You would think but usually funeral-oriented episodes doesn't do well for the shows as they want viewers to tune in. Perhaps it is a slap in the face to the viewers that OLTL would not honor or give a decent contract to Phil Carey (ex-Asa). But I'm sorry, he is an important character on the show, much more important than John, Natalie, Rex, Michael, Marcie, Marty, so on, and so on.

Too much exposures of Jason, Carly, Jerry Lizzie, and Lulu? I certainly do NOT care for these characters. Bring back Luke, Laura, Amy, Holly, Robert, Anna, Lucy, Kevin, Felicia, Frisco and the underutilized veterans like Tracy, Ed, Alan, Monica, Bobbie, Scotty......

Depends on who you define as core. I totally agree far too much emphasis is on John -- even the Tommy/Tj reveal turns out to be all about his angst. But one of the problems is that who longterm audience may define as core is somewhat different from who TPTB would like it to be. TPTB want the viewers who think Adrianna is the cat's meow. I'm far more likely to watch Dorian's antics, but the plotline there is almost guarenteed to alienate me just as much as Adrianna's. I'm tired of seeing Viki and Nora dumped on ...is there anything more they can do to spit at these women ? It's not like they have been hogging airtime either. Speaking of airhogs, I SHOULD like Marty, but I find her storyline actions nothing short of appalling.

I do wish ratings had gone up for the two episodes instead of remaining flat -- but I'm not totally surprised at it. After enough bait and switches, even the most dogged of consumers gives up hope.

OMG...yes! It's about time GL go back to a 2.0! I can't believe it tied with Days (I think the overexposure of certain characters is really hurting it right now) and it's only 0.1 away from ATWT (which I'm surprised is still the same given the Luke/Noah story...making my original pressumptions that they alone can't save the show right).

Days has got horrible again....all wishy-washy and see-sawing. Something has to stabilize this show before it can begin to hold it's own. I just wonder if the behind the scenes tensions has spilled over into the production. Hopefully the new team will have Days solid very quickly.

Last week was certainly a good week for the CBS soaps because almost all of them went up or stayed the same. I think Days is making a huge mistake and not giving the vets more prominent storylines. They are just supporting other characters and it is really hurting the show.

Same thing for AMC. They are focusing waaaaaaay too much on Zendall. I am so sick of that pairing that I feel like scratching my eyes out when they are on screen together. It is about time that the show ended that couple because it has been three years of Zendall, long enough for a soap pairing. Plus, Kendall is a character that should never be focused so much on children. She shouldn't be having two kids back to back. IMHO, Kendall should be written as the second generation of Erica, scheming, self-destructing, struggling, different guy every couple years, etc. Kendall has too much chemistry with other characters to limit her to just being part of a pairing and a mother. AMC has made a HUGE mistake doing this to Kendall. Sorry about the rant but my level of frustration with AMC is at an all time high.

There really is only one storyline going on with AMC right now so if you don't like it then what is there to watch. I don't know if the new writers are going to gradually start building up to other things or if they really overestimated the impact that this storyline would have on the show. But what they are doing isn't working. Vets need to be featured, couples need to be changed, and more storylines need to be going on or else the show is going to be tied with Days.

    • 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.
