Wow, GL went from 1.8 on Monday to 2.3 on Tuesday? Wow! :o Good for them! Too bad they couldn't keep that..

Like I thought.. DAYS lost too much of its audience and not even a Sami wedding could bring them back... DAYS will have to sattisfy with being little above 2.0 (if that)... I don't think they will be able to get back to #3...

Wow, YR was the only soap to drop... scary... when does Bob Baker leave TPIR? I wonder if that will affect YR..

Too bad GH had the worst rating on Friday when we had great cliffhangers of Sam and Carly learning two big truths! :)

Thanks LSkreet!

Pretty lackluster May sweeps... I'm glad Days got a bump, but given all the Lumi Wedding hype, it's a shame it was not higher. Maybe fans are looking for something else. Hopefully, this week the bump will be maintained but I wonder if the neverending Island saga will do that. I do love Chick so that might help.

well at least DAYS did not have any ratings below 2.0 so I guess that is a good start

Like someone else said Y&R has really been good and surprised they are not getting a 4.3 but at the same time DRu did bring in the black viewrs. ANd the plot gimmicks are on the rise. Now the plane crash I mean come LML. These short term plot gimmicks will in the end ruin the show. Hell Look at Days. LML better research who is watching her show. Y&R has or did have a large black foloowing and CK's Lily is just not getting it.

I think AMC's ratings would really rise if TPTB would announce Kay Alden as the new headwriter. The longer we go without one, the more worried I'm getting that Frons is looking for the next Dena Higley (please don't let it be that bitch who nearly destroyed GL, Ellen Weston).

Y&R was flying high in February sweeps and now it is in the doldrums for May sweeps. This May sweeps doesn't have the suspense and intrigue that was present when the reliquary and Carmen's murder were wrapped up in February so perhaps that is the main reason.

I'm surprised that Days didn't do better. I enjoyed Lucas and Sami's wedding week.

I don't know, I think having actual good stories would affect the ratings more.

I'd rather they wait and let Alden study the show as much as she can. I have a feeling that she might take over as HW. There was a prohibition event last night, and AMC actors were there, and it was kind of hinted that there might be a new HW before long. It was said the transition has gone pretty well. That they're trying to clean up as much of McTavish's messes as they can.

DAYS fans are tired. That is basically the reason the ratings didn't jump. They are tired of being promised one thing and being given another. Maybe they didn't want to see Sami's wedding go all wrong AGAIN—even though it worked out well, history has told us that Lucas dumps Sami.

A rise? It will happen after at least two months of consistent, good storytelling. It won't just happen. The great week last week was enough to at least not make the show lose more viewers, which is the best that can be hoped for at this stage in the game.

Keep it up, DAYS. Act like you want to stay on the air, godammit.

Glad to see AMC rise - and hold steady throughout the week, with a 2.6 ending out the week! Looks like the Ryannie wedding and Greenlee's return was successful. Have to see if next week things hold steady and people are still tuning in.

AMC has gotten so much better and I hope the ratings continue to reflect that fact.

I think Days will be lucky do get a 2.2 with the return of the DiMera's. If the show is able to be very good over a long time, they will probably win back some more viewers, but I don't think they will be back in the 2.5/2.6 range.

I really hope the best for Days, because I really love the show again.

BAHHHHHH! I'm pissed! THAT'S IT!?!?!? This was DAYS' best week since December. Ughhh. WHATEVER.

In order to rise, yes, DAYS does need consistently good, solid storytelling. The only problem is...DAYS cannot do that!

Especially with Jet, Jeremy heading to Salem soon. Stephanie already here. Chelsick being on 24/7. I'm sure a new Abby is on the way. Ughhh. I do not think the Brady/Dimera Feud will be enough to compound this newbie crap!

Thanks for the info Lksreet

I like that the GL numbers are holding steady. Those are some seriously bad numbers for DOOL I watched the show a little bit and thought it was good.

2.9 for the birth of the golden one :D Guza must be happy.

Looks like the return of the blob known as Carly at ATWT did nothing for the ratings, sucks to be her

    • 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.
