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.

    • 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.

    • 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.
    • I cannot believe there is a whole storyline about the Abbott house renovation. They really are grasping over at Y&R. I don’t see a big difference in the set. It is refreshed. Why make a storyline out of it? 
    • Cady is using what sounds like a transatlantic accent which is so odd these days. Sharon's hostility is entertaining already. That look she gave Anita when she opened the door was pure attitude.
