Well, I'm glad that ATWT is at least consistent...I guess. And that GL's ITLs seem to be doing okay. Usually they were the lowest alongside Friday.

Fridays are always the lowest days for CBS.

LOL at GH. How the mighty have fallen. I'd rather see Days in the #3 slot than that poor excuse for a soap opera.

Wonder where Y&R is in the 18-49 demos? How far in front of DAYS?

Good to see both DAYS and PSNS do so well this week. If DAYS can just hold on to a 2.6 I really feel DAYS is in good position to catch B&B come November. IMO B&B is in a big downward spiral as well as the entire ABCD lineup which is sad. What is ABCD waiting for, fire some people already.

OMG: B&B's ratings are terrible! :(

I guess the ratings will go up this week, because of Macy's death.

What's the problem? The writing - it's time Bradley Bell handed over the writing gig to someone new and more talented. B&B has one of the best casts, and yet they are constantly let down by repetitive drivel.

I won't be shocked if Bell brings back Sean Kanan and/or Adrienne Franz in an effort to arrest the slide, and also the Brooke/Stephanie war is reignited.

One thing that isn't straight out obvious in these ratings is Y&R has been doing really well since they were put on Soapnet, for the past month their daily numbers are usually ranking in the top 30 of like their 200 episodes this television season (since September). And GH is nosediving like I've only seen DAYS really do (in terms of once being relatively "high" in the rank no matter what, then suddenly the payback coming out of seemingly nowhere), it has coincided with Y&R's healthy viewership jump but really GH only competes against GL in half the country (and in half the country no soap opera competition). Maybe Soapnet has helped Y&R lure regular GH fans?

Save Y&R and DAYS relatively speaking (for a few months 2.6 would have been unusual for them), these numbers are scary, hopefully B&B doesn't fall below 3.0. AMC "dominating" the ABC line-up with a STINKEN 2.5. is scary - scary especially because it's ABCD's high number.

Yay for DAYS! But, we must remember they had such a huge fall last week that a +3 isn't really that fantastic. However, on the other end of the coin, it is third place which is great and justly deserved, IMO, and #1 in the demo's is nice. And 2.8's is very nice! I will try not to be too happy though because until there are STEADY changes and consistently GREAT episodes/weeks, then ratings will continue to flip and flop, and I don't feel like being on the Ratings Hope Roller Coaster anymore!

As for GH? I'm happy......

Wow. Wasn't last week the big Darla death on B&B? -.2, well, doesn't look like that is paying off.

    • 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.
