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.

    • Was Blake the product of Roger raping Holly, or did that come after when they were a couple?
    • I really wish we could see that episode...absolutely, my memory could be faulty, it was a very long time ago. I'm not going to contradict what the actors said--there has to be a reason it made them so uncomfortable that they talked about it in the press and complained to TPTB. I think that was the first one where they made the point that they wanted to educate the audience about the subject.
    • I just did with GL and its made me very happy!

          Oh yes, trying to get into any soap from scratch starting post-2010 would be hard. I prefer to go back to the good ol' days, before the decline. 
    • Can we talk about how iconic the 1994 tornado was on AMC? I was scanning through old episodes last night and came across this episode. The tornado was epic and the storylines/aftermath were so good (Julia's scar/Noah!; Jenny/Ray/Nola/Jesse in heaven with Tad, etc).  For 1994, these special effects and budget for this big event were amazing. 10 out of 10!  The only thing missing is Erica!  I can't recall where Erica was at the time, but I really wish she had been involved in this storyline.

    • On the way to her own engagement party? I've read that the show had trouble getting the audience to sympathize with Rita, but...that seems bizarre. Maybe I can understand the issue with the censors, given that at the time, rape wasn't depicted the way it is now, and marital rape was even less acknowledged.  Wasn't Chris Brooks' rape one of the first honest stories on the subject? I just don't think I could get into a show I didn't have a working knowledge of. I know it's a different era, but I really tried to get into GH once Maura West joined, but it just never jelled.
    • Yes it was! My mom and I convinced my dad to get one. He was--how shall I put this?--on the thrifty side, but one day he came home with one as a surprise. To this day, I'm convinced it fell off a truck. (He knew people with "connections."

      ) BUT, we had our VCR and we could watch our soaps. That thing lasted forever! It was built like a tank. Even when we got new ones with more features, we kept that one.

        Blasphemy!  (Haha, I get it.  But, you should try watching AMC! 80s-90s was so good.)
    • I thought about saying how I resented the fact that those two newbies were tripping up the Puppetmaster of all Puppetmasters, when the best others could do was a stalemate (or less...). But, well...*sigh*
    • I read years ago that both Zaslow and Lenore both complained that it came off as a seduction because of CBS censors, so Lenore asked if she could say, "you raped me" to leave no doubt with the audience, and that Zaslow insisted that Holly's rape played realistically 
    • Wow it’s official, Gatwa is out… https://www.avclub.com/ncuti-gatwa-addresses-doctor-who-finale-statement DW fandom on Reddit is in a furor over how things went down and apparent last minute scrapping of the original ending. Also…Billie Piper again really?
