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.

    • 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.
