The numbers are dreadful.

The Liam Show isn't working and the Bill shooting was a joke.

Mal is destroying Y&R.

The DID story on Days is awful and ruining any momentum the soap once had.

GH is in free fall.

Looks like Y&R’s boost last week was temporary as expected. What had been a reasonably entertaining show just became dreary dreck in record time. Losing an actor of TL’s charisma has really hurt. JMHO.

 

B&B is meh so no surprises there.

 

DAYS isn’t doing great, but it’s the only show up in any demos YOY. Only slightly down in W25-54.

 

But yeah GH is tanking big time. The audience that returned with Steve Burton has totally jumped ship.

Let's see...

 

-GH has a serial killing rapist played by a sub part actor in the midst of a MeToo story

-Anna, a long time long suffering heroine, is really a rapist who drugged the man who supposedly terrorized her for decades and had her way with him.

-The product of that rape is a talking tree found in the parking lot.  

 

The #s look at tad high, if you ask me!

Spot-on assessment. One of the reasons why I loathed the DV storyline in the first place. They were sure to tank a viable character that they could've occasionally brought back from time to time for brief storyline arcs.  Seems like a waste of talent just to boost AH's story prospects. If you look at the way Y&R promoted TL's return vs. the character's story trajectory, it made no sense.  Even if J.T. were meant to be an anti-hero (which he wasn't), that promo still wouldn't have made sense. 

MY put all his eggs in one basket- the DV storyline and put little effort into any of the other stories. Dina's storyline (and by extension, Jack's/Abbotts) is powered mainly by the strength of Marla Adams' performance.  Devon & Hilary's storyline is on a loop. Are there any other stories on this show?

    • Yes. He was asleep in the living room, over in the chair that is sideways to the room, but faces it & he had one of his bad dreams in the exact same way as always & as always it woke him up. Is that a thing? Are there bad dreams that for some reason always wake you?
    • Just happy to see the Pointer Sisters getting their flowers again, thanks to GTA 6.

    • Yeah, I was fickle. I abandoned baby watch & just tried to think of really well matched pairings. Yeah, they sent Carter & Thomasina away far too soon for my way of looking at things.  I REALLY liked them & they were rare being both young & African Americans. 
    • My watching in that time period was sketchy.  After high school, I didn't have a TV.  I would watch in the dormitory common room  my first year away from home, but then after that I lived in a rental with housemates who didn't want TV.  I think I caught up on the soaps during school(univ) vacations, when visiting my sister's house.  And then many many years later on soapnet?  Not sure. I had no idea that Jeff ever tried suicide. Reading just now is the first I ever heard of that. Interesting. I will agree that Monica wanted Jeff out of the way so she could be with Rick, but she would have wanted him gone emotionally.  But I don't remember watching Jeff having any medical issues, so I don't know if she would have wanted him dead.
    • Didn't he have a nightmare last week?
    • Nothing about Joss ever works. I can't blame them for trying a completely fresh approach for her, but she needs to be written out. 
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  Some of this sounds strong but it's all so heavy and some elements, like with Felicia and Charles, almost veer on parody. L&L seemed to always be a heavy show - did they ever even have comic relief moments? - but I do wonder if it all became too much for viewers.
    • It's a joke. If there's a way to put Joss into a WSB spy story that works, I haven't seen it. What they're doing is just ridiculous. Imagine trusting a huge operation to someone who "finished training" a month ago. I think they're trying to make this work by having a college-age agent be a part of the professor's class, etc. It might look acceptable on paper, but it doesn't work when you see it.
    • Monday, after the party, Leslie showed up at the Duprees. Martin was with everyone as they listened to her for a bit. Then Martin said he was needed at home.  Anita and Vernon knew he was upset and they were concerned. Vernon asked "Do you need Titus, or are you okay to drive?"  Martin said he was okay and left to drive himself home. Either Titus is a chauffeur or just some helpful all-around employee.
    • if only Dante had admitted to hating string instruments earlier....
