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...

    • 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.

    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 I just loved Valerie on my early '90s TV shows. This one gets me.
