I'm glad Asa's funeral didn't make the ratings go up. I certainly don't want Frons getting anymore stupid ideas that killing off a beloved vet is something we'd want to see.

If you're going to post something, at least get your facts right :rolleyes: Zendall hasn't even been together 3 years.

Oh yes let's blame Zendall, it couldn't possibly be Ryan, Annie, Greenpuke or way too much Ava. It couldn't possibly be that the show is depressing overall, and the characters are saying the same things day in and day, no let's blame Zendall, cause they're to blame for everything. What the [!@#$%^&*] ever, I'm so sick of that [!@#$%^&*] song and dance I could slap someone.

Oh yes I want to sooooooooo see another Erica Kane. I LOVE that Kendall has grown up, and isn't a cartoon. Erica regresses too much, so that is NOT a compliment to want Kendall like her.

You know I like Erica, but I see people constantly screaming for her to grow up. I like characters that mature and evolve. It's bad enough Greenlee has regressed AGAIN

There has yet to be payoff for this storyline. Everything is in limbo. Zendall ain't the focus, it's Spike. Zach & Kendall haven't even been on as much. Quantity wise their airtime lags behind every one else's. Before anyone says otherwise, clips prove it, so save it.

But I thought Carlavatti would be OLTL's savior? LMFAO, I guess not :lol: :lol:

Carlivati's work doesnt start until tomorrow. And I'd look at AMC's numbers if you really want something to laugh at. :) B&E have been Head writers for a good month and the show is crappy. People talk about Ron writing the 9999 and 10000. That was only in the breakdown capactiy, because he is a breakdown writer, but the story was Dena's.

And do what? People keep saying that, but what does it really mean? What stay married? Yeah, marriage is toxic to her, the last two year proved that. What, not cheat when she feels like her life is falling apart? If she had a man who stood by her, trusted and loved her, she wouldn't have to. What if she thought first and acted later? Yeah, that doesn't work for her either. This whole "mature" stuff, isn't Erica, and it's not going to be. I think people who want this for her, want the character gone. I love her just the way she is, always have and always will. If she were to suddenly turn into Myrtle or Carol Brady or whoever all of you invision her to be, she'd cease to be Erica Kane...and I don't think anyone would llke her.

ITA, Days continues to disappoint and as long as Sheffer is writing it will continue to suck. The failures he's had so far include Shelle on the run, Steve the Psycho, Touch the Sky, Santeen, the return of the DiMeras...how much longer can Days afford to let him continue?

Completely agree. It's sad because the show has so much potential. Although it has plenty of bad actors, it's also got some powerhouses, and potential to push some great stories.

Sadly, it doesn't look like that's going to happen though.

Ps. I am THRILLED about the new X-Files movie. Ever since David said they were beginning to work on the new script back in like March/Feb., I've been waiting with bated breath.

All but B&B had their lowest numbers of the week on Friday. Sure, many soaps stayed steady the whole week but when I see something like that it tells me something was up. Sure, many shows suck right now but something is still up with that.

Days, as much as I am liking it, deserved poor numbers for those 3 episodes. As bad as some thing the Vendetta story is, it's not killing the show. That story has drawn decent numbers this summer because people will at least tune in to see the vets. The TTS overload is hurting the show. All summer the ratings have dropped when TTS is featured prominently (more then 2 days) during the week. Days needs to cut that story to 2 days a week and give us the feud the rest of the time, along with the other stories. The ratings show that.

I think this week may see Days remain the same or a minor increase. I will hope for the same. I feel bad for Passions but I think many already stopped watching. The rest of the soaps, sans Y&R (which I can't understand) are doing just as bad. Days is still in the mix numbers-wise and I still find it funny how they drop in HH but increase in demos. Weird.

I will hope for better next week. This is bad all around really.

Interesting how some posters have claimed in the past that the ratings were good because of Zendall and now they are upset because ratings are bad but Zendall can't be blamed. It doesn't work that way. If Zendall is the best thing about AMC and the most recognized aspect and the ratings are tanking, of course they will be blamed.

Don't get me wrong, I think AMC's problems go beyond couples but I do think that Zendall is not drawing in viewers or helping the show anymore. They are just another pairing that needs to end, IMHO.

I don't believe in the ratings blame game. I don't believe ratings can be blamed on a certain character/couple...it's the overall quality, imo, that makes ratings go up or down. And the overall quality of AMC, imo, is lacking.

    • I'm anticipating most of the cast at the Nice location for a few weeks a la the Tuscan villa for Victoria and Ashland's wedding. I don't know why they bother. I'd rather see the money going into more regular home/office sets. This party has been a bust. No secrets revealed, break ups  etc. Ugly decorations and I'm going to slam the costuming again. Just the guests heaping praise on  Nikki  like she's achieved some magnificent milestone rather than just getting a year older.

