Little surprised that Y&R didn't do better but the collapse storyline didn't start until Friday so maybe that is why. Congrats to B&B and Days for being the only soaps to rise!! Both had really good weeks and are becoming the shows to watch, IMHO.

And congrats to AMC for continuing to suck!! :lol: McTavish might was well have stayed on the show because B&E are continuing down the same path she was on. I wonder if Frons is going to fire them if sweeps goes badly, not that it will make any difference. Maybe Carruthers needs to be replaced too. Something needs to be done or else AMC will be tied with Days for last place. With ABC's declining daytime line-up, maybe Frons will be fired soon. One can only hope that he would get replaced with someone with half a brain who really cares about the genre.

The daily ratings are rounded to one decimal place but when figuring the ratings for the week they are not rounded. For example M-F of last week, GL could have gotten 1.75, 1.95, 1.95, 2.15 and 1.75 which equates to a rating of 1.91.

I really hope that the CBS soaps continue to remain strong or even rise. It will certainly be a positive sign for soaps proving that they continue to do fairly well. I wonder if a lot of the ABC audience is switching over to CBS like I have. And if ABC soaps continue to decline while CBS rises, then Frons would have to be replaced. If ABC starts to focus on vets and quality writing, maybe their ratings will start to go back up and they can regain some of the audience that they have lost.

I would think that if ATWT continues to do well and stays in third/fourth place, it will have an extremely good chance at being renewed another year.

Okay...maybe I'm stupid, but still confused.

Why does DAYS get to round up and GL does not get to round up? Either way GL still had more viewers for the week, but according to my math both DAYS & GL had a 1.96 for the week. Why does DAYS rating read 2.0 and GL's a 1.9? I'm confused!

I am ecstatic about B&B. It's great they hit a 3.0 again. Y&R should go up with the Out of the Ashes event, but with the Southern California fires who know's what next week will look like. ABCD had a terrible week. ATWT only had Luke and Noah on once last week so I barely watched. Also, as pissed off as I am with Days I am happy for the increase and the fans of the show I know will be delighted by that.

all those ratings suck, pretty bad that days of our lives is only 3 away from 3rd place and they are next to last. If days can continue this, they would get up there.

one thing MORE NICK AND CHELSEA.

    • 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.
