Members DeeeDee Posted April 30, 2017 Members Share Posted April 30, 2017 Most of them keep paying lip service to each regime in hopes of increased airtime/story so it's difficult to feel too sorry for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted April 30, 2017 Members Share Posted April 30, 2017 They must play the game or be punished. We know how this works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted April 30, 2017 Members Share Posted April 30, 2017 We also know who gets punished and who doesn't for speaking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted May 1, 2017 Members Share Posted May 1, 2017 Then you must REALLY feel bad for the actors on the other soaps, since their demos are even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted May 1, 2017 Members Share Posted May 1, 2017 Since I quit watching again, did I read correctly that the latest, zany misunderstanding is that Billy believes that Nikki's MS has flared up - meaning he can't tell Victoria about Phyllis? If so, it's not only bad soap cliche, but it's truly offensive to those who actually live with the illness (I have a close family member with it). Gosh, Chloe/Bella + Billy + Phyllis would've generated some real sparks - I'd love to have seen GT/EH sparring! GT/AH - that's not worthy of anything.

Members ajsp35801 Posted May 1, 2017 Members Share Posted May 1, 2017 Days and GH...yes, I do. I fear the cancellation of Days every time rstings come out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted May 1, 2017 Members Share Posted May 1, 2017 Honestly if streaming, which we don't get or delayed viewing, which we only see in season to date ratings comes anywhere near what's happened to networks and cable, soaps will be fine - especially streaming because it drives traffic to the networks' web site 250+ days a year.

Members KMan101 Posted May 1, 2017 Members Share Posted May 1, 2017 This is all so true! I have to admit I deleted the last few episodes I had on the DVR ... meh And not to do with DeeeDee's post but in the ratings talk, which I didn't see all of ... Y&R and B&B are in no way in any danger of going anytime soon. Not when each day Y&R and B&B can pull in 4-2 million viewers each. I know demo is important but they're in no way in jeopardy IMHO. I don't even think DAYS and GH are in that much jeopardy anymore either. It could happen tomorrow or years from now, that's just how it is.

Members Roman Posted May 1, 2017 Members Share Posted May 1, 2017 I think networks tripping off of demos is why soaps in the States are in the position they're in now....on top of bad writing and storytelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
