McTavish is at AMC for the long haul and sadly I don't see how the show will maintain any sort of momentum after the SS story is over.

Dena gets a co-headwriter, Megan stays put, Guza isn't going anywhere. Looks like Alden & Smith really were just for show.

Wuh to the ow. Wow. DAYS' ratings are soooo depressing for me right now. The saddest thing is that it is so obvious why it is happening and why ALL the stories aren't working when watching. It's better, but still terribly blah.

Agreed on all counts. I think the college thing is helping GH out immensely. With those numbers, Latham's not going anywhere. :( The best we can hope for is she brings back the momentum she had going when she first came on board.

I'm really glad for GH and have mixed feelings about AMC's rise. I don't think AMC is producing good drama. What they're producing is a train wreck that people can't seem to take their eyes off of. At times, admittedly, I'm one of those people.

I kinda was too. I know I gave OLTL a harsh criticism not long ago, but I've been checking it out here & there last & this week and it's actually turning a corner. I can actually watch a whole episode and be entertained. That says something. Honestly, though, I hope they get their bump for this week because everything I've seen so far has been great! Plus, HBS has big stuff coming!

It makes no sense for Days. The week before is when the balance sucked and all the characters people didn't want to see were on and the show went up. Last week, there was a bit more balance and more happened and it goes down. I have no idea how to explain the ratings. I was expecting it to say the same. People can't blame this on the young characters that's for sure.

Days never goes out for sweeps and really not many shows have. Only GH is amping it up. AMC wasn't really that good last week. People bought into the Babe stuff and once that wears off they will drop. OLTL deserves the numbers. They are better.

B&B- I have no clue why they rose. I wasn't expecting a rise from them until ED showed up. GH was painfully boring last week but I knew it would go up. It won't drop until this thing is over and how much will depend on how good it is with the fallout.

Hopefully, Days goes up for this week with Bope and Lumi's proposal. It seems to go up in the weeks where not much happens for some reason, unlike last week where things actually happened and people tuned out. We'll see. I'm not letting it get me down because what is coming up should bring in numbers.

I don't think Bope being on for two days without any REAL story (but being supporting to Chelsea's story) is going to help ratings. But I hope that maybe Chick have gotten fans out there and with their story reaching climax this week, that it might get the up. Also, the Lumi proposal...

The DAYS ratings do not suck. The other shows pulled up while DAYS fell one tenth of a point. If OLTL and AMC hadn't pulled up, DAYS would still be in the spot they were in. I look at this as a challenge for DAYS to step it up. They've held consistently at a 2.5-2.6 for a few months now.

The college viewers are TOTALLY giving a big bump in ratings for the soaps. Now if only they'd let the Nielson be optional (as in anyone could join) our soap ratings would go up even more.

Oh I know that Scotty. The problem has been fixed now. Lskreet had a typo in there. That is where the questioning was coming from - not that the totals were wrong this time.

Both were shown as tied but Days was listed as 2.5 and ATWT at 2.6 - we were trying to figure out which was right. I was assuming that it was a 2.5 for both because even with rounding up I didn't see how either one could have a 2.6 with a 2.4 thrown in 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.
