Members Scotty Posted October 11, 2010 Members Share Posted October 11, 2010 You know, I have always found it stupid how ABC reveals so much in their daytime and primetime promos anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted October 11, 2010 Members Share Posted October 11, 2010 Agreed! Why watch the show when you can see the big moments in the promos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted October 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 11, 2010 Its to get people to watch. Spoilers = ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 11, 2010 Members Share Posted October 11, 2010 Will anyone care? This is the fourth time in a year and a half Starr has been taken hostage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted October 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 11, 2010 I dont think he was refering to Starr but rather Danielle finding Tea alive. I didnt think anyone would find her till Nov sweeps. If I want already watching this show, seeing this promo would definetly get me to tune in. My viewing OLTL is solely depdendent on Tea. I stopped watching for almost 5/6 months and only started again when I read she was going to die. I dropped it when she did and came back when I saw she was back. Spoilers do help bring viewership in. It sucks for those who watch, but a promo like this is aimed at getting those who arent necesasrily watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 11, 2010 Members Share Posted October 11, 2010 The times that Tea and Danielle were at her most prominent, like fall 2009, were also the time of ratings drops, so I wonder how many are thrilled with this big return. I think people would rather see Tea in another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted October 11, 2010 Members Share Posted October 11, 2010 For every person who comes and goes with a certain actor/character, there's someone else who wishes they would just write a decent [!@#$%^&*] story already. I say that as someone who's been both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted October 12, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 12, 2010 your missing the point. It isnt simply about Tea and Danielle. The question was posed was a general one about why ABC reveals so much spoilers in their promos for their daytime AND primetine shows. They do it to get people to want to tune in. This isnt limited to Tea and Danielle. They do it for all their shows. Like revealing that GH's Sonny was going to shoot his son all over the network's schedule before it air or last week AMC's Annie jumping into bed with JR. They do this stuff to let viewers who arent watching that a big moment is about to happen so they might be likely to tune in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
