Days is so stale and boring right now - I hate to say these numbers are deserved... but they're deserved. Keep telling us frontburner stories with heroic Danifer, goody goody JJ and his salt of the earth girlfriend, and Hope Brady trying to find a place to hold freakin' fundraiser and these are the ratings you'll get! ... Props to GH for tying the demo!

You are absolutely right! DAYS ratings are well deserved. It's more than that though...Dannifer is a complete BORE and has always been, that's not going to change. But yet the writers keep pushing their storyline and the whole Liam thing...ugh!!!!! Hell I'm rooting for Liam!!!!!!!! There is no romance on the show or adventure. JJ propping Daniel is ridiculous. I don't mind Paige but what's her back story? Where's her family? What's the purpose of her friend Mary Beth? The Jordan and Rafe romance is going nowhere. I'm not even sure of her storyline nor purpose either. Why is she running? Who is she running from? Her storyline is the exact storyline that could propel adventure and enhance their romance. They could go on the run with location and everything, but I'm convinced these writers are incapable of writing that. Marlena is back but she's doing nothing. John has been seen what TWICE maybe three times or so. Kayla is doing nothing. This entire potential pairing of Aiden and Hope I'm not feeling and will not. Sami and EJ have never truly worked (IMO). The Gabi and Nick mess...do I need to continue. And don't get me started with the boring pairing of Eric and Nicole. THE SHOW IS A BORE!!! Once again it has no real direction. This is exactly what it was like when these writers were writing their first term. I want some improvement and fast. The ratings show that what they are writing is not holding interest.

GH's numbers (Total Viewers, HHs, and 18-49 demos) look stable to me, especially compared to DAYS and Y&R. GH wants to be around these numbers for "normal" weeks. I'm not too worried about DAYS either because they have "bullets in the chamber."

GH's number look very good. I don't see the show losing many viewers in the near future. They have some big things coming up. If GH get this kind of numbers in a week like this, they really have not much to worry about I guess.

The numbers always go down over the spring and summer. Iam sure some big story's like last fall/winter are planed and will get big ratings again.

Toups, I do agree with you on "bullets in the chamber". Days should rise in the coming weeks. What worries people is Days' ratings were down the week of the WilSon wedding. I think a lot of people may have shed their winter skin and gotten outdoors too, which may have contributed to lower numbers all around. Just my two cents. :)

    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
