Members Ann_SS Posted June 2, 2007 Members Share Posted June 2, 2007 If Alden and Smith could be fired after winning an Emmy, then so can Latham. Ultimately, the demos will decide her faith just like it did Alden and Smith's. Although Y&R remains no. 1 in two of the three desired groups, the actual numbers have been declining along with the overall ratings. CBS isn't going ignore the bottom line no matter how many Emmys Latham wins. When Latham's contract up anyway? I don't think that Latham needs to be fired though. CBS needs to insist that she work with a strong soap consultant to slow down the show's pace, tell stories more consistently, improve the editing, stop dropping stories and having things happen off screen, stop the repetitive storylines, and put a break on her obsession with the Baldwin/Fishers and Brad. I'm convinced that something has happened behind the scenes at Y&R since February. Before then the show was much tighter and very focused. This was reflected in the ratings for February sweeps. After the reliquary mystery and Carmen's murder was wrapped up, I thought for sure that the show would take off. Instead Y&R has become a hot mess. I don't know what they were thinking with May sweeps. The summer spoilers hint at more of the same to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skiman12082004 Posted June 2, 2007 Members Share Posted June 2, 2007 I am thrilled that Passions went up in the ratings. It even got a 1.6 on Thursday. I guess fans were kind of p*ssed that JER faked them out again with Theresa and Ethan which explains the 1.3 on Friday. On a personal note, DIRECTV wasn't able to find a signal on the side of my apartment complex so I can't get DIRECTV. I'm devastated. I guess September 7th will be goodbye for me too. I hope someone will be able to get episodes online somehow. That will be my only hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kentville Posted June 3, 2007 Members Share Posted June 3, 2007 I disagree about B&B, the show is terrible right not. Nick and Taylor are one of the worst pairings ever, This whole egg drama is stupid, Con adds nothing, Rick and Ashley look like mother and son. The only good thing was the Stephanie/Brooke scenes, and even they are getting old. Where's Thorne, Felicia, Eric, Jackie?? I hope the show continues to fall. Bell thinks he can stay at #2 by riding Y&R coattails in most markets, but I have a feeling that a lot of viewers are getting fed up with the crappy writing and the focusing of Bell's pet of the moment.

Members GBB Posted June 4, 2007 Members Share Posted June 4, 2007 Wow, sylph. It looks like there was a precipitous drop in ALL soap ratings around mid-Feb or so, not just Days. B&B seems less affected than the rest for some reason. Anyone have a theory as to why they all dropped at once? A change at Neilsen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darcy Posted June 4, 2007 Members Share Posted June 4, 2007 I think around that time Nielsen added in some college campuses to the ratings but I would think that would make the ratings go higher. So my theory as to why the ratings dipped is because the weather got better. When the ratings spiked up it was not only the beginning of February Sweeps but there were also a few days where many people throughout the country were trapped in their homes or opted to work from home rather than go out in the snow or ice storms (and those just happened to be the days of out of the normal higher ratings).

Members PhoenixRising05 Posted June 5, 2007 Members Share Posted June 5, 2007 I like the looks of Days' demo numbers. They are building a lead again in 18-34 and have improved alot in 18-49. Slowly, things are getting better. There was a drop for most soaps after Feb sweeps. Days went down first and the others soon followed. I kept saying that and some thought I was making excuses for Days. Primetime shows began seeing drops in March too. I wonder what the heck happened? Oh, and Angela, the 5/22 episode was the day Philip/Belle/Shawn buried the hatchet and their boat went down, and Kayla saved Bo from Steve and he had a breakdown on the island. Other then that, I don't remember anything notable happening. The vets were back full force on Thursday. That was the episode I expected the big numbers for but whatever. As long as they went up.

Members Ann_SS Posted June 5, 2007 Members Share Posted June 5, 2007 Maybe CBS is happy with Y&R's ratings. They are mainly losing men and are holding in place with the women though they haven't recovered what they lost since February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
