GH had the most solid September. It's been now six months of solid ratings. October will probably knock our socks off.

I guess I don't understand these headlines for the ratings, with all due respect. GH is the one to be touting. It's hitting the 3m mark and gained the most viewers despite its timeslot change. Days is still totally anemic (as much as I want the show to succeed and I watch days more that GH). GH had a great week. That should be the headline.

BB lost 600K viewers between Monday and Friday and DOOL lost 550K viewers between Monday and Friday. GH held steady all week. Viewers are tuning in every day. That's amazing in this day and age to have such consistency and at a higher number than they used to have.

B&B is mentioned because they were either up or the same in all demos...GH was not..thus why Toups didnt give them a great week promo.....

Yes! GH gained the most viewers but lost viewers in all key demos. How was Billy Miller Wednesday? Was it the greatest day in soaps ever?!

Who would've imagined that B&B would be mounting a challenge for #1 in both sets of demos? I think it would be awesome if B&B grabs the 18-49 crown - even for a week. The show is so much 'younger' now without Stephanie, Jackie, etc. It's been an amazing turnaround. Now if we could ship off Eric, Pam and Charlie, it would be perfect. All useless secondary characters - I'd rather see Justin and Donna instead of those clowns.

Give it a rest. It's gotten 3 million in an off season month. Consistent ratings all across the boards. It's 300000 viewers higher then last year. It only lost 8000 in demos. DAYS increases aren't that impressive. At least it's not bleeding as much as the summer but its kind of flat. Thanks Raven for pointing out the obvious.

Between its good ratings, production values and international success,B&B has been the real success story of the genre for the last few years. IMO, it will probably be the last soap standing. I'm actually surprised Univision or Telemundo hasn't picked up the Spanish translations from CBS for broadcast. Although I admit that I have no idea how the legalities of that would work.

I don't know why the title on a weekly basis irks people, aren't we grateful for the ratings? All soaps went up, but, as pointed out, B&B and Days went up in demos. Really, who cares the title of the thread?

You're absolutely corrrect about B&B standing above the rest in terms of production - plus all those remotes and the excellent use of LA's climate for outdoor scenes (DAYS are you listening!) As far as Univision/Telemundo, CBS won't share the broadcasting rights in US - it would cut into ratings. However, does anyone know if B&B actively advertises in Spanish media publications/TV, etc.? That seems like fertile ground for them. It would probably make sense to make a real attempt to incorporate a couple of Hispanic romantic options on the show - it is LA!

Toups where are the View and Chew ratings? I heard the View while up in total viewers has fallen in demos.

It's easy to figure out how I make the headlines.

I don't care about The View or The Chew so you're not going to see me post their ratings.

Thank you so much @slick jones . I can't imagine all the time and effort this takes so whatever time away you need I know we will all understand.

Great observations @DRW50. I've noticed that Clint Ritchie doesn't seem completely engaged with the material in these last five episodes or so. The Cord scenes, in particular, came across as really stiff and lacking emotion. It almost felt like he was annoyed by the silly things he has to say or hear. Maybe it's just in my head, but I've seen him perform so well many times before, so this definitely felt off.
These scenes where characters come back from the dead can be pretty cringe to watch or even act in. I've noticed similar moments in other soap operas too, where you can even glimpse actors trying to suppress a smile or a laugh because of how ridiculous the situation is that they're portraying.
Honestly, this is their second similar storyline (or third if you include Mortimer) in just a year and a half. I really hope this trend doesn't continue. The last thing I expected was for Malone to be the writer who keeps churning out these return-from-the-dead plots all year long.
I really think they made a mistake by killing off so many characters in the first year, and now they're struggling to fix that. This show seems overproduced at times and now I get some of the criticism I've read about it before.

Britt and Spencer did not have that deep a relationship. And Claudette sucked.

I wish the show would reference that Charlotte once thought Nathan was her father. It didn't last long. They quickly changed it to Griffin, and then to Valentine, at which point we were told that somehow, she had always known he was her father. Still, Charlotte did call Nathan daddy, and she was even a little scared and clinging to him when she was first introduced to Nathan as her real father.
With Nathan and Charlotte sharing scenes, and him even being the guy who picks her up from school, it would be interesting to hear them talking about that chapter in their lives, and how much Charlotte remembers about it. I would especially like to hear him talk about Claudette with her, and how often Charlotte thinks back on her. If they are going to tell us that she has always had a bond with Valentine that surpassed the one she has with Lulu, they should remember that the limits on her connection to Lulu stemmed from the fact that she had originally had a different mom who she was bonded with.
I guess the show has decided to ignore all that, like the way they are ignoring Britt's history with Spencer. That one is even more aggravating to me.

One of the scenes even has an SNL cast member (Rob Riggle).
They are trying to cash in on Sound of Freedom, but that had a system of ticket-buying which was for that film only (they bought tickets in bulk even though many never went to see the movie).
I see that Jen Lilley (ex-GH/DAYS) and Jemma Donovan (Neighbours/Hollyoaks) are also in it.

Thanks @Maxim
I do remember Cord's return being somewhat of a shrug. I am sometimes surprised they even took John Loprieno back as they clearly had more interest in Tina/Cain (what interest in Tina Malone ever even had). The edginess he returns with does have potential, and is at times explored, but could have had more, especially with Clint's increasing volatility.
Your despair over the state of Luna is more interesting than the material itself, good as Susan Batten was in the role.
I had to shake my head at Viki's attempt to shift blame on her clumsy lie about dinner with Sloan. Another sign of how much she has changed.
Those Sloan/Viki/Clint scenes are a tale of two halves. The confrontation needed to happen, but there's a mix of drive and cheese. I don't think Clint Ritchie is at his best here, and Viki commenting on not wanting to be the woman fought over doesn't hide the degradation of her just trying to stop them as Clint starts in. The scene where Clint nearly hits Viki should have had more of a punch (no pun intended) than it did.
The music in that scene veers between very effective and rushed student film.
Sloan takes a beating well for someone with a heavily weakened immune system.

Being able to have fun on set in between takes is a really good thing because like with any other job the better you feel about being in the environment the more productive you are.
