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!

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

    • These contract guarantees of 1 ep per month are ridiculous. How can you even have a story if your character apprars 4-5 times in a month? It's sad.
    • It's hard to tell with some actors appearing on average 4 times in a month whether they're recurring or just on a low guarantee contract. Someone recurring  like Beth Maitland can be used a lot for several months then disappear. So the monthly tallies aren't enough to go by.
    • 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.
