Days Of Our Lives
RATINGS: DAYS Overtakes GH And Takes The Number Three Spot!
80
wtf, i’m overwhelm w/ the new look, the first thing i found myself looking for was the comment section, its my fave part of your website to know what my fellow soap fanatics think on any given soap news, so its disappointing that its hard to find and that we’ve been regulated to the bottom.
this is distracting.. all the busy -ness of multi-media . argh! with all due respect to Mr. MF. it is a business. all the trappings of internet. suck.
I hope all the past posts are brought back.
it wont let me comment
Hi Jim. Comments are working now. Had some tech issues yesterday with the launch. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks Micheal..glad im still able to be part of this wonderful group…you have the best site ever!!!
I was almost in tears for two days, aria……there was no warning, NOTHING. This is soooo disappointing because it is soooo cold, clinical and sterile–no true interaction with you guys. I guess it’s a matter of getting used to it ??
I thougt it was my both my cell and ipad….and, I was ready to call Apple. Wow!!
Good to know it idn’t just moi.
it will take some time getting used too…but im happy to see you and other familiar names back on here too…
Right back ‘atcha’, Jimmy.
Hi Celia – did you throw me a life line yesterday ? do you have an 8 year old. woah it was godsend… I SWEAR to “you”. I do not “work” computers.. I read and this site is about my maxed OUT. LOL. understand the tears. i’m going to have to give @Aria another shoutout… !!!! where are my soap addicts Hollah… all may be well any way… when I got that notification in my e-mail… I was like.. “something’s working” i’m not lost yet . “… If I lose you guys….what can I say? Au revoir? LOL. ” spill… Read more »
Yes, Patrick …thst was I. Wow!!!! You received that? I was experiencing despair because I thought my ipad went awry…..then, I tried my cell; same thing..and yes, my son Nico, who is 8 knows more about computers than I do. LOL.
He did tell me Error 404 meant that the website had probably moved.
My husband, actually, re-routed me to these new boards.
Imagine my relief when I saw all the familiar names. We’re like family and no one should mess with family. LOL…❤️
Going to keep an open mind but not really sold on the new look for the site. Also disappointed that so many of the comments on previous stories are gone (Including the one I just posted on this story over the weekend).
I am missing the allure of the darkness of the old board and the old message board-
It had an atmosphere– a deeper drama feeing..
Yes, I will miss the feeling of the now-defunct board 🙁
It was unique, indeed.. like none of the other sites/boards..
But! I also like change and Michael has done an outstanding job with this new site and it will serve him much better..
“…I am missing the allure of the darkness of the old board ”
thanks.. you are so funny and RIGHT on
all this glitz will not distract from my meaning
Ahhh, SuzieQ….we can get the darkness back. LOL.
I am beginning to like this……no one can send cryptic, ‘mean’ posts in our inbox any longer. HaHa….
Amen, su!!! This website’s so bright, I gotta wear shades! Between that and the “open floor plan” of the new “Fairman Manor,” I am feeling a bit bereft! Could we at least please go back to the black background and reverse type???
it is way too bright…i dont mind changes but i do miss the darker background…also wish there was an edit to correct mistakes or if i want to add something!!!!
Wonder how many up votes it will require to return to the dark background????? I just gave you the first one, jimh!
Hey there, CeeCeeGirl! I took a few days off and look what happened! Whilst this is an impressive effort, I have to admit I’m missing the old format,too, but I’m just glad we can still keep in touch! Anyway, will have to return to further delve into this brave new “Fairman World” when time permits. Hope all is well with you! Later, mia amica!
Welcome, amica mia bella…….I searched regularly in hopes of spotting you….here you are!!!!!
Later, Shaybelle.
WOW!!!!!! I really like this now, Shay. Mr. Fairman sends personal approvals of our comments? Thank you, sir!!!!!
Hey Shay, I mostly like how quickly there’s a turnover of comments. Nice!!
