Just a side note, I personally did not do that research. I wasn't watching AMC back then. But person who did those credits, did watch AMC and I trust that person. ;)

Maybe.

But JER can do some crazy ass stunt to get the ratings up for a year (just in time for renewal), and then Sony/DAYS can go to NBC or whoever they want and say, "Who wants the #2 soap on the air?" :D

Actually ... that has occurred to me :lol:

But don't forget that it's kind of JER's fault that we're even facing cancellation. Sheffer was brought in to save the show, meaning the show needed a savior before he even came. So if we bring JER back ... we might just be doing this whole thing over again three years down the road.

Question.

If JER is such a great writer, why is it that......

1. He got ran out of Days on a rail because of the f'ed up stores HE was writing, and.........

2. How well did he do on Passions? Did the EPs hate him on that show too?

He wrote a show he created into the ground after 8 years of (apparently) not ending the majority of his stories, on top of being buried in the bottom of the ratings for almost the entire run of the show. So, if you want, go watch passions on NBC.

Oh, wait. You can't.

It's been cancelled!!!! :lol:

I am happy to see Sheffer's reputation go down in flames though. No awards, no ratings, no acclaim, nada. Hopefully this means that he won't make a Guza/McTavish-like return to ATWT when DAYS wizens up (or is canceled for his/Corday's ineptitude.)

I dunno, much as I want Hogan's reputation ruined, I want Ed Scott to be this show's savior. DAYS fans deserve it. And screw Langan for starting this landslide.

:o:angry: I don't get it. DAYS is so much better than it was at the first of the year and it's so low in the ratings. SOAPNET's ratings should be calculated into the final tallies for the soaps IMHO. I bet that more people actually watch DAYS, GH, ONE LIFE and even AMC than B&B or ATWT or GL, since all are on SOAPNET at varying times.

Thank you!

Don't think JER didn't drive away viewers, he came in and changed Days's identity, while I enjoyed some of his first run and the SSK seemed alright until Melaswan(though....I blame Corday alot for that), it would drive away even more people I feel.

JER and Hogan....I don't think it would go well. Hogan is good IMO he just needs to step it up alot, but if he doesn't and they bring in JER.....things would go wrong....very wrong.

When you lose your core audience, the ones who've stuck by you through thick and thin, you've lost everything. Because your core audience? Is the same audience you'll never win back, no matter how hard you try. Just ask anyone who suffered through the final, brave days of ANOTHER WORLD, and they'll tell you the same.

Speaking of...any chance you will be getting some type of ratings for Passions Toups? In terms of the three networks....Passions has been cancelled. I dont know how many who watched on NBC switched over to Direct TV?

maybe after Corday and Sh. see the ratings they will finally clue in what has brought the ratings up before....write a story for Marlena (d hall) and kill some people off....via a natural disaster...hell id watch if they focused on a vet getting alzhimers ...they need good stories for the vets not just supporting the younger characters...i can't believe these great actors stayed with the show for nothing...

    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
