These ratings are just horrible. GH just a month ago had 2,658,000 total viewers. Now look at it- and the summer slow down is just starting. I know they expect great things with Franco and Vanessa both coming back, but I have my doubts for sustainable increases in viewership. Franco was a bust last time IMO. JJ returning was supposed to bring back the legions of Liz/Lucky fans but I haven't seen them. Now at least the focus will be less Michael, but will go from Franco, Franco, Franco in July to Brenda, Brenda, Brenda come August.

Bell shows are hanging on but B&B is falling apart ranking near the 2.1 danger point. Was just thinking about how bad ATWT ratings would have been without B&B as a lead in. Most shows get some sort of carry over when following a 'hit' but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

OLTL seems to be doing pretty well and especially in demos. I guess the KISH story was turning off viewers. I am starting to wonder if gay stories really work on daytime. Soap viewes seem to be a different breed and I wonder how the typical str8 stay at home wife really feels about queer story. Soaps are all about fantacy but for a lot of these people Nuke might be more like their worse nightmare. Also, the male demos -are really bad for ATWT and, until Nuke, they were always at number 3 or 4. A gay guy like me loves it but a born again soccer mom might flip the channel.

Will a lot of viewers really want to watch day in and day out of Pentonville, smug asexual Lante and the 40 year old vixen with the bad accent, Liz being even dumber than usual, and day after day of "Sonny is verbally abusive but he doesn't mean to be."

JJ's return has been a bust, he has had nothing to do other than sometimes give self-righteous lectures and cry. They destroyed anything that was left of L&L2 and the only other option is a series of women who barely have a character to play (Claire, Maya) or a Spinelli appendage (Maxie) on a show that doesn't know how to do romance anyway.

Franco's first story caused a ratings dive and I'm not sure this time will be any different.

I'm sure Vanessa Marcil might bring in some viewers but probably nowhere near as many as she did the last time. A lot of those fans have moved on for good, and Jason, the guy the show will probably twist Brenda into a pretzel to pair him with, has become a humdrum hulk of nothing.

      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)

      Y&R: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      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.

      Y&R: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      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.

      Her accent sounds horrible and doesn't fit in line with the character or the dialogue. I was just messing around on YouTube and perusing early Tad and Dixie videos. Notably, Dixie, a resident of Pigeon Hollow, West Virginia, has no discernible accent. i have no idea why she would add a defunct accent to this character now. I want to do an honest survey here. I watch BTG every day and I love it. It's not perfect, but I find it 99% entertaining. For those that find fault with it - what is actually bothering you? I'm not going to argue at all, or disagree with you. I just want to know what others are seeing that I'm not.

      It's a choice and today, she made it more British than ever before. It's almost like she's making Pamela act like how she thinks she should be acting.
