For all the cheering for DAYS, which is good, how about Y&R's amazing consistency: Y&R is still over 5 million, while DAYS (even with resurgence) & GH are still WAY down.

[Eric83]

Yeah I have noticed that too. Which goes to show Y&R has the most loyal audience of all the soaps. It takes alot for them to go away.

Was that week the start of the Melaswen storyline when Marlena woke up on the island? I remember I was so psyched for that week, then LoL.

[SnCCorinthos4ever]

Wasn't the SSK storyline years ago, or am I thinking of a different SSK.

The one that I am thinking of is when the stalker was played by Jake Coleman, he played the bother of Chris Kosiceck (sorry about the spelling) and he killed Samantha thinking it was Marlena.

That is really good. 2 months ago:

12/28/09.....1.....3.9.....11.....1) 2.0/11.....1) 5,580,000

Higher than more than 5 years ago, not typical at all.

[Eric83]

I think that happened earlier in the month for May Sweeps. They were probably 2nd place that week too, and just held down that spot the entire month.

I am talking about the one where Marlena killed 9 people, and they all ended up alive on an island named Melaswen.

Amazing. I can see Y&R outlasting all the soaps for awhile.

[Mr. Vixen]

No, I was talking about ATWT and DAYs together! I am enjoying both....Kind of new to ATWT tho...And almost hesitant to get too attached, since it is ending so soon

[AS THE WORLD TURNS]

Ok thanks.

Here's the DAYS transcripts for the last weke they were in 2nd place in total viewers:

Does indeed sound like New Salem spelled backwards story.

ETA: Marlena alive in a casket here (reading more) ... DAYS and their buried alive stories, heh. Yeah I stopped watching DAYS in late 2002 so right before New Salem or New Salem, I'm not sure.

[Toups]

Agreed. I'm very impressed by their demos: "156th time in 157 weeks and first in women 18-49"

Yes, I believe it was. I was so psyched too. Too bad things started to do way down after that week. *sigh* Damn you Ken Corday and Stephen Wyman for handcuffing Reilly.

[Mr. Vixen]

This is very random, but does anyone know where i can watch good videos of the Melaswen/New Salem story?

I was only an occasional viewer then, and I missed some big chunks, and would like to see what I missed...

[Toups]

Yeah, ATWT last again. AMC and OLTL had huge weeks.

[AllMyDaysatGH]

Thanks for that...that was the most surreal week ever, I was glued to my television!!!

I started watching about a year before that storyline...I remember it basically, but I would love to watch it from the start again.

YouTube helps a lot, if you just look up "Melaswen" there's tons of videos from DAYS during that storyline.

If only SOAPnet aired those episodes at a specific time or something everyday. I would love that

[AS THE WORLD TURNS]

Thanks for letting me know. Is it really bad. Did they lose alot.

[Eric83]

YAY!
