Members alwaysAMC Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 WOW - bad week Hell yeah to GH for overtaking B&B. I was waiting for this day AMC is good right now IMO - at least entertaining, and I'm not shocked its still all alone at #4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 I am sure the holiday helped some because all of the soaps (well most) had their best day on Monday, but Y&R had the best. I think the holiday and the fact that Carmen's killer was revealed that day. I am really surprised that GL did not go up that day. They had the big Friday cliffhanger with Alan being shot but no one seemed to care. And it was so well done too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Manny Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 I am so happy for GH!!! They so deserve this! I am not surprised at all by all these drops in the ratings.. last few weeks were actually okay for most soaps, so I excpected a drop.. But is that 4,8 for YR correct? Because if it is, they lost like 900 000 viewers from monday to friday... Hopefully, next week is better for soaps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lskreet Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 Yes it's correct. Whenever a soap has a unusually high number for a day I make sure to triple check before I post. I'm really surprised that DOOL isn't doing better. What happened? When Hogan took over I really thought they would be a ratings contender but it seems as of late the numbers are dropping. I don't watch the show but maybe someone can explain. Are the storyline dragging? Are they featuring characters no one likes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 Presidents Day helped all of the soaps at least salvage most of their numbers. That helped Y&R big time because I don't see that day getting that number if not for the holiday. Good for GH but B&B did help them out by dropping -3. I can't get all jumpy over that when it took a major B&B drop for GH to get it. GH dropped too and I think it may also drop this week. The Q stuff may get good ratings but the rest of the show has been slowly sinking back to the crap I don't want to see. AMC has fallen back to earth and next week will be even worse. The balance on all soaps sucks right now. I count GH too because they only balanced things for one month. If Alan wasn't dying, they wouldn't have even did that. They still did a horrible disservice by nothing Robert and Anna even make minmal appearances during the month. The only ABC soap that I can root for is OLTL. I have watched it alot these past few weeks and it is better and their balance is improving steadily. That 2.1 on Days is alarming. That was a very good episode. If anything, I thought Thursday would get a low number. As I said before, Days can't have 3-4 days where things happen and another 1-2 days where they don't. That is why I am hoping the rest of this week is good because yesterday's show was slow as hell. At least Days is tied for 6th, not that that's consolation. A bad week for all soaps but it was expected and, sadly, next week will be even worse. We will probably see all soaps back to their normal numbers in the next two weeks.

Members DaysFanJean Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 Is the last week of sweeps always bad? Days was shocking. I didn't think it was as bad as the ratings even though I think overall it's really bad. Wretched that B&B is sinking and they have Eileen Davidson and Days could sure get a boost if she were back.

Members GBB Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 Un.be.lievable. Days got a 2.1 on Wednesday??? What the hell is happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Andre Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 I'm so confused. Days has 13 writers that, as far as I can tell, it's their job to write good stories. They do this full time. There is no reason any show should be lagging or boring for weeks at a time with so many resources pumped into making a good product. What do they do all day?

Members Ryan Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 Last week was a bad week for all soaps. Congrats for GH making it to #2. Let's hope they can keep it up. As far as DAYS goes, I attribute their drop to the fact that they aren't showcasing the characters fans want to see. Even though I like the people I'm seeing now, I miss my Hope/Bo, John/Marlena and others. I understand the need to tell other stories...but get with the program damn it! They'll bounce back. They always do. The show isn't bad, not by a longshot. They just need to fire off on all cylinders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Andre Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 Note to Hogan: The honeymoon's over, big-mouth. I love the show to death, but it's time to kick it and live up to the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 NOOOOOOO! B&B at #3?! NOOOOOOOO! Too much Rick/Phoebe for my taste! Come on Eileen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 Wow none of that sounds good at all. And Days still at #3 in the 18-34 and #6 in 18-49 for another week is not good either. As Errol said last week this is just giving more credence for NBC if they decide to get rid of Days early and these demos are not going to make Days look appealing to another network even if Days does get a lot of coverage in magazines. Hogan & Corday have got to get on the ball and quick. They can't wait anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 Well I don't know if Eileen will matter that much to B&B's ratings but these ratings still don't reflect here. Most fans don't even know she is coming. Right now I don't even remember her being mentioned on the show at all. So we will just have to see in a few weeks if her coming impacts B&B's ratings or not. Right now B&B jsut needs to get their stories together. The show is still good but another almost incestuous relationship is not what they needed. I still think that B&B's fall was more due to Y&R's fall as it's leadin. B&B is greatly helped by Y&R and I think GH would have beaten it last week if Y&R had not risen so much. B&B was good the previous week but GH was better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skiman12082004 Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 WOW! I can't believe GH actually beat B&B. I won't be a sore loser so congrats GH. Anyway, I'm sure B&B will go back up once Eileen Davidson shows up. The show isn't bad, but they have totally rushed Phoebe and Rick. NBC is getting exactly what it deserves. Sorry DAYS.
