Way to go GL! Too bad for Days, the show is steadily losing its core audience, not good news. It's gonna take a lot of changes to have the show rise into the top 5 again.

The writing on Days is good, but I'm tired of excuses why it's not doing better. You'd think it would be where AMC, OLTL, and ATWT are, yet its lower ranked than all those shows.

Glad to see Y&R rise, last week was a one of the best weeks the show has had in a while.

From the sound of the spoilers it doesn't seem like there will be any changes. We can blame Kevin Reilly but the show itself has not improved at all and that HAS to be part of the problem.

DAYS has made quick changes before, it should have realized that these changes are needed NOW not in May, or rather, most likely June.

Hmm. This material was taped in mid-March and the scripts were likely written around early Feb, before the ratings took a serious hit. If there have been re-writes, one would expect them to take effect in May. Like you say, though, the spoilers don't sound like dramatic changes are in store. :(

ITA, Dawn. I don't think the stories are so bad as to have the ratings drop this much in a matter of months. While viewers may not be privy to what he said, the affiliates sure know about it. Days has already been flip-flopped with Passions by some affiliates. After Another World's cancellation was announced, there was a heavy bleeding of the ratings for the show. KR just started the bleeding early for Days...or maybe he thinks he can kill it to free up that last daytime drama hour on NBC this summer.

Well this doesn't surprise me at all... because, no matter what some people say (how things have been better lately), to me things are NOT better on DAYS.. it's the same... and like I said weeks ago, nothing will help DAYS at this point... no change in May or whenever can bring back DAYS so many fans back... this is truly sad... DAYS used to be a TV icon, but now it's ruined and the end is soooo near... I'm not gonna blame Corday or Sheffer or NBC, because I don't really care who's to blame anymore... it doesn't matter to me now... my show was killed and I don't think anything can bring it back... :(

Well, Days will hit a new low in HH's and a new low in viewers. Wow, really shocked at how far they have fallen. And everyone thought with Hogan as HW the show would zoom up the ratings.

Yep, OLTL is not doing anything right at this moment. There is no mix of stories or characters and every couple and character is just written horribly. And I'm a fan of the couple who has been on (and poorly written I might add) every day for two weeks now. It's a bad idea for any character or couple to be on this much. And really, if this is what Higley is doing with couples now is her idea of romance, I for one can do without it.

    • 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.
