What happened last week on B&B??

I hadnt realized how bad Y&R and B&B have dropped from last year. Y&R close to a million viewers lost...ouch!!

Someone at CBS must be smiling...Les anyone

DAYS has poor ratings because the writing is bad... it's that simple. The same five characters (Sami, Rafe, EJ, Nicole, and Taylor) take up so much of every episode and it's been that way since the Fall. The ridiculousness of the Imposter Rafe storyline and how worn out the love triangles amongst those five have become is the reason for the record lows the show has been doing.

WOW! That's so strange OLTL is growing in viewership and its getting canceled? The cancellation decision had to been an old decision made a couple of years ago.

Les hates soaps and I remember him being happy about ATWT's cancellation. I have no idea why CBS still airs soaps if they don't want them. Like people have been saying lately B&B needs to find a new home before 2013 gets here. Their doing too well overseas to be worried about staying on CBS.

It was atrociously disgusting last week with Amber slutting her way into seducing Liam. It was just...weird, strange, & inappropriate all rolled into one. Amber's GROSS dialogue was the worst. I don't blame viewers for tuning out...it was bad. But it's been pretty good this week.

OLTL also has higher demos than DAYS. It's number three in all key demos, after Y&R and GH, and within a tenth of point of GH in both 18-49 and 18-34....and only 100,000 less in women 18-49 viewers, yet 200,000 more than both AMC and B&B, and 100,000 more than DAYS.

And it got cancelled. :lol:

Talk about bad business.

Amber had sex with Liam. The scenes were really more revolting than it sounded. Then we had her gushing to Oliver over the phone about her sexcapades and then in another episode she and her trashy mother, Twny were trading notes and bragging about how skanky she was and how they are using it to gold dig. Amber even tried to go for a round two by attempting to seduce Liam again. It was all just so sleazy

Yeah, I said before I don't have a horse in this race since I haven't watched either AMC or OLTL in many years, but it is actually pissing me off looking at these ratings, lol. You have this cast/crew working hard to do well for ABC...and turns out they actually HAVE....and they get dumped despite having higher demos than most of the shows still on the air--the unowned shows on other networks.

This may be the first time I've ever seen a soap get canceled in daytime with higher demos than other shows that remain.

    • In regards to the Reva vs Erica discussions... I think there was one main difference between the two characters.... Erica never took over/ate up airtime on All My Children.  While she was a larger than life character, she never took over the show and there were times she was even supporting and not the lead.... while Reva basically suffocated Guiding Light in the later years with her presence.
    • That was such a missed opportunity, especially with May sweeps.  And, it would’ve been a much better story for Naomi/Jacob than whatever’s going on with June 
    • https://www.hulu.com/hub/tv/collections/9979 Amazed! But loving it. What this shows is GH Hulu out of top 15, GH is #2 & this was Saturday. Are we happy campers? Yes, at least for the moment, you bet we are.
    • I forget his name but Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth had the EP on after they didn't understand the 60s flashback episode due to the lack of original music. He felt that was one of his strongest episodes so he came on to explain to them just how much the music changes hurt the series. Basically, they only allowed him to pick a selection of episodes he felt the music was vital and other than that they didn't bother to save the music.  They kept music for prom and things like the Color Me Badd episode and for most of the musical acts but any music you loved from the opening of the show or just music played in random scenes was cut.  I know there are also some scenes cut but I don't know too much about that. The most glaring one was Clare's final scene being cut which is obviously a huge problem for a character who'd been around for so long. Overall I was able to enjoy my rewatch using the DVDs but without all of the original music it isn't nearly as good a show.
    • Too many returns, that's when you know a show has run out of ideas and doesn't care anymore.  Zoe annoyed the sh!t out of me most times, but the Kat/Zoe storyline will always be iconic and close to my heart (that's the era I first started following the show in near real-time), and probably the only storyline in 21st century EastEnders that had long-term value for the characters involved during their initial run together. However, after all this time and the writing choice that Zoe never wants to see Kat again, I think that ship has sailed and I don't know that it makes sense to revisit it at this point. 
    • Former EastEnders star Michelle Ryan is reprising her role as Zoe Slater on the BBC soap following an absence of over 20 years.  It’s been reported that Zoe will return to Albert Square later this year and that she’ll take centre stage in a dramatic new storyline involving her family.  The news comes amidst news of other big returns, which include Max Branning (Jake Wood), Tanya Cross (Jo Joyner), Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) and Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden), who will also be back in Walford later in the year.
    • I actually love the new fashion.
    • Admittedly, I was a latecomer to ATWT (first becoming a regular viewer in 2000). But I really liked KMH's Emily. I thought she was a very specific kind of neurotic professional character, and I loved her prickly relationship with MM's Susan. I will say I don't think the show did her any favors after Hal died, stranding her in storylines with several of the show's dullest characters: nu-Paul, nu-Meg, and nu-Dusty. I actually quite liked one of her last major storylines, when she discovered she had a grown-up biological son with Larry named Hunter. But then Hunter just sort of disappeared, and the story fizzled out, which was pretty typical of the late Goutman years. 
    • I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.
    • Well, her staff pointing out the movie connection never seemed to stop Long from using those plots.  She was right about Vanessa--she needed a man who loved her, which she'd never really had up to then. But as others have pointed out, Long borrowed heavily from Taming of the Shrew to get it done. (which while I kinda disputed that, I get more now, having watched Kiss Me Kate a few times since.)
