Members aMLCproduction Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 DAMN Y&R. The viewers may be there now, but those numbers will begin to fall. SO HAPPY FOR DAYS!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 I don't even remember what happened on Y&R last week to get a ratings increase. I'm glad DAYS hasn't gone back down yet. Usually they do when they have a big jump. I wonder if all the ABC soaps are still stalled in the same spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 A spike in Monday's ratings would be a good argument against ABC's practice of showing reruns on major holidays. I've never understood that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 While I understand (and agree) with what you're saying, I don't know if Columbus Day would be a good example, since a lot of people are at work/school on that day. It is not one of the big holidays like Memorial, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's. A spike in the ratings for one of those holidays might be a better argument. But other than that, ITA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted October 23, 2009 Members Share Posted October 23, 2009 But that's what I mean. If the viewership rises significantly on what is essentially a bank holiday then I think it's fair to assume it would at least remain steady on many of the other holidays. Not Thanksgiving or Christmas but definitely Labor Day and New Year's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted October 23, 2009 Members Share Posted October 23, 2009 Yep. Someone made a good point that it's sad when AMC's May sweeps storyline and their November sweeps storyline is the same: The murder mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 23, 2009 Members Share Posted October 23, 2009 So where are the ratings Toups?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 23, 2009 Members Share Posted October 23, 2009 That's 900,000 and 600,000 more viewers than they had as a total for last week. That's impressive for one day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 23, 2009 Members Share Posted October 23, 2009 AMC is such a mess, I don't know where their ratings come from. Then again you can say that about any soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted October 23, 2009 Members Share Posted October 23, 2009 I am convinced that the daily and weekly ratings are random fluctuations causled by external events. Only weeks where there is a stunt or the climax of a story is highly promotion do I believe that it is the story content bringing in viewers. All that said, nice to see Days keeping viewers and holding on in its demos as well as Y&R bouncing back so strongly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted October 23, 2009 Members Share Posted October 23, 2009 I wonder what will happen if Eric Braeden and Melody are really out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted October 23, 2009 Members Share Posted October 23, 2009 I think everyone will be surprised to discover that Y&R doing fine without Victor and/or Nikki. As much as soap fans love these characters, I think that they are so accustomed to cast changes and recast, they won't blink an eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 23, 2009 Members Share Posted October 23, 2009 I think the bigger problem beyond Victor and Nikki leaving is what they are leaving behind. I don't know if a lot of viewers will tune out because of their departure, but a few months of stories dominated by Amber, Adam, Nick, and Billy might do it for them.

Members JaneAusten Posted October 23, 2009 Members Share Posted October 23, 2009 I am thrilled with Days. What a success story there. If Victor leaves Y&R and the ratings don't changes, doesn't that mean that Sonny can leave GH and have the same impact? I look at what they did on Days(John, Marlena, Patch, Kayla) and I still think all these shows can keep some key vets, integrate them into stories, and bring on newbies gradually, integrating them into stories that way.

Members Ann_SS Posted October 23, 2009 Members Share Posted October 23, 2009 The thought of Sonny leaving GH makes me so happy. He can take Jason and Carly with him. Hopefully, Frons will be open to dumping Sonny, Jason and Carly, when Kendall and Zach leave AMC and the ratings don't go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
