RATINGS: DAYS Moves Into #3 In Key Demos: 18-49 and 18-34; B&B Gains Most Total Viewers

35
Remember this:
DAYS delivers daring daytime drama!
GH has only one good storyline (Ryan) to keep everyone interested right now. If not Frank, someone needs to come in and dump the characters that aren’t working. Peter, Finn, Nina and (sadly now) Griffin have run their course. Jason and Sam don’t have the spark anymore. The injection of Margeaux into the otherwise good Mike’s Alzheimer storyline stopped the momentum. If Oscar’s sick, it’s time for the makeup department to make him look that way. Ryan’s storyline casts a great net, includes many vets and has that can’t wait to see what happens next element. Step up your game… Read more »
AGREE, Steve, (although, I like Nina).
The Ryan story is dull, very weak.
It has no suspense, no thrills, no hard mystery, no intrigue, Ryan is a total fail as a villain he’s a stale limpid and as scary as a bunny ..
DAYS DESERVES ANOTHER PICKUP!!!
Y&R continues to sink in the quicksand created by Mal Young. CBS needs to can this failure ASAP. As Y&R collapses, they drag B&B down too.
The killy fans will not be satisfied until kelly and billy are on the unemployment line and GH is cancelled. Frank needs to step up and do something with the golden goose JaSam soon. People are tired of waiting while he tries to stroke one actor’s ego and a small fan base.
If you’re watching soaps just to see something huge happen then turn them off again, you probably need to find some other form of entertainment. Even bad, and they can get bad, there’s always a storyline I want to see that keeps me tuning in. And within those bad stories there’s always some hidden surprises. Even in that nonsense of memories on a hard drive or people being injected with a resurrecting juice of life. Just my opinion where ratings are concerned. Otherwise, I’m calling them out on their nonsense. Period. But I’m not turning it off.
By the way. On another note. Is anyone else on here getting to see Head writer, the late great Douglas Marland turn as Head writer of the Doctors on Retro Tv? This is leading up to his turn on General Hospital with Gloria Monty as the new Executive Producer that revived and changed Daytime in the late 70’s/80’s. Kathryn Harrold as Nola Dancy. Just WOW.
Oh yes, davlestev1: I am totally watching, via the web. And I’m as impressed as I expected to be. (And even with some things that aren’t perfect, it’s far, Far, FAR better than anything on the air today. I am reminded why I started watching soaps in the first place and watched them with such satisfaction for several decades–I haven’t felt any of that in a long time, I must say.)
Even in his first headwriting assignment, Marland was just so far above so many of the “writers” daytime has seen. . . .
I’m not believing (nor even caring) that Nicole died in the very secret “hospital” where there were rooms and rooms mysteriously labeled with the initials of other back-from-the-dead characters.
Yeah, ChandlerFan,
Kind of nuts, eh? Pardon the pun….
I love Dool, but when I am faced with infantile, repetitive and imbecilic scenes, I question the mental stability of these writers…..
…….I missed the door with Stefano’s name-tag on it. Was there such a door?
Of course, the new storyline will be Mimi, Rex and the baby ( didn’t catch here name?). I am actually looking forward to it…..love Mimi and Farah!
The warehouse fire would have been far more meaningful if it somehow involved accidentally destroying all of the shirts owned by Ben, Tripp, JJ, Will, Sonny, and Paul. Just saying…
Consider how much money the producers could save by not purchasing shirts for these actors. Clearly, it’s the right move to bring the show back to profitability.
I just want the remaining for to survive because i doubt there will never be a new one…i dont watch all four but i still want them all there in case i start watching more…wish all four would rise in the ratings
four not for and ever not never
OK.. this “headline” threw me… for a bit… @DAYS deserves to be … way up their in the world of ratings deserve and not subject to “last” General Hospital is pitiful General Hospital is in last place General Hospital is run by the worst Executive Producer and “Writing” I want that, Frank Valentini, is subjected to; in his face … implosion of all that is ABC / Disney / General Hospital : take umbrage.. take note … care about your product FIRE : Frank Valentini for “his” wasteland he continues to keep front burner : by his choice .. the… Read more »
PS: Ms. Ali Sweeney : you have never looked more woman… this softer side of you is PRESENT .. all the sibling share is bee’s knees
I”m so glad, Stacy Haiduk .. reigned
@days could keep bringing back.. this powerful actress… as mentioned “assured quality” “thank you, Ms. Haiduk” kooky, in this mix and time.. right on
Susan, reminds me that the times are not altered
Ali Sweeney this visit this ride DELIVERED keep coming back… so with Susan
Agreed, Patrick; although, I like Roger Howarth-just not as Franco (and not really with Liz).
