An event like a Sami Brady wedding always brings in the viewers. I think this year, viewers will be pleased to know it's not going to be the same damn thing again. That should get them to stay. :)

Exactly Roger.

Drew, I agree. Although last August's Sami wedding didn't do nothing for the ratings but it was also between her and Austin and I think people knew she wouldn't do it. This wedding is different and has been promoted heavily so my hope is Days can stay the same or at least hold on to 2.0 and then maybe get a nice jump to around 2.3-2.4 for the wedding. I don't think 2.5 is impossible by end of May but I have a feeling they may not hit that until June. June will be when we see Days get some solid numbers with schools and colleges done and out.

I was thinking the same thing. The Days ratings seems to take over this whole thread. They were almost no mention of GH great gain this week. I couldn't care less about the Days ratings which is down the toilet right now. I know I will get angry Days fans on me but you guys should be realistic and see that it sucks to have a 2.1. This is no case for excitement IMO

That's insulting to the GL fans out there. It may not be you're cup of tea but believe it or not they are fans of every show in here.

As for Days, i'm not dissing the fans but i'm just saying that they are 9 shows on the air right now and this thread should at least mention every show cause the ratings are extremelly important right now

Simple. Days is a show in trouble. It's no secret NBC wants them gone. Days's ratings have fallen hard and that is the big ratings story right now. All the other shows are still maintaining or staying competitive. Why would anyone want to mention GH's gain when they have been in 3rd all year? They aren't in immediate trouble and there is really no story there. GH was talkd about during February sweeps because they were the story back then and no one told people to stop talking about them. Many said congrats to other soaps on rising this week but Days' rise was bigger because it had been under a 2.0 last week and people want to see it do well for their sake and the genre's sake. If you want other soaps mentioned, then perhaps more people should come in here and post about them. Usually, there aren't many who come post in here and, those that do, tend to be the same people. However, what is there to talk about with the other shows? They rose or stayed the same. No one clocked a +5 rise or anything so there really isn't a story there. Sorry if you feel otherwise but it's the way it is.

    • 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.
