Glad to see ATWT up. :) The week was full of Hughes on Tuesday. Barbara and Lisa on Wednesday with Babs telling Lisa she had cancer. And Friday's show was Halee's kidnapping.

I am interested to see all the demos.

Just read the good news about Patsy Pease and now I see that B&B finally went to 3.0...so glad I decided to check the board!!! Y&R has been entertaining lately, IMHO, so I am happy to see that they are doing well again. I think Latham's influence is quickly fading from the show. There certainly is a different vibe or feel to Y&R that is more enjoyable to watch.

I am a little sad that the return of Jessie and Angie hasn't really helped AMC but I am not completely surprised. They wasted their time promoting the return of the "real" Greenlee instead of pushing two characters who are so important to the show's history. Of course, maybe some fans don't like that Jessie is being brought back from the dead and are upset about the return. And the writing hasn't improved so that doesnt help! :lol: I don't think firing B&E will be enough to fix AMC. Carruthers has got to go and Frons needs to let the new people do their jobs and bring AMC back to it's roots. Sadly, I don't see that happening.

I am still not on Y&R's bandwagon. The show is still blah to me. I dont get the ratings and viewer increases. Sarah Brown's return did nothing for GH. Of course her return wasnt promoted as heavily as the Real Greenlee. :lol: It looks like B&B and ATWT are gaining more older viewers instead of the 18-49 demos. They are down from last week. They must be gaining in the 50+ viewers.

Major kudos to Y&R and B&B. See what good writing and consistency can get you! Y&R has been like it's old self since that plot driven bitch departed! And when Y&R gains so does B&B, they're attached at the hip in terms of ratings. I am just loving Y&R now, all of those *horrid* plots got wrapped up within 2 weeks and the show has rebounded beautifully. B&B has been it's fun, campy self, thank you Brad & Co. The Bell soaps (hopefully) are back to where they belong! So CBS and SONY: Don't Fu*k things up and hire anyone associated with LML! Don't change anything! You did that once and look how things worked out!!!!!

The P&G soaps need help. I don't know if they'll get the promotion they need desperately.

DAYS: stunts don't work. The writing sucks. Ed Scott....HELP!

The ABC soaps are a right mess. It's really pathetic.

    • These contract guarantees of 1 ep per month are ridiculous. How can you even have a story if your character apprars 4-5 times in a month? It's sad.
    • It's hard to tell with some actors appearing on average 4 times in a month whether they're recurring or just on a low guarantee contract. Someone recurring  like Beth Maitland can be used a lot for several months then disappear. So the monthly tallies aren't enough to go by.
    • 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.
