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.

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.

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.

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.

    • It's a joke. If there's a way to put Joss into a WSB spy story that works, I haven't seen it. What they're doing is just ridiculous. Imagine trusting a huge operation to someone who "finished training" a month ago. I think they're trying to make this work by having a college-age agent be a part of the professor's class, etc. It might look acceptable on paper, but it doesn't work when you see it.
    • Monday, after the party, Leslie showed up at the Duprees. Martin was with everyone as they listened to her for a bit. Then Martin said he was needed at home.  Anita and Vernon knew he was upset and they were concerned. Vernon asked "Do you need Titus, or are you okay to drive?"  Martin said he was okay and left to drive himself home. Either Titus is a chauffeur or just some helpful all-around employee.

    • I know the other soaps talk about staff help who we never see (especially Y&R with all those ridiculous "Mrs. Martinez" mentions), but I wanted BTG to do better.
    • @Franko As requested 1976 story summary. I'll be posting it in parts as it is very lengthy  and probably too much to take in at once.  Since 1951 the story of the residents of the town ofRosehill, Love of Life, has revolved around the livesof Vanessa (Van) and Margaret (Meg) Dale and their families. ' Van, now married to Bruce Sterling, finds her husband has become mayor due to the death of the former mayor, Jeff Hart, who was her sister Meg’s husband. Meg offered her son Ben half a million dollars as a wedding gift to marry refined and responsible Betsy Crawford and thus abandon his playboy existence. The offer was so good that Ben married Betsy with alacrity despite the fact that he was already married to Arlene Lovett, a fact very few people knew. Arlene reluctantly agreed to the bigamous marriage on Ben’s assurance that as soon:as he had his hands on the money they would skip town. However, Meg decided Ben needed more time to become responsible for such a large sum of money and has held up the gift. Attorney Jamie Rollins has discovered discrepancies in Ben’s stories concerning his close friendship with Arlene but has been thwarted in his attempts to expose Ben by Ben and Arlene’s successful blackmail retaliation.They drugged him and took suggestive pictures of him in bed with Arlene, which they now threaten to show to Diana Lamont, Jamie’s lover, who is carrying his child. Knowing that Diana’s health and age make carrying this child dangerous to her, Jamie can do nothing. Ben is horrified to discover Betsy is now pregnant, too. Felicia Lamont, married to Diana’s ex-husband, Charles, has been unable to consummate her marriage due to extreme emotional frigidity. Charles has been exceedingly patient, but Felicia’s emotional torment has been increased by the constant harassment of hoodlum/rapist Arnie Logan, whose subtle terror campaign is apparent only to Felicia, thus making her appear to be emotionally unstable. Only Eddie Aleata, Meg’s ex-husband, seems aware of the tortures Felicia is undergoing. Caroline (Cal) Aleata, Meg’s daughter, is becoming romantically involved with Rick Lattimer, formerly married to Bruce’s daughter Barbara, to the dismay of his business partner in the Beaver Ridge Club, who has him earmarked as her latest lover—Cal’s mother, Meg! Realizing that she is an accomplice, albeit unwillingly,in her- husband Ben’s bigamy, Arlene Lovett (Harper) tells attorney Jamie Rollins that she and Ben were once married but divorced before his return to Rosehill. To: prove good faith, Arlene gives Jamie the negatives of compromising pictures of him with Arlene that Ben set up, hoping they could keep Jamie in line by threatening to send them to his wife-to-be, Diana Lamont, who at forty is pregnant for the first time, and thus vulnerable. Jamie finds Diana collapsed on the floor and rushes her to the hospital, where their son is born prematurely. Learning that Diana found a partially burned picture of him and Arlene in bed, Jamie blames himself. The baby, Adam Jonathan. Rollins, has respiratory problems and cannot be saved. Diana feels she has lost everything, recalling the picture as well as the baby. Di and Jamie start to make plans for the future. Then Dr. Albertson informs them that | more tests are necessary, as a shadow appeared on her final X-rays. Exploratory surgery is scheduled, and Diana is shattered to learn later that a hysterectomy was necessary. Ben again asks his mother when she’s going  to give the wedding present (Ben married Betsy Crawford because Meg promised a half million dollars, but she postponed the gift until Christmas, and still hasn’t delivered.) Betsy tells Meg she’s destroying Ben’s manhood by dangling the money in front of him. Learning that Ben is into Ray Slater, a gambler, for six thousand dollars, Meg withdraws her promise of the money. When Ray informs Ben that his loan, with interest, is now up to nine thousand dollars, Ben threatens to go to the police. Ray replies that it’s the money or Ben’s skin, and when Ben tries to slip out of town, he’s badly beaten by collection men and dumped in the snow. Found by two backpackers, Ben is taken to a small hospital with a skull fracture and pneumonia. Meg is stunned to discover that her partner in Beaver Ridge Club, Rick Latimer, whom she considers her private property, is in love with her daughter,Cal. Learning that Cal and Rick are planning a weekend together, Meg arranges an immediate audit of the Beaver Ridge books, keeping Rick in town. Meg’s plot backfires, however, when the audit reveals that Meg wrote the down payment for her next project, the Priestly Estate venture, on the Beaver Ridge construction account. Meg replaces the money, but Rick warns her to stop trying to run his life or he’ll press misappropriation charges. Felicia Lamonte has been harassed by a young hoodlum, Arnie Logan, who has served time for assault and rape. At her painting studio she is again accosted by Logan, and she pulls out her gun, scaring him off. Unable to reach her husband, Charles, she calls Edouard Aleata, who has reinterested her in painting, and he arrives with the police. Charles, finding Eddie there with Felicia, fuels his growing suspicion that there’s something other than friendship between them. Because he’s already jealous, Arnie’s new harassment—notes to Charles that Felicia is unfaithful seem believable. Felicia convinces Charles that a week apart will help their marriage, and in looking over her paintings, she realizes she has grown as a person and feels ready to be a woman. She calls Charles, telling him she no longer wants to be his child virgin bride, but a real wife to him. Later, hearing someone at the door, Felicia assumes it is Charles, and is grabbed by Arnie when she opens it. He drags her downstairs, but she manages to escape and get back to her studio and her gun. Hearing footsteps outside, she fires blindly. Cautiously,she then goes to the door to find Charles lying there. He is rushed to the hospital, where it is discovered that the bullet is lodged in his spine. He’ll recover, but will be paralyzed. Logan is picked up, and charges are confirmed when other victims come forward with similar stories STAY TUNED.MORE TO COME...
    • They've talked about having staff at the Dupree house, like Rowena the chef. I just don't think we've seen them.  
    • Really an excellent point. I'm worried about Derek but he's not working. The Duprees being too good somehow ... well, if they say it instead of be it, okay yes, I would worry but as long as they keep on being good, geeze, that's something to celebrate, not worry!!!  Party on?!
    • I blame Mitch.
