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.

    • I assume they did at some point during the finale...
    • Kelly was a horribly-written character overall. Just think, two Emmy-winning actresses (including Cynthia Watros, Nina, GH, and Annie, GL) couldn't make it work. Pamela is campy, but so are Dani, Vanessa, Leslie, and Joey. And, I don't want to be too judgy because my love for camp changes depending on the show. OLTL, DAYS, and some eras of GH had me rolling with the camp. However, Passions was overkill and I hated it. And, here, I can take it or leave it. It's ok in small doses (note to RC). I see this show as more of a serious drama.
    • I think one of the reasons that pilot didn't get picked up was because Vicki L was associated more with being Thelma Harper and playing older then she was playing her own age.  It was a blessing it didn't get picked up, or we would have been deprived of the syndicated era of Mama's Family.   Also, worth noting a Pre Night Court Marsha Warfield and pre Perfect Strangers Rebecca Arthur in the cast.  All talented women, but stuck with a bad script. And the other pilot had a pre Fran Fine.. Fran Drescher as the best friend.  I think that pilot might have been picked up if Karen Valentine and Fran Drescher switched roles.
    • So, on rewatch....did Rick and Mindy never have sex? 
    • Cady had a fairly posh accent or manner as Rosanna - the character was a 180 from Dixie when she went to ATWT, and it was a huge success initially. As someone mostly only familiar with the nagging, miserable or clueless Dixie of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s it was what convinced me Cady could act. I thought she was incredible in her first run. Later, in future stints, her hair and story and performances were all over the place but a lot of that was down to the show for me. She brought some of Rosanna back with her to Dixie in her ill-fated return and a lot of people didn't like it, which I understood but I did think the character needed some change. I think she's had a little bit of the same persona and arch performance in every role she's played since, including Jennifer Horton at DAYS or Kelly at Y&R, who later became a maniac and was easily the worst work I've ever seen Cady do. It has kind of infected her overall mannerisms, I'll allow that, but I do think she brought Dixie back together as herself while still evolving the character when she returned to AMC again in 2012-13. Nonetheless, for me the upshot is that this is a character where Cady's kookier recent performance style suits the role. But I can understand it grating for people.
    • Yeah, Loretta Swit's passing stings. My late dad LOVED the show (he died last November) and watched it religiously. In first run and repeats.  And I was literally born the day after the show's premiere, so I grew up with it! I know many loved later, softer Margaret, but I loved Early Hot Lips. In real life, I'm all for less misogyny, but to me, the early years of M*A*S*H were just funnier. May Loretta Swit rest in peace. Thanks for all the memories connected to my dad!

    • I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.

    • And here I thought I'd never think about Lauren Tewes again after her brief appearance in Twin Peaks Season 3.
    • I may be the single person who does not mind Transatlantic Campy Pamela. I think it perfectly suits this sort of Absolutely Fabulous-esque supporting character she's playing much more than it did when Cady tried weird and often broad stuff at AMC* or Y&R, or later stints at ATWT. She's not Dixie and she's not trying to be. I will freely admit some of the other chances she took at other shows often came off stiff, hammy or downright mortifying (Kelly Andrews, come on down). (* - and I say that as one of the few who was somewhat into Cady trying to make Dixie more cosmopolitan in the Rosanna Cabot mold in mid-2000s AMC, just to liven the character up again)
