Primetime ratings are done in 2 ways. The fast ratings (aka fast national) and the final ratings. Sometimes the fast ratings are higher than the actual rating. Also, primetime doesn't have a week's worth to calculate and break down. And demos for primetime don't come out overnight. You get more in-depth information for primetime towards the weekend.

This was a horrible week, except for GH and AMC. Every other soap lost viewers. Days had no competition on Friday, yet it only gets a 1.9 (though it isn't counted), hell a 2.0 would've been more reasonable. All soaps appear to be down for last year as well. Hopefully, next week is better since there was no major holiday this week.

Could be worse. This actually isn't bad, really.

Days getting a 1.9 on that Friday episode is actually good IMO. It means they actually held an audience. I mean, they are around a 2.0 right now so it shows most of the audience tuned in. I was expecting much less for that day and that is usually the case. I am glad they stayed the same. I worried about this week for Days and all the soaps. I think that rise at the end of last week actually helped Days in a way.

Here's hoping for increases next week. This isn't that bad though.

GH deserved it's 2.6 rating. Last week, they had 3 very, very good days, and it paid off for them. I hope someone at ABC realizes who the hell was on during those three days.....and know that we want more!

DAYS....it's gonna take more consistency before they move higher in the ratings. Better they hold onto the audience they have now and slowly build. I can see now that DAYS, GL and AMC will be fighting for the #6 & #7 spot for a while.

I agree, Ryan.

I do think if this continues in December and January, Days will see some good gains with the holidays and all. They usually do well during that period.

I did catch GH last week and it was deserving of a gain. I don't know if it deserves a 2.6 rating but it deserved a gain so it is what it is. I just don't like the story and I hated the stunt this month.

I think AMC benefited big time from Celine Dion and I hope B&B is rewarded in the ratings next week because the Stephanie story deserves it.

ATWT's ratings suck! But I guess I shouldnt be surprised after a big last week. I sure miss those 2.5 and 2.4's.

I couldnt believe AMC went up. It totally sucks. And IMO should be the #7 soap ahead of GL. But I forgot Celine Dion was on. That must be the reason for the rise in ratings.

Of course Days messed it up by putting a good episode on a Friday. But eh...they will never learn.

Ugh at OLTL ahead of ATWT. I dont think OLTL is that great! JMO of course. :lol:

And Gl totally sucks. So it deserves to be dead last.

I can't say I'm disappointed with the ratings Y&R is getting. Please let these sweeps numbers be the final nail in LML's hideous, plot driven coffin!

B&B is not getting the numbers it deserves. It is on fire! I think it really demonstrates that when Y&R suffers all CBS soaps suffer.

The ABC soaps...meh...for sweeps the numbers are not impressive at all.

DAYS is going to take a lot of time, consistency and promotion to gain viewers. I hope it gets that time.

    • 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.