I did previously respond to you several times on the “old site,” regarding a few of our ongoing topics, CeeCee, but for whatever reason, my posts didn’t appear! Guess the “moving men” left them behind…Lol. Please try to reply directly to my link here so I can see if it will turn up in my email with Mr. Fairman’s “seal of approval,” okay? (Sounds very cool…) Anyway, I’ve much to say about NB, Anna, Scorpio, Finn and (of course!)….Alexis! Until my next installment, mia amica! P.S. Have you enountered the fair Miss Phyllis on any of the non-GH threads? Been… Read more »
Okey-dokey, Shaybelle… And, no, Phyllis has not made an “appearance”….I had to think twice, well; thrice , Shay, figuring out to whom you were referring. LOL…..I said to myself you could not be talking about Gina Tognoni….HaHa…. Remember the fall I took at the skating rink? Well, I was at the clinic…..so much pain….getting cortisone shots. My husband literally dragged me there, this morning ( by the hair)….Do not like doctors—oh, the irony of it all! …Ha!! So, you are OK with the revamped sites? At first, I thought communication would be too impersonal….but, as it turns out, it is… Read more »
Well, I hope Phyllis sees this post and knows that she is missed, CeeCee! So sorry to hear about your ongoing physical discomfort following your ice skating mishap….may you be feeling better in no time! At any rate, I’m trying my best to get into the spirit of celebrating this new format….I also like the more direct approach to replies…now if we could only have “private messaging,” too! However, I am still struggling a tad with the overall concept…it’s a bit too bright and airy for my taste…I’m not at all into the minimalist thing design-wise…white walls everywhere make me… Read more »
aria, I am totally with you here. Also, you would think that, on the day a massive change is made to the website, the comments would be up to date. Instead, on this inaugural day, the first few features appeared to have no comments as yet. Perhaps lost in the shuffle was my comment praising DOOL for its ratings surge. I predicted on these pages months ago that DOOL would indeed pass GH. In my opinion, both shows are decidedly deserving of their current trajectories… To end on a positive note, notwithstanding our shared complaints about the difficulty in finding… Read more »
@aria; @Jamesj75
wow disconcerting to say the least. LOVE your comment @aria .
“… fave part of your website to know what my fellow soap fanatics think on any given soap news, ”
I got this to work on my tablet … so we shall see if this is : a waiting for your consideration… ???
Hi James:
In order to do our launch, we unfortunately had to lose the comments on posts from May 10th on.
Otherwise, we would have continued on with more delays. Trust me, I did try to work it out, but it would have caused some other major issues through for out development team. The site is a new learning curve for everyone, and we are working on improving the comment section, as, you and I, know our community of posters is a very exciting part of the site, and letting people share their views. Best, Michael
Thank you for your reply, Mr. Fairman. I really appreciate it. I assumed that the transition necessitated delays in posting or other possible glitches. But, like others, I was panicking for a moment… I know that your primary role is as promoter/cheerleader/conduit for this genre. And you do an outstanding job in that regard! I also applaud your interest/willingness to allow this wonderful community of posters to air its wide-ranging views of the genre: supportive, critical, contemplative, humorous, impassioned, and indifferent. As we know, change doesn’t come easily for some of us, particularly for devout soap fans: a new actor… Read more »
Hope this makes it…i did say about the same about both GH and Days-they deserve the position they are in…GH is a bad train wreck right now…DR. Brandt pursing KIki without any other characters involved feels like a wasted filler moment…Franco and Finn dont work for me anymore-Franco no matter how they try to redeem him and Finn no matter who they pair him with…im still mad about Genie…and Frank V. who is a total weeni!!!
Hi, Jimmy…are you Jimh? There is another Jim……I’d like to make sure I got the right Jim. LOL.
yes,,,i forgot to use my h…ill add that starting today-lol
❤️
Are you watching DOOL, Jimmy? Ok…so, who do you think opened the door to Vivian’s buried-alive-‘tomb’?
I bet on Stefano? Who else? Andre? Tony? But, Tony is a good guy….and, Susan is in a ‘facility’.
Oh, wait…..what about Kristen?? Sorry, I’m all over the place. I guess I’m just ecstatic about finding you guys!!!!
