I'm not surprised at all about AMC. I could barely get through last Friday's show with all the Babe propping by Adam & Dixie to JR. That, combined with this stupid serial killer storyline, Ryan/Blandie, David Bowie wannabe Zarf hitting on Bianca, and the mystery of Zach's past were the reasons I didn't bother to tape it this week.

I think AMC is going to keep dropping in the next few weeks unless they start airing some better storylines soon.

That's how I feel, holding at 2.5 isn't that bad considering. And was Steve getting his memory back really advertised alot on NBC? I watched NBC shows I think 3 nights last week, and I dont remember seeing one single promo for last Friday's show. Could be wrong there, but I think NBC needed to promote that more. I think ratings for this week for DAYS will be 2.7. This week's been phenomenal.

ETA: I also think that with many colleges letting out of finals this week and such, and students goig home, we could see some increases. I hope so anyway.

I think a lot of it has to do with us ladies taking advantage of the nice weather/getting our Christmas shopping done while the kids are still in school! I know with both Y/R and DOOR being on SOAPNET I'm taking every opportunity right now with the kids in school to complete it and catching my Soaps in the evening on SOAPNET.

I guess it's a feather in ABC hat and not where it should belong w/these individual networks!

DAYS had a nice number monday but I think people (and I was one of them) were wondering were Steve and Kayla were they weren't on unti Friday (and that was a great episode). They previewed Steve and Kayla like they were going to be on it a lot. Y&R dips again this shows that they can eventually be taken over especially if other shows go up (i.e. DAYS, hopefull!)

Well the numbers for Days is quite disappointing. When last week's numbers came out, I said that I hoped that Days would go back to 2.6 or even 2.7. It's a shame that it didn't go up at least .1. The thing is that the Thursday and Friday of the prior week had a 2.6, then Monday of the current week had 2.7. I wish that Days had been able to maintain those numbers. But then there was a precipitious decline starting Tuesday. I wonder what happened (or maybe didn't happen) on that Monday to cause people to stop watching the show towards the latter end of the week?

Each week I go back and forth b/w being completely dejected over Days' numbers vs remaining optimistic that after a couple of weeks these numbers will get better.This week I'm a little more optimistic. I've noticed that fanbases are mollified and a little bit happier over what has occurred this week or what is about to occur if they're spoiled. Days has been incredible this past week and I hope that the ratings next week reflects how good it has been. It will be really unfortunate if the show's ratings don't improve over the next several weeks. Long-time viewers stayed around for so long watching the junk. They'll be missing out on some good stuff, if they don't check back into the show.

How ironic it would be if HS were able to turn Days completely around and the ratings continued to stagnate? Maybe ironic isn't the appropriate word, just pathetically sad maybe?

I just hope/pray that Corday/NBC gives HS the time to get the ratings up if a ratings miracle doesn't occur in the next several weeks or so....

DAYS tying for #1(GH) in the 18-49 demo is great, it has been awhile since DAYS has claimed that the #1 spot. Y&R tanking to a 1.7 is weird to see. B&B dropping to all time lows is surprising to me just because I thought Betty White would be a hit with viewers. I honestly feel DAYS is in great shape to start becoming a solid #1 in the 18-49 demos again in the near future.

I am with you ademption, I am disappointed in DAYS numbers and just hope Corday/NBC give the ratings a chance to go up again. If DAYS stays this solid I just can't see the ratings saying at around the current 2.5-2.6 level.

    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.

    • 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.
