The demise of GL means the death of soaps is almost here. I also hear ATWT won't be picked up after this last renewal. At least the Nuke fans will become less annoying once the show is off the air.

I know this, but hopefully the demise can be prolonged a little.

The last I heard, it was a rumor. If not, the last airdate will be in September 2010. Hopefully they can go out with a bang.

I am one of those 'annoying' Nuke fans. I'm sure I'll still be just as annoying when the show goes off air. :)

Fan groups are anywhere, daytime or primetime. Some are worse than others, but I don't think as a whole they're bad. When shows should worry is when 'annoying' fans disappear, and they're left with people who just don't care anymore.

Right, I agree. It's just his opinion that we're annoying, anyway. I'll take it with a grain of salt, nod, and smile. No use in getting worked up over it. I like what I like, and Nuke is what keeps me watching ATWT.

I like Nuke, or I do in some of their stories, when they have more consistent characterization. I can't see a lot of other shows even attempting to have any type of relationship between two men, and I think JS and VH work well together. This Zac/Zoe story isn't good, but overall I think Noah and Luke have been more positive than negative for the show. For me the baby stories and the Paul/Meg stories have been the most consistent flaw in ATWT, along with the lack of commitment.

Damn you guys....wanting me to eat fast food all the time. You don't care about my health! All you want are the ratings, eh! :P:lol:

What happened to CBS on Friday? Were there pre-emptions?

So much for AMC losing that 200,000 viewers.

I am so happy that even in the midst of the great Zendell breaking up that AMC continues to rise. I love it.

As to the subject of fan bases etc. I have nothing else to say other than I commend anyone who can watch a show for just one couple or actor or whatever. I can't do it and more power to anyone that can. I am not going to watch any show or movie or anything just because of someone or some couple. If the writing and the rest of stuff isn't there forget it.

No one has ever been a bigger fan of Doug & Julie on Days than I was but even on the special episodes that they come back now I don't even tune in. An actor or actress might get me to try a show out but if the show overall doesn't intrigue me and offer more than that actor or performer or couple, then forget it.

So good to see all the shows up in total viewers. Nice to see the middle of the pack shows Days, GH, OLTL, and AMC also up from last year.

On the other side of that coin, this also sort of proves that Kendall, Ryan, Zach focus can bring in the ratings (and I know as much as there's a personal Z/K thing here, there's also an anti the "popular" crowd sentiment here), heh. Ironic, and a little disturbing because seriously that whole story is muddled garbage right now.

He's got a point, Toups.

Any holidays, spring breaks last week? Or did all the soaps just get lucky?

    • 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.
    • 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!
    • Yeah.  The hot, poor bad boy with a chip on his shoulder but with a heart of gold was a common soap trope in the 80s

    • That's been an issue with me... the lack of a cohesive 'Have Not' crowd that has focus other than Leslie/Eva.   I would beef up Jan, Mona, Laura, Joey, and few other male characters.. and not just be out to overthrow the Duprees.. but co-existing and broadening the scope of the show since the show is called Beyond the Gates. I think the set up the show has with everything revolving around the Duprees will become predictable especially if they always win.   It would be like Victor Newman on Y & R for 40+ years.. always winning, hardly ever losing.   With MVJ/Guza.. both trained under that mindset... I fear that will happen.   I've always heard from a performer that is playing a character like Leslie/Dana that you have to find the victim/hurt beneath the surface in order to play a villain/villainess... and I think that's why I enjoy watching her.. because she brings so much more to the part than what the writers put on the page.
    • I figure that was really hard for Dom to do. I completely GET why they wrote it the way they did but I wonder if it was necessary. Meanwhile I have 2 really icky ideas in my head. Drew is going to blame Tracy KNOWING it was not her. Dante is going to blame Lulu.  After that, everyone else is going to be mad at Lois.  Tracy is going to double down on wanting to get rid of Sonny. Sonny's going to be more dug in to stay because he now has a new descendant.
