S-H-I-T! Those ratings are horrible across the board! :o

Glad B&B held steady though, they deserved it!

I believe Y&R ties its low with this rating, it hit 3.9 before, I think it was August. How sad is it that 3 soaps tie for #5 spot? I guess this is more reason why Latham won't be back after the strike ends. :)

Wow , well all the soaps look pretty dismal from these ratings. GL lost me with the Josh/Cassie pairing, the Ashlee and Coop debacle, the Reva stuff, DOOL started to get me back until I saw all the Colleen/Santo stuff so now I only watch OLTL

so I can only comment on that one

i know that last week I found the show boring( last week) in comparison to the week prior and to this week, It was just way too much of Marty and Cole and John and Lee in Ireland ( I just didn't care that entire plot line came out of no where, there was no build up at all for me to care) The Buchanan Texas stuff went on way too long for me for a will reading it turned into 4 weeks lol) I do not have any interest in Jared and what he is doing to Renee, Nigel and Nat is just making it worse for me.

This week though I found myself watching most of the show so I do see why last week was so low for oltl(although to be honest I don't think it matters what any of the soaps are doing right now, these ratings just seem to be what they are and I really do just think it is the genre)

I don't watch all of Days, but there is enough of it that it good that I still tune in. OLTL is great for the people who are watching it. I'm not one of them, but the folks who watch it love it. It became a waste of my time and I had watched it for year. It's one of those shows that has decided it won't write something for everyone and instead write for a few who are vocal.

Y&R is really disappointing. I keep it on the DVR, but it's only worth spending about 30 minutes a week on.

One of the pleasures of this thread is the picture of Cristian Bales on Lskreet's post.

I wouldn't say OLTL just decided to write for a few vocal ones: it was ignoring many fans, even vocal ones, for years. Now that they are paying some attention to those fans (Viki gets a love interest after almost seven years. Nora gets a new love interest and moderate screen time.) they are alienating newer viewers. Evangeline is gone, and Layla is barely connected to anyone on canvas. It can be even harder on the Tangeline fans to see Todd and Blair round 5000. Even hardcore John fans are less than thrilled with his intended pairing. Fans who enjoyed Margaret or Spencer are finding the new stories slow to start and rather dull.

    • 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.
