Decent bump for Y&R for the KSJ tribute week, but odd that ratings trailed off for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, which were the day Genoa City discovered Neil’s death, the day of the funeral, and the gathering at Devon’s apartment. Monday is traditionally a big viewing day, but still.

I thought Y&R would get bigger gains too. I wonder how many watched later (after work/on the weekend) that isn't reflected in the Live number. 

 

DAYS needs a complete overhaul starting with a five month "dark period" to end this stupid taping schedule where they can't change things that aren't working until it's too late. Take the five months to come up with an actual PLAN/STRATEGY moving forward instead of what seems to be throwing things at the ceiling to see what sticks (and finding that out six months later!) 

I'd start with trimming the cast and refocusing on "core families".  I'm bored with the Kiriakis and DiMera families. I'd refocus on the Brady/Johnson and Horton clans. I'd also take the time to do a good search for the right actors to pair with Hope and Kate and give each a true romance instead of giving them the latest guy to turn bad.

The use of Neil's death as a quasi-promotional tool may have turned a lot of viewers off. 

I watched online (delayed) and I wonder whether delayed viewing is automatically figured into the ratings or are they factored in at a later time?  Also, I admit that I didn't view through the cbs.com site, so my viewing probably won't count.

Also, there was a lot of public moaning of how difficult it was to watch those episodes so perhaps people stayed away, thinking it would be too much to bear.  People who watched a day ahead were on social media warning people of how sad and hard it was to watch, so that may have warded many viewers away, even though many claimed to have watched, or that they were going to watch.

I wonder how the special tribute episode rated. Monday's tend to be the highest rated day, so I would assume it would be the case when those ratings are revealed. 

 

What's true though is that Y&R has already squandered all the momentum form Neil's passing - most of those characters impacted have hardly been on since or barely have any substantial screen-time when they're on. 

 

I fully expect Josh Griffith and Anthony Morina to be fired by the end of this year. Their entire tenure so far feels like a temporary assignment with little in the way of actual storylines going on.

    • 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....
