Days Of Our Lives
RATINGS: DAYS Has Strong Week! Only Soap to Show Total Viewer Gains!

55
I’m glad for any improvement in ratings because I don’t want to lose my show and because I know the actors are giving their all despite the awful writing. I’m really looking forward to the Tomlin/Whitesell work to begin airing. It doesn’t matter to me who shot Stefano since he’s not dead anyway; Lexie’s departure will be heartbreaking and Renee Jones is doing a great job in her portrayal of a dying woman leaving her little boy; Carrie needs to pack her bags and go already; Kate and Junior’s storylines after messing with documents and secret letters should get interesting;… Read more »
I am happy for any gain in Days ratings. ^^^Not a safe fan and hope they never go back to that boring twosome again. Ejami brings the hot, natural chemistry they have to the show. They have always belonged together and it’s time they were given their chance.
I love your comment. I agree totslly. SAFE were so boring and EJAMI are hot. however Tomlin is a safe fan and that worries me. I am happy for the ratings increase.DAYS has been so good lately.
No, I’m not digging Days again and probably never will. People keep leaving that show, viewers and cast members alike. There will soon be no one left in the cast that I like. With Molly leaving, the only person left that I care anything about is Peter and we still don’t know if he’s staying or going. I’ve moved on to one of the top dogs, B&B. The problem here, though, is way too much of the Steffy/Liam/Hope triangle. Enough already! Wrap it up and move on! Then they’ve started this story of Caroline and her two mommies, but we’ve… Read more »
So happy that Days gained again. Not looking forward to the Olympics pre-empting my soap this summer!
Wish we’d see more John and Marlena in a full-out story of their own, with others helping out, love when a lot of the cast is inter-twined in a story arc. More romance for John and Marlena too.
Also, would love to have Matt Ashford, and Christie Clark stay. Bring back Eric, Belle, Shawn, and Claire too.
Days was preempted on Friday for the French Open. Sometimes soaps are interrupted for breaking national or local news. My local stations feel compelled to interrupt for every multiple murder, police chase, or mayor’s press conference, etc. Don’t the networks and local stations understand that if people make their afternoons free to watch soaps they don’t care about sports or news, which can easily wait for another couple of hours?
Your absolutely right david. A couple times last week our local news went on as soon as general hospital was to start, and I am yelling out loud calling them jerks, why couldn’t they do it when that stupid revolution was on who watches that? Seriously, if a tornado is about to hit my house ok interrupt my soaps for anything else I will catch it on the evening news on another network of course. I do miss my local abc news but until the soap problem is fixed I can’t watch
Maybe if RC would stop killing babies – GH would rise in the ratings.
Agree. Who thinks children dying in car accidents, infant mortality, and mothers’ grieving is fun?
It’s not. but I hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel and things get reversed.
Agreed! I’m loving GH, but hate storylines that involve kids dying. How many kids have died on RC’s watch? Too many!
Yes I want the ratings to improve but I don’t see that happening until DAYS gets back to some normalcy. I really don’t care who shot Stefano he is alive somewhere. They need to put a disclaimer at the end of every show saying “subject to change until Tomlin/Whitesell take over”! I’m ecstatic that Carrie is gone it would be nice if it was tomorrow! With her insane tweets sounding like a jealous wife to her terrible panting over Rafe from the moment she got back to Salem, if I never see her again it will be to soon. I… Read more »
I thought they had to rip everyone apart to sell Sami and Rafe.
Sami wasn’t Sami and Ej wasn’t Ej and we never knew who Rafe even was.
I never liked Sami and Rafe for that reason. Sami actually turned into Carrie while she was with Rafe. He made her boring as heck, and Sami Brady should never be boring. No wonder he felll for Carrie. She’s the real thing.
EJ and Sami have a pull to each other that I don’t think they understand most times. Even Will realizes that!
I completely agree. I LOVE EJole and EJami will NEVER work or be as good together. For those who say Sami and EJ always only loved each other, NOT TRUE!!! In 2010, when EJami was going to get married, Sami kept fantasizing about Rafe. You do NOT do that when you’re in love with someone. I wouldn’t mind a Safe reunion, but I LOVE Cafe, and heard rumours that Carrie will return solo sometime in the distant future, meaning a Cafe reunion. Also, I like the idea of Racole and Lumi, though it seems like Daniel and Nicole might be… Read more »
So when EJ was at the alter with Nicole he was thinking about SAMI and when he was making love to Nicole he was thinking about SAMI.
