That is just one of the problems of ATWT. Meg is just so wrong to be running World Wide. It is so stupid. And I am so tired of her being paired with Craig. I want Craig away from Meg. Dear Gawd.....Goutman must not care about ATWT because if he did Jean would have been out long time ago. These numbers for ATWT cant continue. Something must be done NOW!

That is sad that GL has a lower budget yet their demos for this week are higher than ATWT.

And yes....yesterday's show was horrible. From Gwen to Allison's whining.....Even Cady's return has been a bore. Why pair her up with Paul...another boring character I cant stand anymore.

I am a little surprised that Y&R went up considering how negative most online posters seem to be about the show. I haven't watched it for a while so I can't really say anything about it. Good for Days for going up! It would be nice to see them gradually inch their way back up. They could go up to 2.3 and it could be a three way tie for fourth!!!

And I can't really say that I am surprised by AMC falling. I tuned in for the first couple weeks of the crash storyline and I grew bored with it really quickly. I think the actors, except for the new Greenlee, are doing a good job with the material but it isn't compelling enough to keep me watching. How much baby drama has AMC done over the past few years?? I don't want to see another baby storyline for at least three years on that show. Plus, the Ava/Jonathan stuff is just gross to me and I am sick and tired of Fusion. I am so tired of Zendall and the new Greenlee sucks.

I think the new writers for AMC need to start focusing on other storylines and build them up a lot more than what they have. One big umbrella storyline isn't going to carry the show for the next year like they had wanted. I really had hoped they would come in and really mix things up and change a lot of what is going on with the show. How about a rival company for Fusion or the end of Fusion altogether? How about some characters returning like Jake Martin? How about making Kendall interesting again and giving her an edge and personality back???

Can you imagine if Jean goes and ATWT goes further down the tubes ratings-wise? A year ago when Hogan was hired at Days, a lot of people here predicted that Days would be the #2 soap by Christmas 2006. Of course that never happened and Days lost a lot of its core audience and has yet to full recover.

If the audience has gotten too used to Jean's craptastic writing, a new writing regime with a fresh outlook might alienated more viewers. Audience behavior is quite erratic these days, it would be sad.

    • 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.
