Wow that 2.4 for Days had to be Tony and Anna fans. That is very good news. Hopefully, Days continues to use them. Sign LeAnn to a contract!!

These are promising numbers for Days. They stayed up over a 2.0 for the whole week and I hope they can maintain for this week, which has been sluggish. The promos for this week have been good so hopefully that holds fans. It always seems like boring weeks like this get better numbers then expected so, hopefully, that is the case. Days always seems to do well during this period no matter what is going on (the never-ending Carrie/Austin/Sami/Lucas/EJ and Belle/Shawn/Mimi/Philip stuff last year held a 2.7 for a month!) so I hope they can remain where they are or increase.

B&B is hurting and I think it's better then it's been. Good for OLTL an I hope AMC continues to increase as well. As for GH an the rest of CBS, eh...I keep hoping for Y&R to drop off. If there is one show that needs a ratings drop, it's them. LML has to go.

Here's hoping for another good week next week!!

This is what happened on last Thursday's Days:

As Sami composes herself after seeing the photo of Colleen and Santo, Hope reminds her that Lucas is the man she loves, not E.J. She also decides to put the photos away so that Lucas doesn't see them. Hope complains that Lucas feels she cares about E.J. and when she tries to deny it, Hope warns that the more a person tries to deny your feelings, the stronger they can become. Sami tells her how she tried kill E.J. but couldn't do it. She then confesses that she liked E.J. and felt that Stefano brainwashed him to hurt her. E.J. approaches Lucas and states that he wants peace between them but when he also reminds Lucas that he fathered the babies Sami is carrying, Lucas orders him to relinquish his rights to them if he truly wants there to be peace. The two eventually call a truce for the sake of the kids. Anna surprises John and Marlena on their jet as they prepare to fly to find Tony. She demands that they take her with them. When they land and begin their search, they find Tony alive and well. After they bring him up to date, they ask about the problem between the two families. Tony claims that Colleen was murdered and Santo forced Stefano to seek payback the rest of his life. He then reveals Stefano has a key which will end the vendetta but insists he is not returning to Salem. An upset Stefano meets Bo at the Pub. There, Bo claims that Andre has been posing as Tony these past few months. Stefano denies knowing anything about this. Bo then leaks that John and Marlena are going to look for him but fear that he may already be dead. The elder Shawn interrupts, outraged that Stefano is in his place of business. He demands that Bo forget about the past but when Bo insists, Stefano announces that Shawn murdered his own sister. Shawn walks away and when Bo defends him, Stefano warns him not to ignore the truth. He also claims he's going to end the vendetta tonight and notifies Rolf to get some extra help to take care of all the Bradys.

Bold and Beautiful is relying on cascading through new stunt cast members like Constantine and now Heather Tom to bolster the flagging ratings, instead of an honest change in any character. Brooke still pants over one of the Marone brothers (Ridge or Nick), still fighting with Stephanie over anything even remotely resembling a life, and 'fighting' with Taylor over a man. .

OLTL is starting to get buzz for the ending stories, and there is some improvement: it seems like some characters (not all) are beginning to show glimpses of life.

Happy to see DAYS rise.

I might not be invested in GL as much as I used to, but I really wish the show would get back in the 2.0s it's just simply too sad for me to see as a GL fan, even though I hate what the TPTB have done to the show.

I love Tony and Anna and apparently so do a lot of folks. To see them together on Days again is definitely a dream come true. Hopefully, Hogan will write well for them.

Even though I personally love Scott and Ali together, the LUMI fans are killing Days, I think. Sheffer gambled and lost with forcing them on us so powerfully and so soon. Sami alone was not that powerful in my judgment. Still, in the end game, I hope it's Scott and Ali now. They are equal professionally.

Good for Days and with inching upward, maybe there will be a three-way tie with GH and B&B.

I'd like to know what's going on over at B&B their ratings have been in a free fall for the past few weeks. This is the perfect time for GH to try and make a run to take over the #2 spot.

I'm surprised OLTL is on the rise. I still think the show sucks and although Higley's storylines are being wrapped up the show still has a long way to go for me to be interested again.

Well, Ashley is featured but her storyline sucks. She is paired with Ridge and was involved with Rick. How boring if you ask me. The only good story is Brooke vs Stephanie but maybe the audience is tired of seeing it again.

Yeah, I noticed it was featured a lot last week. That must be the reason for the increase. At this point it seems like ABC soaps are on an upswing while CBS is on a downslide with NBC included. Days has all the right players in their storyline but the reason for the Dimera hate/revenge stinks! And two bombs in two or three episodes one after the other? :blink: A bit much if you ask me.

But hey my soap is stinking up the place with no signs of Pissanante being out! I dont know why she is still HW of the show. :blink:

I watch the show on and off but I don't think I want to tune back in. I heard Taylor might be pregnant with Brooke's kid. That's too soapy for me. LOL

I will say I'm glad Todd is awake and alert. The storyline of him being dragged all over Llanview was ridiculous.

Yeah, I forgot about that. Not a storyline I am interested in. It reminds me of Ashley when she stole sperm to get pregnant. It smells of Y&R's former HW. Her name slips me....LOL. I didnt like it on Y&R. And I dont like it on B&B either....LOL.

I am loving B&B these days and it deserves better ratings. I think that B&B's ratings are closely tied to Y&R's ratings. Since February, Y&R's ratings dropped and plateaued and B&B has done the same. I certainly hope that GH doesn't pass B&B because GH sucks.

ATWT has not been good in over year so its struggles are well deserved.

I can understand Y&R's ratings for the week - It was the Kevin/Jana payoff, William's death, and Adrianne Leon's last week.

I'm expecting it to start sinking really fast. There is nothing of interest anymore now it's become the Amber-and-her-stooges show.

    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
