Em rehired Casey, Brad got the info on Liberty, who'd just chirped "you're my dad", and Jack and Carly continued to fight after Parker's skateboarding accident. I think it was the closest thing we'd had to a Friday cliffhanger in ages.

Honestly I don't know why people expect the rating to jump whenever a certain character returns. But the average viewer doesn't give a [!@#$%^&*], pardon my French. The ratings drop over time and if the ratings are going to rise it will take even more time. For example AMC has made some decent changes but I think it will take a year or more (much MUCH more if Frons is involved) to see any significant increase. There's slightly better buzz on the boards but it will take a loooooong time for that cautious optimism to turn into trust and that trust to turn back into regular viewing. For me, I adore Jesse/Angie but I loathe wading through stupidity to get to them.

I walked away from OLTL a year ago. And even if all my faves came back/were restored/were given front burner stories, it would take a long time before OLTL would return to the place it once held for me. And I'm far more engaged than 99% of the viewing audience. I'd rather they cancel OLTL and create a Jesse/Angie spinoff with a new characters played by the best actors on both AMC and OLTL.

Marcellina is Fluffy your dog or is it clip art? He/She is so cute!

I like DOOL better than most soaps right now. It's the only one I invest much energy in following. I had not watched Jesse and Angie previously, but I tune in now to AMC to see them. I happened to catch an ad when I was watching GH. It was the one at the train station and it made me tune in. As much as I like the two of them, I still don't set aside time to watch AMC. It's catch as catch can.

I'll watch OLTL at the end of the month to watch them dump the character and couple I watched the show to see. After he is killed off, I'm done with it. I haven't watched OLTL much lately anyway and what I saw was deadly dull so it won't be hard to tune out.

It's a lot easier for these shows to keep the viewers they have then try get back what they lost.

Whoa there Y&R. Just wait one hot minute. Monday nets a 4.3 while Friday nets a 3.4? 1.1 million viewers left through the week. What that's saying to me is that people ARE watching, the fans ARE there...they just haven't been liking what they're seeing. This isn't a surprise, the show has been dull as hell and that week was particularly boring. Hopefully next week's ratings will reflect how this week was a definite improvement.

B&B has been terrific and deserves each and every viewer it gets. Fantastic stuff all the way around.

DAYS is O.K. It holds my interest somewhat but nothing big is happening. It's good day to day which is nice but it's still unsatisfying long term.

ATWT and GL I don't watch. The ratings for GL are pretty bad but comparable to all the soaps at...

ABC Daytime is a m*****f*****g joke. As a shareholder in Disney I'm thinking of suing. Robert Iger needs to intervene because this sh*t is pathetic. I'm not even talking based on creativity, I'm talking based on money. It's terribly pathetic that these once hallowed shows are netting the numbers they are. That son of a bitch Brian Frons is the worst television executive in history.

I'm glad for B&B, and I'm glad when any show gets a bump, but why all the praise about how a certain storyline caused the ratings to spike? As usual, it looks like B&B kept pretty much apace with Y&R throughout the week, mirroring Y&R's Monday high and its descent throughout the week. The CBS ratings are really odd. No matter how much viewer dissatisfaction there is with Y&R, it's hard to believe it caused their ratings to drop almost a full point throughout the course of the week. It's especially odd with a show like Y&R, which has an extremely loyal following. Poor ABC! The shows are better but they've alienated so many viewers over the past several years that it might be a case of too little too late. AMC is very watchable again, OLTL has industry buzz, and GH has the fallout from the Michael shooting, yet HHs are flat and the demos are rotten. Finally, what's there to say about GL? A 1.5! How long can it survive on dailies like that? Almost anything they replaced it with (a court show, talk show) would probably do better. It's all very depressing.

    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
