I'm just thrilled that Y&R's ratings haven't changed one iota sans LML. B&B is also humming along nicely.

The P&G soaps need help, but they seem to be stuck in a bastion of mediocrity.

DAYS is really screwed. Not having a companion show has really hurt. Now that that 'scab' Higley is there...oh what a mess.

The ABC soaps are also a mess. Look at OLTL and AMC's numbers, just disastrous. The thing with GH is that it's a roller coaster and Sarah Brown might be bringing it up but rest assured it will plummet sooner or later.

WORD Ryan, and Angie's return is pretty much more about Greenlee with Frankie taking a backseat to that. Notice ALL the people hovering around Greenlee's sick bed, while poor Frankie would be lucky to get that.....

They are stories and events are not stories. They should be part of stories. Stories should not go on 8 years. They shouldn't even go on for years and in the current climate all that does is alienate viewers because people like their fast pace now.

The big issue JER had with Passions after it;s first few years and his second run at Days is lack of payoffs. He didn't give the viewers any payoff like he did during his first Days stint when he had Sami exposed in 1996, Bo and Hope reunite and get engaged, etc. If you are going to torture couples, give them a decent amount of happiness or stability in between. He did that most of the time during his stint. He gave us some happiness in between. The final few years of Passions and during most of his Days run it was nothing but doom and gloom all the time.

I will just say I despise Dena Higley with a passion. I really do but the show has not fallen off that much. Other then hot or miss dialogue and being draggy and a little flat at times, the show isn't that bad. Sure, the casting news sucks and hopefully that will be reversed or Shelle will come back but alot of people wanted the vets and they got them. Days is making a stupid decision getting rid of them but that should not be taken out on the rest of the show and just because Higley is writing does not mean everyone has to necessarily hate it. I was around for her Days and OLTL stint and so far this is far from bad. It could be better but it's far from what some are acting like it is.

I just hope it ends soon and Hogan returns but I am ok for the time being as long as the right people are on and in character and as long as I am entertained and it looks like that will be the case based on spoilers.

Noe, back to the ratings, Days didn't really do that bad. Still #5 in total viewers by a good margin and demos weren't bad either other then dropping a .1 behind in 18-34. They are still holding on to alot of the viewers they have gained in the past few months and I hope that continues and grows.

Yeah, it's not bad yet. Give her time. When she first came to OLTL, she ended the Santi storyline and people were praising her, saying that she may have been bad on DAYS, but this is not DAYS, and blah blah blah. It's the first week. Of course she's not going to take the show to hell in the first week. Lets see where the show is at around May if she's still in control.

I have no interest in John, Marlena, and Stefano so they're dragging Days down for me.

On AMC, Angie and Jesse were on the show a long time ago so maybe a lot of people don't even know who they are and thus don't care that much that they're back.

Or maybe it's cause they got like 2-3 days of promotion. Obviously people tuned in, Angie's first full day back was the highest of the week. Jesse was only on that Friday for like 2 seconds, so I'm not surprised that day isn't higher

I'm so perturbed about DAYS which I thought had a great week as far as the writing went, so what gives? I'm surprised that GL went up a .1 notch because the last time Tom Pelphrey came back during the summer, it did absolutely nothing for the ratings at all. When was that? July 2007 perhaps? They'll probably go down next week, but I hope DAYS does better that's for sure.

I don't think viewers necessarily turn into a show the day a favorite actor/character returns, and I'm sure TPTB know that. I'm sure they've done extensive research on this. It's more about a long-term strategy of placing these faves in front burner stories that TPTB hope will gradually draw in viewers as the stories featuring these popular actors build to climaxes. I doubt ABC expected a huge bump in numbers from the 3 big returns (though they did get a slight bump in demos last week), but is instead hoping for some slow steady week-to-week/month-to-month growth with the help of these actors. Numbers rarely change overnight in daytime, and TPTB know that.I think that high number on Monday had more to do with it being a national holiday than with Debbi's return.

Yea to GL's jump. Even it is just by .01 it's better than nothing or a decrease. Jonathan's return must have done something for it.

The viewers of OLTL said the same exact thing when she first started writing that show. I think we all know how that ended of course.

To be honest I kinda like JER's writing, there are certain aspects of his writing that I like. I admit though the man has his flaws though. Obviously the whole Vincent mess was for pure shock and awe. I wouldn't mind a brief return to DAYS if it meant we got to see the show for another year. I don't think Higley will do anything but make matters for DAYS worse.

      GH: Classic Thread

      I don't think he ever gained much traction on GH. He should have stayed with The Doctors. Was Mark just a toned-down version of Nick? Were they basically the same character?

      GH: Classic Thread

      All I can think of is if a lot of big names were leaving around that time she wanted him back as a stopgap, although I have never seen any real evidence that he was popular with GH viewers.

      BTG: November 2025 Discussion Thread

      By skiman12082004 · Posted

      I loved watching Shanice hand Leslie her ass and finally shutting her up. It was so good. I also love Martin & Smitty's family.  Anita has to have some sort of plan giving Leslie the tickets to mail for Winterfest. She has to be setting her up for a fall. It's pretty obvious to me Vernon is not cheating with Sharon. I think Sharon is helping him with his terrible singing voice for Winterfest. I still believe Bill & Dani are endgame but I love Dani & Andre too. I am definitely enjoying this story. And making Hayley a black widow is a nice twist.

      Sorry for the spam. Wasn't sure where to put this, it's from Tony Geary's husband's IG. Tony watching Genie and Maurice on Mo's show.

      This show is really trundling along BTW. When is someone going to show up to slit Beastmaster's throat or crack the whip on metrosexual Sidwell? (BTW, openly presenting this cheery bon vivant as casually bisexual would at least be something vaguely diverting.) At least kill Brennan by year's end. I'm bored.

      She told Vanessa to "DOUBLE her offer" on the Jarvis house.  The Jarvis family accepted the doubled price.  Assuming the house has an appraised value of $2,000,000, she's theoretically paid the Jarvis family $4,000,000 for the house.  The bank would loan Leslie 80% of the appraised value ($1,600,000), and Leslie had to pay the balance with cash at closing --- $2,200,000.  She only had ONE million.  Where the hell did she get the rest?!  And now she's got contractors working on the house all day & half the night.  Who's paying THEM?  I keep thinking all this will crash around her.  Either that or the writers have absolutely no idea the limits of a million dollars.  Sounds like a "lot of money", but it obviously ain't when we look at Leslie's spending since she got that million dollar check in August.

      Vernon is an idiot. Why would he have Sharon in the same hotel that Leslie is staying at?

      Yes, that out of the blue return was odd. Maybe GG found a forgotten clause in the contract he signed when he was wooed to ABC and they were forced to take him back! Like George Reinholt he talked about the contract that promised him primetime roles. But it was loaded in the networks favor. I think it was Gloria Loring that re-signed at Days on the promise of primetime opportunities, but that was all it was- she was put up for guest spots and TV movies but not necessarily guaranteed that she get the role.

      I still am baffled by why Monty brought back stunt hire Gerald Gordon in the early '80s out of nowhere for like a year. I haven't found anyone who can come up with a thing he did in that second stint of note.
