Trust me I am not happy about DAYS ratings Steve, but I am relieved the bleeding stopped for at least one week. DAYS ratings are still disappointing though because PSNS got a nice spike Friday while DAYS didnt. DAYS should have had more than a 2.4 for Friday because of CBS not airing their soaps.

I know what you mean - happy was probably a strong word to use. Some just seemed happier than others.

And yes you are right Days should have gotten a larger boost than they did considering the boost that Passions got. They usually go hand in hand.

Trust me I am not happy about them either. I am not happy about the ratings for any of them really but without low ratings we will just keep getting the same [!@#$%^&*] we are already getting. And [!@#$%^&*] is the best way to describe what we are getting on soaps right now and have been on some of them for awhile.

If the ratings stay up they aren't going to listen. Why do you think it took forever for ABC to listen. I thought AMC and OLTL stunk over a year ago - back in Feb. and March is when I quit but the ratings stayed good until the fall. Finally more fans noticed and started dropping the ratings some. Only when the pocket books are hit do they listen.

Y&R 4.0 (-.2)

I am finding the show boring as of late. But Y&R has been really doing good in the ratings until this week.

2.(2) B&B 2.9 (-.1)

The show is a mess. Eileen's arrival has been a bust. Her pairing with Rick is bad wriiting.

6.(6) ATWT 2.3 (SAME)

What to say. Hahahaha :lol: Jean Passanante and Christoper Goutman deserve this rating for all the awful storylines on the air. There is not one good storyline going on ATWT. Paul's visions are stupid, ridiculous and pointless. Emily being a whore storyline is laughable and dumb. Gwen/Adam/Maddie/Will/Casey story is very boring and going nowwhere. Too much Gwen and Maddie. Overkill anyone?? Lily's storyline would have been good had the story been a bit different. Baby food poisoning please!!!!

Changes need to made now. If there is no news soon than ATWT is just one step closer to cancellation.

8.(7) GL 2.0 (-.1)

The show seems better but I havent been watching it regulary.

Other sites are reporting the same ratings.

Remember as we have said so many times in the past. The numbers are rounded up. NONE OF US KNOW HOW MANY NUMBERS THEY USE - IT COULD BE AS MANY AS 3 NUMBERS OR EVEN 4 NUMBERS. They use the full numbers which no one has access to but Nielsen.

All Lskreet can do is report the numbers she is given.

Actually, I know for a fact that Nielsen only takes the ratings to two decimal places, the hundredths place. But regardless, if you know anything about math, they could be rounded from 10 decimal places, and the ratings I posted are still the lowest possible ratings that would be rounded each day....and they don't add up.

I suspect the Friday ratings are incorrect. Regardless, SOMETHING is wrong with the ratings this week. I know LSkreet just posts what she sees, so I'm not saying it's her...but those ratings cannot be correct based on the daily ratings. (And like I said, I suspect that it's just the Friday daily ratings that are incorrect).

First of all, I'm not hellbent on seeing OLTL get ahead of AMC. The numbers don't add up and I simply asked a question. And it was the FIRST time that I had asked the question.

And thanks for using such splendid language to answer a question that wasn't addressed to YOU to begin with. Lets me know exactly what kind of person you are.

Wow. That must be a great problem to have. That's the least of my problems when it comes to this show.

GL absolutely deserves this new record low and all the record low tieing it's been doing in recent months/years. They surely can't blame this low on basketball either. It may go back to it's ever-loving 2.1 to 2.2 rating but I'll be happy when Passions goes off the air cause then it'll be the lowest-rated show and probably the most deserving. It makes me sick.

Hey Landon. It's been a long time since I've seen you post anything about GL. What do you think about the show lately? I know you're not a fan of Wheeler. Some people think it's been a little bit better lately. What's your take?

Wow you got kind of touchy there LOL...

AMC fans are always quick to down on OLTL (sometimes for no reason), why? I think people were just questioning, just like Graybunny did with GL and the mag ratings...

Yeah for a rise!! Can't believe OLTL had a 2.8 on the day of the snow storm. That snow storm was pretty big and I was hoping all the shows would have recieved better rewards. But at least no drop for DAYS, which we all knew wasn't going to happen. A 2.0 is like bad and I don't think DAYS will ever get there.

Nice to see you again, Shakur. I've never been big on Wheeler but had high hopes for Kreizman, for which he quickly dashed. I'm not into GL at all. It's the same 'ol same 'ol - one dimensional villians, asinine plotting, crappy acting (by the newcomers), etc. - I don't let it work me up like I used to, it's not even worth it.

I still love the show and want it to get better but I'm not holding my breath anymore.

Y&R is the returning to the show I used to love and it's basically can't miss rightnow for me.

    • 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.
