I'm quite honestly shocked that Y&R does SO well despite being re-aired on SOAPnet! Three times a day also!

I think it is a true testament to Y&R's continued success in daytime, in an age of budget cuts and falling ratings.

I also have to wonder if Y&R's ratings will increase even MORE than usual during holidays, since the show is being exposed to more working people and those too lazy to tape the shows during the day. During the new year, Y&R's rating was 4.8, right? What if it gets a 5. Or even MORE?!

I just hope a ballgame isn't airing on any major network that day.

Nice to see AMC at least not dropping any further. I=DAYS would have to get increases sooner or later and most DAYS fans seem to be pleased so good for them. I guess its [!@#$%^&*]'s stuff that is airing now?

More people tuned in for Coop & Ava's ITL than Friday's show? :blink: I also remember that most people on this board (me included) were !@#$%^&*]ing about how boring Thursday was so I'm surprised by the 2.4 rating. Not that I'm complaining...it's nice to see GL finally rise out of it's 2.1 rut. :)

DAYS is still at a 1.7 in the demos, so are the past viewers for DAYS coming back to see Patch and Kayla? It seems DAYS is slowly going up in Women 50+ and Women 25-54 and staying stagnant in the 18-49 demos. I am just glad to see DAYS at a 2.7 and in 3rd overall; it is well deserved. I cant wait for the overall numbers, LOVE seeing ABC failing because the execs their dont seem to care about the fans. A change is needed for all 3 ABC soaps IMO.

Its sad to see ATWT so low! :( I hope GL can somehow get up to a 2.3 and stay there so hopefully it will stay on the air.

DAYS is doing good at a 2.7 with NO lead in like some other soaps. Hopefully by November Sweeps when Hoagie is in full swing DAYS can reach the 3#'s again.

Well I knew they would get 3rd but I was thinking 2.8 but 2.7 is good too. Just as long as they are up where they belong. It is going to be a slow and steady climb but I do think by the end of the summer Days will be in very good position. As always, the damn weekly 2.5 killed them. I thought Abe and Lexie on Monday might keep that number up-oh well.

Glad to see GH be one of the only ones to fall (that is what you get for continuing to kill core characters) and seeing many of the soaps go up is great.

Yay for Days. The ratings overall aren't too good.

As to the Y&R ratings, SoapNet has not hurt them that much, but there were several weeks there where they did fall or stay the same. This week I am glad to see that even they went back up.

SOAPnet is the savior and possibly finally landing point for soaps. It is a good thing, imo.

I'd love for soaps to be predominantly cable and get away from some of the broadcast network and FCC pressure.

Keep sinking, please ABCD and Brian Frons. BTW, Bri...how's that pesky HR issue over at The View?

Oh I would love to see the soaps go cable. Esp to a network like F/X. Can you imagine the type of stories we could get. I know that we would get some nudity and all, but that is not what would make it great - it would be the type of stories with realism and tough stories.

Just look at the type of stories shows like Rescue Me are doing.

I agree with your general point, but I have no interest in something comparable to Rescue Me. They just landed a whole lotta hell over a controversial rape scene that wasn't treated as such on screen. I watch AMC and have no desire to see anymore violations of women, por favor.

    • 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.