Whoever it is, don’t you think it should have been aired as Friday’s cliffhanger?
i fell asleep and missed it…i suffer from chronic fatigue…im tired all day long…i will have to watch it on demand…and if someone opened it probably Stefan!!!
Hey look i can vote you a one up for comments…
it has to be Stefan….
I don’t know, Jimmy. From what I’ve gathered, Stefan is still mourning his mother…..and, he’s not that smart, LOL.
I am sorry about your problem, Jimmy….I understand, many people suffer from chronic fatigue. It was once considered a psychological problem….but, that conclusion went out the window with scientific progress in that field….what you have is very real.
Stay well, my friend.
Hey Jamesj75
thought we were all “lost” to each other forever! Couldn’t sign on!
Glad we are still here…glad MF worked things out…still missing a few other names…glad to see you are able to post gain!!!
haha. I think it’s so funny that we “regulars” were freaking out. We’ve all been on this site for a few years now and we’re like this little microcosm. I think the problem was that there was no warning! I thought I’d missed it because I hadn’t been posting as much recently. And then when I couldn’t sign on I was like, “it is me?” or is everybody having this problem. I thought how weird it would be if we all didn’t find our way back here; because we don’t have any other contact info…just poof!…gone! So happy to see… Read more »
Yes,,we needed a warning…where is that Lost In Space Robot…Warning!…Warning!…Will Robinson!…a new look is about to be launched!!!-lol
That would definitely have helped, Jimh! Lol
Hi rebecca1! I was feeling the same way, but relief has taken control… It’s great that we are all able to reconnect! Best to you and your loved ones!
And best to our other friends and posters here! You all make it interesting and fun!
Jamesj75…I think I went through withdrawal! Hahahah…I kept coming back to sign on and…nutthin! Felt like I was trying to get back into the house and I’d forgotten my key. I could look through the window but I couldn’t get in!
So glad to see your “smiling face” again! 😉
Hi Rebecca1 : Group hug , time, no?
@Jamesj75… “Nice” shared heart full
don’t ask me… when it may take upwards of 2-3 days for posts .. my first thought is always … I’ve been 86’d.
however.. these past 2 days was trembler and it was gonna shake me up
salute !
back to the grind – greasing the wheel
haha, Patrick, yes! Group hug! It’s like a family reunion, LOL! So happy you found your way back; it’s been quite the challenge. Do you think Michael did this to freak us out? 😉
I had been pleasantly distracted on the weekend by watching Harry and Meghan get married starting at 4am in the morning, and then followed it throughout the day. Real life soap opera with all of the elements right up until the final I Do’s. Happy, loving, joyful, family baggage on both sides, a big change for Royal wedding, etc. Plus I kept away from all of the news. So when I checked into MF I wondered if I had entered into some alternate universe. Then I remembered Michael was doing a redo. Glad to see familiar “friends” have figured it… Read more »
Days is on fire, finally over taking GH in the ratings is terrific news.
Amen!
GH’s storylines are so predictable and repetitive. Whereas Days has twists and turns that you never saw coming. GH storylines just meander without an ending. Days wrap up their storylines within 90 days.
Well GH, you didn’t listen. In fact, you never listen. We have been screaming how much we hate the re-write of Anna Devane, how much we hate it when new characters come in and take over the show, and how much we hate it when you disrespectfully kick our vets to the curb. Yet, you turn a deaf ear and do everything we hate. Will you listen now?
Justin, TPTB and Wright’s boyfriend, Ramsey, are ruining this show. I don’t tune in to watch “The Peter August Show.” What a terrible storyline, brought on by terrible acting. The comments on social media are in-sync with ours. TPTB had plenty of time to kill this storyline and change the story arc. But, they had to give this guy a job. Apparently, he wasn’t able to land auditions (or jobs) on his own. Watching him attempt to act, I can see why. To rewrite a beloved character, such as Anna Devane, is unforgiveable. All to prop-up and p*mp out “Mr.… Read more »
Hi dmr; glad to see you! But, I have to disagree. I’m loving Wes Ramsey, I’m loving his portrayal and I’m loving the story. The writers have to shake things up a bit otherwise we’d just be getting the recycled stories everyone’s always complaining about. Scorpio is back; and he’s had a lot more to do this time around other than when he was just sitting in the back row of Robin and Patrick’s renewed vows. At least this time there’s a bit of the ol’ Scorpio peeking through. And I really enjoyed the standoff between Anna and Jason; and… Read more »
Hi Rebecca! I completely agree with everything you said. I am really enjoying anything with Anna & Robert Scorpio! Love them both so much.
