Why are DAYS' ratings so low? Simple. The stories stink, the actors (well, not ALL the actors) are worse, and the wrong characters are on the front burner.

Any more questions?

The ratings are in the toilet because the Demons that be can't seem to ever get their act together and get their head of their...well. But Ed Scott's certainly made it smell better than usual :lol: Soaps can not succeed with narrow focus. That's not what the audience was built on. Now, while this past week may have been gold, I certainly haven't been singing praises for a while now. The stories have just been BAD, IMO. Insulting to long-term audience. A half-assed bone of history once a week doesn't equate doing your homework. Hogan needs a Sheri Anderson type co-head. Someone to reel him in. All this, and I still prefer him over Reilly. But what can I say, I've got a Democratic way of thinking. A better writer doesn't make a great show unless he actually looks like he's trying.

sorry i disagree, james Scott is the greatest Actor in the world and Steve Burton is a close second. Both have amazing chemistry with their leading ladys.

James Scott has fantastic chemistry with Allison Sweeney,they sizzle on screen.

and Jason Morgan has amazing chemistry with Rebecca Herbst(Liz) and Kelly Monaco(Sam McCall)

The ratings are low because I feel the slow movement in the EJami story ESPECIALLY when they are on all the time and the show focused around them. The younger set probably factors into it a little, but barely now since they aren't on too much anymore and they have good portrayers for the most part(except Jett but he's been backburned thank the heavens).

However....the ratings have been falling for years. And I mean *years*. So many people have contributed to it, especially Ken Corday. Honestly as rocking as the eighties were that's when it all started, when suddenly Bo, Hope, and the new characters(who are considered vets now) were shoved to the frontburner and we never saw people like Doug and Julie in stories. Marlena was obviously a fan favorite, but I know fans were even upset back then about Bope and such.

That was when it all began, IMO. I enjoyed the eighties except I am not a huge fan of Bo and Hope but still I think it all started then. It just continued on to fall as the nineties approached, I think even though alot tuned in alot tuned out with Reilly. He changed Days, even though I did like his first run, but the problem was going on before him, IMO. He only made it more noticable. And then it just got even WORSE with Langan several years after Reilly quit, when the Saved by the Bell crap happened.

Then later on Higley happened which just made things horrible, and Reilly's second run. Then Hogan came and later on the vets were backburned, and were not in stories and are not.

Its just a combination of what has happened for the past 20+ years, it's been taking it's toll for a long time and now the huge toll has finally been taken.

    • Beverlee was on a whole other level from Kim. It's not like they were in competition with each other. I get the feeling that Kim had a slight problem with the super-professional, serious cast members who just wanted everyone to be prepared and do the work, as she seems to like having fun on set. (She's made a few cracks about Chris Bernau being like that). Bev was definitely one of those. But they didn't work together that much. Yeah, not only didn't they make her manic, but much weaker. She always had a vulnerability, but wanting to kill herself over that guy? No way. Not only that, he didn't leave her! She insisted he marry Maeve. When they did the tribute to Bert/Charita, the compilation of scenes with her showed how much the cast had been completely decimated. Almost every shot was of her by herself because nearly everyone she had worked with had been fired, left or been replaced.

    • A little too much focus on Chad and Cat today but I enjoyed the episode. I have a feeling that Jennifer’s gonna get dumped on though, even though I think that her anger is completely understandable and justified. And honestly, Ron is finally gone; Abigail can come back now.  But, welcome back, Anna! It was nice seeing Carrie have scenes with her mother. Christie Clark and Leann Hunley have never really had that many scenes together and to see them have them now is really nice. I’m glad that both of them were there to comfort Marlena too. Their words were definitely the thing that Marlena needed to hear. Btw, with all this talk of Noah, does it mean that he’s gonna be introduced soon? Amy, revealing that John changed her flat tire many years ago seemed a little random though. I would rather she have said something about how everybody in Salem knows of John Black because of how he was always such a hero. But at the same time, her story also showed what a great guy John was.  I liked Kate’s scenes with Philip too, and her promise to get back at Xander for what he did. And since we didn’t see JPL in the bed, did he need some time off or something? And yeah, everything involving ‘One Stormy Night’ still seems very Ron-like to me.
    • The second photo featuring the late John Spencer is from the Law & Order episode, "Prescription For Death", which was the (second) pilot/first episode all the way back in 1990! He played the father of a daughter that had gone to the ER for a mere sore throat but ended up dead because the doctor on call was drunk and had given her medication that she had an adverse reaction to, after receiving some other medication. So, he will always have that great distinction in addition to The West Wing. (The first pilot, "Everybody's Favorite Bagman", was filmed in 1988! The show was offered to CBS, but they passed. In syndication, it is oddly placed as the sixth episode of Season 1. And Roy Thinnes played DA Alfred Wentworth there. When NBC picked up the show two years later, Thinnes declined to return, and that's how we got Steven Hill's DA Adam Schiff.)
    • exactly. I can understand schadenfreude if it were real, but a lot of this is just an engineered distraction.
    • Days of our Lives S60E204 – Thursday, June 5, 2025 Okay, today’s episode was kind of boring. It was nice seeing Jack and Jen back, but they wasted an entire episode on Jen chatting with Julie - one scene would’ve been enough. Also, why didn’t Jack and Jen go comfort Marlena? And wouldn’t a flashback with Jack, Jen, and John have been great? Maybe something from the Cruise of Deception era? Bottom line - it feels like once John’s memorial is over and the returning fan favorites leave Salem… the show’s going to be dull again.
    • Everything with Elon and Trump is a stunt. If people, and the sycophantic press, are talking about their "feud," they are not talking about Republican plans to gut Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA. 
    • I can't fully remember, but I don't think they tried to get Beth Chamberlin back. I think Laibson/McTavish likely saw Beth as old news and wanted to move Philip on; either that or have her return only when Philip was closely tied to a new woman. Thanks as always for these recaps. I think I had stopped watching around this time and mostly kept up by reading in the soap magazines. Bridget's degradation was horrible to watch, as the character had grown so much over the years and was clearly regressed just to be a foil for a "hot" couple viewers had zero investment in. 
    • Having the majority of the cast on those low numbers is no way to tell story. And just 2 dayplayers for the month. So sad for the #1 soap.  
    • I believe it was. And this is actually one of the cases where I wouldn’t mind some dumb soap opera bringing back from the dead. They gave Mishael, Amanda, with all of Hilary’s connections but none of the personality except for fleeting moments. Hilary absolutely should’ve just left town. They decided to kill her and the baby. Just baffling,
