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.

    • Thanks @Paul Raven  Amidst these terrible stories I see we get the arrival of Heather. I never knew Alice forged references for her. No wonder she later became a murderer. She was a criminal all along.  The Jeff/Monica/Rick story always seems so brazen and so depressing all at once - I can't imagine how people would have talked about it in the Internet/Twitter era.  I don't understand the choice to put Audrey and Steve through even more misery after they had been separated for almost a decade. The sudden inclusion of magazine stories is fascinating...and I'm not sure if it is ever a huge story narrative for GH after this point, even when characters on the show ran magazines. The end of the Leslie and Cam story did not need to be like this (and feels a little rushed). Had every woman on the canvas at this time been raped?   
    • I am bewildered and fascinated by the choice to have John Loprieno and Adam Storke play out all their dramatic sequences here in clown makeup. They really took that circus motif seriously.

    • Happy belated birthday to Joan. Here's an interview with Jackie Collins at about 39 minutes.

    • Does anyone have a favorite adult Russ Matthews?  Which actor did you like most?  Sam Groom, Robert Hover, or David Bailey??  And why?   And if Russ had returned late in AW's run, what actor would you have wanted to portray him?  One of the former actors, or someone new??  
    • I think the move to NBC dealt a huge blow to SFT that caused the show to slowly bleed out throughout their almost five year run on that network. SFT was a CBS show and it really showed when it first started airing on NBC so I understood P &G having to make adjustments to the soap in order to make it fit onto the NBC schedule vs the CBS schedule. The 1983 Tomlin/Lee era was probably the strongest while it was on NBC.  They managed to still focus on Stu/Stephanie/Jo while developing a strong youth focus with Wendy/Warren/Suzi/Kristen/ Brian with the comic element with Rhonda Sue and her partner.  This helped the show from staying the Liza/Travis show.. which it was in 1981/1982.
    • Hey, I'm wondering if anyone has cross-referenced Spauldingfield's undated episodes with the German playlists? An angel has been uploading to the Soap Vault and it would be great to be able to date all those episodes. I have access to rename them, if anyone has a list.

    • It’s sad that all these fabulous soap writers who truly understand the craft are dead/going to die soon. I wonder if there will ever be a resurgence of writers who can carry on their legacy one day.
