Apparently so. There was an article in some paper in France announcing this. It was cancelled after only 2 weeks on the air. Not sure why it was not given a longer opportunity but maybe the makeup of the show just did not appeal to the french audience - have no idea.

I would love to see it surpass Y&R on the totem pole.

I just have a funny feeling that all the ABCD soaps go the way of GH, it's top soap, and GH has not been good. It's a shame because OLTL has improved so much.

I forgot to point something else, too: I don't think the ratings are dropping just because the Nielsen's have the wrong technique.

I don't have to go to speak to someone either, among other things because that person doesn't need to explain me the method. I would like to have an honest discussion about the arguments for and against the Nielsens.

And I so don't believe you have a maths degree! :P:D

You are right, I don't have a math degree. I have a ph.d in public policy. But yes you are right, I don't have a math degree. Yes, I agree that it would be nice to have an honest discussion about Nielsens. That means I get to disagree with you and say there is nothing wrong with the Nielsens approach without it hurting your feelings or having to have you ask questions and make accusations about my degree.

I disagree with you. There is nothing wrong with ratings. i

Okay...here's a question just to pass the time until the ratings get the ball rolling here and I'm being serious.

Payola: (definition for dictionary.com)

pay·o·la

n.

Bribery of an influential person in exchange for the promotion of a product or service, such that of disc jockeys for the promotion of records.

A bribe or a number of bribes given to an influential person in exchange for a promotion of a product or service

Do you think that the fan campaigns where producers, network executives, actors, or media writers receive gifts of value should be considered payola in order to promote a specific storyline, couple, or character? I understand sending in postcards and that sort of thing but I recently watched a youtube clip where Becky Herbst (and I am NOT singling her out by any means whatsoever. It's just the example I happened to see.) showed off a bracelet that was sent by a certain faction of her fans and I remember thinking how strange it was. I could see where receiving gifts of a certain monetary value by a faction of her fans might influence her support for one pairing over another. It could influence storylines and ultimately affect the careers of not only the actor involved but other actors on the show. Similarly if Guza, Phelps, or we could expand it to other shows like The Bears or Carruthers et al. were receiving similar treatment, could that actually be considered payola?

This is just for the sake of the argument guys. I'm not trying to "start nothing where there wouldn't be nothing".... I'm just curious what your take on it might be.

    • 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.

    • I agree. For now. I am sure in a year's time...a new family (or old) will start to appear on the show. 
    • There's some irony in Philip being forgiven, because it forces everyone to admit that Victor was wrong to change his will.  Everyone, eventually including Xander, (I presume), seems to think it was wrong for Victor to divide his estate in Xander's favor.  I appreciated Stephanie forgiving Philip, because she's got no skin in that game.  But, Belle's line about Philip missing Xander because he misses Bo did not ring true.  I think Philip would be sad if Bo dies, but I think he's more concerned currently about Xander. I am enjoying this EJ mystery so much that I am hereby taking a vow not to read spoilers.  I am also vowing — for the last time — to stop harping on this, but: the concept of a “sepsis treatment” remains absurd. Hospitals prevent sepsis through vigilant infection control; once sepsis sets in, it causes multiple organ failures. Treatment involves supporting each failing organ individually. The notion that a single medication could magically reverse organ failure is medically laughable. However, I like the contrast of Kim going through cancer, which is incurable in their universe.  Kayla's comment on the health of both of her siblings was both heartbreaking and an interesting twist.  MBE is also totally underrated.  She is carrying the weight of so many stories.   And, I like the use of Kayla as an audience surrogate.  She's arguably the most "real" person in Salem. Kayla isn't psychic, she wasn't SORASed, she's not a billionaire, and she doesn't have a bionic eye.  So, I enjoy that we get her perspective of the nuttiness that surrounds her. However, I don't get what gives her the authority to turn down EJ's offer.  I understand that they need a hospital figurehead to show us scenes of the competition to buy the hospital.  But, unless the entire administration has been let go, the Chief of Staff wouldn't make those choices.
    • But why worry about something that might not happen? Right now, most things revolve around the Duprees. We have no idea if or how long that will continue. For now, it's working.
    • 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.