I’m still not interested in what’s happening with the show! Most and foremost, I hate what MarDar did to the characters and my fave couple, Sami and Rafe! They are the reason why I watch in the first place. Since they are apart, I have no reason to watch!!! Who cares who shot Stefano?? Just die already! The Dimeras always get away with murder and really, it’s starting to annoy me! I hate to see Matt Ashford leave. TPTB didn’t even give him a decent SL! Maybe, Jack & Jen could have worked together again in the Salem Spectator. That… Read more »
I agree. Sami cheating with EJ because she was sad was SO stupid! While I like both Cafe and Lumi, and enjoy Nicole’s chemistry with Rafe, I think that Safe was a good, genuine and realistic couple that only got split up becaues of two reasons: Sami’s horniness and the writers’ foolishness.
For the first time in quite awhile I couldn’t wait to watch DAYS. Color me shocked. I’d about thrown in the towel.
EJ/Will/Sami top notch stuff. Lexie telling Abe how she’s not ready to die made me misty.
Some of the stuff is kinda silly with the Who Killed Stefano and the keystone cops and wanna be murderers, but other than that. Better than it has been since November.
General Hospital desperately needs some romance and happiness right now!! My vote is for Dante and Lulu to take center stage again, since their chemistry and fun-loving ways are addictive!! There is way too much sadness on this show right now, and I could really do without the Llandview residents until we get our missing GH cast back on screen….especially the talents of Dominic Zamprogna and Julie Berman, but also Jason Thompson and Lisa LoCicero!! I am loving crazy as a loon Heather though!! Also loving Anna as the new police commish!!!
It would be great if we could get Lante and some love in the afternoon on GH instead of dead babies, baby swaps, and how many people have been killed off lately. Not the way to raise ratings.
ABC needs to promote GH during prime time and through out the day.
They won’t do that because they are to dam cheap, they are saving there money for katie, the view, the chew, that good afternoon america garbage and their ads for there prime time crap shows, what a waste of money and time, I hope the ratings go even further in the toilet then they are now.
OOPS, Except for general hospital.
Actually, they do now promote GH during the day. But not during the night.
Really, I wouldn’t know anymore because I don’t watch any of their daytime shows except general hospital and all they do is show whats happening on the chew the next day or into the next week, Even when I did before they canceled the soaps they never, daytime or prime time promote the soaps and abc was always on in my house.
I started watching Days since AMC ended. I am getting into the storylines but some of the characters are really boring. I want to see more folks come to GH from OLTL and then maybe some from AMC. I want to support soaps.
As a fan of the hospital staff on GH, there really isn’t a reason for me to watch right now. I’d love to see a story with Patrick moving on from his grief, Elizabeth dating Ewen (not being stuck in Jason’s story!) I’m really sad to see Matt go because with Robin and even Maggie, that’s a loss of a lot of the hospital side. GH is all about the mob people and the OLTL stars, I’m not really interested in any of that, so I don’t care about the story lines on the show right now. Maybe they will… Read more »
I still don’t have alot of interest in Days. I watch occasionally because of the Lexie storyline. Renee is doing an awesome job and i have definately needed a few tissues during her scenes. These writers have ruined so many couples and characters , i hope the new writers can start to fix the mess that they had created and start writing some good storylines. We need storylines that revolve around family, romance, friendship , not storylines that revolve around people bed hopping and blackmail, these stories have been done over and over . These new writers need to start… Read more »
I can’t wait to see who else is getting the axe…Hopefully, Rafe and Brady…Both are useless in my opinion. So glad to see Ian, Carrie, Austin and Madison will soon be gone. I wasn’t overly upset to see Jack leaving, I can’t say why but he doesn’t do it for me. If Jennifer is staying, I would rather she be with Daniel. Now, if the show would hurry up and put EJ and Sami back together again, I would really be happy. Safe was the most boring couple and I ff thru their scenes. I much prefer Lucas and Sami… Read more »
Jennifer and Daniel DO need to reunite. Her and Jack being together is SO dumb and outdated! But I disagree about an EJami reunion…bring on EJole! I respect your opinion, though.
I demand EJAMI as well.
Days need to write a real love story for EJ and Samantha, they need to commit to this chemistry filled, dynamic and compelling couple. They truly are supercouple material & that is Days forte. Follow the chemistry, give them their chance. James Scott and Alison Sweeney are in a league of their own, they are so charasmatic together. The show needs to capitalize on it’s best asset and move forward with this love story,
GO GH!!!! WE ARE RIGHT BEHIND B&B IN 18-49….THATS ALL THAT MATTERS ANYWAYS! KEEP WATCHING GH. & GO TO ABC.COM & LET IT PLAY ALL THE WAY THROUGH…THATS COUNTS IN RATINGS!
