I just knew the time changes and NBCD reshuffle would hurt Days. At least it's a 1.9 though, which isn't too far away from a 2.0, where it was. However, I seriously doubt Days will ever be able to regain and get back into the mid 2.0's ever again. REALLY CRAPPY week for soaps.

You know it's bad when GL's outlook is in much better shape than Days'...

If this were a few weeks ago, I would agree. Last week was fantastic, especially the end of the week. The vets were heavy on Thursday and Friday.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Days's dailies for Monday and Tuesday were awful and then they rebounded a bit at the end because more happened and I am sure people adjusted to the time slot changes.

Yes, the show isn't perfect but it doesn't deserve a 1.9, especially not for last week. The balance needs to be better but the quality was there. Bad week for everyone really though. It's pretty sad when as bad as Days is doing it's only .3 away from being in the middle of the pack.

At this point, will that even work anymore? Days has definitely lost its core audience, much like GL did in 2004. Those viewers might never return, no matter what events Corday, Scott, and Sheffer pull out. Days is going to be at the bottom or second to the bottom of the ratings list for a while and has been there for a while, I think it's time to just accept it.

Dailes still aren't in? That might give us a better picture of how things really are.

Some fans might have stayed with Passions, others turned off the TVs. If some judge show or talk show replaced Passions in some markets and that did better against the CBS and ABC soaps, the other network affilliates will probably start getting ancy to replace their soaps with the same thing.

Glad ATWT held steady.

DAYS is crap right now. I think they deserves these ratings.

I even think AMC deserved these ratings. It has all been Zendell! Wheres the balance! AMC better they have a better fall. I am looking foward to the Wes/Ritchie/Babe/Annie thing.

Horrible week for Soaps!

    • 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.
