Id love to see what they had to say, she seems such an odd person/writer.

Basically, Victor Miller said he enjoyed working with MMT, while Wisner Washam said she had a big mouth and that he quit AMC the second time because he couldn't stand her.

By now, most who worked with MMT either are dead or retired, so spilling the tea on her wouldn't jeopardize anything.  Heck, Megan has moved onto breeding dogs for a living, lol.

Days you have an 18 share, SOW has 19

Weird seeing DAYS' ratings ticking upward during Palumbo's short run, considering how tepid a lot of his stories were. Jack and Jennifer and the con artists are a total mess, while the hunt for John's True Identity of the Week kinda worked (for me anyway), the downplaying of the John/Marlena/Roman/Isabella quad in favour of the focus on the Torres mob family was a bizarre choice. The Alamains seem to just meander during this period, antagonizing everyone with little rhyme or reason to it. I believe the Lombards and Lisanne Gardner are introduced around this time as well. 

How the show was netting actually reasonable numbers around this time is kinda beyond me.

So much jockeying for position.

@JAS0N47 Again, thank you so much for bringing this part of daytime television history to us. You should be knighted 🤗

I guess Bnb had to let Lauren Koslow go, in order to clear a contract slot for Kimberlin Brown.

Looks like we won't quite finish off 2023 perfectly:

 

5/18/92-5/22/92:
GL you have 5.3 and SOW has 5.2. I assume it's SOW's typo as they have a star marking it "tied with above" (B&B at 5.3)

 

Happy holidays and thank you so much for all this! 🥳

I see Days and AW weren’t doing too well the week I was born lol 

But then again, that was also the week that Sheila kidnapped Lauren.

A big thank you to @JAS0N47! 😃😃

Makes me wonder what could've helped NBC Daytime during this period. A cross over event between their soaps? Better promotion? 

Ultimately I'm going to assume better writing, at least for DAYS and SB.
