You must not be a member over there Toups anymore! She's been right-on most of the time & well ahead of anybody else's scoops. She's the first to tell us we need to take the buzz with a grain of salt because it's just that...buzz.

Here's what she had to say about the ratings:

DAYS did pull a 3.0 in the overnight ratings for last Friday. For those of you who are not familiar with overnight ratings, they are a sampling of the major markets in the country. As Baby Brady reported to her message board, she stated the overnight ratings and not the actual rating for Friday which was released on Thursday, June 15. In many markets, DAYS aired at a later time, even in the wee hours of the morning on Saturday due to tennis coverage which accounted for the difference of the actual rating!

I think any soap's problems run deeper than any one character. Personally, I am a huge fan of OLTL Nora, and consequently have stopped watching -- but it would take far more than just a few glimpses of Nora (given this week) to lure me back to watching regularly. There is an anger and mistrust that just doesn't fade just because a character is 'reinstated' (and with Higley's Fronsvision, more than ample reason for that anger and mistrust.) After JER's longtime mistreatment of Matt Ashford, I wouldn't just tune in for glimpses of him sick. And Matt Ashford/Jack is only one of many stars/story with that type of situation.

I think the new writer will do more for DOOL than any star's or couples's return, even Stephen Nichols (loved him as Stefan Cassadine, but never seen him as Patch), and that it will take time, word of mouth, and in this case, one huge story to turn things around. (It should have been Zach's death, but they lost momentum.)

I don't buy it. Anyone familiar with the overnight ratings knows that DAYS' overnight ratings from the top metered markets are always LOWER than what the actual overnight ratings turn out to be (since DAYS does better in rural areas, while ABC shows do better in the big cities). So to have them drop drastically instead of going up when all markets are factored in is not only ludicrous, it's one for the gullible record books.

But believe who/what you want; facts never stopped anyone from buying into something they want to believe.

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned Passions' poor 6th place showing in the women 18-34 demos. And, this is not just a one-time fluke, as Passions has been ranking 5th or 6th in this category for the past one and a half months; indeed, this is by far the longest (and perhaps only) stretch in the show's history when it did poorly in the demos.

DAYS was not shown in Seattle on both Thursday AND Friday (well it wasn't shown on NBC main affiliate KING, it was on KONG (which is a sub-affiliate, that not everyone gets). I had to watch the east coast feed @ 10 in the morning to watch it and sometimes on the Canadian feeds through GLOBAL.

DAYS most certainly will drop next week if Thursday and Friday are included.

I agree. I mentioned something about this a month ago. PSNS has REALLY suffered demographically recently, especially in 18-34, a demo they used to do SOOOOOOO well in and even sometimes would tie or occasionally beat DAYS for #1.

I honestly am suprised NBC renewed the show considering their huge drops in demos.

JER is poison, he needs to be released from his duties at PSNS aswell. That soap needs SERIOUS help!

Someone at SOC, discussing Higley, Frons and the execution spike in ratings, commented on the vision I'd say both Higley and JER seem to advocate, which often involves purposefully angering viewers (easiest to do with the long time fans): 'an angry viewer is an invested viewer' was quoted to be her (and Frons' belief) -- and one doesn't have to look hard to see style similarities with JER. One problem is that one just runs out of shocking things after awhile, and the audience, especially a younger one used to being thrilled, will start channel surfing at even the slightest lull. The other, more in the case of DOOL, long-term anger soon causes longer term viewers to stop caring and tune out.

OLTL was brilliant during May, which is good because it was pretty dull before that. IA, Dena does the same thing, she has big months and then everything else is slow to progress. But, IMO, from what I've seen from June so far, it looks like they are trying to fix that.

    • 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.
