It was actually before that. I think he used it with Vivian in Paris. She kept mentioning a Rudolphu and then she found Stefano in bed in her room. I think that was 1996 around the time of Marlena being held in the cage. The specifics are a little foggy but I remember that name making it's first appearance when Stefano got caught up with Vivian and Ivan in Paris. Think that was an alias for him or something.

What?? Of course the "raters" aren't deliberately giving GUIDING LIGHT higher numbers than it deserves (If anything GL should be far higher up than it is.). GL has very steady numbers and has for years. If the cartoon fantasy and wooden acting of DAYS OF OUR LIVES is wearing thin for people and the numbers are showing that, then that's DAYS' fault, not GL's or the "raters."

Now that Days is rid of Farah Fath, Jason Cook and Kirsten Storms, I would say that it has one of the best casts -- if not THE best cast -- in daytime. It certainly has a canvas full of bigger names than any other soap, IMO.

Stephen Nichols and Mary Beth Evans are great. MBE has really stepped up her game over the last few months.

Martha Madison and Brandon Beemer are both fantastic.

Blake Berris and Rachel Melvin are the best young actors that the show has had since Patrick Muldoon and Christie Clark.

Julie Pinson is fabulous, as are Ali Sweeney and Bryan Dattillo. Lauren Koslow is a goddess and can do ANYTHING.

Deidre's still there. She sucks compared to what she once was, but she's far from awful, IMO.

Peter and Kristian... perfection.

Plus we have a few actors returning, all of whom are terrific, as well. Days cast, at the moment, is stellar, IMO!

I really get concerned when I see how far DAYS have sunken in ALL of the demographics. I mean, all soaps are slowly declining in the Household ratings, but no other show have sunken so far as DAYS have in all of the the demographics. Just compare their demographics with last years numbers. If DAYS would have kept its viewers from last year, they would now have been dominating and been #1 in all the demographics, both women 18-49, 18-34 and 12-17.

DAYS

Monday: 2.0/2,503,000

Tuesday: 2.0/2,500,000

Wednesday: 2.1/2,800,000

Thursday: 2.1/2,572,000

Friday: 2.0/2,543,000

I find this baffling. The actual wedding episode drew a +300,000 spike in total viewers (understandable) but almost none of these viewers tuned in the following day. And Wednesday's ep. ended on a great cliff-hanger! The only explanation I can offer is that unspoiled viewers saw the dreaded Sami/EJ picture and thought "Oh no, here we go again". But Thursday's ep. was just as good (if not better) than Wednesday's.

I know this is great news, I almost fell off my chair when I saw we placed in 6th for that and up over 100,000 in that category, also looks like the Men numbers are starting to go back up again, hopefully in a few weeks we will see those numbers even climb higher.

    • 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.
