I still wish they would put the rating for SoapNet with these

because Y&R/Days/and all of the ABC-Soap's are on there.

[DrewH]

I'm not going to get upset over these ratings. I want to wait until next week to see how it goes first. This would be the week where everyone returned to work and school, and most of the soaps dropped, so it's not just DAYS. That's one positive way to think of it.

This was just as good as last week, if not better for me. You had John and Marlena's reunion, Belle and Claire's abduction, the stand-off on the pier, etc. It was action, non-stop. Hopefully, the ratings will go up next week.

DAYS deserves better numbers. But like others have said, TPTB may have just waited too long to make these changes, that have iimproved the show greatly, but unfortunately, no one's here to watch them. Just look at OLTL. That show is on fire right now, and it's worse than DAYS, number wise.

[MikeGoldy]

I'm not sure this is such a bad thing. They clearly got a rise last week, because people were home for the holidays. It's going to take awhile for the ratings to move up more; if the ratings go DOWN during Feb sweeps, then there is trouble. And, i wouldn't pay attention to what people say on soapcity; no one couple will ever bring ratings up, and what people want on a soap message board, is completely different from the average soap fan wants.

[MichaelGL]

Well congrats to OLTL. It's well deserved.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Congrats to OLTL being the only soap to rise in total viewers, even though I'm starting to find the show highly overrated at the moment.

[dawn9476]

That is how it has been at GH for years. It's nothing new.

[SoapQueen89]

I don't know why people are surprised with the drop in ratings for Days or any other show. It was a hoiday week, people were home from work and watching TV. Now they are back to work and not at home during the day. And??? It's nothing to be surprised or to worry about. Geesh.

[Soapsuds]

Yeah, the ratings are bad. But I expected them to be. Next week the soaps should rebound. MLK week ratings are usually high ones. I still can't believe GH is #3. The show is so bad right now.

[PhoenixRising05]

Well, I think Days and other soaps will recover next week. Then there is also the MLK holiday coming up too, which is always a good day for all.

The good thing for Days is, like others have pointed out, they still are much better in total viewers then they were a month ago and the demos are stronger as well. plus, the dailies aren't lower then a 2.1, which is nice considering where they were in the summer. It took a few months for Days to bottom out at 1.8 so it's going to take a bit to get back viewers. They are already better off in many regards and, like others said, next week is a bit more critical as people will be settled in and all so hopefully we see better then. I get the sense we will.

Congrats to OLTL though. Well deserved.

[beachbum]

Yeah Go GH at #3 again where it belongs!!!!

Just so you know, it is my understanding that those numbers are not rounded up until after they are figured. For example, it could have been 2.16 or 2.23. The numbers are not rounded to the nearest tenth until they are released.

[maconrich]

I can't see the drop for Days being due to any fanbase. John's return wasn't promoted that much and they actually put him on sooner than I thought they would -- and they're giving J&M scenes sooner than I expected too. lucas was on last week so whatever fans he has actually had some halfway decent scenes to watch. The holiday week makes more sense since the drop really wasn't huge. Hopefully as word keeps getting out that the show is good people will find their way back -- and hopefully the show will *stay* good and hold onto the viewers.

[PhoenixRising05]

I have been checking out the ratings archives just to see how far Days has come and it's pretty noticeable, especially in total viewers and dailies. This shows the growth Days has had since early September, as well as it's nice rebound from the time slot switch and a drop after John's death aftermath. It starts with the numbers for the week of Sept. 3-7, 2007 and ends with this current week. It proves Days is doing quite well and that it's on the right track at least to rebuilding it's audience. I know this is long but it's interesting, at least to me .
