Hopefully not too off topic, but LMAD no longer airs in my area. When GL went off the air, the Doctors moved to 3pm and LMAD was on at 10am, this week The Doctors talk show is on at 10am and 3pm now... Did CBS pull LMAD all together, or was it just certain markets?

The way I read the dailies (if anything can infact be inferred from dailies) for Y&R is that alot of people decided to check it out on Monday and 3/4 of those "new" viewers were impressed enough to watch again on Tuesday. But by Wednesday most of them were gone as the show trended back down to previous week viewership totals. B&B on the other hand, may have actually retained a fair number of those extra viewers who tuned in on Monday.

Please don't generalize people. You'd be surprised how many people do care. I don't care who likes them or hates them, but they are the show's most popular couple. Who's going to take their & JAmanda's place? JR/Marissa, Erica/Ryan, Tad/KWAK, Rylee? Talk about snoozefest central. Let's talk when people tune out in droves ;)

In a positive way? I do love how haters love to spin things, it's so amusing. Fact is Z/K have brought in good ratings when they've had a good story.

Stand corrected. People will care it just won't negatively impact the ratings. I personally don't find any of the couples on AMC special. They need a complete overhaul IMO. And no I don't think there is any couple or potential couple on the show remotely interesting.

I'm on Jane's side. Surprise, surprise. :lol:

ZendallFan, I want you to point out when they've had good story and pull up the ratings for the exact week(s) you are talking about.

And we don't want another couple taking their place. We don't need another pathogenic twosome on this show.

I never cease being amazed by how fan bases think that their couple or character is the only reason people watch the soaps so if they leave the ratings and viewership will collapse. The departure of John and Marlena proved this fan base ideology wrong. The impending departure of Victor and Nikki and Zach and Kendall will show the same thing. Most people watch for good storytelling and solid writing, they won't tune out because any one or two people leave. Days is the perfect example.

You know, I think Zendall Fan has a point. There are a lot of fans who are tied up exclusively in Zendall and they may drop the show once they go. On Days, people were completely burned out by John & Marlena; Patch & Kayla were essentially wallpaper. On AMC, the show revolves around Minshew and Kaye. Just like Y&R is built around Victor Newman and everybody's reaction to him. I think both shows are going to take a hit. Y&R's might be bigger than AMC's, though.

Damn. GH. It is tumbling! And it really isn't all that bad at the moment.

    • Cady had a fairly posh accent or manner as Rosanna - the character was a 180 from Dixie when she went to ATWT, and it was a huge success initially. As someone mostly only familiar with the nagging, miserable or clueless Dixie of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s it was what convinced me Cady could act. I thought she was incredible in her first run. Later, in future stints, her hair and story and performances were all over the place but a lot of that was down to the show for me. She brought some of Rosanna back with her to Dixie in her ill-fated return and a lot of people didn't like it, which I understood but I did think the character needed some change. I think she's had a little bit of the same persona and arch performance in every role she's played since, including Jennifer Horton at DAYS or Kelly at Y&R, who later became a maniac and was easily the worst work I've ever seen Cady do. It has kind of infected her overall mannerisms, I'll allow that, but I do think she brought Dixie back together as herself while still evolving the character when she returned to AMC again in 2012-13. Nonetheless, for me the upshot is that this is a character where Cady's kookier recent performance style suits the role. But I can understand it grating for people.
    • Yeah, Loretta Swit's passing stings. My late dad LOVED the show (he died last November) and watched it religiously. In first run and repeats.  And I was literally born the day after the show's premiere, so I grew up with it! I know many loved later, softer Margaret, but I loved Early Hot Lips. In real life, I'm all for less misogyny, but to me, the early years of M*A*S*H were just funnier. May Loretta Swit rest in peace. Thanks for all the memories connected to my dad!

    • I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.

    • And here I thought I'd never think about Lauren Tewes again after her brief appearance in Twin Peaks Season 3.
    • I may be the single person who does not mind Transatlantic Campy Pamela. I think it perfectly suits this sort of Absolutely Fabulous-esque supporting character she's playing much more than it did when Cady tried weird and often broad stuff at AMC* or Y&R, or later stints at ATWT. She's not Dixie and she's not trying to be. I will freely admit some of the other chances she took at other shows often came off stiff, hammy or downright mortifying (Kelly Andrews, come on down). (* - and I say that as one of the few who was somewhat into Cady trying to make Dixie more cosmopolitan in the Rosanna Cabot mold in mid-2000s AMC, just to liven the character up again)
    • There’s absolutely nothing exciting happening storyline wise but I’m always happy to see the vets on my screen so I’ll take what I can get. It’s also just nice to see them all dressed up in the same room, it always gives classic Y&R vibes. The best part? No Phyllis.

    • Well now we had Ashley's reaction-and weren't we all gasping when she appeared to hate it-but she was just joking!! She loved it. Now we have to see Abby's reaction, and maybe Mamie could come back to say she loves it. How about Jill via Zoom giving her opinion (she'll love it) and bring in a day player to play Mrs Martinez to say she loves it also... I feel bad to keep dumping on this show (not really) but when the choices they make are so inane, it's the only entertainment value the show has. Let's unpack the Nikki birthday story. So Claire wants to throw her Nana a birthday bash as away of endearing Kyle to Victor. Don't quite get the logic there,but OK. She hires a party planner who makes ridiculous suggestions. Slightly annoyed that Y&R are hiring someone for this role for 5 episodes when we never see doctors, co- workers etc. But OK to that to. With all the talk we are expecting something special. What we get is the Jazz Lounge hideously decorated with some ugly tablecloths and a few tacky decorations. They needed a planner for this? Then the guest list consists of family members (no grandchildren)and a few others. Hardly a party. As usual the costuming is pretty awful. A red and black theme ? And our guest of honor is sporting a do that looks like a cross between Cameron Diaz in Something about Mary and Marie from Roxette. They should have had an intimate dinner and ditched all the fanfare. Would have been way more believable.
