Georgie Jones' death and funeral was on General Hospital that week. Kristina Wagner (Felicia Jones, Georgie's mother) returned. I wonder if the viewers tuned in for this? I guess we'll find out in the next week or two.

Ummm.....okay......LOL What does DAYS have to do with my comments about GH? Are you using that elementary school tactic: since you bashed my show, I'll bash your show. :huh: Well, I have to admit, you have succeeded. It felt like I was (to quote Bon Jovi) shot through the heart. :(

Wouldn't the total viewers be more than just the household rating times the # of households per ratings point? That would give you the total # of households but not the total # of viewers.

For example:

1966-1967--6,832,600 viewers; Household Ratings 12.7 ranked #1 out of 14 soaps

I thought ATWT had more viewers than this back then. I could buy 6.8 million households.

Don't feel bad. Hasn't Days been going down since the President of the network said it probably wouldn't be renewed in 2009? Anyway, GH was at 2.2 last week, so it's not like they are really out performing Days by much at all. Even though I think GH sucks right now I can't take joy in the shows downfall. I don't want to see it off the air, I just want to see a new writer get a chance.

I think what may be the conflict is when people, who admit they don't watch the show at all, say that it sucks and desevres the ratinsg it gets.

As far as I'm concerned, bash the show all you want. But, at least watch it somewhat so you know what is going on beofre you do it. :)

ok wait a minute. are you actually comparing DOOL to GH? what is this..GH is out performing DOOL in every aspect of the show. not only is DOOL...well dull. but the cheesiness of every single character on the show is not appealing..it's what makes GH cool. the soap is none cheesy. not to mention we have badasses that make Stefano look like Santa clause...compared to GH villains. and the characters..GH dominates DOOL.

It's not just DAYS fans. It's some soap fans in general. God forbid you think a show is bad/sucks/could be better, you're automatically deemed a basher/hater/fan of one of the lower rated soaps because you're jealous that "our" soap is "better". It's ridiculous.

One can say they don't like GH because of what's going on. You're then labeled "anti-couple/character/actor" and accused of never being able to say anything positive about the show. You hope the ratings are low because in theory, that would signify a change. You're then mocked and taunted when the ratings aren't low like you hoped. It's like that on many boards, especially SON. You can think what you want of a show, without taking anything away from someone else, but there are some who aren't mature enough to understand that. All you have to do is go back and read some of the comments in this thread to see what I'm talking about.

    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
    • Its realistic for Dani and  true of how the character thinks and operates. We've known her long enough to by that this would be consistent with her past characterizatioin
    • Random takes: - What was even the point of that jeweler guy? Also—Dani was borderline harassing him. - I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I want Jacob and Kat to happen. I need something messy to completely dismantle the Duprees—and Katomas just isn’t cutting it.  - I officially can’t stand Jacob and his wife. Same goes for Anita and Vernon. - Hayley’s corset was just as ugly as it looked uncomfortable. - I genuinely don’t remember when or how Derek and Ashley reconciled—and I’m someone who didn’t even mind their storyline! LMAO. - Tuesday’s episode was a mess. - Dani finding out about Hayley’s pregnancy and immediately thinking, “She’s faking it”—huh?! What writer thought that was a realistic reaction? I get denial, but that leap was absurd. I agree the ‘Leslie Victorious’ moment was way OTT. But hey, at least I wasn’t yawning. The following episode, where she handed over her daughter’s last few belongings was much better. - I can’t with the constant back-and-forth between Orphey Gene’s and the Country Club. I forgot this was such a soap trope, but even back in my loyal viewer days (late ‘90s, early 2000s), it wasn’t this bad. While GH has a ton of beautiful sets, we’re stuck with the same three—and half of them are ugly. Also: it’s been way too long since we had a party, gala, or any kind of event. I know the Richardsons’ anniversary gala (back in late April) has had a big ripple effect, but I was kinda getting used to those large-scale episodes. Fingers crossed they don’t go with Guza.  
    • The horrific comments execs and writers make when they justify rape storylines or keeping rapists as love interests is just so icky. I remember Ron Carlivati's comments about the reraping of Marty storyline on OLTL. Made my skin crawl.  No matter what you think of her, Susan Lucci could have demanded front burner storylines but she never did. She was happy to be part of an ensemble. I never got that vibe from Zimmer.  For me, Reva was just not a character I cared that much about after a certain point no matter how talented Zimmer is/was. I think Zimmer had a keener eye for what made a good storyline, but she was less willing to take a backseat if it meant someone else got to shine. I'm trying to recall if she ever mentions Michelle Forbes in her book--one of the few times the viewers did not care about Reva in a storyline. My sense is if she did, it was probably some backhanded remark about how she had to show Forbes the ropes.    
    • GH was good? I havent watched since Joss went away to do her traininig and Lulu had just called Brooklyn out for having Dante's baby and not telling him
    • BTG: A-  DAYS: B+  Eastenders: C
    • There was a rumor that Jean will die and that’s probably why she’s back then
