Members doolfan Posted May 24, 2013 Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 What I've never been able to understand is DAYS ratings. The show has been solid for weeks but ratings haven't increased which I think is odd. But I remember in the summer of 2007 when the show had a 1.6 household rating and then in December crawled up to 3.3 million viewers. This show bounces back and forth more than any other soap. But one thing I will say is and this has been true for decades is that DAYS has the most loyal & dedicated audience of any soap. A lot of people I know watch DAYS. Most of the time when you ask someone if they watch soaps they reply "I watch DAYS" lol plus back in 2007 a local Branson reporter came to Silver Dollar City to report about ATWT coming to the park to film and while at the park he said he asked people if they watched soaps and he said most of his replies were "I watch DAYS" he said quote "Days of our Lives is king of the mountain" lol so I never count DAYS out. GH however may be in trouble. NBC has renewed DAYS through September 2014. GH dosent have the luxury of having a contract. ABC owns the show therefore they could take it off the air today & never air it again or give it a finale if they wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members QueenOfHearts Posted May 24, 2013 Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 I gave up on DAYS long ago and just have no urge to get back into it for good. I've barely been watching GH these past few months but everytime I tune in I end up cringing my way through a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhinohide Posted May 24, 2013 Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 I wonder if it worked? Did The Chew get a bump in viewers. We don't seem to get those numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WorldTurningDays Posted May 24, 2013 Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 I can't help but notice that Days has changed for the better over the past few months up to the point where it is no longer a campy daytime joke. It sort of reminds me of old school ATWT in that it really feels community based with all of the characters connected on some level. I think Days will go up as we get into summer. The EJ takes down Stephano story is classic soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jfung79 Posted May 24, 2013 Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 Yes, the Monday of this ratings week was when the three former OLTL stars came back. But ratings naturally fall from Monday to Friday, because people time-shift more as the week wears on as they fall behind. It doesn't mean people were steadily tuning out. And yes, all four soaps, including GH and DAYS, are still up in the ratings year to year, which is a great sign for the genre. I agree with all the positives that people write about DAYS ... It is currently the successor to the Procter and Gamble style of soap. DAYS hasn't been soaring in the ratings, but it has stabilized and shows improvement year to year, so I think the high quality is being recognized by the viewers. Hopefully more will tune in and see just how great it is. GH is also nowhere near as bad as this board makes it out to be. Many vets are back and sticking around, hallelujah; there is a focus on the Quartermaines and ELQ; and the new generation (especially Michael) is cool too!

Members rhinohide Posted May 24, 2013 Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 Nice try. A 600,000 drop in viewers from Monday to Friday is a tad unusual. But maybe the 3 will rebound this week. I hear it's been awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted May 24, 2013 Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 the entire focus has been on stupid relish and that story has dragged on for far too long and downright stinks. Great if you like it but its getting panned across the board The vets are primarily nothing more than window dressing. There is little to no substance behind their presence.

Members Eric83 Posted May 24, 2013 Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 GH is not good right now. At this point I am just hate-watching to see how far they can take the stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted May 25, 2013 Members Share Posted May 25, 2013 I haven't watched since the Nurse's Ball. The show turned to s hit real quick. I just can't with new Lulu...she was awful on GL and Y&R and now GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jfung79 Posted May 25, 2013 Members Share Posted May 25, 2013 Ava on GH this week has had shades of early Carly Tenney, Soapsuds. As a fellow ATWT fan, you should at least check out some YouTube clips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GregNYC Posted May 25, 2013 Members Share Posted May 25, 2013 Genie Francis brings down the show. She has low energy and all her scenes are sleep inducing. She did the same on Y&R as Genevieve. Y&R's ratings dropped when she came on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MontyB Posted May 26, 2013 Members Share Posted May 26, 2013 This is why I know you're a TRUE soap fan! I have five days on my DVR that I have not watched. Thanks for reminding me to hit the delete button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jfung79 Posted May 26, 2013 Members Share Posted May 26, 2013 Yep, I was mostly referring to how she could seem nice but then turn around and be scheming after Rosanna's money. Apparently I'm not just imagining it as Maura West herself apparently says in Soap Opera Digest that Ava has elements of early Carly in modern days. Ava is more upscale than Carly though.

Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted May 26, 2013 Members Share Posted May 26, 2013 Amen! GH is terrible right now and what exactly is good about the next generation? They may be the weakest set of young people I've ever seen on a soap which is especially embarrassing with those spinoff rumors going around.
