I know, I'll never get that either. I know for a fact that so so many of the Lumi-fans aren't watching because Lucas is hardly on (they missed some great scenes with him just because they're being stupid) ... Lumi have been on almost every day for the longest time now and suddenly when he's gonna be off air for a while they refuse to watch the show. If it where me I'd be very careful doing things like that since the show might be cancelled and then no one will be able to watch.

Agreed. I think of the Guiding Light fanbases, and boy, did they scare the sh!t out of me! And I can see DAYS and all of their crazy fanbases as well. I've never been a huge extreme supercouple fan. As long as I have my bad bitches, then I'm a happy viewer! I was a member for a message board awhile back and I got all of these crazy ass personal messages and they were from people who had their own personal favorite supercouple. One woman wrote, "Can you believe _________ likes E.J. when E.J. raped Sami? I would be so embarrassed to be an Ejami fan!" Then I got another woman who said this, "____________ thinks she has a really hot Lumi avatar, but I'll prove her wrong! Ejami is totally hot they sizzle on the screen!" Believe me, I had even stranger pm's, but I finally said "Peace out!" and I haven't been back since.

yeah - i really do think thats why Y&R and B&B have stayed at the top - there fan bases are victor vs jack and brooke vs stephanie - and thats always going on! as long as they have the basics most of the fans are happy. Y&R's ratins didnt tank til the show sucked all around - and even then it hasnt tanked that bad.

to some extent thats why i would say GH has also been able to stay in the top 4-5. it has crazzy fan bases, however they still pretty much watch. it main reason for the drop is how it all around sucks now.

however Days, GL, and AMC fans are just insane with the fanbase wars - and look at them all fall to the bottom.

OLTL's drop was due to the show sucking all around. thats why it can also come back, IMHO.

ITA with all of you who say that fanbases are some of the biggest contributors to DAYS and daytime's decline. Fans get so fixated on a certain couple or character that they lose interest in the show as a whole.

Again, Y&R and B&B have generally avoided this, the shows are more ensemble based and so they haven't really fallen prey to the fanbase phenomenon. I hope it stays that way!

GH is terrible right now, the numbers it gets boggles the mind, AMC is a disaster and OLTL is sandwiched inbetween the two (it's also overrated in my view).

GL is pulling in terrible numbers, hopefully the new filming will shake things up a bit. ATWT is doing quite nicely, Jean Passante should still have a job after this strike is over even though she's a royal cow.

DAYS, essentially, is screwed. Not having a sister soap has really hurt the show and it doesn't help that NBC doesn't seem committed to promoting the show at all.

The Bell soaps are holding generally steady because they've both improved a lot in the last few weeks. Hopefully LML has been permanently ousted, my heart would break if that plot driven bitch sailed back into Y&R after the strike.

Glad to see ONE LIFE up in the ratings. ATWT viewers come to ONE LIFE, it beats the hell out of ATWT! Plus ONE LIFE doesn't kick off or force off very popular actors like Cady McClain, Grayson McCouch, Jesse Lee Soffer, Jennifer Landon & Scott Bryce.

I don't get the doom & gloom about DAYS. DAYS is in 5th place dammitt. DAYS is doing great right now, the ratings dropped from last week, but such is the soap biz. I agree DAYS should be ahead of GH, Y&R and ATWT (ONE LIFE should be as well).

AMC should be jumping in the ratings. I've started watching AMC again this week and am pleased of how AMC seems to be on the upswing. Love Angie & the Real Greenlee's return. Also shocking myself in liking Krystal with Tad?!!! WTF? I cannot stand NuBabe, also am distracted by Jacob Young's long hair, and still not much of a Annie fan, or Leven Rambin fan, also am irriatated by Richie. Right Richie off, as well as Annie, cut Jacob's hair, and re-cast Babe or bring back Alexa Havins!

    • 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.  
    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 Loved her. I've never seen her Doctors work. 
    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 I just loved Valerie on my early '90s TV shows. This one gets me. 
    • I assume they did at some point during the finale...
    • Kelly was a horribly-written character overall. Just think, two Emmy-winning actresses (including Cynthia Watros, Nina, GH, and Annie, GL) couldn't make it work. Pamela is campy, but so are Dani, Vanessa, Leslie, and Joey. And, I don't want to be too judgy because my love for camp changes depending on the show. OLTL, DAYS, and some eras of GH had me rolling with the camp. However, Passions was overkill and I hated it. And, here, I can take it or leave it. It's ok in small doses (note to RC). I see this show as more of a serious drama.