Not surprised about GH’s ratings. The show is hard to watch. Sad. Frank needs to start paying attention to comments, tweets, etc., most of us say the same thing over and over again. The show is in the toilet. Instead of pushing his “pet” agenda, take a new approach.
Exactly, AVP! The ratings are tanking because even those of us who try to stick with this show end up going online to watch only the scenes highlighting our favorite characters, since trying to get through an entire episode is utterly excruciating.
Funny thing, AVP, Frank does pay attention to the comments/tweets. That’s why Genie Francis is back on contract into a major story. In the month she’s been back, she’s been on screen a lot. Frank needs to listen to the other comments or he runs the risk of Finola Hughes leaving as the writing has made Anna almost unrecognizable (Finn and Peter have her being almost dull). I know you like Nina. Stafford is a fine actress, but Nina’s kind of run her course. I’m not an anti-newbie. I find Curtis refreshing, think Chase has potential, warmed up to new… Read more »
Steve, in regards to #genieisgh, yes, Frank did finally wise-up. As far as Anna, and the on-slaught of newbies and the bloated cast, he doesn’t appear to be paying attention. I like Curtis. I don’t have an opinion on Chase. I’m not a fan of the teen-scene, and Kim and Oscar are “filler,” IMO. I miss the adventures of the ’80’s, and early to mid ’90’s.
Most days, I find DOOL very entertaining to watch. Ron is doing a great job using so many of the characters in story and those he brought back have ties to characters we already love. There are high stakes involved in the story lines and most of them build to a climax. On the other hand, GH has been very uneven and pushes so many of its characters to the background and keeps them there for long periods of time…think Monica, Amy, Epiphany, Felix, Mac, Felicia, Bobbie, Scotty, Max, Milo, Diane, Terry, the kids, etc…while playing new characters with the… Read more »
Problem with Days is that about 1/3 of the people you see on screen are “temporary” returns who are about to leave again. Another 1/3 are contract cast members who we know will be gone soon (thanks to the ridiculous 6 months ahead taping schedule) and a big chunk of the remaining 1/3 are either newbies or recasts of long forgotten characters, some of which should have stayed forgotten. (Rex “gemini twin” Brady?? Who the Hell asked for him to come back? And Sarah Horton should be in her 40s by now. Or in her 50s, since that now dead… Read more »
Days should be no1. Y&R is awful, Mal Young should be fired.
agreed
I think DAYS is moving up because of the gorgeous glut of great-looking men. More than GH or Y&R (all they have are Nick and Cane). Casey Moss, Robert Scott Wilson, Chandler Massey, Christopher Sean, Eric Martsolf, Galen Gering, Greg Vaughan, Freddie Smith, and the imminent arrivals of Greg Rikaart and Brandon Barash all add up to success in my book. That’s what keeps me tuning in.
Too much “sacrifice” for ratings.
Days has been the best soap sinc August…by a mile
The gift that Ron Carlivati gives to daytime is his sense of humor. He writes with humor underneath even the most dramatic stories. This is what makes DAYS work. It was going down the toilet with the worst stories. Ron came in and shook things up. Yes DAYS uses stunts to gain viewers but manages to keep them by always dangling something new to keep them. I am happy with this regime. The Halloween episode was the BEST show out of all four on air. Ron gave major pay out to his viewers. I am thrilled with what’s ahead. I… Read more »

I’ve been watching GH for a long time, and I’m currently still enjoying the show, its been a while that I’ve posted and even read any comments regarding storyline, casting, or ratings but its funny one can go away for a while and things are still the same about what so called GH fans complain about, so now I laugh, because its really ridiculous that almost all the criticism about GH is still the same, there’s the Frank haters, the newbie haters, the ones still stuck in the 90’s wanting the vets back, the ones that are mad about GH… Read more »
Awesome! But they need to move up overall. I hope they can sustain the ratings. Days is really good. People need to watch!
GH is failing, it will die if they don’t clean house and get rid of the old and bring in new, new writers and producers..
GH stories are very predictable and reruns.
Most all of GH stinks, it stinks of OLD.
It is stale and moldy and repetitive.
GH will be canceled if someones doesn’t have the foresight to clean house.
I never thought I would say this, but if I miss a day of GH, B&B or Y&R it’s no big deal to me anymore. No more rush to get home to see what happens next, or setting up the dvr. And not for other daytime tv which holds no interest for me at all. Or the news which is all bad anymore it seems. So sorry for those caught in situations out of their control like flooding and wildfires. Soaps were supposed to be there to take us away from the real world for just a few hours everyday.… Read more »
