers. She didn't start any stories so how do you know she would be doing a better job? Beth worked for two months and Hogan has only been here a month. Give the guy a break. Days' ratings were around the same during Beth's tenure from early August -early October so what would Beth offer? I understand some want more out of Days but let's be realistic. People are going nuts on Hogan way too early in the game.

    • 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.
