David's return didn't happen until the end of the 11/22 episode. The week of 11/15 was more preface to impact in both the R/G/D story and the Zach's death story.

I think there was about a 5,000 total viewers difference between the 3 soaps.

If AMC isn't able to do something further with what they started on that ratings week I don't know what to say. Whatever the writing was or wasn't, they put together a string of explosive moments going into this week. GH needed a butt load of special Brenda/Dante commercials to just go into 2.4 to 2.5 million territory in viewers for just a week or two so I'm not thinking an up for last weeks AMC is even a guarantee.

LOL! You and I feel the same way except that you're so sweetly tentative about it while I will proudly state that as long as this show continues to pimp Rylee at the expense of everything else, I don't care if they cancel it tomorrow. In fact I'd have no problem walking into that studio with an eviction order and a team of repo men and telling everyone they had an hour to pack. (Except for SuLu, Vincent, Jill, Debbie, Darnell and MEK. I'd give them the day.)

I simply don't have enough loyalty towards any show to reward the level of hubris and incompetence AMC is currently guilty of.

Crapola ratings for all shows. Not a big surprise....a 1.8 now gets you 3rd place.

GH may be the least watched show but OLTL still has the lowest HH number.

AMC finally went up in demos....I saw last week and enjoyed some of it but still thought the David return was so lame.

There really is no big difference in ratings from 3rd to 6th place...The ABC soaps have almost the same pathetic rating.

Yeah AMC got a little bump!!! Oh & these numbers are not for the week of David's return. That week was the Rylee :jeal0002: reunion & Zach' death. :wub: :wub: :lol:

I'm hoping with Zach dead FINALLY!!!!,..... hopefully we'll move past the wretched "grieving" soon & OTHER characters will have a chance to be on!!!

    • Cady had a fairly posh accent or manner as Rosanna - the character was a 180 from Dixie when she went to ATWT, and it was a huge success initially. As someone mostly only familiar with the nagging, miserable or clueless Dixie of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s it was what convinced me Cady could act. I thought she was incredible in her first run. Later, in future stints, her hair and story and performances were all over the place but a lot of that was down to the show for me. She brought some of Rosanna back with her to Dixie in her ill-fated return and a lot of people didn't like it, which I understood but I did think the character needed some change. I think she's had a little bit of the same persona and arch performance in every role she's played since, including Jennifer Horton at DAYS or Kelly at Y&R, who later became a maniac and was easily the worst work I've ever seen Cady do. It has kind of infected her overall mannerisms, I'll allow that, but I do think she brought Dixie back together as herself while still evolving the character when she returned to AMC again in 2012-13. Nonetheless, for me the upshot is that this is a character where Cady's kookier recent performance style suits the role. But I can understand it grating for people.
    • Yeah, Loretta Swit's passing stings. My late dad LOVED the show (he died last November) and watched it religiously. In first run and repeats.  And I was literally born the day after the show's premiere, so I grew up with it! I know many loved later, softer Margaret, but I loved Early Hot Lips. In real life, I'm all for less misogyny, but to me, the early years of M*A*S*H were just funnier. May Loretta Swit rest in peace. Thanks for all the memories connected to my dad!

    • 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)
    • 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.
