I'm not that worried about Days ratings, honestly nothing really happened last week...Or this week for that matter...It seems like these past two weeks have been set up for november sweeps and the future of the show...I'm just ready for Carrie Brady to come back and give the show a huge boost..

Well, I watched every day of Days of Our Lives two weeks ago to see Jack and Jennifer when Jennifer learned that Jack was dying. Great scenes - if a bit depressing.

Since then I have not watched a single day! I have no wish to see Jack alternate between planning his suicide and putting Jennifer/Frankie together. Give me a decent J&J storyline that doesn't revolve around death and I'll be back! Sad to say I find this storyline so depressing that I can't bear to watch Days anymore even if there are storylines that are a bit interesting (John/Marlena, Lumi) right now.

Kind of funny - used to be J&J were the only reason I would watch Days. Now, I find their storyline so distasteful that it is the main reason I won't even turn on Days again for a minute.

Wow, even I'm shocked at the AMC thing. That's pretty sad considering the great efforts by the cast, directors and associate writers. But I blame McTavish because there was no build-up. Maybe if we'd seen Di and Palmer really bonding, Tad and Di really falling in love there would have been more emotional pull? Other than JR, I didn't feel anything.

They were some good shows though so I'm shocked there wasn't even some minimal increase.

Am I happy the ratings didn't go up? NO! The actors worked their butts off. But if it moves us any closer to getting rid of McTavish, so be it. She has to be removed the top writing spot. She can even stay in some other capacity. But she should not be in charge of long term story arcs. There was something significant missing from the Di story and that's why despite the great acting all around, alot of people just didn't care.

Exactly. Sad, but true. I think JER could be fired too, honestly.

They are, FS! They are! LOL.

Eh. I don't know about that either....I don't think let-loose JER will help DAYS right now.

Ditto all of that. As much as I have been loving DAYS and thinking it's been excellent, nothing is really happening, I guess. There's entertaining scenes from day to day, though. I wasn't expecting any gains last week by any means, but I wasn't expecting this much of a drop. :( The show has been excellent, but nothing to bring in viewers or increase viewers. Shimi were so hot last week. :(

Maybe Jolena fans tuned out because of the divorce talk?

That's what will probably happen soon!

Although the performances have been good, the storylines have been weak. I dont care about Shimi or Lucas/Sophie and Jack's dying storyline is absurd. And how many times do I have to see Alex trying to get into Marlena's room? Austin/Sami I do like.

I agree Toups. The current storylines are not Reilly's but Corday's.

Days fans tend not to watch when the show is traditional. I remember back in 92 or 93 not sure what year and Days ranked 8th amoung soaps and the storylines were tradional at the time. When Days is more sci-fi is when the ratings go up!

Well. if Austin didnt give Days the boost they were hoping for, I dont think Carrie will either. I think they will go up(ratings) but then level off. If the ratings go up at all.

I am happy about that too. :)

God, I hope so. Sci-fi or not he sucks ass. I could see that everyday on Passions even before he showed up back at Days.

Hell no. Again, Passions is a great example of JER with no restrictions. No [!@#$%^&*] thank you. I think Days looks too much like Passions already.

Day to day stuff is better, but the storylines are still crap. They've been crap since the jack ass started (and before).

    • But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.
    • This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).
    • Fine, you only had to say so. It's not a problem to me NOT to post this. I have no idea what this means. 
    • Oh, really? I think we're really getting close.  What does "apparently" mean to you? To me, it means that this is something I think has happened but not something I absolutely positively know to have happened. When I use a word like "apparently" as I have here, I am doing so by intent. Can you think of a better way to communicate that?
    • Wow...I was not expecting a montage.   I know SilkPress did not!!! Poor Eva.  Lol. Funnily enough I missed that.     
    • For the record, VW thought having the twins at their ages was absurd & who wanted that story, was some group of fans, who wanted her & Carl to have a chance at having children together. Not any fans that I knew of, but supposedly they existed. 
    • Brandon Tartikoff saved NBC primetime. Brandon Stoddard got ABC Tuesday to rebound and put an end to the Aaron Spelling hit factory.
    • Awwwww Brad. I know I shouldn't, but I feel bad for him

      And yeah, agreed that Dante having animosity towards Gio is very forced and contrived. And it also has me concerned that it means the reveal won't be happening anytime soon.
    • God, I love that woman. Another amazing interview!!
    • We can only guestimate based on other characters. Chelsea was said to be 23 in the first episodee and based on Marttin wanting to run for President in the next election, he's about 30/31. Eva and and Kat are somewhere between that  so Id say closer to 25 or 26
