Beats me I am sure the pre-emptions factored in but I think the reason why it still continues to struggle is well probably alot of viewers left cause of McTavish and probably won't consider returning until new writing is there. Its sad because it isn't all that bad right now. Sure new writer would be great and I think that's the one thing that will cause viewers to start looking at it again....

Ugh [!@#$%^&*] CIA leak interrution. IMO DAYS and PSNS Friday episodes BOTH should have not been counted, like OLTL's episode.

If that were the case DAYS would have been at a 2.6 with a +.2 for the week. Instead Nielsen counts the 1.9, which would have been a CRAP load of people tuning out because of the damn interruptions.

I still can't believe that even with a 1.9 for Friday, DAYS still managed a +.1 increase for the week.

TIME FOR MCTAVISH TO GO. I don't think ABC can ignore the incredible slide in the ratings. I have heard rumor that Brown/Estensen are about to pop up as headwriters on a NY based soap. The rumor is that it's Guiding Light, but I'm wondering if Fronzie and Carruthers have installed them to replace McTavish in the new year!!

Remember: Brown/Estensen were trained by Nixon; she loved them on Loving and The City. ABC loves them too. THey gave them Port UpChuck too.

    • no argument here! and as she was singing, i kept wondering how many verses ‘amazing grace’ had. looked it up: 13 — 13! — and i think she must have sung  every one. 
    • Yasss, ANITA!!! GET HER!!!   Awww at Smitty calming Martin down.   'Oh, you're the one leaving.' That face like stone. Go 'head, Nicole.    Eva vs Kat...the gift that keeps giving.    
    • I have to admit I still have a nagging complaint about timelines - Why aren't we allowed to know how long Ted and Nicole have been married or how old Kat and Eva are? Or for that matter, when Anita last released an album? BTG is a new show with no SORAS or timewarping. MVJ and Guza are working from a fresh bible. There is no need to be so coy about ages and anniversaries, especially when most of the storylines are driven by past events.
    • It was an extremely rare interview even then - I was shocked when I read it (as mentioned I'd forgotten just how far in she went). You could see how hurt and annoyed she was. I'm surprised he thought she came up with the baby story herself. She and Charles Keating did a good job with the material but it was absolute hokum. Even if they loved Carl and Rachel (and clearly they did), I don't see them coming up with stuff that, frankly, read like Geocities fan fic. Malone was clearly hobbled by NBC and P&G, but re-using so many of his old stories and his soap bible instead of actually coming up with material suited to the characters or show did not help.
    • Seeing this trash get good ratings says nothing good about daytime audiences. It's embarrassing.
    • Cat does feel committed to being a goofball (the other term has been reconsidered in recent years).  I wonder, given her brother Aaron, if Cat was less attractive prior to the surgery?  Remember the 1973 movie The Girl Most Likely to?  My fanfic for the moment is Cat commenting on how people treat her differently now that she is gorgeous.  One assumes that pre-surgery, Cat never had two men fighting over her for a date.  So, it might be fun to see that side of the story.
    • It's probably one of the only conflicts the story will have, aside from Dante being upset with Lulu when the truth comes out. They really needed someone else who actually knows Gio is Dante and Brook Lyn's son and kept quiet.
    • So Cat wasn't a creation of Ron C.. but something that the strike writers generated? Perhaps the new writers will give her some layers and purpose on the show that doesn't revolve around Chad since isn't he on his way out next year?
    • Another good show today, but -- Why is super agent Joss holding that thumb drive in plain sight instead of stashing it in her denim shorts? Make it make sense. -- Dante going after Gio (in the previews) for Rocco's alcohol poisoning is lame and cliche, just a contrived way to drive a wedge between father and son.
    • Didn't he get all angry because the strike writers set her up to be Abigail? And he just went with the first thing that came to mind in order to prevent that?
