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.

    • Wait - so no Will, Jack, or Jen at John's funeral? That’s just weird. What was the point of bringing them back then? Did Julie and Maggie even show up? I mean, seriously.

      . Thank you @cityofllanview for digging deep and finding this @longjohnsilvers commercial from 2000. If anyone feels inclined to dig deep and find more, I’d greatly appreciate it!!!!   https://www.instagram.com/p/DKX9m3ytGIw/ cityofllanview and theonlydaphneeduplaix Now we know Thursday ain't here but here is a Flashback to @longjohnsilvers commercial from 2000 featuring the amazing @theonlydaphneeduplaix make sure to catch her as Nicole on @beyondthegatescbs Weekdays at 2pm on @cbstv and streaming on @paramountplus.                    
    • Full statement from city of Glendale https://www.glendaleca.gov/Home/Components/News/News/9293/16
    • Has anyone ever totted up how many women on GL slept with both father and son(s)? Reva gets a lot of crap for it but she's far from the only one: Claire Beth Blake Olivia Dina Did I miss anyone?  Also, did Reva ever sleep with Phillip? They always had some "closeness" thing, but I don't know if they ever actually did the deed. If they did, then Reva's the clear winner, with TWO families covered, lol!  
    • I think Long was probably planning to have Claire suffer from Post Partum, but she left the writing staff shortly after Claire had Michelle so that element didn't get explored. And I always assumed that when Claire returned in the late 90s/early 00s.. that she was realizing that she messed up by not staying a part of Michelle's life and became resentful/bitter over her previous choices.  That was my theory.  
    • Jenn was a huge part of the success of Days back in the day, and that contribution shouldn't be dismissed.  With that said, I do think her and Jack's time on the show should remain as occasional visits/drop ins. When Missy returns to play Jenn, Jenn is back to being Jenn.   Jenn in her glory days was head strong, fiesty, and was a live wire.... and her scenes with Jack on Friday was classic Jenn with Jack being the voice of reason.   It was the foundation of their relationship back in the day.    
    • Claire was always tightly wound, I think what Long was going to do is to throw the three into this impossible situation with no bad guys, Mo, knowing how to take care of kids from growing up but unable to conceive and Claire, who didnt know how to take care of kids and was totally focused on her career, gets knocked up.  Ryder took Claire off the deep end as a convenient way to make story for characters he wasnt interested in (though Pratt blames McTavish) with little effort. It was later explained to be a brain tumor (though why was she a bitch again when she returned?) \ Claire did sleep with Rick, she was his first!
    • I'm sorry, truly I am, but this literally made me LOL. Tempting fate, much?

    • Oh, I have very little doubt that Missy feels some way personally and privately.  Donna was just saying she actively spoke out against Days in public in reference to the gay storylines, which she did not. I don't have super strong feeling about Jen one way or another.  She was always a side character to me.  I still think Missy is Jen regardless of her stupid beliefs.
    • I hated the swap-over; Clayton Norcross, to me, was far superior in the role of Thorne than Jeff Trachta ever was. And the recast left me disliking Thorne when he was the superior son to me. As for Teri Ann Linn, I feel like she got the raw deal. Kristen was very clear as a forefronting character, especially in her rivalry with Stephanie, and it feels like she was dropped off for Felicia, and they never returned it. Not to mention the subpar recast with Tracy Melchior in 2001. Someone like Brenda Epperson (ex-Ashley, Y&R) would've been more suited for that role.
