That is really sad for Passions. I guess fans didn't just want to come back. They missed a good finale. Their loss.

Not much movement with the soaps. That 2.1 for Days on Friday is a good sign. The TTS story began to climax and that had the Stefano stuff. Hopefully, Days can ride that momentum. Usually they do good the week after they have a good Friday rating.

As I've said the last few times....DAYS deserves the ratings it's getting. I'd much rather them take a hit now to finish this god awful Touch the Skye storyline, then drag it out for another couple of months. Hopefully when it's over we can get back to the quality storylines that don't drive viewers away.

<_<

I just noticed some odd swings. Most soaps stayed within a range for most of the week - but both OLTL and AMC had a wild swing. AMC went up to 2.5 on Friday, and OLTL went from its low, 2.2 back to a 2.5 on Friday. I can't remember anything special going on either show that would account for that type of spike/decline.

Friday's ratings for the ABC soaps (all at 2.5) aren't strange to me, since CBS didn't air any soaps. It's Tues-Thurs that's interesting. OLTL and GH actually tied on Tues and Wed, but OLTL dropped back on Thursday for some reason. If not for Thursday, OLTL and GH would've tied for the week. (And aside from Friday, when CBS didn't air its shows, AMC was under OLTL and GH all week).

I forgot that CBS didn't air any soaps on Friday. Didn't they air tennis....or was it golf? I can't remember that far back!! That explains why the ABC soaps and Days went up. Normally, Friday is the worst day for soaps. Doubt that they will be able to retain the audience that they gained for one day.

I am really glad B&B is doing well. I am starting to really like that soap. I love to hate Stefanie! Days has lost me with all the Colleen/Santo stuff. Plus I don't really like Jeremy and the storyline surrounding the young crowd right now. Overall, I am just really bored with Days and haven't watched it for several weeks so it isn't surprising that they aren't doing well.

OLTL is getting somewhat better, and has momentum with the upcoming murder/ custody trials (REALLY bad time to only have a DA and no contract lawyer characters.) - and could well tie with GH in the next few weeks, as long as it stops dropping to 2.2.

Poor NBC, everything is just a mess there, Passions really did deserve some type of bump in its last week though. I think the real test comes next week when we see how well Days does with all the time slot changes and without Passions as a companion soap.

Interesting that most soaps had their best ratings on Friday...

Though, the NBC and ABC soaps probably only went up because CBS didn't air soaps on Friday...

I guess it's good that most soaps stayed stagnant, but that really isn't something to be proud of either.

    • 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.
