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.

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.

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.

Well congrats to OLTL. It's well deserved.

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.

I'll never get the DAYS fanbases, I just went over to the SONY board and saw that Kenny posted the ratings and some idiot (who obviously doesn't like J&M) said "J&M obviously aren't the draw that they once were."

The fanbases are the ones killing this show, if their favorite couple or characters aren't featured, they'll refuse to tune in.

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

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.

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.

January 17, 200817 yr

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.

DAYS

So The rating for Days has to be 2.2+2.1+2.1+2.3+2.3=2.2

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.

January 18, 200817 yr

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.

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 :lol: .

I agree. One of my initial complaints... and they are still doing it too much... Lazy writing.

By Maxim · 9 minutes ago9 min

There is something to Donna Mills in the same regard. Especially as Abby got more and more power for herself, she played her calmer and calmer as the years progressed. Abby is still calculating, but I can’t think of many times any of the three of them went full Valene or Karen. And I love those ladies, don’t get me wrong. But Joan Van Ark can be very histrionic and mannered, and Michele Lee is very soapy in the traditional sense.
The year after Sid died, before Mac arrived, Lee does a lot of quiet, beautiful acting in several episodes. But she can go balls out and did quite often. The whole Chip/Diana story is when it gets really noticeable to me. That run she does to find Diana has left at the end of season 4 is almost comical in her mannerisms and she doesn’t say a word.

The storyline with Madison feeling unsupported by Chelsea with her mom is actually interesting because it's different and topical without being overly political, but maybe it would have been nice to like, show it? They are getting to be like Y&R, too much narrating. We should be seeing the dynamics of dinner with her mom instead of being told. It could be done at a restaurant if creating a house set is an issue.

I can't find the book in Canada - Amazon and Indigo/Chapters doesn't have it, and google didn't help.

I just finished the book! overall it was a pretty good read...definitely more told of the POV and research of a fan which isn't a bad thing (going by JT Cornell is actually clever and hilarious!) and kind of more of a year by year recap of what happen on the show with little anecdotes thrown in. I definitely would love to hear more BTS stuff about certain stories and more of the actors words when it came to doing certain scenes and trying to make sense of the some of the more out there stories. It was good to learn a bit more about JER though. For as crazy as his storytelling was, it seemed everyone in the industry respected his ideas he bestowed upon daytime.

That was crazy to find out how affected Rodney Van Johnson really was at playing the "angry black man" and how he got PO'd at Chris Maleki's Spike for throwing fake punches at him ( I don't recall them fighting on the show though) That's scary he had to really wind down after filming to get all the anger out.
All the love for Ben Masters and the cast not knowing what was really going on with him before his death made me tear up a bit. I didn't realize how much he was involved in Tracy Ross's kids life too!

They even have quite a few paragraphs devoted to the the music having to be replaced on the SCI Fi and Superchannel rebroadcasts which is of course what I always complain about too! LOL That's why I always want to see the original broadcast 1999-2001 episodes pop up more where the music isn't messed with.

It's funny, YouTube took me on a nostalgia trip rediscovering things from the early 2000s that I loved recently and I realized from adult eyes the same thing. I think for Passions it's probably the nostalgia factor, those 12-17 year olds are now in their 30s/40s reliving that time. Hard to know if I'd been as into it as an adult, but as a kid for whatever reason me an my friends were obsessed haha

Grant came first and Ryan followed, then Spencer, and eventually Kelsey. I really wanted to like Kelsey but Kaitlin Hopkins in the role rubbed me the wrong way.
It took some time for it to turn out that Ryan was Carl's biological son. If they had used Perry as Vicky's True Love maybe things would have swung the other way and Perry would have found out that he was Spencer's biological son, thus backing into the rivalry with Grant and ensuing triangle.

MTS has said that Victor/Nikki were an accident pairing and it was Bill Bell that saw the connection between her and EB before they themselves did. The audience clearly saw the connection too, since the My Fair Lady storyline took off.
