Members OLTL_fan Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 CBS soaps score big gains. ABC soaps down in demo. Another new low for DAYS in demo. ABC posted the total viewers for all soaps too. http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/12/30/the-chew-hits-seriesweekly-high/114991/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 Again nothing happening on Days and thus the continued drop. I wonder if Corday is getting worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JaneAusten Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 I am sure he is. I feel like the potential of stories is there but then I felt that with the Madison/Kate story and the election storyline both which are duds. The AbbyAustin thing could be an interesting sort of fatal attraction thing if you know Austin was actually interesting or sexy and will's storyline still looks to be the most promising.

Members Soapsuds Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 How long will MarDar last and the vets that returned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 I have to believe DOOL's budget is way up. Of all the people let go, Crystal Chappell had to be the only one making big bucks and she wasn\t used extensively where the DH's, MA and yes that horrible Patrick Muldoon and soon to be Lisa Rinna and Bryan Datillo are not cheap. I don't know how much was saved by firing Tomlin and replacing him with 2 producers or firing Higley and hiring 2 writers to replace her. I do think they have let go some of their scriptwriters and someone said that they thought the Cullitons were on their way out. Maybe its all been a wash.

Members DAYS Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 Guys, Don't blame MarDar. They didn't ruined the ratings, Higley/Tomlin ARE the ones who ruined the ratings. MarDar are trying so hard trying to revive the ratings and writing the stories good and watchable. It takes time to revive the ratings. I have high hopes for these new writers. However, if Sheri Anderson joined as Co-Headwriters, it would've been a perfect writing team. Sorry for my english though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 Unfortunately, MarDar are failing in writing good stories. Ignoring ratings they've had enough time to built some good stories but haven't. How long have MarDar been HW now?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JONNYSBRO Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 Guys it doesn't matter about GH/DAYS anymore. They are both ARE DEAD and considering the new press release of the show I can't name in this post which is doing unbelievably well and nowhere near the disaster soap fans made it out to be. This genre is finished done stick a fork in it ITS DONE. The new wave of soaps are the Kardashians, Jersey Shore, Housewives, Mob Wives. We have to stop living in denial and start moving on that this genre is over. The current economy and today's costs stuck a fork in this genre. How can anyone justify keeping soaps on the air when cheaper shows are doing the same numbers on much lower budgets? Its BASIC BUSINESS 101 we sometimes forget as we put out emotions into this and not realize the right business decisions were made in cancelling these shows unfortunately.

Members Soapsuds Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 We are just discussing Days woes. We know the soaps are toast. We've known that since GL was cancelled. Its just funny how MarDar made it sound like they were the second coming..and they have totally flopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BigBangFan Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 I guess GH might have a chance if The Revolution bombs? Maybe just temporary extension for GH? Doesn't DOOL have till 2013? They should probably start worry about that in a couple of months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
