I absolutely expected the DAYS gain...I expect them to gain again like .1 or .2 next week!

Wimbledon was especially rough to the NBC soaps this year, so naturally its going to take a little extra time for them to rebuild to their pre-wimbledon numbers.

DEFINETLY happy to see DAYS back in the 2's and back above GL!

I agree and understand why the show has been able to maintain its number 4 standing. The show still has a number of issues to workout but I have been enjoying the show most days over the past few weeks. I am seeing alot of potential and hoping that alot of good will come in the near future.

WTF happened to all the soaps on Friday, every soap did BAD on that day besides GH, who was consistent with the other days #'s!

B&B got a 2.5 on Friday...that has to be a new record low for the dailies for them...1.6 for GL that also has to be a record low for them too in the dailies!

Totally agree!

A gain is a gain for me...even if the show did lose 600,000 viewers last week because of the holiday and wimbledon, this week they gained half back...which is good.

Imagine if they didn't gain at all or even dropped, that would have been an even WORSE situation than last week!

I didn't expect Days to gain back everything they lost last week but getting back to 2.0 is a positive sign. Now, it will be interesting to see how they do for the ratings next week. Will they continue to gain or is this as good as the ratings are going to get?? Tune in next week!!!

I was expecting a 2.1 at least but a 2.0 is still good. The end of the week killed them and it seems Friday was hard on everyone but GH. Weird.

Usually Days sees consistent gains or maintains from now until August so we'll see if that tradition holds up as the tennis one did this week. Even so, good to see Days recover, especially in the summer time. We can all say that Days always recovers and so on but summer is hard to get ratings with so much going on and so on. I think Days will see a +1 gain at least for this week for all the vets and the Tony stuff. The next few weeks are vet-laden so, hopefully, that will pay off in the ratings. It's going to take a bit but they are getting there.

Good to see all the other soaps up for the most part. GH is getting close to #2. B&B is in a spiral of sorts it seems.

Hope for even better next week.

Another craptastic week for soaps, you know it's bad when some of us are calling a friggin' 2.0 a major success for Days, when it really isn't. Y&R and GH have been holding steady for a while now, while the others fluctuate, I guess that's somewhat commendable.

Days is never going to rival GH and B&B again. Days has lost too much of its core audience to do so, and it isn't doing a very good job of regaining them. A lot of us seem to be hoping that Days would have a steady upward trend, but that's near to impossible in today's world, its gonna take one hell of a miracle for Days to be as high as #4, yet alone anything higher.

    • 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.
