It's crazy right? We know that all soaps are losing viewers but with ABC it's clearly more than than just the YouTube/download/women in the workplace attrition. ABC is actively driving viewers away. They're practically leaving skid marks. I really wonder what job objectives Frons is meeting because clearly he's failing here.

Yup, I still see AMC as a complete mess. Considering how so many are dogging Days right now it actually beat OLTL(the master RC) all week except for Friday. And hopeless ATWT also beat OLTL the whole week in Total Viewers. And only were beaten on Wednesday in HHs numbers. Yes, RC is the next savior in daytime. ;)

It's just too much of the same thing with AMC. Kendall/Greenlee(The Real Greenlee..who was suppose to bring in the big numbers), Ryan(ugh!), Zack, Aiden......too much overkill of these 5 characters. Add Annie to the mix and you have a nose dive in ratings. Sorry Zendall Fan but there is way too much of Kendall on.....The show needs to focus on its other vets. The constant 6 arent bringing in the numbers.

That's your opinion Toups. Remember in high school the difference between fact and opinion? :P;) Let's just say RC is the best right now in daytime. [!@#$%^&*] Passant and Dena Higley are still beating him in the ratings. :lol:

I cant wait!! :D

Man Y& R is really turning it around. The show has been enjoyable for me lately. Eric Braden (probably spelled wrong) is doing such a fine job.

As far as OLTL, it's not unusual for viewers to tune out during summer reruns and from what I read on these boards, OLTL is currently in reruns. :lol:

I keep being stunned by AMC's ratings until I remember that I'm not really watching AMC. I just watch the Angie/Jesse channel on YouTube so for me AMC is the best show on the air. I haven't had to look at Kendall's bony butt once.

And as for OLTL, people can keep singing all the hosannahs about Carlivati they want to (although I've noticed the choir getting smaller), it sounds like a hot mess.

Yeah, and RC was beating them last week. Next week he might beat them, then the week after, they might beat him again. What's your point with the ratings?

I'm talking about as a writer and I believe RC is definitely a better HW than Jean and Dena.

    • So, on rewatch....did Rick and Mindy never have sex? 
    • Cady had a fairly posh accent or manner as Rosanna - the character was a 180 from Dixie when she went to ATWT, and it was a huge success initially. As someone mostly only familiar with the nagging, miserable or clueless Dixie of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s it was what convinced me Cady could act. I thought she was incredible in her first run. Later, in future stints, her hair and story and performances were all over the place but a lot of that was down to the show for me. She brought some of Rosanna back with her to Dixie in her ill-fated return and a lot of people didn't like it, which I understood but I did think the character needed some change. I think she's had a little bit of the same persona and arch performance in every role she's played since, including Jennifer Horton at DAYS or Kelly at Y&R, who later became a maniac and was easily the worst work I've ever seen Cady do. It has kind of infected her overall mannerisms, I'll allow that, but I do think she brought Dixie back together as herself while still evolving the character when she returned to AMC again in 2012-13. Nonetheless, for me the upshot is that this is a character where Cady's kookier recent performance style suits the role. But I can understand it grating for people.
    • Yeah, Loretta Swit's passing stings. My late dad LOVED the show (he died last November) and watched it religiously. In first run and repeats.  And I was literally born the day after the show's premiere, so I grew up with it! I know many loved later, softer Margaret, but I loved Early Hot Lips. In real life, I'm all for less misogyny, but to me, the early years of M*A*S*H were just funnier. May Loretta Swit rest in peace. Thanks for all the memories connected to my dad!

    • I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.

    • And here I thought I'd never think about Lauren Tewes again after her brief appearance in Twin Peaks Season 3.
    • I may be the single person who does not mind Transatlantic Campy Pamela. I think it perfectly suits this sort of Absolutely Fabulous-esque supporting character she's playing much more than it did when Cady tried weird and often broad stuff at AMC* or Y&R, or later stints at ATWT. She's not Dixie and she's not trying to be. I will freely admit some of the other chances she took at other shows often came off stiff, hammy or downright mortifying (Kelly Andrews, come on down). (* - and I say that as one of the few who was somewhat into Cady trying to make Dixie more cosmopolitan in the Rosanna Cabot mold in mid-2000s AMC, just to liven the character up again)
    • There’s absolutely nothing exciting happening storyline wise but I’m always happy to see the vets on my screen so I’ll take what I can get. It’s also just nice to see them all dressed up in the same room, it always gives classic Y&R vibes. The best part? No Phyllis.

    • Well now we had Ashley's reaction-and weren't we all gasping when she appeared to hate it-but she was just joking!! She loved it. Now we have to see Abby's reaction, and maybe Mamie could come back to say she loves it. How about Jill via Zoom giving her opinion (she'll love it) and bring in a day player to play Mrs Martinez to say she loves it also... I feel bad to keep dumping on this show (not really) but when the choices they make are so inane, it's the only entertainment value the show has. Let's unpack the Nikki birthday story. So Claire wants to throw her Nana a birthday bash as away of endearing Kyle to Victor. Don't quite get the logic there,but OK. She hires a party planner who makes ridiculous suggestions. Slightly annoyed that Y&R are hiring someone for this role for 5 episodes when we never see doctors, co- workers etc. But OK to that to. With all the talk we are expecting something special. What we get is the Jazz Lounge hideously decorated with some ugly tablecloths and a few tacky decorations. They needed a planner for this? Then the guest list consists of family members (no grandchildren)and a few others. Hardly a party. As usual the costuming is pretty awful. A red and black theme ? And our guest of honor is sporting a do that looks like a cross between Cameron Diaz in Something about Mary and Marie from Roxette. They should have had an intimate dinner and ditched all the fanfare. Would have been way more believable.
