Glad Days held steady..Hopefully john and marlena's return helps them inch up a bit for this week..

AMC behind Days and Passions for girls 12-17?

WHAT?

Teen girls actually like Colby, Sydney and their paint-by-numbers storyline?

Makes me kind of concerned about the next generation.

I had the same gut reaction. Besides Sydney & Colby, last week had too much Aiden, Erin, Jonathan, & Lily for my tastes (but then again, I'm pushing 40 and male, so Frons wouldn't care what I think). If teen girls are tuning in for the crapfest, it justifies Frons' warped vision of Pine Valley. C'mon girls, stop watching!

Okay..not bad, not bad......So far, Beth is keeping DAYS steady until Hogan's material starts airing.

With BETH on board I believe the show will stay very high in the ratings until Hogan gets there.

I think she's responsible for the show holding steady at #3 these past weeks.

It's good to know that they have a strong 2nd in command, too. I was really stoked when I heard they brought her back after all these years.

I hope Beth will be as good as C.Culliton as Hogan's 2nd in command. If so, DAYS is really going to kick into high gear in the Fall.

What will be interesting to me, and I know that this is still too early to discuss (but this is a discussion board right will be if DAYS can garner better recognition within the daytime community and HOPEFULLY pick up a few emmy nominations for ACTING now that there is a very good writing team on board. I have always thought that the cast was talented but, under JER, none of them really had a chance to shine when you have storylines that no one can relate to.

They're a SHOO-IN.

People like the cast and crew, it was Reilly they had the problem with. He's more for ratings than awards.

Good! So many members of this cast deserve, at the very least, a nomination. Maybe it is because, me and so many others, care about the actors on this show and what they have gone through with Reilly, that we want to see them be recognized for work that they can finally be proud of.

A MERE 20,000 viewers separated ATWT from DAYS?

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm actually rooting for both DAYS and ATWT to rise in the ratings. It makes me happy whenever those two soaps are above GH.

GET DAVID KREIZMAN OUT NOW!!!

GL still has fight left in it and by damn it I want it's full potential to be used. GL has to realize this idiot is keeping us in limbo!!!

DAM needs to be back on contract as Edmund and Ava revealed as his and Olivia's daughter. Edmund and Cassie's story isn't done yet. Sorry I was a Cadmund fan and I haven't really loved a couple since them.

Maureen Garrett needs to be given a contract and back on my screen as Holly. Throw in a recasted Sebastian (cause I loved the idea of these two being together) and that will be a good start for me.

What will be interesting to me, and I know that this is still too early to discuss (but this is a discussion board right will be if DAYS can garner better recognition within the daytime community and HOPEFULLY pick up a few emmy nominations for ACTING now that there is a very good writing team on board. I have always thought that the cast was talented but, under JER, none of them really had a chance to shine when you have storylines that no one can relate to.

Thoughts?

Until the Academy does away with the current voting system, you will not see much change in the award system. The ratings and etc. have very little to do with who is nominated. If they did GL would not have had as many nominations as it did last year.

Days and Passions do not have the numbers they need in the voting process to make much difference. There are a few who will vote quality wise but the majority are voting for their own network or sister show. Politics dictate more with the Emmy's than anything else at this point.

DAYS hlding steady. Good.

I agree.

I agree.

Me too. The Emmy voters probably won't recognize the good actors and actresses that DAYS has because of political bias towards CBS & ABC. But that's for Emmy time.

It's good to see DAYS holding steady in the ratings. I hope they can keep up this momentum, especially with Hogan coming on later this month.
