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?

The teens I know arent watching soaps. They are off doing other things during the summer. Joining summer track and swimming. They are not at home watching soaps.

    • 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.
