Soaps need to build a story, and where this one was building, it's hard to jump more than .1 or .2, and that 2.0 was an increase. Viewers aren't just switching channels to another soap. Frustration is building to where even the spikes are less. Word has to get out -- and if a viewer isn't picking up a soap magazine or anywhere near a promo, they aren't going to know if Sami and Lucas tie the knot. And if Sami has changed similar to Todd on OLTL has, they might just not care anymore.

But you can't expect ONE good week to bring back all the fans that tuned out months ago. It takes a short time to piss fans off and make them not want to watch, but you'll NEVER get back all the fans you loose, which is what is happening to DAYS. And this week, IMO is following suit with the way the show was before last week. I mean, seriously, why have Shawn and Belle been on that stupid island all this time? I'm sorry, but the stories just aren't attention grabbing for me and I know a lot of others feel the same way, hence the dramatic drop in the ratings.

Why is GL above DAYS when their 5-day average is 2.00 and DAYS is 2.04?? Are the raters deliberately boosting GL? Or keeping DAYS down with these miscalculations? It feels as though all of daytime is slipping away.

LoL, I mentioned seeing Rudolpho Meradi lurking at the bottom of the forums the other day in "The Cocktail Lounge."

Didn't he adopt that name for himself around the time that he and Hope were on the Empress Express?

    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of 
    • FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM FEBRUARY 1973 & MAY 1973:

        FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM AUGUST 1973 & NOVEMBER 1973:
    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975. 
    • No. Ed and Holly were married and having problems. She had an affair with Roger and that's when Christina--Blake--was conceived. The rape happened much later, after Holly and Roger were married.
    • Was Blake the product of Roger raping Holly, or did that come after when they were a couple?
    • I really wish we could see that episode...absolutely, my memory could be faulty, it was a very long time ago. I'm not going to contradict what the actors said--there has to be a reason it made them so uncomfortable that they talked about it in the press and complained to TPTB. I think that was the first one where they made the point that they wanted to educate the audience about the subject.
    • I just did with GL and its made me very happy!

          Oh yes, trying to get into any soap from scratch starting post-2010 would be hard. I prefer to go back to the good ol' days, before the decline. 
    • Can we talk about how iconic the 1994 tornado was on AMC? I was scanning through old episodes last night and came across this episode. The tornado was epic and the storylines/aftermath were so good (Julia's scar/Noah!; Jenny/Ray/Nola/Jesse in heaven with Tad, etc).  For 1994, these special effects and budget for this big event were amazing. 10 out of 10!  The only thing missing is Erica!  I can't recall where Erica was at the time, but I really wish she had been involved in this storyline.

    • On the way to her own engagement party? I've read that the show had trouble getting the audience to sympathize with Rita, but...that seems bizarre. Maybe I can understand the issue with the censors, given that at the time, rape wasn't depicted the way it is now, and marital rape was even less acknowledged.  Wasn't Chris Brooks' rape one of the first honest stories on the subject? I just don't think I could get into a show I didn't have a working knowledge of. I know it's a different era, but I really tried to get into GH once Maura West joined, but it just never jelled.
