You KNOW I did, Simone coming out is what lead me to watch Passions. I liked Simone right away and I like Passions and it's particularly quirky niche in the world.

Yeah, baby. Credit to Passions, *gulp* JER and NBC who took things further than AMC did on the physical expression but AMC, despite how badly they f*cked things up, did better portraying relationships for Bianca, imo. But that may change as we move through Simone's story. I was very very proud of Passions for those scenes though. And golly gee, the world didn't come crashing to an end after all. :rolleyes:

Simone's thang with Rae seemed sort of random though and didn't flow, they rewrote them about every time Rae appeared. I can deal with all that on some levels though as it's a soap. I am probably in the minority but the actor playing Rae doesn't do it for me and I don't think she and Cathleen Doe didn't have a lot of physical chemistry.

Cathy's getting better, more confident/comfortable with the physical expressions as she goes along, though. And she is as KA-YOOT, as can be. I adore Paloma, too...the actress just makes me giggle. Paloma is hotter than Rae (to me) and more personality-appropriate for Simone. Also Simone being with a core-family character is really important for longevity's sake. I hope, hope, hope they put them together for a whole other sort of Lesbian Rampage. *wink*

Back More on topic:

I'm *this* close to start paying real attention to DOOL again. I keep up and half/kind watch, listen to it in the background now. I am happy for the show's fans and in my own self-interest as an AMC fan, I hope DOOL"s scores a ratings bonanza that leaves McT and Frons crying like leetle gurls...and on their way out.

It frustrates me to no end to know that ATWT does so great in the Women 50+ ratings, yet TPTB don't seem to want to acknowledge that. It's like they're ashamed to say that their best ratings come from the "old ladies."

Honestly, if the old ladies continue to watch the show now, adding just a pinch of vets-in-storylines would probably do wonders. All it would take is the return of Don Hughes and a triangle with Lisa and Susan.

The ratings point represents households, not individual people.

So we can pretty much figure out from OLTL's high number of viewers that OLTL's households had more viewers watching the show.

Old men. Old, retired men watching with their wives. Whether they want to or not, lol.

I know so many men who watch ATWT, and they're not 50+. Isn't it surprising, that a show like ATWT that's supposed to be for "old ladies" gets bigger ratings w/ men than a show w/ the mafia and shoot-outs every damn week. :rolleyes: Just saying...

The show needs to start looking at its two key demos (Women 50+, Men 18+) and start respecting them; otherwise, P&G is going to can both its soaps next year. JMO

I can't remember exactly where I read it.....but I read that over 80% of male soap viewers were over 50. That seems reasonable to me, since my grandparents (both sets) have always watched the CBS soaps, and my grandfathers don't seem particularly interested in them despite watching with my grandmothers.

And the truth is, the networks would be perfectly willing to lose every single male soap viewer, because they don't make a dime off them.

    • 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.
