Bob & Kim wedding coming up in mid April on ATWT.

I'm sure they'll get a bump in ratings and pass some soaps.

@Soapsuds Also Julianne Moore arrival that same month.

I was just going through some big DAYS adventure stories and February was the Stefano DiMera ice skating climax where Marlena shoots him, they did really well for that! 

@soapfave06 Did Days have a storyline in 1985 where they tried to cash in on the Miami Vice hype?

I haven’t seen the story myself but when I was looking into it several characters ended up in Miami searching for treasure and after Victor Kiriakis, I hope to see it one day! 

Thanks for the answer @soapfave06 

Another Days question, did Joseph Mascolo depart in 1985 and was John Aniston brought on that year to be the new villain? I know they were both on during the Reilly years.

I know Aniston was cast in 1985 & of course he was more of a power villain not much like Stefano but I thought he was brought on to tell the story of Victor & Caroline's romance & Bo's paternity not being Brady. But he did function as a villain, yes. 

Joe was on 1982-1985 & then gone till 1988. On again I think longer 1992-2001. 

Ernesto Toscano was another villain 1989-1990.

March 1, 1985 Y&R Brent Davis tells Ashley he's her biological father.

Im glad these episodes are saved in the vault, but I still wish my playlists were around, so I could add the episodes that were shown during these specific weeks 😕

It's so funny that November 1985 Miami Vice blew up in the primetime ratings and that same month Days cashes in on the Miami Vice hype.

FROM THE VAULT: WEEKLY DAYTIME NIELSEN RATINGS: WEEKS OF 3/25/85-3/29/85 & 4/1/85-4/5/85:

FROM THE VAULT: WEEKLY DAYTIME NIELSEN RATINGS: WEEKS OF 4/8/85-4/12/85 & 4/15/85-4/19/85:

4/1/85- The new musical version of On and On premiered in the closing credits of ATWT.

Kim & Bob wedding a 7.2.  The after party wedding festivities the following week got a 7.0 for ATWT.

I expected higher ratings for the wedding.

Lots of episodes of this month for ATWT on YouTube and in HD.

Yikes, is it just me or did the ratings seem either stagnant and much lower than usual for Spring? 

OLTL went down four weeks in a row, hopefully they increase once Mitch arrives.
