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 agree. The only way I can see Bob Guza get fired is if the ratings tank even further, like GH placing 5th or 6th in demos, and that is why I'm rooting for GH to tank. I want a new HW.

    • I agree. For now. I am sure in a year's time...a new family (or old) will start to appear on the show. 
    • There's some irony in Philip being forgiven, because it forces everyone to admit that Victor was wrong to change his will.  Everyone, eventually including Xander, (I presume), seems to think it was wrong for Victor to divide his estate in Xander's favor.  I appreciated Stephanie forgiving Philip, because she's got no skin in that game.  But, Belle's line about Philip missing Xander because he misses Bo did not ring true.  I think Philip would be sad if Bo dies, but I think he's more concerned currently about Xander. I am enjoying this EJ mystery so much that I am hereby taking a vow not to read spoilers.  I am also vowing — for the last time — to stop harping on this, but: the concept of a “sepsis treatment” remains absurd. Hospitals prevent sepsis through vigilant infection control; once sepsis sets in, it causes multiple organ failures. Treatment involves supporting each failing organ individually. The notion that a single medication could magically reverse organ failure is medically laughable. However, I like the contrast of Kim going through cancer, which is incurable in their universe.  Kayla's comment on the health of both of her siblings was both heartbreaking and an interesting twist.  MBE is also totally underrated.  She is carrying the weight of so many stories.   And, I like the use of Kayla as an audience surrogate.  She's arguably the most "real" person in Salem. Kayla isn't psychic, she wasn't SORASed, she's not a billionaire, and she doesn't have a bionic eye.  So, I enjoy that we get her perspective of the nuttiness that surrounds her. However, I don't get what gives her the authority to turn down EJ's offer.  I understand that they need a hospital figurehead to show us scenes of the competition to buy the hospital.  But, unless the entire administration has been let go, the Chief of Staff wouldn't make those choices.
    • But why worry about something that might not happen? Right now, most things revolve around the Duprees. We have no idea if or how long that will continue. For now, it's working.
    • The Duprees not having any staff is a bugbear for me. They've included the background staff at the Country Club but no one at the Dupree home. Even just an extra bringing in a tray of food/drinks or responding to a request from Anita would suffice.
    • Shut up, Dante and Lois.  I actually don't mind this particular soap trope, but in the context of this storyline, it just feels forced and unnecessary. If anything, this Dante/Gio tension needed to begin months ago. Plus, this storyline, in general, isn't doing Lois any favors either.  Emma comforting Gio was really sweet though. It's definitely time for the two of them to have their first kiss. And, Joss playing Secret Agent Barbie will just never work.
    • Note to makeup - Smitty’s eyebrows, bad clamshell look.

    • Okay I can buy that when Brook Lynn was a teen.  Now she knows the child is a boy one would think she'd be slightly suspicious.  Then again, Gio looks nothing like either of them so maybe not lol.
    • I've been behind & just got caught up & the last 3 days were amazing!
