The episode that showed Kyle and Lola getting married had one of the lowest ratings for the week for the show.. Even though the show promoted that wedding a lot. Especially on places like Twitter. Someone on another site said that the Y&R account promoted that wedding  around 17 times leading up to it. I'm not sure exactly how many times they promoted it, but it was a lot. Every time you turned around they were promoting and pushing that wedding.

 

It turns out though that people weren't as interested in watching it as they had hoped. I did see a lot of people say they weren't going to watch the wedding, because they find the couple boring. It doesn't help that Kyle's secret was a let down and nothing happened at the wedding regarding it.

Days is done getting above 2million viewers. They're barely even getting 2mill but maybe once a week if that.  When Ron took over two summers ago in July, Dena's Days was pulling barely 2mill per episode. He hasn't increased viewership at all in two years.  I think he had an opportunity to pull some GH viewers away but he went way over the top and repetitive with all the back from the dead characters and the revolving door of short term players.

Uh, that's pretty much what he's done at all shows he's head-written for.

 

 

Does anyone else have the feeling that Kyle's secret was bigger than what aired and that CBS or Sony might have interfered?  Or is it just me?

I didn't see any of that stuff but I thought it would have been interesting that he had a fling with Theo.  Metro/Bisexual Kyle and maybe he could have confided in Mariah/Tessa.  But that would have taken creativity.  LOL.  I thought maybe that Theo was being overly-threatening, kind of holding something over his head.

I don't know, seems like the usual lack luster trash Griffith typically spews out to me.

 

I hope Angelica McD is somewhere seething and panicking over this flop ass wedding. No one cares about any of the Rosales and Kyle and Lola has been a bust since she revealed she was a virgin.

Yes, CBS ( Angelica Rosas McDaniel). Lola, and the Rosales, are her project, and I think she's as emotionally invested in them, especially Lola, the same way fans are invested in their faves. She can't be even handed. That's why Kyle & Lola are written like fan fiction. With Lola being some type of modern day Cinderella, (any one who meets her loves her), and Kyle the handsome prince completely enchanted with her. This story may be interesting to her toddler daughters, but it's not soap material. And it negatively affect lots of other character and the other story lines

 

 I think "the secret" was an attempt to pull it out of this bizarre fantasy world, and make it into more of a soap story, with some drama. But she watered it down to nothing, so now it's a joke.

 

IMO Angelica's too involved, and has too many personal agendas, to be approving Y&R stories. She needs to pull back, or someone should pull her back. Y&R is over 45 years old, and struggling to survive.The last thing anyone should be doing is re-centering the show around Angelica's strong Latino woman fantasy of a character. It'd be nice if she was looking out for all the female characters, since most of TPTB are men, she could be a good balance, but nope.

We got a little insight into just how many Live plus 7 viewers Y&R and B&B get from the CBS Press Release yesterday. Y&R is averaging 4.48 million this season, according to the release, which includes Live plus 7. Their Live plus same day is about 4.12 million, so Y&R adds about 360,000 viewers give or take in 7 days. Not a huge number compared to primetime shows. B&B adds about 240,000 in Live plus 7. These soaps are dying.

    • 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....
