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!

    • Of the so-called "contract" cast members, I'd venture to say these are recurring: Bryton James, Camryn Grimes, and (possibly) Michael Graziadei.  I've suspected since 2018 that Kate Linder and Christian LeBlanc are recurring.  And I believe we all know Miss Ordway is, because she said so. lol.  
    • Dante blaming Gio instead of his dweeb son and the other dweeb was just ridiculous. Gio's paternity story is going in circles with no reveal. I've already started fast forwarding Drew and his stupid ho Willow's story. Kristina's story is beyond dumb with no great payoff.
    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
