The Friday numbers for the CBS shows are alarming!! I guess no one cared about the return of Paul or Rosanna last week. The numbers were horrible. Nuke wasnt even on until Friday. When no one decided to watch CBS daytime. I thought ATWT would drop this week. Last wasnt as great. It so sad to see ATWT number going farther down the tube and nothing be done about it. Both Jean Passanante and Chris Goutman are sitting nice and pretty in the high chairs. Just a shame.

Zach and Kendall had tremendous potential. But the writing for them has been weak for some time, and the show is relying on them to be STARS along with a few others. They would work as part of a balanced ensemble with writing that was geared to their strengths. Carrying the show? No.

Not Y/R. Young and the Restless continues to be top in that catagory. The other shows.... not so good.

ONE LIFE is picking up and I think some viewers are dropping ATWT and switching to ONE LIFE. I agree GH mob story seems good and should help. If GH kills off people like Kate and maybe Ric, then the ratings should go up too. Glad AMC is still pitiful, deservedly so. DAYS should be up. DAYS is a lot better IMHO than AMC, and better than GH as well right now.

Eh....Paul and Co did nothing for the ratings. They were worse than last week during the Nuke kiss and buzz. Nuke was barely featured. And they were shown on the last day of the week. Which ATWT fans tend to watch the least. It just seems changes will not be done. So I will just enjoy Nuke and parts of the Carly storyline. And hope one day Nuke has a steamy sex scene and the show ends in cancellation. Thats what I am looking forward too. Because I dont enjoy the show anymore. Just give me Nuke 24/7.

I hope so also, maybe that can help pull in some more viewers. If it fails CBS Daytime is going to be even worse off then they already are. :(

As for the Friday problem I think viewers are on to the fact that no CBS soap does cliffhangers anymore, I can't speak for the other networks on whether they do them or not but CBS sure does not. Fridays and Mondays should be the highest for any soap each week. Then again what kind of cliffhanger could you have on ATWT, the show just runs around in circles and never goes anywhere week to week. The only time ATWT gets more viewers is when something big happens and that is about it other than that most don't tune in because they just saw the previous eppy and figure the next one will be the same, which most of the time it is. I could not watch for 2 months and I would still be seeing the same thing I am seeing this week.

Obviously the ratings are in the pits, but I must say being a new viewer of ATWT and loving the Luke/Noah storyline, that is the only storyline that I find entertaining on the show.

Passions aired its last network episode yesterday and it was terribly bittersweet. I am so happy the show is continuing on DIRECTV. Maybe I will replace Passions in my DVR with ATWT. But for me to do that ATWT is definitely going to have to up its game a bit.

    • 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.
