Since most the ratings from the non-serial syndication (talk shows, court shows, and etc.) and wrestling tv shows were down across the board last week, I predict the soap numbers will either stay the same or go down so much so to record lows.

Things don’t look good for any of the soaps (or the rest of daytime for that matter) leading into May sweeps.

The question remains is how bad is soaps ratings are going to be during May sweeps and the upcoming summer months?

As I keep saying, all that I hope for is the soap writers, the EPs, and the daytime industry itself get off their asses and make soaps for the 2008 era and not for the 70s-90s era for today viewers or they’ll be out of a job sooner than later.

Agreed. I was watching Days episodes from 1985 on YouTube and thinking, "Wow, this was really modern." Some of the scenes looked more like an action movie, and the music was dynamic '80s rock. Now it's all quaint and old-fashioned in comparison...

Time for the weekly foot tapping and nervous idle pre-ratings chatter.

That's my favorite part since the ratings tend to be on the depressing side.

I'm hoping for an AMC bump (crosses fingers *please*please*please*) because the show has actually gotten pretty good if you subtract the stupid 6 plot point. Let each couple have their own story (like say Ryan rebuilding his marriage because I'm enjoying Ryan and Annie together or Zendall dealing with the fall out from the 5MS, or "Five Minute Stand" - thanks Kate from Eye on Soaps) and it's all good.

Still loving Jessie and Angie and I sorta like Uncle Rob...or love to hate Uncle Rob. AMC got two good lover to haters with Rob and Ritchie. What's with all the bad guys starting with R????? :D

And while there are people hoping for an AMC increase, I'm like the little person who kind of hopes that GL jumps just a tad notch because the recent ratings for GL have been extremely horrible. True, the show sucks and wish that there would be some kind of regime change to happen for this show, but these ratings for GL are so sad to look at. And with former Guiding Light actress Nicollette Goulet who just recently died due to her battle with breast cancer and looking at some old Guiding Light video clips on YouTube when she played Meredith Reade, I was just saddened to see the passion the show had as a whole back then. And it's gone now... it's just... so sad. *sniffs* :(

It's hard to muster up passion when there's no money supporting you...no money for writers, sets, actors...yet they keep soldiering on (same with ATWT). I have to give them all credit for trying so hard under such dire circumstances.

    • 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.
