I'm really wondering about the HH points and how they're found.

Obviously that one demo doesn't control the HH number, but B&B was actually up in the 18-49 demo compared to last year, yet it's tied for low in HH.

About Y&R and B&B, the thing is, B&B has been this low before, but it hasn't been lately. So that means it was this low and then climbed back up to around 3. Y&R got that 3.4 record a few weeks ago.

EXACTLY!!!!!!

ABC will be the last to bow out, because that's all money that goes in their pockets. CBS is, for all intents and purposes, leasing. After awhile, it's not worth it. The ad revenue they bring in based on the demo's will be a lot less than the shows cost to produce.

The demos are all that matter in daytime, though, and Y&R is crashing in 18-34. If it continues its downward slide in households, I would expect the 18-49 demo to follow.

Y&R may still have a large audience, but most of their viewers, sadly, don't matter to advertisers. And because CBS doesn't own the show, ABC makes more money with GH's 1.4 and even OLTL's 1.3 than CBS makes with Y&R's 1.6 in the demo.

I want to see that..with AMC, OLTL and GH all pulling 0.5 ratings in HH while all other soaps cancelled. It sounds like something Frons would do.....MVP anyone?? :lol:

I know that NBC and Sony have reached a "tentative" agreement on renewing DAYS for another year (through March 2010), but no contracts have been signed. The hold-up is supposedly about the cost for leasing the show (NBC no doubt wants to pay less than what Sony wants). With these recent ratings for DAYS, I wouldn't be surprised if NBC just bowed out of negotiations and canceled it. Ben Silverman was the show's savior (ex-NBC programming chief Kevin Reilly had planned to cancel it) when he showed up at NBC, but I think the only reason he wanted to renew it is because he hates Kevin Reilly, lol.

I'll co-sign everythign on here.

Even if they sign the contract, I'm SURE they have an out after the first year. it's never THAT iron clad. They can pick it up, and then cancel it next March if the numbers don't rise again.

    • 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. 
    • It was overkill and the whole narrative Lois was too nice to the orphan kid when he was little, WHAT? Like Emma said no one thinks Gio is a troublemaker that gets 14-year-old kids drunk for fun. That being said, Lulu figured this Gio thing out in episode, but Brook Lynn never once questioned Lois and Gloria's attachment to a child that was the same age as the baby she gave up?  Ever?
