THIS is the show that ABC will probably cancel OLTL for next year?! Seriousky?!

Nice to see DAYS rising and the only soap up on last year. I guess when you stop trying to do big, shocking storylines or gimmicky events all of the time and just focus on good, old fashioned soapy storytelling, the viewers will come. And stay.

I'm glad DAYS is out of the 1's, though I can't imagine why... the show is just so... pointless. There's just so many new faces and a lack of real true energy, intensity, etc... which equals no drive for me to watch.

I hope their numbers sustain til Carly and Vivian return (dare I hope they hit No. 2 after their returns?)

Days was a show I once never missed a moment, and now I skip entire episodes. It's been a year or more of non-stop EJ and Nicole, and their freaking baby can go away also! It's a secret? Ok, so don't talk about it every day! Isn't there a story these characters can star in? Do they have to discuss this ridiculous baby every day for two years?

How people say this is a good soap opera is beyond me. We lost the ever fab Jan Spears and Bonnie Lockhart for this?

I love Kate, I love Victor, but it has ceased to be enough.

    • 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. 
    • I can actually buy Brook Lynn being so self-absorbed and incurious that she never thought to question why her mom and grandma were so attached to Gio.
