Its nice to see that AMC has stayed steady and consistent over the month - its been really good lately IMO. I just noticed that it beat GH on Monday and Tuesday - I wonder if the combination of AMC fans coming back to see Greenlee's return and then enough fans being pissed about Craig being Jerry on GH - that maybe AMC will tie or beat GH next week?

I can't believe how quickly DAYS has fallen to the 1.6 and 1.7 dailies. That's just crazy.

I am not happy at all about ATWT ratings, last week Wednesday-Friday were some of the best eppy's on ATWT in ages and yet the ratings were horrible, I really think these good shows need to be aired starting on Monday instead of the Middle of the week, tune in on Monday and all you see is Gwen/Cleo, so they are tuning out for the rest of the week. I have a bad feeling about this weeks ratings coming up for ATWT as this whole week has been all about Gwen/Cleo, I think we are headed for a 2.2 or 2.1 and I am not happy.

I read something interesting on another board that JP does not even have any say on anything that happens on ATWT, that it is all CG, which is why the show is like it is today, CG has his favorites which is why JP is always writing for them. So it is CG that needs to be canned.

WOW. These ratings make you wonder if the DAYS bleeding will ever stop. The rest of the week is bad but that 1.7 on Friday is downright disturbing.

Passions is also bleeding quite heavily so I don't see that happening.

GL hovers between 2.0 and 2.2 for the past couple of years and it just takes DAYS a couple of WEEKS, after reaching low 2's, to reach 1.9!! Unbelievable!!

You deserve this, Ken Corday, you deserve this.

So a B&B rerun gets about the same ratings as a first run episode?

Days has really done a free fall lately although last week has to be tossed out the window. Does the fact that Soapnet moved the show back to 7pm contribute to this at all? If more people are watching on Soapnet at 7 then maybe less are watching on NBC in the afternoon.

Tuesday and Wednesdays should not be counted for anyone because news was on and off all day, interruptions galore. In New York, we started the hour with a news update so we missed the first few minutes of ATWT at least on Wednesday. Some fans may have tuned out thinking the show was pre-empted again.

These ratings are awful.

Yes, preemptions need to be taken into affect but Days still got a 1.7 on Friday and that episode was the best of the week. It's interesting people mention Soapnet but Days was on Soapnet at 7 a year or so ago and it didn't really affect numbers. However, there was some beautiful weather on the east coast this week so maybe people just didn't stay inside but that would've hurt other soaps just the same. I don't know what happened but I am hopeful with the vets being featured for more then one day this week on Days and the fact that the show is moving now will help. They need to get back over 2.0 and go from there.

The other soaps ain't much better, despite the preemption. This time of year is the worst time for weddingd. We always see lows this time of year, which is sad. I have never seen such a huge drop like that for Days or any soap and I just hope that they can at least get back to around 2.5 to stay competitive since that is where most soaps are hovering now. I wasn't expecting Days to go up but I wasn't expecting those dailies, except for Tuesday, and I was expecting a better Friday number. The changes Days are making need to work. May and the summer is their last chance.

I am hoping next week is better for Days and all soaps. We need something positive. When only OLTL rises and that only gets them a 2.4, that is sad. :(

Well, if that's the case then Monday should not be counted either. The very end of OLTL was cut off last Monday for an extended ABC News Brief.

That's interesting about B&B.

As for DAYS, it will be interesting to watch over the next couple weeks to see if it drops below PSSNS.

Wow... so are DAYS and PASS drop to 0.0 ratings by fall? If I wasn't a fan of DAYS and soaps, I would be laughing right now... At least DAYS will have a record at something: the show that lost all of its viewers the fastest...

I am sooooo wondering what people at DAYS and NBC are talking on Friday after they have received ratings on Thursday...

How many people actually have Soapnet? I don't think that many so the NBC ratings shouldn't really reflect this massive exodus of Day's viewers that seems to be taking place.

I can't believe Days has sunk under 2.0..that's pretty sad. I'm no longer watching the show but I didn't think it was THAT bad.

    • 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.
