At this point I think #3 is open to all the soaps other than Y&R and B&B and PASS, seeing as it looks like GH is dropping off again, most of the soaps are within .4 or less of the number 3 spot now. Which ever show brings it for Summer will have that spot again.

This is really disapointing. All the soaps suck. Some shows are great but the ratings are not showing for it. I am really mad but whatever. Frons better get his act together. :angry: He better hope the two new writers for AMC are great because if they suck AMC is going to go down. ALso OLTL. WTF. Them staying and the stories are boring. With the whole Rex crap and Todd not being found. ALso GH. I am veery surprised at that 2.5. It really sadding. I hope AMC and GH can rise.

As for DAYS. They had a great week last week. With those 2 weeks they go up they go right back down. A 2.1. Wow. Hogan needs to realize that he needs to do something about it. DAYS has the potential but it seems like there not trying.

As for GL and ATWT. Those are low ratings to. They need to raise it back up.

At the rate things for soaps are going to end.

On Friday it did. Days usually airs at noon here. It is up against AMC and B&B. But was seen at 1pm and was up against OLTL and ATWT. Passions airs at 1pm here and instead was seen at 2pm. It was up against GL and GH. But I noticed all the soaps dropped on Friday except for the CBS lineup. Y&R's numbers stink. Three shows below a 4.0 and only one above 4.0. I am not surprised.

I wasn't expecting a huge gain for DAYS, but I was hoping for another +.1 because of Stefano's return. I don't care about preemptions, DAYS should have been able to maintain at the very least. Daytime ratings are impossible to understand! It is sad when a 2.8 puts B&B easily in 2nd place. Hopefully DAYS will rebound for this week.

GH will continue to SKate to a new low :lol: Add Liason to the mix w/all the rinse/recycle of these story lines. Throw in Frons right timing :lol: (whatever) with NS makes GH a sinking ship.

I hope GH falls to 3rd place w/the ABC soaps.

Was sad to see Y/R drop. It has been moving a little slow. It picked up IMO this week which is good!

DOOL, deserves better then these ratings!

When you look at the quality of the shows, DAYS ratings isn't worthy of a 2.1 (maybe a few months ago). It wasn't a bad week (quality wise it was actually quite good). I'm sure they'll swing up again.

Hopefully on GH, they'll realize that no one gives a good hootin freakin frack about Elizabitch, Jasshat, UnLucky or their god damn baby. Liason fans (and I mean real ones, not the ones subscribing to this "underlying love [!@#$%^&*]") aren't happy with their story. The characters are being written out of character to justify a plot point and the audience is tuning out.

This isn't just about Stefano and Ejami. A lot of Days' vets were on last week. Doug and Julie appeared during two episodes. Hope and Bo, John and Marlena, Shawn Sr....if the veterans can't bring viewers back to the show...what's left?

I can understand the jump from 2.1 to 1.9 on Friday considering the number of viewers who probably got tennis instead of Days, but I'm more bothered by the drop-off from Monday to Tuesday...the day Doug and Julie were back for the first time since Christmas.

    • 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.
