I would image the numbers are down for both Y&R and B&B because of the 3 million TWC people who are affected by the blackout in LA , NY and Dallas. I also think The Talk is probably down too since I haven't see a press release about them this week.

Sony can't be mad at the JFP or the writers this is all CBS.

I wouldn't consider it a "good" week for DAYS considering the nearly 400K loss from last year. I wonder which story is turning people off? This is why I really dislike the four-month advanced taping schedule. They have no ability to adjust S/L, even capture lightning in a bottle when something is clicking or ditching stuff that is just not working. I really wish there was another way, but I suppose if that's the only way to keep it on the air, so be it. (Although that may be one of the reasons why it's being held back.) Kind of a no win.

It is good to see Days up this week... keep in mind comparing the numbers from a year ago are a little skewed.. A year ago Days had just returned from its 2 week hiatus from the Olympics and we had the DAYSaster storyline which was a Huge event and of course ratings spiked up for it.. In Sept the yearly comparison will even itself out.

Todd was on for 2 days last week and he was pretty contained in the hospital room. It was a lite Todd/Kaka/Silas week. I don't recall vets being heavily featured, and if they were, it was window dressing. Last week, the baby story actually moved and it was a majority of AJ. People like when the show is about GH and the stories move along. Vets for the sake of vets do nothing for GH or any show.

Ah, yes, the DAYSaster which prompted me to give up my Days habit after close to 30 years. ;)

Main reason I responded was to agree on the taping schedule. If it exhausted Eileen to the point where she needed a break, maybe it's time to ratchet it back. Does anyone know if there is a difference between the budgets at GH and Days, even though the ratings are the same?

I didn't comment on the quality of the story.. just that it was a large event and we did see ratings spike after returning from the Olympics for it. Just the facts :)

As for the budgets.. This is only speculation, but since GH is owned by ABC it would make sense that ABC would make more profit off GH. NBC has to pay licensing fees and such for Days to Corday Productions and Sony Pictures since it is not owned by NBC. I'm sure there are others with more insight to this though than I have.

    • Irna wanted to use cities around Chicago to represent the cities around Cincinnati, where P&G's international Headquarters are, so it was by intent.  Here's the YT

    • Hump Day Thoughts Let me start with the snark: I can accept that John's memorial will be held at the pub—but I do not believe that a man who spent years thinking he was a priest (and fought the devil twice) wouldn’t have wanted a church funeral. It’s not the choice of venue that bothers me—it’s the casual, throwaway dialogue that pulls me out of the moment. That said, I was genuinely riveted by the scenes of everyone catching Bo up on what he’s missed. His sense of shock and grief felt earned. Imagine waking up to find that so many people you loved had died—and that you’d caused so much pain to your wife and son. That brief moment of overwhelm was beautifully played. (Of course, IRL, someone would’ve eventually told him: “Honestly, Bo, you were lucky to sleep through the Ron C. years.”

      ) Also, kudos to Hope for maintaining Bo’s beard, haircuts, and dye jobs all these years. I actually found it realistic. Many families of coma patients do keep up with grooming, partly as a way to pass time at the bedside. And let’s be honest: in real life, a lot of bearded men wake up clean-shaven because the machines require it… or because their wives secretly hated the beard all along. Props to Brandon Beemer today for stepping up and showing more emotional range than his usual “intensity mode.” It added depth, and it was needed. As for the chatter about the gay quad. I’ve read the comments, and I get the appeal, but I’ve never been a Paul fan. The guy’s just a drip. Not for me.  
    • Honestly Mona shouldn’t even matter. Shanice freaking talked to Leslie. But no one seems to think to show her the footage or picture of Leslie? It’s such a stupid glaring hole.  
    • Delusional Dani would view it as hope... but realistically, it's being cordial and adult...  something they both need to do.  Especially if Naomi and Chelsea ever decide to have children... it would be nice to have them being mature around one another and their kids and grandkids.   Kat needs to simmer down and let the police do their job.  I can excuse the coat and trying it on because she didn't know that it was previously Silk Press Sheila's... but the way she was with Mona when Mona was asked to ID the person in the video was Kat 'leading the witness on'. Even Mona said that she was now more then determined to see if Leslie/Dana was on the camera.   So a defense attorney could paint Mona as an unreliable witness.
    • Even though I can firm a map of Michigan (that included Bay City) was used on the show, I still never heard Michigan referred to in any of the dialogue -- ever.  So the map doesn't really make it canon, in my opinion.  That map was probably supplied by the prop-guy, and he might not have even told TPTB that he was going to use an identifiable state map.  On the other hand, there were hints that it was in Michigan, with references to cold winters, etc.  And on Somerset, a nearby city was Lansing.  But I don't recall Lansing ever being mentioned on AW, but perhaps it was.   I do wish TPTB would have made AW's canonical location in Michigan.  First, because many fans already believed it was in Michigan, and because eventually putting all the remaining P&G soap opera cities in Illinois was silly and pointless.  Variety is the spice of live, my dears.  
    • Yea, that's been nice to watch this week.

      date: Wednesday, June 4 | Sara A. Bible, Danielle Paige | Phideaux Xavier Anita is definitely lost in space. The space of her own mind and history. Oh, hello, miss eye-sex at the bar of Uptown! I see you eye-sexing Ms Chelsea! We love to see it. Shanice stopped Dana dead in her tracks. Good on her. It comes out: Barbara was the fourth Articulette, started the group, came up with the name, etc. Dante Greene is about to become the most hated man to exist in this universe, and that's a high-level position that many covet. I appreciate seeing Anita own up to her wrongdoings and that Vernon is still by her side. So, Sharon wants to use Anita for her own benefit, and that does surprise me. That ugliness is right there. At least Tracy, outwardly, seems more open to forgiving Anita and reuniting for the one-off concert. I had a feeling it might've been a stroke (or mini-stroke) but did not want to admit it. It hits close to home for me. Very close. Oh, that glimmer and gleam in Bill's eye and that ever-so-slight smirk on his face of Dani checking on him at the hospital. Yeah. He's still got it for her. Vernon continues to be a wise man with some wisdom unlike any other, and I love that he's getting through to Anita. Ugh. Sharon, you're ugly, ugly, ugly. You will reap what you sow. That's right, child bride, watch the woman that knows your husband better than you ever could. Katherine, mama, sit down and be careful. Now this is in the firm hands of Jacob and the police department. Dana, barking up Andre's tree. She works fast. Like a bitch in heat, fast. The one thing Tracy has with Anita that unites them is their love for Barbara and acknowledging her as part of the Articulette's history. Andre, you big dumb dumb. You never saw the suspect the footage before the police can. Ugh. Notes: For the first time in a while, we see Tide and get a commercial right after.
