I should have known the people here would be hard on Days. It doesn't happen over night. They need time. Yes Days had a bad week, but it's only one. Let's wait to see how these stories play out and the numbers as well. People are so quick to label the changes a flop. I for one LOVE DAYS and make it a point to see it every day.

Thanks Toups. Well said. This team needs more time. We all know it takes months to years for stories to play out. That's why we watch soaps right? If you want instant gratification I suggest twitter or face book. That's the problem many want instant gratification and forget what the soap formula is. It takes time to tell stories.

Exactly. Just look at the recent big return - Roger Howarth returning to OLTL. When he showed up on screen, ratings didn't immediately go up. It wasn't until he had scenes with his family that the ratings started to go up. It takes months and time to build up a story. That's why I'm not jumping off the deep end right now.

Good for oltl going back up it has to be building from it's chew lead in by 600000 to 800000. Teameric oltl had some good months in 2011 Aka February, April and august and still viewers sled but it was highest viewing month. Find it interesting oltl Is building. Days IMO I knew would bomb it doesn't have a hot story ala oltl had with two todds. Oltl had a building explosive story. Days had some returns but nothing exciting

Also interesting to me Monday was the holiday well Columbus day isn't really huge holiday that OLTL higher rated viewing days were non Holiday days and Friday their highest day. OLTL IMO this is good news especially with such a pittiful lead-in and I honestly can't wait to see what they do PP wise with the show.

Outside of the snow storm weeks, the only time I see fluctuating that much last year was in July. GH had much wilder swings last year.

Actually OLTL lost some viewers the first 2 months of RH's return. It wasn't until the Howarth vs St. John confrontations started that viewership started its spike. The who is the real Todd Manning promos created a lot of buzz everywhere and were a great hook to lure viewers to watch.

B&B is really doing well, and deserves its success.

I don't believe the 1.7 is a dangerous number for DOOL, since the threshhold for what is "acceptable" is much lower at NBC than it is at ABC or CBS. If the soap was on another network, it would have already been cancelled.

September was also a good month with 2.7 million viewers. But OLTL been trending downward from those August big highs, and their demos have suffered. OLTL hasn't broken 700,000 again in the 18-49 demos nor owned first place in 18-34 again.

Anyhoo, glad I was right OLTL managed a nice gain despite the poor lead-in from The Chew. That proves we can't blame all the lead-in for drops.

      What AW stories do you think of as DOOLish? I mean AW, in a very positive way was KNOWN for its comedic elements. From Iris's maid, Vivian, to the naming of plants, to highjinks with Cass, Felicia, Wally & even Lily, plus remember Dee Evans & Tony the Tuna? In a way at one time DAYS had similar with Caliope & Eugene.

      Were those reasons to do with having younger children on set? Other shows seem to manage. The ageing up of the kids has been one of the mistakes the show has made.

      I agree.  Lemay was supposed to start in early 88 and we saw some of the writing on the wall with character reference from the past.  Notably, the core families Frames, Cory, Matthews.  The stupid Reginald Love was wrapped up.  Not even a year later Mary was written out of the show along with Vince and the McKinnons who came and left .  The previous writers tried to introduce a new family that never aspired with the viewers.  1988 was focused on the 25th anniversary of show in 1989 and suspect why Lemay was asked to come back in 88.  Prior to 1988, the storylines were so DOOL stupid.

      That's true. He may have ended up keeping her on a recurring basis, like Dr. Michaels on ATWT. I'm trying to remember if GL had a similar long-running therapist.

      Knots Landing

      Oh in terms of ratings I think it would have been in a dicey place probably even before then. I mostly was just thinking of if the show could have carried on creatively.

      Even if by some miracle Knots Landing continued, 1994/95 it would have been killed by ER.

      Assuming that Marland had been allowed to write the Carrie story the way he'd envisioned, Millette would've been involved in the story. And she might've played a role in Andy Norris' return (if the speculation on that had ever materialized, and Marland loved bringing back bad boys) But he doesn't seem interested in Sara's personal life. And the women of Springfield could only be analyzed so much.

      This better be something, because as I said, so far it's just cliches and stereotypes -- the story we've heard a thousand times about the homeless person who doesn't want a home and prefers to live on the streets.

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      By BoldKara · Posted

      @rsclassicfanforever thank you very much for the recent uploads of season 13 containing some episodes that were skipped or glitchy on YouTube!  I had a look at 3172 though and there is no audio for most of it? Would you have a copy with complete audio? Fingers crossed! Thanks again!