In the loving arms of his wife, Dr. Marlena Evans, John took his last breath at the end of the June 2 episode, after suffering devastating internal injuries during a lab explosion. The iconic character went out as he lived — a hero. Sensing the fans’ devastation on Monday, Marlena’s portrayer Deidre Hall posted this simple-but-powerful message to fans on Instagram: “I know. I know. Hardest day ever.”

    • Now coming into June...well...   I knew it was coming but I didn't like the start to the next round of Dani/Bill/Hayley. As the 3 A plots from the start of the show (The SilkPress storyline and Martin's Secret being the other two), it needed to be benched for a while to develop those characters and allow other characters and storylines to grow. 3 months in, Hayley is the weak link, Dani is still divisive, but not boring, and Bill has been making his mark with some plots faster than others. So last week seeing the story starting to loop back around to them with Hayley's potential pregnancy, I honestly had mixed feelings.   I get it. The SilkPress storyline is currently in aftermath/next turn mode, so it has to be moved into a C plot position. Moreso if we want to keep the very talented Miss Trish around. And I love how clever the writers are being with the storyline. They give us enough in the episodes and are still playing out beats to keep the appetite fed. I don't feel like anyone is being dumbed down to keep her around. And Trish is giving nuances in her alone scenes with NuTed. I shouldn't care for a clear psycho, but she be selling it. That said...I wish they had given us a little more of the Martin's Secret storyline in the last week of the month though I loved the game of cat and mouse Bill did on Martin and Smitty to keep the storyline alive and active after it had a nice build beginning of May and vanished for a week mid-May. And it appears like it's about to go back to the backburner as an A plot which of course leaves the A plot of Dani/Bill/Hayley.   I am probably in the minority as someone who is not anti-Dani here and even she annoyed the heck out of me last week. In character true, but I just felt like there was a way to get all of that across without it feeling like...as I've said before...one step forward, two steps back...and have it feel organic. I liked Hayley got a little bit of edge with her, but she still ain't no match for Dani. And it reminds to be seen if we should be going back to that well of a story yet.   Now about today's show...   And I thought Tracy was bad! lol. But YES. Sharon has been worth the wait. And so has Anita's story! Finally having TT in the limelight. This has been a nice slow burn for me and a nice B plot. And the actress is good. The wig is giving. And her holding what Anita's secret is over her head and threatening to tell Vernon....Ooooo...that is what I was waiting for.    And speaking of bad...I thought Eva vs Kat was a great rivalry. But I am loving the rivalry that is growing with 'Nancy Drew' and Silk Press Sheila! They both get good licks in and are so cunning with each other. And I definitely have liked that since the anniversary party, that it has been growing. Now that Kat has been proven right, she has not backed down. And neither has SilkPress. And we got a 'Ms. B@tch' moment, too? LOVE. Eva coming up with a trump card was delicious and so 90s Sami Brady. GOOD. And the coda with Jacob and the expert...YES. The Silk Press storyline has been the best paced on the show so I love that the aftermath of the anniversary party continues to be so...barring one flaw...well for me. Not enough Nicole's POV.   And I like the C plots on display. And by that, I mean Chelsea with Vernon. And it made me wonder what the writers have plan for her love life now that the throuple is over with. I was watching her and going awww.   And of course the mystery man around Martin. I am starting to wonder if he really even works at the country club given how he made a run for it. That would be a twist.    Speaking of Martin...good to see him in scenes with his father and mother.    I'm getting used to NuTed.    I felt the last episode of May was a bit of a letdown, but this was a very nice recovery.
    • Unless they cut him, I'd think he would stay. Surely, he didn't choose to return because he expected high quality. I figure he gets to work when he wants and spend a lot of time doing his own thing and being with his family.
    • The writing for Liz and Lucky is indeed terrible, but if JJ signed a one-year contract he may be gone in a couple of months anyway. Perhaps they’re just cutting their losses.
    • That would be his older sister Stacey. She was the center of a big story back in the day. Nola was out to snag medical student Kelly Nelson, who she thought would provide her with the life she craved. He was in love with a girl named Morgan. Nola plotted to get pregnant by him, but couldn't manage to get him in bed. So she seduced Floyd, who thought she was in love with him. When she knew she was pregnant, she got Kelly drunk and made sure he woke up next to her in bed. Kelly believed her when she told him he made her pregnant. They were about to elope to Las Vegas, but her mother ratted her out and Kelly abandoned her. She almost married Floyd, but jilted him at the altar. She went to work for Quint. When the baby came prematurely, Kelly saved both of them. She named the baby Kelly Louise to irk Morgan, who was now married to Kelly. When she fell in love with Quint, she had a change of heart over all the trouble she had caused, so she changed the baby's name to Anastasia Louise, shortened to Stacey. Quint was a devoted stepfather and Henry treated her like his own granddaughter.  After Quint and Nola leave SF, I believe Stacey is never seen again. Which is odd, you would think they would have brought her back with Nola and J, but they never did.
