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.

    • 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.
