I know people think AMC did not get any PR for their ending but thats not really true. Not only The View but remember AMC got some free publicity from Susan Lucci and her book signings and the various talk shows she appeared on as a result where they talked about the show ending also. And she also got that special segment on the CBS Sunday morning show. I know in Chicago also there was a special tribute on the local show preceeding The View on Friday AM with Walt Willey, Chrishell Stause and Terri Ivans appearing. I have never been a huge OLTL follower so without a Lucci I don't know if their show will garner the same attention. I did peak at GL's final week and they got a very similar ratings boost to AMC. And they also seemed to benefit from some better news coverage I would guess versus ATWT.

LOL! I guess I was reaching a bit. I'm not even trying to guess what OLTL's ending is going to be like but whatever it is, I'm guessing it will be a 90% PP ending whereas I think AMC was maybe 20-25% PP. I think OLTL will give a far better idea of what kind of creative product PP will offer both because of the timing and their increased involvement. I don't know what that means for a finale. They've already announced Cord and Tina, right? And they're back for decent stints so...who knows? AMC's ending was LB/AN but OLTL will (hopefully) give a real sneak peek into PP.

I used to like Jason and Sam but that was JMO a disappointingly DULL wedding and reception. But GH has been flat for months, with no story able to spike its numbers.

As for OLTL, their September numbers are down from August. And their 18-49 demos are now down from September 2010. So OLTL has been trending down even before losing AMC as a lead-in.

2011 Monthly averages:

Jan 2011 2,541,300 619,500

Feb 2011 2,601,316 647,250

Mar 2011 2,447,130 594,600

Apr 2011 2,598,048 670,000

May 2011 2,561,667 647,000

Jun 2011 2,552,636 644,400

Jul 2011 2,679,450 640,250

Aug 2011 2,840,739 735,400

Sep 2011 2,727,273 662,666

OLTL will NEVER get AMC's numbers for the finale. AMC is much more well known to the mainstream (as we all talk about repeatedly)

Re: The OLTL hitting # 1 part of this thread- OLTL did hit #1 in 1988 during the Patrick London storyline- I believe in July of 1988.

Now back to AMC- NICE job. The entire cast and crew should be proud. They deserve it.

Cannot wait to see how Days does.. Its ratings are quite depressing, but this is the show I never count out in the ratings..

IA. Way to go AMC! And OLTL is still going strong. I have to laugh at how poorly the soap Frons saved (GH) is doing. It's pretty embarrassing. And I agree that some BIG changes at GH should be made behind the scenes (fire JFP!) or just cancel the show already. It's painful to watch.

WTG AMC!!! Great numbers! I love that The Chew keeps losing viewers.

I agree it is quite hilarious to see OLTL and AMC in it's last week get way better numbers than GH. GH should have been cancelled. That's the soap that needs a huge overhaul. I had some high hopes for Garin Wolfe but aside from better character interactions, a little more heart, he's just Guza-lite. Though I give him props for writing better for the women. Skye has more fire in her than she had in years, Tracy has lots of storyline potentials, Monica is being used as she should be, Carly isn't so insufferable anymore and Alexis is no longer non existent.

OK, that does make sense, lol, and KINDA helps me understand your analogy (just don't give RC any story ideas for OLTL, please...)

Wait though--am I behind cuz of all this ratings news? Tina and Cord are a go for the PP version? I thought we weren't even certain yet how long they would stick around on the current version... I'd LOVE if they were tied to the online version, just as it would give it a few more ties to the past (while hopefully they take the actual current version in a different direction).

While I'm not fully sold on this reboot (my friend who has been a MASSIVE Days fan since he was five, and has never given up on the show--and similarly will never even think to try another soap, described it to me as "lipstick on a pig", though he's optimistic), DAYS is one of the few soaps that seems to have the type of fanbase that is always willing to check back in...

It's funny about the Patrick London/Bo double story--I've seen clips, and it's a lot of fun, so I can see why it was popular, yet it's one that's nearly always forgotten, compared to many, many other Rauch era stories.

For the brief period she was on, under Wolfe, anyway... (yes, I'm still a bit miffed she didn't return to AMC).

Well I was 10 years old or so, but I was never as addicted to OLTL as I was that summer. My god I loved it. I thought bringing back Bo, Didi, and Delilah in that bomb shelter was brilliant, you have the Elizabeth Sanders aspect, the evil twin (and Patrick was a REAL bastard- there was none of this comical campiness, excellent background music-lol, Tina thinking she was in a relationship with Bo, Pre Touched by An Angel Roma Downey!!!... the list simply goes on and ON! And a real death at the end that this little boy never expected!! I sobbed like a baby when Didi died. I felt like I got to know this woman all summer and they actually killed her. The suspense back then was real, and the show was campy yet completely serious- Loved it.

      I'm anticipating most of the cast at the Nice location for a few weeks a la the Tuscan villa for Victoria and Ashland's wedding. I don't know why they bother. I'd rather see the money going into more regular home/office sets. This party has been a bust. No secrets revealed, break ups  etc. Ugly decorations and I'm going to slam the costuming again. Just the guests heaping praise on  Nikki  like she's achieved some magnificent milestone rather than just getting a year older.

