WOW! Those CBS ratings ARE awful! Like I've been saying all along, Y&R is the most important and you see now that it's in the toilet, people aren't around to watch the other three. It's am EMERGENCY that Latham is fired!!!! WTF is going on behind the scenes?! Why is a newbie being given such special treatment?!

Lynn Latham might just be responsible for the END OF SOAPS. Once CBS is dead, daytime is dead and ATWT/GL (even B&B) are in B-A-D- shape!

Well, Y&R is part of the problem. But if ATWT was good enough it wouldnt need to rely on Y&R's numbers. Gawd....what will it take to fire Jean Passanante? This is ridiculous....fire the hack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The show needs a major overhaul. How long can they let this go on? I predict Katie and Jack will end quickly. CBS and PGP have made the show reunite Jack and Carly in the past. I also think the whole Craig/Meg/Paul triangle is a disaster and too repetitive. Just seeing Lucinda on air in a story when she is reduced to a criminal isn't enough. While i am no Scott Bryce fan he has a ton of fans, but again he has a bad story. The writing just sucks. I don't think Gwen and Will need to split up but they need something interesting for their characters and not Cleo.

YR sucks!

My friend and I watched it the other day... after a long time (she hasn't watched longer than I)...

Anyway, she was like: Who is that? and Who is this now? ALL THE TIME!

She practically only knew Sharon, Jack, Phyllis, Brad and Nikki.. okay, she new Amelia as Vicky, but she doesn't like her... lol

But I am glad that YR is going down... they gave LML too much control and now they have to deal with it. Fix things, CBS and Sony, PLEASE!!!

Oh, and has there been news on renewal of ATWT and GL? Cause if not, these ratings certainly won't help... :unsure:

I called it right! Days got a 2.3, and it was a rock solid 2.3 at that. Now they just need to overtake OLTL and AMC, and either CBS or ABC will pick them up in 2009. A little balance and a lot of romance goes a long way!

I can't believe that Days held a solid 2.3 from Tuesday - Friday! That's fantastic.

Still, a 2.3 is nothing compared to what the show could be getting. We have a long way to go.

Oh I agree, Kenny. It will be a long, slow steady climb to get back to where it was before the February nosedive, if Days ever gets back there.

But it is still only .3 away from GH and 3rd place, which is CRAZY considering where this show was a month ago.

AND at least Days is doing things right with these staggered returns because I feel like Stefano and Doug/Julie should warrant at least another .1 bump.

    • 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.
