The ice cream is something they do for the all important 18-34 demo not the Household ratings. Being number #1 in 18-34 demo is VERY important to the network because it one of the of the big things the advertisers look at when they shell out money cause they want that same age group buying their products. I think DAYS would of done better had they featured Steve/Kayla more last week they were only on one day (Friday)

NO they are right about the 18-34. I am trying to word this the right way. Days puts a very high emphasis in the 18-34 demo. They have for quite sometime. They got #1 in both the 18-34 and the 18-49 this week, but the demo they see as most important is the 18-34 (younger viewers).

You are right that most soaps put more emphasis in the 18-49 - in fact most all shows see that as the key demo group, but Days and Passions both adopted several years back the idea that the younger demo was what they were shooting for.

DAYS cast gets ice cream or I know used to if they won the 18-49 demo, not the 18-34 demo because they would have been getting ice cream the 10 years straight now.

I do agree NBC cares a lot about the 18-34 demo, definitely moreso than CBS and ABC but did you read anywhere where NBC said they are shooting for the 18-34 demo moreso than any other demo? I havent and was just wondering if you have.

I remember reading it somewhere, and when I first came here someone posted about it in one of the ratings threads.

So just basing it on those 2 things mostly. I remember especially during Langan's reign the big focus for Days was the 18-34 and the Teens.

I have not read anything in awhile, and would hope that they see the older 18-49 more important.

Thanks Steve, I had no idea it was posted here and would hope DAYS would change their minds and concentrate more on the 18-49 as well as 25-54 demo although I doubt they concentrate on the 25-54 demo near as much as the 18-34 and 18-49 demos.

Not just Days but I wish all soaps would learn that balance is important. I posted it in another thread, but to me no producer anymore seems to figure out this. To me if they used balance among their cast and who they feature - they would hit all the demos.

It has been proven in the past in primetime that there is an older segment out there who watches TV. That older segment kept Murder She Wrote in the top 10 for years, and NBC used to have a very successful ratings night on Tuesday nights with In the Heat of the Night, Matlock, and another show (forgot the name).

If they gave the episodes balance, then a show could pick up viewers from each important demo, and overall by doing that they would raise the HH's too. But alas it will never be.

It dosn't surpirse me that Y&R has dropped. This show used to be must-watch for me but I have only been watching it 1-2 times a week now. It's just gotten kind of boring.

I'm glad Passions went up. This show has improved so much. I hope they continue to raise in the ratings.

I wish AMC would go up. In my opinion the show has gotten so much better than it has been in the past few months.

Days has gotten so much better too, I hope it will rise in the ratings in the upcoming weeks.

Did you see Y&R daily ratings? They are taking a beating. i dont Those numbers are like smith. This is a little scary LML betta pump her brakes. Passions has had sharp jumps. Everyone is raving about it. I quit watching I may have to go back. ATWT seeming to be dipping too. Poor AMC/OLTL. GL seems to be losing in its ratings the last three weeks.

So Betty White was on the Week of Dec 4-8. That is trully sad. A major disappointment. Y&R is really changin. I dvr my shows but I fond myself F through Nick n Philly. I cant take it. I even ff through anything with that horrible lily. Jack and Sharon are macking me sick too. Jack looks like he got high blood pressure. His face is ALWAYS red. I only like Katherine's story, and Jack vs Victor. The Carmen murder is getting stale, and the Brad thigh master game is getting redundant(SP?)

    • 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.
