Thanks for that! :) InTurn is a spin-off from As the World Turns where they search for a new cast member. It's similar to I Wanna Be A Soap Star. The cast from the show judge their scenes and Chris Goutman (Executive Producer) decides who goes home. The final three get to appear on the show and the viewers vote for the winner. It didn't air on TV, it airs on CBS' broadband channel.

Thanks! I saw that and had no idea what the show was about.

In case anyone is curious the National Dog Show, which ran on NBC on Thursday, got a 4.4

Why is DAYS and PASSIONS Friday episode's called specials? They were normal episodes like any other week NBC was just the only network to show soaps that day. But I'm not complaining because that means DAYS is slightly up without counting Friday and dividing it by 4.

I'm not exactly sure on this, but I believe they were considered specials since ABC and CBS aired no soaps that day, and it was the day after the big Thanksgiving Day holiday. The same goes with why ABC's Thursday soaps did not count in the totals for the week (plus they were reruns anyway).

jcar-NBC was the only network with soaps and that day after Thanksgiving is kind of a holiday for some so I think there was the option to make a special episode from both shows if NBC chose which I am glad they did.

I am very happy Days maintained. I had a feeling the short week would help it and it was solid last week but this week worries me a bit so I hope they can at least maintain for this week.

ATWT is lucky it didn't drop sooner with the month it had. They are just paying for it now although last week was bit better then the rest of the month.

ABC-all I can say is I told you so. Last week was great on GH and it still dropped. People aren't stupid. When is Frons going to realize you need to give the fans what they want and what the fans want is not just good drama and writing during sweeps. There are 12 months in a year not 3 and it's about time GH start understanding that. As for AMC and OLTL, it's only going to get worse IMO.

The fact that a dog show did better then all of the soaps scares me :( .

I'm so relieved that Days maintained their 2.6 rating from last week. I know that some fans are unhappy with the show b/c their faves aren't together or they think it's boring etc, but I just hope that they remain patient with the show and keep watching. The shows for December look to be better than November's shows ....

Also, kudos to Days for their tie with GH for 3rd place. It was more b/c GH slipped in the ratings, but 3rd place is 3rd place....

Now if Days could only get back their 18-49 demos again and everyone on the set could get their ice cream again.... :)

It used to be from the week before Christmas-Mid January that had the big increases. Last year there wre no big ones until Days got a jump for Zach's death the first two weeks of the year and even that wasn't a big jump (more like +2 or +3). Thanksgiving hardly ever has huge gains from what I remember. Usually alot of the show go down Thanksgiving week due to less shows and traveling and the like.

I am hopeful the soaps will see big gains in December and January as used to be the custom. Last year was really the first year it didn't happen but there wasn't many big events during the holiday weeks last year so hopefully this year there will be and the ratings will improve.

I hope so. :)

    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 I just loved Valerie on my early '90s TV shows. This one gets me. 
    • I assume they did at some point during the finale...
    • Kelly was a horribly-written character overall. Just think, two Emmy-winning actresses (including Cynthia Watros, Nina, GH, and Annie, GL) couldn't make it work. Pamela is campy, but so are Dani, Vanessa, Leslie, and Joey. And, I don't want to be too judgy because my love for camp changes depending on the show. OLTL, DAYS, and some eras of GH had me rolling with the camp. However, Passions was overkill and I hated it. And, here, I can take it or leave it. It's ok in small doses (note to RC). I see this show as more of a serious drama.
    • I think one of the reasons that pilot didn't get picked up was because Vicki L was associated more with being Thelma Harper and playing older then she was playing her own age.  It was a blessing it didn't get picked up, or we would have been deprived of the syndicated era of Mama's Family.   Also, worth noting a Pre Night Court Marsha Warfield and pre Perfect Strangers Rebecca Arthur in the cast.  All talented women, but stuck with a bad script. And the other pilot had a pre Fran Fine.. Fran Drescher as the best friend.  I think that pilot might have been picked up if Karen Valentine and Fran Drescher switched roles.
    • So, on rewatch....did Rick and Mindy never have sex? 
    • Cady had a fairly posh accent or manner as Rosanna - the character was a 180 from Dixie when she went to ATWT, and it was a huge success initially. As someone mostly only familiar with the nagging, miserable or clueless Dixie of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s it was what convinced me Cady could act. I thought she was incredible in her first run. Later, in future stints, her hair and story and performances were all over the place but a lot of that was down to the show for me. She brought some of Rosanna back with her to Dixie in her ill-fated return and a lot of people didn't like it, which I understood but I did think the character needed some change. I think she's had a little bit of the same persona and arch performance in every role she's played since, including Jennifer Horton at DAYS or Kelly at Y&R, who later became a maniac and was easily the worst work I've ever seen Cady do. It has kind of infected her overall mannerisms, I'll allow that, but I do think she brought Dixie back together as herself while still evolving the character when she returned to AMC again in 2012-13. Nonetheless, for me the upshot is that this is a character where Cady's kookier recent performance style suits the role. But I can understand it grating for people.
    • Yeah, Loretta Swit's passing stings. My late dad LOVED the show (he died last November) and watched it religiously. In first run and repeats.  And I was literally born the day after the show's premiere, so I grew up with it! I know many loved later, softer Margaret, but I loved Early Hot Lips. In real life, I'm all for less misogyny, but to me, the early years of M*A*S*H were just funnier. May Loretta Swit rest in peace. Thanks for all the memories connected to my dad!

    • I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.
