They did go up last year when Starr was held hostage by the Russian drug dealers so that probably helped but I do think Kim deserves a good deal of the credit. I also think that the news that her story would focus on the vets helped too.

I am going to echo the sentiments of others and agree that Zimmer had a hand in the increase, the woman has a pretty rabid fanbase from what I have seen. I think the current umbrella story on OLTL is horrible, but the climax of it has had me watching this week, so I am happy for such a big increase.

DAYS is just sad, but I don't think it's getting cancelled next year. I might even go out on a limb

and say I know it's not.

It's past due for OLTL to get a rise with all the not-dead stories as predictable as they are. It was a little delayed.

I don't know if characters, actors, couples or quality matter to AMC's ratings as much as Sam Champion and his friend Mother Nature does particularly looking at the following pattern for AMC...

UP: (Beginning of) November 2007 - (End of) February 2008 - Ratings over 2.6 million 11 out of 17 weeks

DOWN: March 2008 - (Middle of) September 2008 - Ratings over 2.6 million 2 out of 33 weeks

UP: (Middle of) September 2008 - (End of) March 2009 - Ratings over 2.6 million 18 out of 24 weeks

DOWN: April 2009 - (First week of) October 2009 - Ratings over 2.6 million 0 out of 27 weeks

UP: October 2009 - (First week of) March 2010 - Ratings over 2.6 million viewers 19 of 21 weeks

DOWN: March 2010 - October 2010 - Ratings over 2.6 million 0 out of 31 weeks

Sadly, I agree. It seems all ever goes on is someone having a secret, someone else discovering the secret, and something happening to stop the secret from coming out. Melanie discovering Chloe´s affair is the latest example. She spend two weeks arguing with everyone how she has to tell, only to deciding she will stay mum after all and the story returning back at starting point. It´s getting tired and it looks like we will see the same scenario once again next two weeks, but this time with Arianna.

Maybe there is a chance NBC will force Corday to fire Higley. They did it once, they could do it again. I would love to see this cast which I really like to be iject with some new and fresh energy.

I think it's 50-50 that DAYS is picked up in March for another year (Sep 11-Sep 12).

Lots of things up in the air at NBC at this point, with Comcast taking over, and Jeff Zucker being ousted. I don't think anyone can say for sure what someone new in charge will do regarding DAYS.

Too late. Even if they hired her tomorrow, she wouldn´t make it on screen till March. They just taped christmas so I assume all winter is already outlined and atleast partially scripted. And no way they will just throw everything away and start from scratch.

I told you all that OLTL would go up ;) The ex ATWT actors will only help, not hurt, as we move into the season. There were big gains in demos, younger people not so set in habit and willing to switch channels. OLTL will be #3 by December.

Y&R has hit a very rough patch and the sweeps stunt sucks. The current regime has proven able to write good story in the past but they need a staff shake up and a return of Josh Griffin--after he left, the show lost all pace. Funny, as the show shifts to a younger cast it falls in youth demos--huh

B&B is toast, enough said!

GH is doing well but is so boring.

Poor Days--even Vivian buried alive can't boost the show. I doubt anyone thought Days would be in last place behind AMC.

Finally, all the non-Bell soaps are so close in the ratings.

See, not all ATWT fans hate OLTL. STILL pissed my show is gone but OLTL isn't bad and shouldn't get bashed.

