I'm confused, don't know which data to take as official...

SOW ratings only reflect Live watching and no DVR same day watching. SON ratings include DVR same day watching. I dont know why SOW doesnt use the added DVR watching.

Ratings mean nothing to me anymore. I know that fans are gone, and they're probably not coming back. I will continue to watch what they are missing, because it's damn good! I know that the ratings are what matters when it comes to keeping a show on the air, but I'm done getting upset over the low ratings. I'm enjoying what we're seeing and if that means that I can only enjoy DAYS for the next year and a half, then that's fine by me.

Damn good, Drew? I think that's a bit of an overstatement, it is, however, your opinion, and I respect that.

Look at this:

May 3-7, 2004

* aired Monday to Thursday due to breaking news on Friday

Households

1. Y&R 4.2/16 (+.1) *

2. DAYS 3.2/11 (+.2) *

3. GH 3.1/11 (-.1)

4. B&B 2.8/10 (-.3)

5. AMC 2.7/10 (-.2)

6. OLTL 2.6/10 (-.2)

7. ATWT 2.5/9 (-.1)*

8. GL 2.1/7 (-.1) <---- low

9. PSNS 2.0/7 (same)

the ratings weren't so good 3 years ago; I didn't know b&b hit 2.8 in 2004!

Oh, thanks! I updated the data, and here's what The Young and the Restless look like from the end of 2003 until this latest week:

And this is the chart for Days of Our Lives:

The difference in the Y&R slopes (a bit steeper now with 2003...but pretty shallow still) and Days is BREATHTAKING.

Poor Days! It really has not gotten the creative love it deserved.

BTG: December 2025 Discussion Thread

I agree. One of my initial complaints... and they are still doing it too much... Lazy writing.

There is something to Donna Mills in the same regard. Especially as Abby got more and more power for herself, she played her calmer and calmer as the years progressed. Abby is still calculating, but I can’t think of many times any of the three of them went full Valene or Karen. And I love those ladies, don’t get me wrong. But Joan Van Ark can be very histrionic and mannered, and Michele Lee is very soapy in the traditional sense.
The year after Sid died, before Mac arrived, Lee does a lot of quiet, beautiful acting in several episodes. But she can go balls out and did quite often. The whole Chip/Diana story is when it gets really noticeable to me. That run she does to find Diana has left at the end of season 4 is almost comical in her mannerisms and she doesn’t say a word.

The storyline with Madison feeling unsupported by Chelsea with her mom is actually interesting because it's different and topical without being overly political, but maybe it would have been nice to like, show it? They are getting to be like Y&R, too much narrating. We should be seeing the dynamics of dinner with her mom instead of being told. It could be done at a restaurant if creating a house set is an issue.

I can't find the book in Canada - Amazon and Indigo/Chapters doesn't have it, and google didn't help.

I just finished the book! overall it was a pretty good read...definitely more told of the POV and research of a fan which isn't a bad thing (going by JT Cornell is actually clever and hilarious!) and kind of more of a year by year recap of what happen on the show with little anecdotes thrown in. I definitely would love to hear more BTS stuff about certain stories and more of the actors words when it came to doing certain scenes and trying to make sense of the some of the more out there stories. It was good to learn a bit more about JER though. For as crazy as his storytelling was, it seemed everyone in the industry respected his ideas he bestowed upon daytime.

That was crazy to find out how affected Rodney Van Johnson really was at playing the "angry black man" and how he got PO'd at Chris Maleki's Spike for throwing fake punches at him ( I don't recall them fighting on the show though) That's scary he had to really wind down after filming to get all the anger out.
All the love for Ben Masters and the cast not knowing what was really going on with him before his death made me tear up a bit. I didn't realize how much he was involved in Tracy Ross's kids life too!

They even have quite a few paragraphs devoted to the the music having to be replaced on the SCI Fi and Superchannel rebroadcasts which is of course what I always complain about too! LOL That's why I always want to see the original broadcast 1999-2001 episodes pop up more where the music isn't messed with.

It's funny, YouTube took me on a nostalgia trip rediscovering things from the early 2000s that I loved recently and I realized from adult eyes the same thing. I think for Passions it's probably the nostalgia factor, those 12-17 year olds are now in their 30s/40s reliving that time. Hard to know if I'd been as into it as an adult, but as a kid for whatever reason me an my friends were obsessed haha

Grant came first and Ryan followed, then Spencer, and eventually Kelsey. I really wanted to like Kelsey but Kaitlin Hopkins in the role rubbed me the wrong way.
It took some time for it to turn out that Ryan was Carl's biological son. If they had used Perry as Vicky's True Love maybe things would have swung the other way and Perry would have found out that he was Spencer's biological son, thus backing into the rivalry with Grant and ensuing triangle.

MTS has said that Victor/Nikki were an accident pairing and it was Bill Bell that saw the connection between her and EB before they themselves did. The audience clearly saw the connection too, since the My Fair Lady storyline took off.
