what i meant was. DOOL has no follow through villains. they come off as weak. All talk no action. victor was a good villain back in the day when he said he was gonna do something he did it. that's problem with DOOL nowadays. they back tracked and now they have weak villains like victor who once was a good villain. and stefano who was my fav..the writers completely screwed them up. IMO the the resent villain DOOL had that was a follow through type of badass was Andre. and he's dead. didn't last more than a few months. GH keeps villains on the show for years. and they fellow through with trying to kill there target. namely sonny/Jason. or some cases. people around them they care about. the shootouts are awesome. DOOL doesn't have that type of suspence and action pack like when JER was HW. even if viewers hated him for his long drawn out S/L's. one thing he did good was action stunts that most of us action fanatics enjoyed. DOOL is totally boring right now. with un-interesting S/L's. that don't gain ratings..so there stuck with a 2.2. and the characters are not helping either. there pretty much used up to the point where the dimera vs bradys is played out. well GH is consistently good. i haven't seen one full week where DOOL has been good. the boring days outweigh the good.

Not a surprise about the Bell soaps...topping 6 million at Y&R and 4 million at B&B wasn't going to last in the short term, however, in the long term I think it's a definite possibility as both shows are excellent right now. Fingers crossed because the Bell soaps seem to want to please the audience and deliver character driven storylines that entertain.

The P&G soaps, they need help and they aren't going to get it. Maybe the cosmetic changes will help. Who knows.

The ABC soaps are a mess! AMC is only hanging on thanks to Debbie and Darnell, OLTL is consistent...but dull and GH is hemorrhaging viewers like it's going out of style!

DAYS is trying, it's giving itself a shot. Tomorrow's episode is fantastic, I would love it to push it to number three, a place it used to be many years ago!

IA. The ABC soaps may be like this because the viewers know what to expect. Frons doesn't care about OLTL, seems to not care about AMC, and the fans know that the only time GH is any good is sweeps, which only means 3 months out of the year. He wants some big stunt for the net's flagship show, and when that doesn't happen, it's the viewers' fault.

What kills me is that the fans tell them what they want to see, but they have gotten so lazy that they now rely on shock and awe and stunts to bring viewers in, not realizing in their own feeble brains that the same viewers willtune right back out when the stunt is over.

And then, at NBC, when Days is getting back on track, TBFIC either sabotages his own show or some jackass exec at Sony or NBC says something really stupid and the viewers still tune out.

They have killed the trust of the viewers, and it's their own damn fault.

Thank you so much! :)

I think what we may need is a complete overhall of almost every staff on the shows (with the exeption of Y&R, B&B, OLTL and MAYBE Days). We need some fresh ideas and some writers who love telling stories. If you look at some of the blogs that are written, blog writers hear all the time that these are the stories that they want to see.

But.......with some of these idiots in charge, I don't see it happening. NBC thinks all we want to see is 12 hours of the Today show 7 days a damn week.

    • The Duprees not having any staff is a bugbear for me. They've included the background staff at the Country Club but no one at the Dupree home. Even just an extra bringing in a tray of food/drinks or responding to a request from Anita would suffice.
    • Shut up, Dante and Lois.  I actually don't mind this particular soap trope, but in the context of this storyline, it just feels forced and unnecessary. If anything, this Dante/Gio tension needed to begin months ago. Plus, this storyline, in general, isn't doing Lois any favors either.  Emma comforting Gio was really sweet though. It's definitely time for the two of them to have their first kiss. And, Joss playing Secret Agent Barbie will just never work.
    • Note to makeup - Smitty’s eyebrows, bad clamshell look.

    • Okay I can buy that when Brook Lynn was a teen.  Now she knows the child is a boy one would think she'd be slightly suspicious.  Then again, Gio looks nothing like either of them so maybe not lol.
    • I've been behind & just got caught up & the last 3 days were amazing!
    • Yeah.  The hot, poor bad boy with a chip on his shoulder but with a heart of gold was a common soap trope in the 80s

    • That's been an issue with me... the lack of a cohesive 'Have Not' crowd that has focus other than Leslie/Eva.   I would beef up Jan, Mona, Laura, Joey, and few other male characters.. and not just be out to overthrow the Duprees.. but co-existing and broadening the scope of the show since the show is called Beyond the Gates. I think the set up the show has with everything revolving around the Duprees will become predictable especially if they always win.   It would be like Victor Newman on Y & R for 40+ years.. always winning, hardly ever losing.   With MVJ/Guza.. both trained under that mindset... I fear that will happen.   I've always heard from a performer that is playing a character like Leslie/Dana that you have to find the victim/hurt beneath the surface in order to play a villain/villainess... and I think that's why I enjoy watching her.. because she brings so much more to the part than what the writers put on the page.
    • I figure that was really hard for Dom to do. I completely GET why they wrote it the way they did but I wonder if it was necessary. Meanwhile I have 2 really icky ideas in my head. Drew is going to blame Tracy KNOWING it was not her. Dante is going to blame Lulu.  After that, everyone else is going to be mad at Lois.  Tracy is going to double down on wanting to get rid of Sonny. Sonny's going to be more dug in to stay because he now has a new descendant. 
    • I can actually buy Brook Lynn being so self-absorbed and incurious that she never thought to question why her mom and grandma were so attached to Gio.
