I am grateful that all the soaps went up, a trend that hopefully will continue. I actually gave AMC a look today and I actually enjoyed it. I have a weakness for the underdog and since AMC has been last in total viewers two weeks in a row I couldn't resist. The soaps usually go up around the holidays and hopefully that will follow in the coming weeks with viewers enjoying what they are seeing and they stick around.

I'm sure seeing Sami rush home to cuddle with Lucas while her rapist lay dying (such a shame that they let the jerk live) brought those ratings up. Too bad they lost in the only demographic they actually care about though. Days needs to put a stop to all of the disgusting rapist storylines (ejami & stepford) if they ever hope to stop bleeding viewers.

Wow...numbers arent too bad. Except for Wednesday. And dont these numbers average a 2.4? :lol: Carly's and Jack's wedding the highest on Monday. Rosanna switching the paternity tests on Friday did well also. It seemed people tuned out a bit on Tuesday after realizing Carjack werent getting married.

If this week is any indication, no wonder LML hopefully, finally, got fired. A strong week tanked the very next day, and stayed that way for the rest of the week.

And then it ends with a 3.8?!

Will look forward to all the interviews from the actors blasting her writing, which is certain to come out when this news hoepfully is verified.

I'm just thrilled that Days didn't drop below 2.0 for that entire week. Monday was pretty good...it was a follow-up to Friday's cliffhanger. Veterans Day might have helped Days, but it didn't seem to do anything for AMC. GL also got their highest rating for the week on Monday. Days might have lost some in demos, but they are still 3rd in 18-49 and tied for first in 18-34. I'm happy!

As much as I am really enjoying B&B, I am not completely surprised the ratings didn't jump more. I like most everything about the show but I think that Donna and Eric together is just gross. I wonder if they are keeping some viewers away. I would love to see them break-up (very quickly) and Stephanie be involved with another man. Let Eric have to work to get Stephanie back!! Otherwise, I am enjoying the quality of writing, the pacing of the show, and the use of the cast.

And AMC continues to suck!!! :D

    • 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.
