I said years ago that if they ran Daytime like Primetime B&B would have been cancelled because of the way it lost lead-ins and passed off to World Turns.  B&B has always needed Y&Rs ratings lead in.  Back when they had a full lined up it should have been Y&R at 12:30. World Turns at 1:30. GL at 2:30 and B&B from 3:30 to 4:00.  I don't think soaps will bounce back from this.  We know it will come to an end but I think this did it.  I can't imagine advertisers spending money with ratings like this.  Budgets on all shows are about to take a hit.

I really don't think that this is a daytime issue.

 

I'd assume that more people than ever before signed up with streaming services or gave on watching live TV and much rather watch their shows on demand. The strange pre-emption choices for live new events does not help it at all. I expect primetime ratings to be super brutal in the fall as well, though...

We can only hope that B&B's streaming numbers on CBS.com are up year to date.

Look at the primetime ratings they are way down across the board. It's not just a daytime issue. Big Brother usually a ratings draw didn't even get to 4 million viewers. Even AGT is way down, the top rated summer show.

It’s not exclusive to daytime, but we know primetime will have the tools to rebound because people care. They’ll have promotion, they’ll be plotting stories to attempt to get viewers back as well. Daytime isn’t going to have promotion and all three soaps came back With the same stories and nothing is really happening on any of them. That isn’t going to bring anybody back. They have to give viewers something to WANT to tune back in. We’ve seen it work many times, but you have to at least try.
 

I do think it’s promising that Josh Griffith said CBS had a meeting about the direction of the show. That should show th at they realize things weren’t working. Now we just have to hope whatever they change works.

    • I think the Ralph story was a one of those Kay redemption stories that came up every so often where she would vow to make better choices. I guess Ralph appeared at the mansion for work and was friendly towards Kay and Liz encouraged it.  There would have been a bit of comedy with haughty Kay attempting to relate to down to Earth Ralph. How it was resolved I don't know. Maybe as simple as Kay announcing she wasn't interested? Did Liz and Kay ever interact until Jill got pregnant/Phillip's death? I don't think so and at that point they would not have been friendly. Liz very much knew her place in dealing with the likes of Kay Chancellor.
    • i've never seen any videos of this ivan! if anyone finds any id love to see haha if anyone has any of the videos from the 1984 plots besides the couple clips on youtube i'd love to see those too !
    • @Maxim @draglover Character: Ivan Marais, assistant to Vivian Alamain. Actor: Ivan G'Vera from Prague. Jason47 has an old autograph here: https://jason47.com/days/autogvera.html
    • It is DAYS, Vivian Allamain's right hand man, Ivan (pronounced EE-Vahn) Same  guy is the red head fortune teller. (We are on a roll now with ID thee drag queen!) WOW, I do not have any memory of Evil Rex doing this. GOOD fory ou!!!
    • Okay, draglover, sorry I have now found a blonde in drag. Just didn't see them before. I had to watch it very slowly. Anyway, it's DAYS - Vivian - Ivan again, blonde this time, red head looking like a fortune teller in the other pic. Same actor/character/show.

      Wull, hey, is we a team all of a sudden or whut?!!! 
    • The blonde drag is also Ivan, I believe. The long straight black wig is Peter Barton when he was playing Eddie on Sunset Beach.
    • Sorry, I don't know the non-AW ones. In addition to the 2x Cass disguised himself as Krystle (1984 to hide from Tony Jones, 1994 investigating Felicia's disappearance), there was one occasion in October 1987 where Cass imposter Rex Allingham dressed as a woman and, claiming to be Nicole's Aunt Blanche, disrupted her date with another man. (At the time I don't think the audience yet knew that it wasn't Cass.)
    • THANK YOU SO MUCH. If there was any way we could sticky this post or make it so we don't forget where it is. I'm going to bookmark it for sure! AND WOW... Season 15 - nearly a whole month of skipped episodes. LOL.   
    • JFP was only as strong as her writers, which is why her output got worse and worse when she decided she was the only writer anyone needed. They could have easily had a decent short-term story with Lando - maybe cast him as a terminal patient at Cedars, or a long-lost Bauer or Reardon who would leave town after his story is done and possibly return at a later date with a recast. He might become close to Ed and Michelle, similar to how Ed had taken Kelly under his wing years earlier. Maybe he could have been tied to Maureen's death, somehow - maybe we'd learn, after he ingratiated himself to everyone in Springfield, that he accidentally ran Maureen off the road during the storm. And when he realizes this he would, in shame, leave town, maybe leaving some Springfield lady devastated if they were about to get married (this could have worked with a better Mindy recast, or maybe a brand new character).