    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
    • Kinda agree. I have some issues with the sets. Nicole's living room is bland-looks like a display home. Bill and Hayley's is too small and basically hideous. And neither of them have a front door/entrance or staircase. People just appear from the corridor. Those green accents  at Uptown are way too much. Also,Naomi and Vanessa not having an office or a home .
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That Grainger story always reads like hog-wild melodrama, not very similar to the more subtle stories for Rita in her last few years. I wonder how Lenore played the material.
    • More from 1976 Lynn, apparently making every effort to overcome her alcoholism, accepts a baby-sitting job. However, when the baby starts crying, Lynn begins to get nervous and takes one drink, then another. By the time Bruce and Van arrive home, Lynn is on the floor, ineffectually trying to find the doctor’s number, sure the baby is ill. When the mother arrives; she vows to let everyone know what goes on in the mayor’s house.Bruce insists that Lynn has to go, but Van, learning that Lynn can’t remember drinking the cooking sherry, calls Joe to report Lynn’s blackouts. Joe wants her institutionalized but gives in to Van’ s pleas that Lynn needs loving attention. Eddie has sent some of Felicia’s work to a New |York gallery owner and reports to Charles that Lisa Cooper wants to exhibit Felicia’s work. Charles refuses to tell her this and later admits he feels he has “cowed”her attention because of his being confined to a wheelchair. What Charles doesn’t say is: that he’s plagued with fears she’ll leave him for another man. Felicia is exuberant as she starts painting again. She tells Charles how she feels about it, but, jealous of anyone or anything that takes attention from him, Charles tries to undermine her confidence. Eddie finally professes his love for her. He will be happy to step forward if she will only let Be and admit that they belong together. Charles tries to stop Felicia’s ‘trip to New York by making her doubt her own work, and when that fails, he finds business reasons at his bookshop to keep Di, his ex-wife, who is running it for him, from accompanying her. Felicia finally decides it’s not going to work and tells Eddie they might as well call it off. Instead, he arranges for Lisa Cooper to come to Rosehill. Charles is rude and insulting to Lisa when she arrives at the house to view Felicia’s work, and his derogatory remarks about shady gallery dealings prompt Lisa to tell Eddie that living in such an atmosphere could permanently stunt an artist’s development; if Felicia is subjected to this indefinitely, it’s not even worth Lisa’s while to take her on as a client. Felicia finally decides she can’t be torn apart any longer and must accede to Charles’s demands. She tells Eddie her career is over and she won’t paint any more, breaks down in his arms, crying bitterly, then pulls away, unwilling to acknowledge that her feelings for him are deeper than she dare face. Charles is delighted when she prepares to dispose of her art supplies, insisting everything will be fine once she has accepted that this part of her life is over. But she cannot do it. She promises him that he can set the limits and terms, but she must paint. Arlene discovers that her mother is planning to avoid the surgery she needs, and the accompanying medical bills, by leaving Rosehill and moving in with her sister Dorothy out west. Arlene manages to prevent this by calling her aunt and telling her the truth about Carrie’s condition. Dr. Tom Crawford has been footing the costs of Carrie’s presurgery tests, but Arlene knows that Carrie won’t like this. So she tells Carrie that David Hart, the son of Meg’s late husband, the former mayor, has heard about their plight and forwarded the money as a gesture of friendship, to be repaid when possible. To convince Carrie that she does indeed have the money, Arlene asks Ray to just lend it to her for a few hours, so she can convince Carrie and then immediately return it. Ray instructs her to get dressed for a night on the town and takes her, out implying that the money will be waiting at the end of the evening. When Ian Russell happens to join them, Arlene doesn’t suspect anything is afoot, but when e Ray suddenly leaves, she becomes furious, realizing what he’s done. But she finds Mr: Russell a distinguished and cultured man, and decides there’s no harm in having a drink. After cocktails and stimulating conversation, Ian suggests that they go to his place, and Arlene agrees. But when they get there, Ian matter of factly suggests that they skip the preliminaries and get on with it. Ian is embarrassed and annoyed to discover that Arlene is not a professional call girl and that Ray didn’t explain to her the purpose of their |meeting. He is apologetic and solicitous, until Arlene, explaining why Ray felt he could pull this on her, mentions her sick mother in need of an operation. Ian starts to laugh at this overworked standard line, and a livid Arlene storms out of his apartment. Thinking it over, Ian decides he’s more intrigued with Arlene than he is annoyed at Ray, and calls Ray for her telephone number. But Arlene is not delighted to hear from him, and he has to use a good deal of soothing charm before she agrees to have dinner with him at one of the better local restaurants.During dinner Ian again apologizes for his mistake, and he gives Arlene a diamond pendant as a token of his gratitude for her forgiving him. Ray arrives to interrupt an otherwise enjoyable evening with a business matter, and quietly reminds Arlene that Ian is his customer and she’s not to cut herself in with him. At home, Arlene examines the pendant and is convinced that it’s genuine. She hides it in her dresser drawer, unable to bring herself to show it to her mother.
    • LOL!! That's funny.  I actually thought he got a little better.
