Darn those pre-emptions. I doubt EJami and Stefano had anything to do with the fall. It's just some wishful thinking on a Lumi fan's part. Anyway, if you look at Monday's ratings, it's a 2.3. If I'm not mistaken, 2.3 was the number Days carried each day the week prior. I think if there weren't any pre-emptions, Days would have stayed the same or rise. It's disappointing to see the ratings fall, but I think it's an outside factor that caused a whirlwind. Look at the other soaps. Most of them dropped, too.

Actually it was Thursday too. I think it was even mentioned in the daily thread last week and other sites have had people mention it was both Thursday and Friday too. It wasn't in every market but enough to cause issues. Friday was the only day it was noticeable but I also think it's fair to say that the 2.1 on Thursday would've been higher with Stefano's return, J&M, etc but it was likely held down.

The same will happen this week too with the golf preemptions today and Friday. It happened last year the first two weeks of Steve and Kayla's return. The show went down and then increased and stabilized from that point on after the preemptions.

For the same reason as Friday...tennis. I have heard posters on other Days boards mention this too. Plus, one poster on SON mentioned in the daily Thursday thread last week that Days was moved to late night because it was preempted Thursday as well. I wish Days just made Thursday and Friday last week and Thursday and Friday this week special episodes because this killed them last year and is killing them this year. I hate how the best things on Days have been happening on these days and preemptions are screwing with it. Ugh.

Damn...all those ratings suck.

GL's ratings don't really bug me anymore...they're only .2 behind ATWT and Days. :blink: It's obvious, though that Zimmer alone can't carry this show. They need to start getting old characters back.

With all the preemptions happening in the States, I'm really curious as to what the Canadian ratings are. Global and CH rarely interrupt the soaps..at least from what I've seen.

I doubt it, PR. Pre-emptions in a few markets cannot account for a -.4 drop from Monday to Friday (especially since Tuesday/Wednesday were unaffected). Even the VT massacre didn't cause that dramatic a drop and the pre-emptions were far more widespread that week.

I thought that summer brought new ratings for the teens who were out of school! Oh well...I do however agree with LML being horrific. What was so bad about J. Smith?

On behalf of GL, bringing Jonathan back may have a jump but I agree that older characters should be brought back. Quint and Nola (both of which have actors who are willing to come back) would have a major impact as well as Mindy & Phillip.

I was surprised that PAS went down. They have exciting story plots going on now but the show has such a bad rap that I don't think even an emmy win could fix that. Will PAS still be counted on the ratings when they go to DirectTV?

    • There’s absolutely nothing exciting happening storyline wise but I’m always happy to see the vets on my screen so I’ll take what I can get. It’s also just nice to see them all dressed up in the same room, it always gives classic Y&R vibes. The best part? No Phyllis.

    • Well now we had Ashley's reaction-and weren't we all gasping when she appeared to hate it-but she was just joking!! She loved it. Now we have to see Abby's reaction, and maybe Mamie could come back to say she loves it. How about Jill via Zoom giving her opinion (she'll love it) and bring in a day player to play Mrs Martinez to say she loves it also... I feel bad to keep dumping on this show (not really) but when the choices they make are so inane, it's the only entertainment value the show has. Let's unpack the Nikki birthday story. So Claire wants to throw her Nana a birthday bash as away of endearing Kyle to Victor. Don't quite get the logic there,but OK. She hires a party planner who makes ridiculous suggestions. Slightly annoyed that Y&R are hiring someone for this role for 5 episodes when we never see doctors, co- workers etc. But OK to that to. With all the talk we are expecting something special. What we get is the Jazz Lounge hideously decorated with some ugly tablecloths and a few tacky decorations. They needed a planner for this? Then the guest list consists of family members (no grandchildren)and a few others. Hardly a party. As usual the costuming is pretty awful. A red and black theme ? And our guest of honor is sporting a do that looks like a cross between Cameron Diaz in Something about Mary and Marie from Roxette. They should have had an intimate dinner and ditched all the fanfare. Would have been way more believable.

    • Her accent sounds horrible and doesn't fit in line with the character or the dialogue. I was just messing around on YouTube and perusing early Tad and Dixie videos. Notably, Dixie, a resident of Pigeon Hollow, West Virginia, has no discernible accent. i have no idea why she would add a defunct accent to this character now. I want to do an honest survey here. I watch BTG every day and I love it. It's not perfect, but I find it 99% entertaining. For those that find fault with it - what is actually bothering you? I'm not going to argue at all, or disagree with you. I just want to know what others are seeing that I'm not.
    • It's a choice and today, she made it more British than ever before. It's almost like she's making Pamela act like how she thinks she should be acting.
    • I cannot believe there is a whole storyline about the Abbott house renovation. They really are grasping over at Y&R. I don’t see a big difference in the set. It is refreshed. Why make a storyline out of it? 
    • Cady is using what sounds like a transatlantic accent which is so odd these days. Sharon's hostility is entertaining already. That look she gave Anita when she opened the door was pure attitude.
    • Glad you agree about Chandler’s smirking. It’s the reason I criticize him. He hasn’t grown as an actor, unfortunately. I don’t fawn over him because of his looks. I wish he’d never appear until he loses his smirking style of acting.  Dee is doing a great job but yes, the story with the bandages isn’t the best. I get it- Drake wasn’t available and its a throwback to how John came to Salem, but it’s tough to get into the scenes when we know it’s not Drake under the bandages. 
    • From that same channel, Anything For Love, which failed to make NBC's 1985-86 schedule. With all due respect to Lauren Tewes and Vicki Lawrence, that this was under consideration seems less about their star power and/or chemistry and more that NBC wanted its own Kate & Allie. Still, kudos to Lauren for being rehabilitated enough in one year to already go on the comeback trail.
