The interesting thing is to me that most of Days demos were the same but the overall went up, so I suppose that it was a small increment in each demo that didn't change much each demo group but culmatively was a small bump upward.

Were there preemptions for ATWT and GL last Friday? It seems they both fell a few points on that last day while doing strongly the other 4 days. Would've been nice to see GL back at a 2.4. Maybe next week now that Reva's story is kicking in.

No preemptions last Friday that have been reported anywhere. The preemptions in several major areas (Baltimore and Chicago) were the Friday before when every show but 1 or 2 had much lower ratings on Friday than usual. I know Y&R was not affected by that preemption but just about all the other shows were.

What's your definition of spin? Mine is trying to make something good out of a bad situation. DAYS at 2.5 isn't anything to be proud of considering the show was up to a 2.8 just 6 weeks ago. DAYS could be #3 next week if a bunch of things happen, but thats in a world of what ifs....

I read an article recently that stated that advertisers are now starting to look at the total viewership and households when it comes to ratings. It's starting to cost them too much money just focusing on demos.

They have always looked at total viewership, but there are certain products that are not going to do well advertised to all groups. Specific products advertisers do look at the demos.

Miss Lucinda stated that Tums advertised during ATWT yesterday. I hardly ever notice what is advertising so I used hers as an example. I know that some younger people do use them from time to time, but not as often as older people. The makers of Tums are going to look at shows that have a larger older audience.

If condoms are ever allowed to advertise on TV more widely you better believe they are going to target shows that primarily younger.

Viagra, Cialis and all those do advertise on many different programs but they are going to want to advertise to an older audience too. I have never seen one of those commercials when I was watching MTV. They are not going to waste their money there.

Most advertisers want to look at specific audiences. And the majority of shoppers are younger and they are going to target those shows that have a larger younger audience.

I agree with everything you said, but you are missing my point. Passions has a low viewership period. Now it may be high in a few key demos. But there are probably ten different demos and Passions only does well in like two demos when compared to the other soaps which probably have more range when it comes to demos. And then you have your products that cater to multiple demos, like food, electronics, movies....those shows that have the higher overall ratings will get the higher pay for these types of ads.

Nice to see ATWT have a huge jump because it has been great the past two weeks with the Emily story coming to its climax. Really exciting and suspenseful and of course nice to see AMC holding steady and beat GH two straight weeks in total viewers!

    • Of the so-called "contract" cast members, I'd venture to say these are recurring: Bryton James, Camryn Grimes, and (possibly) Michael Graziadei.  I've suspected since 2018 that Kate Linder and Christian LeBlanc are recurring.  And I believe we all know Miss Ordway is, because she said so. lol.  
    • Dante blaming Gio instead of his dweeb son and the other dweeb was just ridiculous. Gio's paternity story is going in circles with no reveal. I've already started fast forwarding Drew and his stupid ho Willow's story. Kristina's story is beyond dumb with no great payoff.
    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
