Members j swift Posted December 7, 2022 Members Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) according According to this source, and Entertainment Weekly, Marlena's return made an immediate impact of a 10% increase in viewers, but I checked Jason's page and they finished 1991 in 7th place increase in viewershttps://t Please register in order to view this content witter.com/Jo I think it's odd that a 10% increase could cause a show to go from #8 to #2 in 1991, but the shows were quite close in ratings and after the initial interest fell off the ratings dwindled. All things considered they really fumbled that opportunity. I'd be interested to know how many viewers Hope's 1994 return pulled in, but I can't find that information as quickly. eiscool1981/sta tus/1289982420905730049?s=20&t=fsJ7ktvVuJwOHMM0bnxreAps://twitter.com/Joeiscool1981/status/1289982420905730049?s=20&t=fsJ7ktvVuJwOHMM0bnxreAhttps://twitter.com/Joeiscool1981/status/1289982420905730049?s=20&t=fsJ7ktvVuJwOHMM0bnxreA Edited December 7, 2022 by j swift 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted December 7, 2022 Members Share Posted December 7, 2022 You would think a jump from #8 to #2 would be more than 10% lol. But I think we can all agree the oppurtunity was squandered especially after Marlena/RoJohn's great pier reunion. RoJohn just left her in a flea bag motel and nothing really happened until RealRoman returned and even that was so convoluted. I think I have said here more than once that story somehow was so quick and not explained well but also seemed to drag on forever lol. There was also some weird stories happening at the time that weren't interesting to bring in new viewers. I don't want to get my time periods off and name them, but everything else happening was kind of boring unless you were a big Carly fan. I would like to know what the ratings were for Hope's return as well, but I think it's a bit of a different animal because 1. it was Kristian Alfonso returning not Hope specifically at the time and 2. the huge story arc of Maison Blanche was ending and I don't think it's as clear as Deidre Hall returning as Marlena. I don't recall anything "big" happening at the same time as her return. I do think the ratings were on an upswing back in 1994 though or at least they should have been because that was a great time period for Days. Hope/Gina's return seem to fit more seamlessly into to the show overall while Deidre's felt like Deidre as Marlena was returning if that makes sense lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members janea4old Posted December 7, 2022 Members Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) May 6, 1994 I found it via Jason47's former contract cast index https://www.jason47.com/days/formercastindex.html and then reading the entry for K.A.

Members carolineg Posted December 7, 2022 Members Share Posted December 7, 2022 Briefly skimming synopsis for that time the last week of May appears to be when Hope/Gina is revealed to all and the climax/ending of Maison Blanche (Roman saving John/Marlena, Tony getting blinded, Stefano's escape). The only other stories of note I could see was Sami's rape and Vivian finding out she's pregnant with Phillip. I think it's safe to say you can attribute at least some of the jump to KA's return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sapounopera Posted December 7, 2022 Members Share Posted December 7, 2022 Pacific Lives was an earlier project involving Jack, Jennifer and Tommy Horton, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted December 7, 2022 Members Share Posted December 7, 2022 I have old SOD's from 1991-1993, and after all the continuous speculation about Manhattan Lives, Coming Of Age, as well as the worry about Another World getting the ax and the last-ditch casting efforts to save Santa Barbara, it's pretty remarkable that we ended up with only 2 soaps by '93, both of which are the longest-standing shows. You would've thought for sure SB would've been replaced by a new sudser. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted December 7, 2022 Members Share Posted December 7, 2022 It is remarkable that nothing replaced SB. Which leads me to believe none of these pilots/developments were much good lol. And I still think it would be very risky to take Marlena/Carrie off Days for a spinoff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Planet Soap Posted December 11, 2022 Members Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) Cant remember the name but it had full storyline clips from the 80s through early 00s like John & Marlena's affair, 2 Roman's and the Posession. Its logo was pink. Edited December 11, 2022 by ironlion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Planet Soap Posted December 11, 2022 Members Share Posted December 11, 2022 Yes! that was the name! damn! I really wish I had taken the time to watch the Aremeid story and some of the Sami execution plot. Again, soak up as much SONY soap content as you can online before the copyright police come for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted December 11, 2022 Members Share Posted December 11, 2022 Yep. It's a never ending battle. I really admire the persistence of everyone who uploads Days clips and episodes though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
