Unless DAYS completely turns their creative around, they will continue to drop. The +13,000 that week is nothing. The writing has been complete garbage since January. The whole "Gabby" storyline was farfetched, but I actually enjoyed it for the 8-9 months it lasted. Nothing since then has had my interest.

Yep. And they do NOTHING to raise the ratings, lol. And their stans are obnoxious and act as if they are DAYS' saving grace.

 

Sadly all the soaps are the pits and the ratings rightfully reflect that. 

 

Ratings are fairly stagnant. Sure we get some increases, then decreases, but the days of true gains are long gone. What's left is what's left ... lol

 

It's not like primetime ratings are much better  what gets renewed now would be laughed at just five years ago ...

 

Personally, the soaps are lucky to get what they do, IMHO. And to be fair, they still pull in 1-2 million *a day* when some shows struggle to even hit that once a week (hi, CW)

As we’ve all said before: DAYS has no opportunity to quickly course-correct if something’s not working. If they go all in on a character or story that bombs, too bad: six or more months will have to pass before they can really do anything about it.

 

It’s a catch-22: its odd schedule is probably the only reason for its continued survival. And to be fair: in the past, they’ve kept up with the other shows even with this production model. But their luck may be running out.

Days is horrible. There is not one good story. Will's story is about finding a serum and Will falling on the floor every other month from his tumor. 

Days is now 8 months ahead.

People said the ratings weren’t high enough for Neil’s service, but they did get a bump. I wonder if their ratings would be better if they’d followed up with story for their black characters. They proved they could get ratings time and time again. Especially for the lapsed viewers who tuned in I bet it was odd seeing them as the A story all week then immediately go back to once a week.

    • 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....
