You'd think Goutman would have hit the panic button already and started doing something about ATWT. Getting Martha back to ATWT and firing a whole lot of useless characters plus firing Pissant ass!! No....bringing more ABC ousters to ATWT.....great going Goutman. Let ATWT to continue to bleed in the ratings. Goutman is a hack of an EP.

How about the 0.3 for ATWT in the 18-34 women category.

Keep wishing. I have a feeling it's going to gain momentum during July and especially August.

Not trying to downplay that success, but DAYS was number one in women 18-34 even when it was in danger of cancellation. (I think PASSIONS was number 2 in that demo when it was canceled).

For some reason, the networks (or at least NBC) don't seem all that excited about that demo.

NBC and DAYS have a strange relationship. I think NBC wants to keep DAYS, but they want Corday to give it to them really, really cheap. If NBC can remain healthy and even gain some more momentum, I don't see NBC playing as hard to get as usual. If they just remain healthy, it might be another tough negotiations.

It's easy to gloat about the ABC numbers but I see the death of daytime looking at them (ATWT is getting ready for it's funeral there) which doesn't particularly fill we with joy. AMC, GH have been spiraling since April (longer for GH). I do wonder if ABC or ABCD is going to do anything about this.

I'm probably dead-wrong in this feeling but I have an odd feeling that AMC might bring McTavish back in a last ditch effort (although I suppose Pratt was supposed to be the last ditch effort). I've said B&E and Pratt make McTavish look good but the thought of her returning kind of scares me (because then I start to remember the later years of her reigns).

Lol. I think they care even less about that tiny demo in daytime. PASSIONS was number one in that demo for virtually its entire run, right until its cancellation.

Daytime really seems to be stuck on that 18-49 demo, excluding all others. Despite the fact that the 18-34 demo is part of that 18-49 demo, it didn't save PASSIONS, and it almost didn't save DAYS.

I'll tell you here in Tennessee (at least for the shows I watch) this area hasn't been doing much to help the ratings of the afternoon soaps in the last few weeks. They have been preempted more than they have been on. I know that Days usually airs in the early morning hours but some of them don't get aired at all when they are pre-empted.

They have been preempted for weather alot and then Obama and then today due to the press conference from the Titans coach.

Just about all the soaps have been affected some but GH, GL and Days (which air against each other) have gotten the worst of it.

      I definitely think FV wanted to pair Kristina and Lucky.  Why else would Lucky decide to become a bartender at her stupid bar?  Lucky was a cop, a crusader?-whatever he was doing in Africa and all these years away.   It makes zero sense for him to just be content tending bar for some flakey girl he knew since she was born.  Have him work with Spinelli at PI firm or something.  There were also some scenes with Kristina and Lucky that seemed like the show was leaning in that direction.  I also suspect JJ was extremely unhappy with that idea lol. As far as Lulu, I certainly don't miss the JMB smug era.  I hate that BLQ looks like a poor, innocent victim being tortured by Lulu at every turn though.

      I do think she's been pretty wrecked, having tried to kill someone in cold blood, letting her whole family (including the woman pregnant with her great-grandchild) get charged or questioned, and having no remorse, but it doesn't matter as much because Kathy has not existed as a character since Gillian's return anyway.  There are reasons to bring Max back, like Lauren and his not knowing he had a child with Linda, but he is exhausted, with Jake Wood phoning it in years before he left.  I am a little surprised about Zoe because Michelle Ryan said for years she didn't want to return, to the point of even asking the show to recast the role, but I guess this may only be a short stint. I wouldn't be shocked if they kill Zoe off.

      Completely agree with you. I think Bonita Brisker has been really good as Sharon. What Anita did was obviously awful, so she doesn't need to reign anything in. We're getting a good look at someone who's struggled in life compared to Anita "We're the Duprees!" Williams.   -- Anita is starting to look foolish for dredging all this up just so she  can get her ass back on stage. Is she so delusional she doesn't realize how she hurt Sharon and Tracy? -- Anita's line to Vernon "How can I expect Sharon to forgive me when I haven't forgiven myself" struck me as really selfish. After all that with Sharon, Anita again made it all about herself. -- Does anyone really believe Anita wants equal billing if the Articulettes reunite?  -- Colby Muhammad continues to be a standout. Her Kat more than holds her own with Leslie. -- The writing was very good for the father/daughter scene between Ted and Eva. It wasn't so good between Ted and Martin in their father/son scene. It didn't play like family to me, especially when Ted referred to "my wife" when talking about Nicole to Martin. -- Overall, a very solid show today.

      I honestly do not see the point of Max coming back again. Zoe does not surprise me. I've been waiting for that since Bionic Woman flopped in the US, frankly. I'm not against it vs. some other pointless returns. Some returns work and some don't, some are just there. Like, am I grateful that Kathy is alive? Yes, absolutely. Do I love any of her stories? No. But she's not utterly destroyed, she's just there.

      I think Frank probably wanted to try for Jonathan with Kate Mansi. I actually can't knock the idea of a Lucky/Kristina affair or flirtation on paper, as a romantic obstacle to LNL2, but not with the characters in the places they are at present or have been over the last few years. It would be a mistake to do right now and would poison the well. I think Jonathan probably made it clear when he came back that he wanted what had been promised to him years ago with Elizabeth, and between his not being one of FV's preferred focal leads and Liz being a grudging afterthought if she's not with one of his OLTL stars, I suspect FV was content to leave them where they are vs. where they should be, which is central on the show. It's like I said a few days ago: A lot of this is how Lulu has always been. But back in the day the issue was that Lulu (and Carly) were deified for it, whereas now it's that Lulu is just used as the heavy because FV has a preexisting favoritism for Setton/BLQ. And that's a waste of a key character and talent, namely Alexa Havins.

      Melanie Smith was very difficult to replace, but as KMH did last for a long time, she clearly managed to do so. I preferred Melanie, but the main issue with Kelley is I just think she was horribly written for most of the time. Initially the writing wasn't horrible, it's more she was not the right choice, but over time the writing genuinely became awful, and unplayable, with a few exceptions (I think her pairings with Chris and Hal worked and got to take her in some new directions).

      Coming into June and...   TRASH. Or as I like to say for moments like this...HUNNI, WHAT IS THIS?   Outside of seeing Traci come home...and then...Ashley...not a darn thing is going on. So they are clearing stalling now, aren't they? It really hit me during the Phyllis/Daniel scenes. It was feeling like a B&B scene where two characters have the same repetitive conversation. And I have not seen Phyllis/Daniel scenes in that light lately so yeeeeah NOPE.   I did like the touch of Traci arrived outside of the Abbott mansion door and taking a breath and looking around. Very aftereffects of Martin. And I liked her and Diane having their conversation about Martin. I wished JG had allowed Traci to stay in town to deal with her feelings about Martin so at least we are getting some follow-up on that.    And same with Ashley and her talk with Jack. I will take Eileen Davidson anyway I can get her. Dare I say...will she be around for the Dumas reveal?   Outside of...   Kyle, Claire, and Harrison in a park IS NOT a storyline.   Sharon having to use the phrases (and in text) with Nick dinner as friends IS NOT a storyline.   Giggly Heffa giggly-heffa-ing around town IS NOT a storyline.    With Damian MIA and my love of Eileen Davidson...I might just go on break until the Dumas reveal if this is how we are starting June.

      Dragging this quote over from the Texas thread just because it shows a reference to Bay City as a fictional location at least as early as 1981. It doesn't quote Gail Kobe as saying it directly but the point she is making about the Houston setting of Texas does seem to take it for granted that Bay City is not real.