In the loving arms of his wife, Dr. Marlena Evans, John took his last breath at the end of the June 2 episode, after suffering devastating internal injuries during a lab explosion. The iconic character went out as he lived — a hero. Sensing the fans’ devastation on Monday, Marlena’s portrayer Deidre Hall posted this simple-but-powerful message to fans on Instagram: “I know. I know. Hardest day ever.”

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      Now coming into June...well...   I knew it was coming but I didn't like the start to the next round of Dani/Bill/Hayley. As the 3 A plots from the start of the show (The SilkPress storyline and Martin's Secret being the other two), it needed to be benched for a while to develop those characters and allow other characters and storylines to grow. 3 months in, Hayley is the weak link, Dani is still divisive, but not boring, and Bill has been making his mark with some plots faster than others. So last week seeing the story starting to loop back around to them with Hayley's potential pregnancy, I honestly had mixed feelings.   I get it. The SilkPress storyline is currently in aftermath/next turn mode, so it has to be moved into a C plot position. Moreso if we want to keep the very talented Miss Trish around. And I love how clever the writers are being with the storyline. They give us enough in the episodes and are still playing out beats to keep the appetite fed. I don't feel like anyone is being dumbed down to keep her around. And Trish is giving nuances in her alone scenes with NuTed. I shouldn't care for a clear psycho, but she be selling it. That said...I wish they had given us a little more of the Martin's Secret storyline in the last week of the month though I loved the game of cat and mouse Bill did on Martin and Smitty to keep the storyline alive and active after it had a nice build beginning of May and vanished for a week mid-May. And it appears like it's about to go back to the backburner as an A plot which of course leaves the A plot of Dani/Bill/Hayley.   I am probably in the minority as someone who is not anti-Dani here and even she annoyed the heck out of me last week. In character true, but I just felt like there was a way to get all of that across without it feeling like...as I've said before...one step forward, two steps back...and have it feel organic. I liked Hayley got a little bit of edge with her, but she still ain't no match for Dani. And it reminds to be seen if we should be going back to that well of a story yet.   Now about today's show...   And I thought Tracy was bad! lol. But YES. Sharon has been worth the wait. And so has Anita's story! Finally having TT in the limelight. This has been a nice slow burn for me and a nice B plot. And the actress is good. The wig is giving. And her holding what Anita's secret is over her head and threatening to tell Vernon....Ooooo...that is what I was waiting for.    And speaking of bad...I thought Eva vs Kat was a great rivalry. But I am loving the rivalry that is growing with 'Nancy Drew' and Silk Press Sheila! They both get good licks in and are so cunning with each other. And I definitely have liked that since the anniversary party, that it has been growing. Now that Kat has been proven right, she has not backed down. And neither has SilkPress. And we got a 'Ms. B@tch' moment, too? LOVE. Eva coming up with a trump card was delicious and so 90s Sami Brady. GOOD. And the coda with Jacob and the expert...YES. The Silk Press storyline has been the best paced on the show so I love that the aftermath of the anniversary party continues to be so...barring one flaw...well for me. Not enough Nicole's POV.   And I like the C plots on display. And by that, I mean Chelsea with Vernon. And it made me wonder what the writers have plan for her love life now that the throuple is over with. I was watching her and going awww.   And of course the mystery man around Martin. I am starting to wonder if he really even works at the country club given how he made a run for it. That would be a twist.    Speaking of Martin...good to see him in scenes with his father and mother.    I'm getting used to NuTed.    I felt the last episode of May was a bit of a letdown, but this was a very nice recovery.

      Unless they cut him, I'd think he would stay. Surely, he didn't choose to return because he expected high quality. I figure he gets to work when he wants and spend a lot of time doing his own thing and being with his family.

      The writing for Liz and Lucky is indeed terrible, but if JJ signed a one-year contract he may be gone in a couple of months anyway. Perhaps they’re just cutting their losses.

      That would be his older sister Stacey. She was the center of a big story back in the day. Nola was out to snag medical student Kelly Nelson, who she thought would provide her with the life she craved. He was in love with a girl named Morgan. Nola plotted to get pregnant by him, but couldn't manage to get him in bed. So she seduced Floyd, who thought she was in love with him. When she knew she was pregnant, she got Kelly drunk and made sure he woke up next to her in bed. Kelly believed her when she told him he made her pregnant. They were about to elope to Las Vegas, but her mother ratted her out and Kelly abandoned her. She almost married Floyd, but jilted him at the altar. She went to work for Quint. When the baby came prematurely, Kelly saved both of them. She named the baby Kelly Louise to irk Morgan, who was now married to Kelly. When she fell in love with Quint, she had a change of heart over all the trouble she had caused, so she changed the baby's name to Anastasia Louise, shortened to Stacey. Quint was a devoted stepfather and Henry treated her like his own granddaughter.  After Quint and Nola leave SF, I believe Stacey is never seen again. Which is odd, you would think they would have brought her back with Nola and J, but they never did.
