Haven't been watching any soaps but I think in a lot of the country, with the addition of Tamron Hall and Kelly Clarkson talk shows, it's taking a bite.  In my area (Northern VA/DC area) - Kelly is doing well and airs at 2:00 against GH.  People who still only watch major network TV or only have basic cable packages - especially retirees - have another choice now.  From looking at the numbers, Monday's Y&R hit over 4 million one day for the first time in a long time - then the bottom fell out on Friday?  They must have been completely pre-empted in a lot of the country on Friday.  

 

To me both B&B and Y&R became completely unwatchable.  Dead baby switch killed B&B and the whole show became so incestuous and everyone is so fickle.  They're annulled and marrying someone else the next week, and it's all the same people.  No one gets a divorce - you can be married for 2 years and get it annulled.  Y&R - I watch the episode count posts and it's a problem when a new actor has the most episodes for months.  I'm sick to death of Adam and I'm in the minority - I don't like the actor.  But it really wouldn't matter - I'm tired of the character.  I read synopsis, and it's stupid to have Victor to "die".  He's never going anywhere so any illness or death is a yawner.  And the revert to years ago with Chloe, Kevin, Chelsea, etc. etc. - killed it for me.  At some point you have to move on.  

 

Thomas and Adam killed both for me, but B&B's issue is really the incest.  Brooke/Bill/Ridge and the constant switch-off.  The consistent polygons of Wyatt/Steffy/Sally/Liam/Hope, and then now Flo.  It's tired.  And the show has a problem with when couples get married, they get written into a corner.  They had a huge opportunity with Rick/Maya/Caroline and squandered it when they made the whole world embrace Maya.  Just tragically stupid.

    • 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....
