Maybe you will. Maybe the people who watched the show for anyone but Viki, Natalie and the newbies will get along fine too. I think those people obviously have found a way already to live without you. Frankly, I think a good part of the world lives daily without OLTL and even a larger number lives without your smartass remarks.

There is no reason why the show couldn't write for a lot of fans rather than just a few. However, OLTL chooses not to do that and fanbases, all of them, seem perfectly contented. As a result, these ratings will be the norm not the exception as people tune in or out whenever there is some reason for them to watch the show.

I'm not at all sad about GH's numbers...still better than ATWT and the others and thats all that matters. Plus it looks like Friday's rating is what really brought the ratings to a 2.5 overall.

As for OLTL I stopped watching once Evangeline left. Sorry but Todd and Blair are like CarJack on ATWT...painful to watch and a textbook definition of forced love.

Anyways it seems like the ratings this week are good material for the usual "gloom and doom" crowd so enjoy!

Yep that is the true tragedy to Y&R: if it suffers all of CBS Daytime suffers. This has just got to be the nail in that plot driven bitches coffin! CBS, Sony, Bell-Phillip Television, Anyone who cares....please fire this hack, her husband, her prime time pals and anyone else associated with her and bring the old creative team back!

Interestingly, however, B&B has held steady and those demos, what a difference a year (and a splash of Kay Alden!) makes!

Glad to see GH take a hit. Yes, I'm still bitter about Jackie Zeman's demotion. I always will be. OLTL and AMC are hitting the skids, GL is only a hundred thousand viewers off them!

But look at DAYS, a positive week to be sure. Everything has improved (as so it should, the show has improved as well)

Good numbers for Days all around but wow to the rest. Y&R is crashing now and I feel so horrible for OLTL. They have improved so much and I hope they don't panic or that ABC doesn't do something to screw this up. The numbers overall suck but kudos to Days on the gain. Things are looking up there.

My hope is that the two Marlena days will help this week and the fact that the sorority story had major movement. I mean, last week the numbers were good all week and there was veteran presence all week. This week has seen that too overall so my hope is Days can at least get a 2.0. Steve is right though. Soaps are an ensemble and, if anything else, if the show is good and provides things happening, it will probably see a gain or maintain and Days did that last week. It hasn't been a bad week but the Lucas/Sami/EJ [!@#$%^&*] is once again bringing down the whole show.

:PHappy dance for DAYS ratings! Congratulations!!!

:o Y&R....

:lol:GENERAL HOSPITAL STINKS AND SOOOOOOOOO DESERVES THIS!!

:( OLTL. I wish they were doing better.

:D Congratulations to the Bold and the Beautiful!!! They (mostly) had a good week!

:rolleyes: AMC Still stunned this show has sunk so low. I'm not surprised though. I tune in to the end every few days or once a week and Greenlee and Zack are still in that hole. Why drag that out so long?? <_<

    • 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.
