This should be a very interesting week for the soap ratings. With most soaps going down last week, you can expect this to be an up week and some shows like B&B, which episodes were so emotional and featured traditional s/ls and characters last week. I wouldn't be surprised if B&B got a 2.8 or higher.

The soaps did great in the important demo last week where the soaps make their money from advertisers, so we'll see if they can stabilize those numbers.

Most of the soaps have been great to watch so any soaps going down would be a bad thing.

For real? Wow! 1.5 in 18-49 that´s huge!

I quess Dena, Chris and Gary can read all the b*tching and hating on the MB´s with the same smirk on her face like Melanie, the newest Salem bitch, has. All vets backburnered, two biggest star fired, no so called supercouples together and the show is gaining the right kind of viewers like it´s the most natural thing on earth.

Glad Whitesell's on a show on the rise--he's endlessly inventive.

Sadly, he's not getting the chance to do anything, same with Tomlin. The show is so boring and bad. There are no signs of Tomin/Whitesell's imagination. :(

I think the Nicole/EJ/Sami story might be gaining the interest of casual Days viewers. This is the main story on the show right now, and is clearly slated to be the "A" story of 2009. If the story is played out correctly over the next 6-8 months (which should be the length of the story at a minimum, given how many natural story-beats are built into it, not to mention all of the close-call reveals), it could build to a decent spike in the ratings. I, for one, am really enjoying the story. But then again, I love long, drawn-out stories that build slowly and naturally to a climax with a dozen-or-so characters involved. For this story you have Nicole, EJ, Sami, Rafe, Lucas, Chloe, Brady and Stefano all orbiting around this main story, with more people to be sucked in as it progresses. Lots of secrets to be revealed, slowly, to various characters on the canvas, all of which will/should take time.

On a side note, I'm also wondering if the spiking unemployment in the country will lead to an increase of people being at home and tuning in, especially over the next 3 months when winter weather will be so prevelant. It'd be ironic if a horrible economy ends up *helping* some soaps...

People keep speculationg about that. Frankly I don't think it will because there are still other things to watch. I don't think people are going to get rid of cable especially since many people use that for internet access. I know some people have gotten rid of their premium channels but that still leaves basic cable and that leaves plenty of options other than soaps.

The story has potential, but pieces need to be moved into places before I can truly enjoy it. Like once Nicole gets busted, "who" is going to be "rewarded"? The Sami/EJ fans? Are they the couple to "root for", if so, why are they setting up Sami/Rafe? I want Nicole to be built up more as a villainess. For this story to work, the bad guy needs to be doing something to keep the couple seperated. So far, they haven't established who that couple is. The structure of the storyline isn't right for me.

The close calls is classic soap and Reilly-ish, so of course I don't mind that. The only thing is I wish they would make it a bit more dramatic, and that's on the director and music direction.

I so want to consult on DAYS!! LOL
