November Sweeps: Rank 'Em!

Y&R deserves a straight A

It was basically flawless except for some remaining cast chunks from the previous regime. Great storytelling, balance, lush look, emotional connection - MAB, Sheffer and Rauch delivered it all. That's how a soap should be.

Haven't seen a single episode of B&B in November at all so far. Will catch up with very soon but I don't expect it to be better than a C-. So far I don't see how any of the current stories can keep my interest until the COMPLETE REVAMP OF ALL STORIES in late December/January which is heavily rumored and sounds pretty good...

Y&R A+: Really heads and shoulders above the rest. Other soaps should take note.

OLTL B: Just for the pure climax of stories. I still think the stories stink. Same old baby switch story.

AMC C-: I still havent seen anything remotely good about this show. Only today's ending was good.

DAYS D: Too many newbies on.

ATWT D-: The same [!@#$%^&*] sweeps from Pissy.

GH F: Violence...UGH

B&B F: I saw this week...boy how awful B&B is right now.

GL F: No comment

I'm curious as to how AMC's sweeps has been great? What happened that was so compelling? If I wanted to watch crazy, I'd rather watch Janet............

Co-sign. AMC's sweeps were a bust. The fallout from the tornado has been nill for the most part. I find it hard to believe with as many tornadoes as we were lead to believe that hit the town, that there wasn't more damage than they're saying? Right......

Annie's storyline could have been compelling, but it's all about Ryan. Ryan is why she went crazy ::barf::

Zach & Bianca-like SID said viewers tend to prefer character driven storylines over plot driven ones.

Greenlee barely gives her HUSBAND a second thought after he takes a bullet for her, she's too up in Ryan's kool-aid to be bothered with Aidan.

Jake and Taylor are BORING

Jesse looks like an ass for letting Ryan continually berate and abuse(even physically) law enforcement officials and others. Oh and Pratt did an injustice to Jesse. I mean really. Jesse goes on the run and hooks up with Rebecca barely months after leaving the love of his life, and knocks her up? Right.......

It was November sweeps?! :o

Really though, I only watch Y&R and GL, but if you hadn't posted this topic, I wouldn't have even thought about it. Back in the good ol' days I would have bought SOD (and prob SOW too) and plopped down last month to read all the exciting things that were going to happen on the soaps during this month. Now it's the 26th and I just now gave it a second thought.

I still cant believe we have Eric(Great Grandpa) with Brook's trampy sister. Seriously, WTF is Eric smokin. The show is just sick!! Stephanie shouldnt take him back. Any other story going on I could tell. Is there any other going on?

And I agree Heather Tom should go back to y&r as Victoria.

    • I still say this is Frank's way of saying goddbye to JJ, who brought nothing to the show and was a complete dud for his entire return. He's purposelY been given an awful exit. Is this all Jackson's fault? Most likely not, but I place most of the blame on him. Too many contract demands, too much working around his travel schedule, too many stories he refused to do. GH has WAY too many actors calling the shots and influencing story and hires. We've seen it hurt the show time and time again.
    • Yeah, like others have said, Paul took it home for me today. We'd be so lucky to have him back for good.
    • I really like the scenes between Dani and Andre today.  Regardless of where this goes or who they end up with.  For now I appreciate that they have honesty with one another.  There's deep truth and vulnerability.  More than before.

      date: Tuesday, June 10 | Gregori J. Martin, Cheryl L. Davis | Phideaux Xavier Andre and Dani continue to use each other for their own personal reasons. I mean, good for them, but the people they truly want to be with are not each other. Anita wanting the temporary passes revoked? Oh, I know that made Sharon mad as Hell. MAD! Tracy said, "Shut up! I'm in charge now!" Bill playing around with child bride, via Ashley... that was kind of cute, but I also kind of wish it were true. Sharon, sweetie, your ugliness continues to shine bright like the ugliest of cubic zirconia. And Tracy, your vulnerability is beautiful; this reunion means so much to you, and it's genuine. That's what I want to see. So, with Bill's right side affected, then his stroke was on the left side of his brain; interesting. Very interesting, and while it's nice that he is making significant improvements, more can and will be done. Rehab, huh? Will it be at-home rehab or at a facility? That's what I would like to know. I appreciate Sharon [finally] letting that ugliness fade and her truth begin to come out. That's beautiful. Vernon continues to be wise with his years and his wisdom, and his continued connections with his grandchildren, especially discussing the past (summer of '69) with Uncle Cornelius, I love this. This is what I enjoy seeing. Dani is catching onto Chelsea's crush on Madison, and I think she approves. So, Shanice was a physical therapist to start? Quite interesting. Wait, so Anita is leaving town? Why do I suspect she's going to come home to some messes she'll have to clean up? Notes: I've loved the muted, neutral tones that Tamara Tunie (Anita) has been wearing throughout, but then we get moments like today where she wears this vibrant pop of colour, and I'm fully in love. Karla Mosley (Dani) continues to shine in her facial expressions when Marquita Goings' Hayley is talking nonsense. She embodies Dani from head to toe, eye roll and all. Tunie and Clifton Davis (Vernon) shine together; it's a natural, old-school kind of chemistry they share as a couple.
    • Maybe Vetsoapfan will chime in. He might know. 
    • Yeah, I'm thinking that, too. It certainly would be one way to deflect from the embarrassment of being fired early in your contract.  
    • I was hoping Dani/Andre would get caught in the most awkward way possible. lol.  Shanice is now a PT. Umm...okay. Glad they are keeping her in the mix.  Anita going to Chicago. Is this a way to have TT offscreen for some reason?        
    • Andrea Evans was not on the show at this time.  A part of me does wonder if this type of story is just thrown in for juicy gossip and didn't really happen.
    • No, it couldn't have been her. She left early 1983 (with an actor who would become her husband, and still is, as far as I know). Other names from the era would be Shelly Burch (Delilah), Brynn Thayer (Jenny), and Andrea Evans (Tina). But I doubt any of these were powerful enough to push the eject button on another actress.
