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 GH, if you want to survive.

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.

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.

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

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 dullest family with lap dog
AND his OLTL, star Michael Easton and Roger Howarth.. what a pathetic show

the article does read: General Hospital

“…In the rating share, GH tied an all-time low for the eighth straight week”.. whatever the desired demographic… at least I take satisfaction that I am not a part of that desired demo.. yet.. am feasting on knowing , that Frank / Shelly / Chris are lackey

they have catapulted GH to catastrophic

FIRE

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.

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 contract players. The stories often come out of left field and have little or no build up to the end….think Ryan’s weeks of non-scary cryptic lines about ending numerous people’s lives only to have the wonderful Mary Pat (one of the most refreshing new characters to hit GH in a LONG time) be killed; and off screen at that…(unless that was the day the news broke in and I just didn’t see it). Stories are rushed and beats are misses left, right and center so that their conclusion hits a sweeps period. I say that is lazy writing. It’s like they’re making spaghetti and throw it against the walls to see what will stick. The GH team is blessed with a very talented pool of actors but they just don’t seem to know how to write for them.

SO it’s no wonder to me that DOOL has surpassed GH in some demos. However, there are only four daytime soaps on network. Someone will always be on the bottom. I want them all to survive, whether I watch all of them or not.

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 airhog Daniel Jonas was hatched from the same batch of Maggie’s eggs)

This is the same stunt casting pattern that ReRon used on General Hospital. But it’s not sustainable for the long term.

Days should be no1. Y&R is awful, Mal Young should be fired.

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 think Stacy Haiduk is great as Susan but awful as Kristen. Her presence is too strong for this role. There is only one Eileen Davidson and she was the only one who could handle multiple roles like this. Every one else is really killing it on these storylines. I am so happy with the direction DAYS is taking.

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 overblown cast, and on and on and on. I’m not trying to sound disrespectful about individual taste, like and dislike, I mean there’s things about GH I still not over the moon about, but over-all at least for me GH is still worth watching its still watchable, its way better in my opinion the other soaps, (don’t go hating on me) I expect any Y&R,dool and BB fan to think the same of their show. I’m really happy with the GH cast, the current stories playing and yeah theres still parts of it that frustrate me, but I’m not going around wishing the show gets cancelled because of it. long live GH.

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. And not so downer themselves like GH has been for far too long.

At the same time I want soaps to thrive and survive. While I may have certain characters and actors that I prefer over others, and can handle a mix of vets and newbies, for me it comes down to good story telling that is lacking…the kind that got me hooked on soaps in the first place.

I’ve even noticed that many familiar MF reader’s names don’t appear as often as they used to. And that commenting used to be more fun with speculations and humor. Maybe I’m contributing to that today. Sorry about that. I’ll partially blame it on the gloomy weather we have had in my part of the country for what seems days and days. :))