I’m only watching Days ATM. Some of it is good and some, not so much. I’ve really enjoyed Lexi’s story, and I’m glad Renee Jones is getting a good farewell on the show. I’ve loved her scenes with Abe and EJ and Stephano. So touching. And Renee, along with James Scott, James Reynolds and Joe Mascolo, have given moving performances. I’m enjoying Will’s story although I think he’s being more than a bit of a pill to Sami. And I love Chandler Massey. I liked the staging of Stephano’s death, although I’m praying the Phoenix will rise again. Joe Mascolo… Read more »
This past week seemed to be the only week that it actually felt like sweeps. The previous weeks felt like it was for a non-sweeps period, very odd. Some good things happened so I’m happy about that. For example, I cry every time I see Lexie try to make amends and final requests with those she loves and I lost it when she talked with EJ. I was pitiful! However, there are a lot of things that needs to be fixed on this show. The pacing is horrible. People seem to have the same conversations every week, as if viewers… Read more »
Happy to see an increase in the ratings. It’s a start but so much work has to be done to save these shows. I’m trying so hard to hang in with DAYS – Marlene and Darrell wrote a good Will story, brought Sami back to life and created an EJ/Will relationship. However I have serious issues with their pacing of the show. I hope Tomlin & Whitesell will improve pace and finally move many of these stories forward. My personal belief is that DAYS cannot go back to Safe/Ejole or the like – those couples played out long ago and… Read more »
“You simply can’t go back.” Perfect explanation for why bringing back old characters and keeping them in old plots didn’t work out for Days. Fans want new twists on old themes, which is precisely the reason why Ejole, Lumi, or Safe should stay in the past.
Dear god I hope they don’t “fix” Safe. Lucas and Sami is a better couple, EJ and Sami are the best.
I don’t think Days can afford anymore Rafe worship. They’ve already pushed that couple past my tolerance level.
I’m living the who shot Stefano story because of all the cast interaction. I like seeing so many characters involved in the same storyline.w
I’m happy to see that Days is making a gain in the ratings. The writers need to continue to build on the relationship b/t EJ and Will, and bring EJAMI closer. EJ and Sami deserve a real love story. James and Alison make the show worth watching in my opinion Lexie’s story line is very moving, and I’m mildly interested in the Stephano whodunit. Get rid of Madison, Ian, Gabby, they are all useless characters. Wrap up this Nicole pregnancy story line. Nicole hiding the baby from EJ is just a repeat of what Sami did with Sidney. Great to… Read more »
It was a good week. Really liked the noir dramá of the Stephano shooting.
Thoroughly into Lexi’s last scenes. Makes me cry and over the years what they did with her character made me dislike her.
But the best parts — of course! Are the Ejami interactions!
” 50 shades of messed up,” Samantha declares to EJ and women all over the land swoon!
There is no Days, for me, without Ejami. Therefor, I won’t be watching a day next week. ::/
Days is doing really well by having Will storyline more than just him being gay, but also have him come out and point out the subtle hints of a flirty relationship between him and Sonny. Maggie and Victor have some drama FINALLY after not being seen for a while. The Gabi thing looks like it will end soon, and Melanie is leaving so Melanie and Chad will probably discover her secret, as will everyone else. But with Melanie leaving, does that mean that Chad and Gabi will reunite? If Chad discovers that Gabi has been trying to split him and… Read more »
I think EJ and Sami are borderline soulmates or they wouldn’t do and say what they say to each other and still end up in bed. They’ve had a pull to each other since he showed up in town, and it’s still there. Jack should leave Jen because I’ve really come to dislike her. Especially the way she treated Jack during that awful Jack/Jen/Daniel triangle. Now her and Jack are engaged and I didn’t even see their reunion on screen. Such bad writing there. Chad can leave town and take Gabi and Rafe with him. In fact he should at… Read more »
Well, Melanie (and Ian) are leaving town anyway. Melanie will not be here for July, and Ian will be gone after summer break. I like Gabi, Chad and Rafe being on screen, but they need better storylines. If Carrie is leaving, we can see more of Rafe being at work, interacting with Gabi, Nicole and Daniel (and maybe Sami..), and just being more interesting. But I will miss seeing him with Carrie. Gabi needs to either move on or get with Chad already! I think she will be interesting when everyone finds out about her stalker thing, and how Rafe… Read more »
