No, because the great mystery of the universe right now is why DOOL is the only show TRENDING UP. It is a total galactic paradox!

I predict that the D&D departure will either have no effects on ratings, or ratings might even trend up. Because there are mysteries afoot over there. Something not-of-this-earth is driving the ratings on that show.

How long before Stefano, Tony, Anna, Patch and Kayla are canned? It can't be very long now....

I'm with you, I don't think Hall and Hogestyn's exit is going to make a dent in the ratings. I really believe that what we're seeing with DAYS is a transformation...my wife has been DEDICATED to this show for decades and she thinks it's really changed into a whole new show. She said, specifically, that DAYS has become very very youth oriented. Practically everyone driving story is under 40.

I really don't understand the ratings for DAYS, usually when a show changes so radically there is a backlash or the ratings plummet (ie: the whole genre) and yet here is DAYS, evolving into a Youth Soap...it reminds me of the British soap Hollyoaks somewhat, youth youth youth supported by a few over 40s (ie: Kate, Abe, Lexie, Bo, Hope & Maggie)

I sincerely hope Stefano, Tony, Anna, Patch and Kayla are all canned soon. None of them are doing a damn thing except using up the budget.

Hahahaha! Too funny! Welcome to the Hellmouth! It's nice to see something unusual in all this though. I just hate that it's happening under Higley's watch.

The DAYS thing begs the question about something I've always wondered. It sounds like DAYS has turned into a new show with the same old name. Kind of like GH became a mob show years ago. Wouldn't it almost be better if there was a way to declare an official end to the "old" version of the show, short of cancellation? That way the old viewers would know that it just isn't their show anymore.

Thank God Hollyoaks IS a soap opera and it's not shitty like DOOL. :D

2008 was an amazing year for Hollyoaks!

I still think those Passions girls followed Galen and Eric to DOOL. lol NBC was pimping those two boys on the Passions website for months. In fact, wasn't it the NBC Passions website who broke the news?

I agree totally. I believe that some Passions fans have migrated to Days. Let's face it, beyond their "faves" moving over, it is the only show on daytime that REMOTELY reaches out to that audience.

That may be just enough of a new migration of viewers to make a dent.

I assume NBC is studying this issue, and if we are right, we'll see other faves from Passions (Adrian Bellani?) show up on Days as well.

Days also almost always does well when there's snow and ice blanketing half the country and schools are out.

I swear, it doesn't matter who's writing DOOL, if NBC were to move it to 4 PM, it would be HUGE. It might even give GH a run for its money at 3 PM.

Oh, absolutely. I didn't mean to imply NBC even had the capability to move Days to a later slot. They'd never get those hours back from the affiliates now. Just saying that it's a young person's show and always seems to get higher ratings when the kids are home.

    • I agree. For now. I am sure in a year's time...a new family (or old) will start to appear on the show. 
    • There's some irony in Philip being forgiven, because it forces everyone to admit that Victor was wrong to change his will.  Everyone, eventually including Xander, (I presume), seems to think it was wrong for Victor to divide his estate in Xander's favor.  I appreciated Stephanie forgiving Philip, because she's got no skin in that game.  But, Belle's line about Philip missing Xander because he misses Bo did not ring true.  I think Philip would be sad if Bo dies, but I think he's more concerned currently about Xander. I am enjoying this EJ mystery so much that I am hereby taking a vow not to read spoilers.  I am also vowing — for the last time — to stop harping on this, but: the concept of a “sepsis treatment” remains absurd. Hospitals prevent sepsis through vigilant infection control; once sepsis sets in, it causes multiple organ failures. Treatment involves supporting each failing organ individually. The notion that a single medication could magically reverse organ failure is medically laughable. However, I like the contrast of Kim going through cancer, which is incurable in their universe.  Kayla's comment on the health of both of her siblings was both heartbreaking and an interesting twist.  MBE is also totally underrated.  She is carrying the weight of so many stories.   And, I like the use of Kayla as an audience surrogate.  She's arguably the most "real" person in Salem. Kayla isn't psychic, she wasn't SORASed, she's not a billionaire, and she doesn't have a bionic eye.  So, I enjoy that we get her perspective of the nuttiness that surrounds her. However, I don't get what gives her the authority to turn down EJ's offer.  I understand that they need a hospital figurehead to show us scenes of the competition to buy the hospital.  But, unless the entire administration has been let go, the Chief of Staff wouldn't make those choices.
    • But why worry about something that might not happen? Right now, most things revolve around the Duprees. We have no idea if or how long that will continue. For now, it's working.
    • The Duprees not having any staff is a bugbear for me. They've included the background staff at the Country Club but no one at the Dupree home. Even just an extra bringing in a tray of food/drinks or responding to a request from Anita would suffice.
    • 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!
