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?

    • Shut up, Dante and Lois.  I actually don't mind this particular soap trope, but in the context of this storyline, it just feels forced and unnecessary. If anything, this Dante/Gio tension needed to begin months ago. Plus, this storyline, in general, isn't doing Lois any favors either.  Emma comforting Gio was really sweet though. It's definitely time for the two of them to have their first kiss. And, Joss playing Secret Agent Barbie will just never work.
    • Note to makeup - Smitty’s eyebrows, bad clamshell look.

    • Okay I can buy that when Brook Lynn was a teen.  Now she knows the child is a boy one would think she'd be slightly suspicious.  Then again, Gio looks nothing like either of them so maybe not lol.
    • I've been behind & just got caught up & the last 3 days were amazing!
    • Yeah.  The hot, poor bad boy with a chip on his shoulder but with a heart of gold was a common soap trope in the 80s

    • That's been an issue with me... the lack of a cohesive 'Have Not' crowd that has focus other than Leslie/Eva.   I would beef up Jan, Mona, Laura, Joey, and few other male characters.. and not just be out to overthrow the Duprees.. but co-existing and broadening the scope of the show since the show is called Beyond the Gates. I think the set up the show has with everything revolving around the Duprees will become predictable especially if they always win.   It would be like Victor Newman on Y & R for 40+ years.. always winning, hardly ever losing.   With MVJ/Guza.. both trained under that mindset... I fear that will happen.   I've always heard from a performer that is playing a character like Leslie/Dana that you have to find the victim/hurt beneath the surface in order to play a villain/villainess... and I think that's why I enjoy watching her.. because she brings so much more to the part than what the writers put on the page.
    • I figure that was really hard for Dom to do. I completely GET why they wrote it the way they did but I wonder if it was necessary. Meanwhile I have 2 really icky ideas in my head. Drew is going to blame Tracy KNOWING it was not her. Dante is going to blame Lulu.  After that, everyone else is going to be mad at Lois.  Tracy is going to double down on wanting to get rid of Sonny. Sonny's going to be more dug in to stay because he now has a new descendant. 
    • I can actually buy Brook Lynn being so self-absorbed and incurious that she never thought to question why her mom and grandma were so attached to Gio. 
    • It was overkill and the whole narrative Lois was too nice to the orphan kid when he was little, WHAT? Like Emma said no one thinks Gio is a troublemaker that gets 14-year-old kids drunk for fun. That being said, Lulu figured this Gio thing out in episode, but Brook Lynn never once questioned Lois and Gloria's attachment to a child that was the same age as the baby she gave up?  Ever?
