So OLTL was last four of five days. Interesting. Great for World Turns. What's remarkable for DAYS is that several markets like Denver and St. Louis are showing it at 4 AM! I don't think that even qualifies it to count at Live + Same Day (think the cut-off is 3am). Too bad.

There's nothing great about ATWT increase. Yes, they went up in every demo and viewers...even up from last year but their HH's numbers didnt budge. The whole Dante mess was a big bust for ATWT. Oddly, when the vets all appeared on ATWT minus Lucinda...the show had the highest HH number and total viewers.

At least the ratings mean squat for ATWT now. It looks like it will remain last until its final week.

Good for AMC for not dropping that much and still being UP for the year. Down a bit in the Demos/Total Viewers. But that 2.4 is REALLY good to see. Also like Steve pointed out not dropping below 2.0

I bet people watched OLTL to see Stacey gone! :P I know I did! :D

As much as I currently dislike ATWT I have to give them more credit. Not being last in the total viewers and being UP over 100,000 viewers year over year. Good for them. Not going down without a fight.

Actually, I think Toups posted the numbers from last winter Olympics and the show actually lose viewers then too but I think it had a similar situation as this year with the Monday preemption and schedule shifting in some areas. I actually think Days' viewer count in 2006was very similar to what it is now so that goes to show you how far Days has come in the past year.

The only time in recent memory Days did extremely well during any Olympics was summer 2008 for that two week period.

World Turns still has a lot of life in the show. In the weeks just following cancellation, The show actually rose in the ratings and even managed to edge out GH in total viewers. ATWT is up over last year and there have been no defections. I think it is important to remember the the show came in at 4th place with a 2.4 for the 2007-2008 season, so not all that long ago, and only dropped when Goutman canned 5 major players in six months time and topped of the disaster with bad recasts and sloppy writing.

World Turns could be saved and movc up into the number 4 or, at the worst, 5 slot with a little bit of effort and promo. GL crashed after cancellation because the show was a mess but the World is a different situation. If I ran nbc, I'd be looking at the steady ratings and see a good opportunity.

The problem with ATWT though is that it does not perform in the demos. It's last in Women 18-49, 18-34, and girls 12-17. I don't mean this to put the show down. I hope all the soaps survive and I recognize that every show ebbs and flows in terms of creativity. I just don't think at this point, ATWT will be saved. What OLTL should do, as it's the only NY soap that will be left, is get rid of unnecessary characters (Langston, Markko, Brody, Schuyler, with Kim, Rachel, Stacy and Mitch already gone) and hire about 5 popular ATWT actors. Best way to capitalize on the viewers who normally watched a different show at the same time and make those fans happy. I would love to Maura West on OLTL or Austin Peck recast as Joey Buchanan.

As always, JMHO.

    • There's some irony in Philip being forgiven, because it forces everyone to admit that Victor was wrong to change his will.  Everyone, eventually including Xander, (I presume), seems to think it was wrong for Victor to divide his estate in Xander's favor.  I appreciated Stephanie forgiving Philip, because she's got no skin in that game.  But, Belle's line about Philip missing Xander because he misses Bo did not ring true.  I think Philip would be sad if Bo dies, but I think he's more concerned currently about Xander. I am enjoying this EJ mystery so much that I am hereby taking a vow not to read spoilers.  I am also vowing — for the last time — to stop harping on this, but: the concept of a “sepsis treatment” remains absurd. Hospitals prevent sepsis through vigilant infection control; once sepsis sets in, it causes multiple organ failures. Treatment involves supporting each failing organ individually. The notion that a single medication could magically reverse organ failure is medically laughable. However, I like the contrast of Kim going through cancer, which is incurable in their universe.  Kayla's comment on the health of both of her siblings was both heartbreaking and an interesting twist.  MBE is also totally underrated.  She is carrying the weight of so many stories.   And, I like the use of Kayla as an audience surrogate.  She's arguably the most "real" person in Salem. Kayla isn't psychic, she wasn't SORASed, she's not a billionaire, and she doesn't have a bionic eye.  So, I enjoy that we get her perspective of the nuttiness that surrounds her. However, I don't get what gives her the authority to turn down EJ's offer.  I understand that they need a hospital figurehead to show us scenes of the competition to buy the hospital.  But, unless the entire administration has been let go, the Chief of Staff wouldn't make those choices.
    • But why worry about something that might not happen? Right now, most things revolve around the Duprees. We have no idea if or how long that will continue. For now, it's working.
    • 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.