I would love for Days to finally give Ejami a chance. JS and AS have such a unique interaction when they are actually allowed to be together. Chemistry between actors can NOT be forced it HAS to come naturally and it is definitely there with JS and AS. I am so tired of the Days of the Perfect, Hypocrite Rafe and the even more hypocritical Brady Clan! No wonder Joe Mascolo is getting pissed off about how Stephano is being written. Ooops global warning, lets blame the Dimeras, oops earthquake lets blame the Dimeras, oops someone farted, lets blame the… Read more »
I am loving the scenes between Sami and E.J. Ali and James have tons of chemistry and I can’t wait to see them finally become a couple! It’s their time now, all the other couples got their chance! EJami is the best thing about DAYS (right now). RJ is doing an amazing job, Lexie is making me cry. I will miss her terribly. I am also enjoying the relationship between E.J. and Will. I love Bill and Katie over at B&B, I love that Katie is pregnant. Now I just need Hope to dump Liam, Steffy can have him! Love… Read more »
Yay for Days rising! I’ve been loving EJ and Sami lately and can’t wait to see them toogether. Those too are just amazing in scenes. The way EJ looks at her is breath taking. I’ve never got that vibe with EJ and Nicole. Always got the vibe that EJ was settling because he couldn’t have Sami. And now they’ll be extra drama with Nicole pregnant. I still want EJ and Sami together in the end. Loving the Will story, and I’m so sad about Lexie. I just learned from my Aunt that the actress is leaving so Lexie really will… Read more »
In this time when all soaps are hanging on and trying to survive, I am thrilled that DAYS did so well this week. They were showcasing a few of their best actors in some really dramatic material. We had the very emotional storyline with Lexie (Renee Jones) and how she is deteriorating and saying her final good byes to her family & friends and making peace with her family. Truly emotional – charged and powerful stuff from her! The Stefano storyline has got everyone going and what a way to end it, leaving everyone hanging on! The dramatic opera music… Read more »
I love Days! I thought the Stefano murder was fun to watch. I hate that Stefano was murdered, but hopefully he’ll be coming back!
My 2 fave dynamics on Days are EJ/Will and EJ/Sami.
I also enjoy Will/Sonny and Will/Sami scenes too!
I primarily watch Days for EJAMI and hope to see a romance between them soon! EJAMI fans have waited 6 years to see them together as a real couple and it’s time for them to be together! Such amazing chemistry!
Days has had some good moments lately. I’m interested in the “who shot Stefano” storyline, but I have a feeling that the Phoenix will rise again and that none of the investigation will matter in the end. What I’ve really enjoyed are all the scenes with Lexie (heartbreaking!), as well as Will and Sami. Go Renee, Chandler and Ali! Sami is my #1 favorite character on Days, and I feel like the real Sami has returned after the past few years of a weird adaptation of Sami beginning with the horrible “Safe”house. Thank you soap gods for getting her away… Read more »
I am loving Days, now that Sami is returning to herself, and spending more time with Ej. I will not miss a day, I want to see every bit of returning Ejami.
Just want to say that I normally don¨t watch soaps, but after seeing the couple EJami I ‘ve become interested in Days, and can say that the writers would be stupid if they don’t take advantage of their explosive chemistry, in addition, they are interesting it’s not exactly a mediocre soap couple we’re talking about here, then I think they should get rid of characters that are boring. Today’s television viewers love complex characters, passion, desire and who wants to see super heros with zero personality, maybe 20 years ago but now it’s gray characters that are popular and if… Read more »
What!?!? is with Daniel kissing Nicole…. I don’t think so… was she doing that cause she “switched” DNA? Hello. WHY NOT KAYLA AND DANIEL? Daniel… needs to zip it up… and tryst with a real woman… patient, simmering, flirting, wanton lusts… Kayla is more than able. Hospital action. i have to laugh about Austins’ sheer what? ignorance? radiates happiness… LOL… i don’t see what’s going on… I’m having a baby! LOL. oh Carrie… muster up some libido… this is YOUR husband. at least billie is trying to steer him to wake up. does any one think Billie and Shane have… Read more »
not since Kristen and Peter… has Stefano connected with any one. Stefano has many layers to his persona… and his family is true to form… EJ is like a chip off the old block…
I saw Stefano in his coffin today. Kate touched his hand and Lexi kissed him. How could he not be dead? He would be cold to the touch. I hope he isn’t dead and he doesn’t come back as a ghost. That didn’t work for Alan Q on GH. Did they take another dead body and make it look like Stefano’s? When will we find out the truth?