I also love Wes Ramsey’s portrayal of Henrik. They do need to mix it up or like you said we would have recycled stories. 🙂
Cheers!
Hi abruzzfan! No joke; you crossed my mind recently. You haven’t posted here in ages! Just reading the comments? So glad you found this new page. It was s bit of a challenge. To use another “house analogy” Ifeel like it’s going to take some time getting used to our new digs. I think the other “place” had a private feel and now we’re in an open space. Sigh. Change is always an adjustment. 😉 I LOVE Peter! He’s been getting some negative feedback whereas I think he’s doing an incredible job. The way he carries himself, his smooth, mellow… Read more »
Hey Rebecca! Hello again!
This site is sure nice and modern, but it does indeed feel like we are in the “open space” now! I guess a little house cleaning never hurts? LOL
I do like Carly, but didn’t like that step-mommy was raising Avery as her own!
Take care!
hi Justin,
I like Peter..
His character is giving many others an upfront story, too..
Peters story includes;
Maxie, Valentine, Jason, Spin, Robert and Anna. Also others.
So- I’m good with Peter/Henrik, the character has brought many others into play and that is a good thing 🙂
Ok, su….enumerate what you like about Peter. I promise I will listen. LOL. I don’t know what you mean by an “upfront” story. ….Do you mean that the viewer is aware of what/who he is? And, what he is about? If that’s the case, wen know who he is, but not his intent. Good? Bad? In-between? I guess I am not being fair by not giving the character the benefit of the doubt……so, I will admit, subconsciously, it is the actor who does not jive with me. Am I allowed to say that? We like some and some others not… Read more »
New look was a shock. Thought I had gone to the wrong site. Tried to leave comments yesterday, but it wouldn’t take them so take 2. Yay! So happy for Days. I was wondering if people would check out Days after their Emmys’ wins. I think the Daytime Emmys does a disservice to the shows by not being on TV. If the awards show were on TV, more people would see the winners and potentially check out the shows. Get the award show back on TV. Glad to see Days doing well. The ratings should be up. The show has… Read more »
Hey, Mo! I think “Vivian” will be back eventually. We saw her being brought back to life. Should be interesting…
Yes, I saw that. Was it Rolf? LOL I also read an interview where Louise said she thinks Vivian is done. I hope not. I love Louise and Vivian.
Seems she was just throwing people off. Guess they do whatever they can to still surprise viewers. It was the doctors formula that brought Will back to life? That was before my time with the show. Been watching about a little over a year. But, the doctor whose diary he’s reading, trying to find out what mystery drug was used. Seems like someone used it on Vivian. Did you see that scene? She was lying in a hospital bed, dead, and at the end you saw a hand inject her with something. So, lol, at this point no one has… Read more »
I wasnt able to comment…hope this works now
I am truly glad to see the comment section up and running, like many this is my favorite part of the website– The new look was a bit jarring at first, but appreciate the need to change it up every now and then and to stay current with technology– and as I get older I do appreciate the fact the new format is easier to read- don’t have to dig out my glasses (LOL) As for the topic at hand–this is good news for Days, but I worry this might be the excuse ABC will use to cancel its last… Read more »
GH doesnt really have much going on right now…they need a new producer and writers…and im so glad to see your name again…
Jimh; was that you I responded to before or is there a “Jim” and a Jimh?
Well done and well deserved Days! I love watching Days. So glad Theresa and Xander are back. I hope they hook up. Xander needs to be on contract, he makes a great and redeemable villain, unlike Stefan!
I wonder what Will found in Rolfe’s journal that surprised him. Makes me wonder if Serena and Paige were brought back to life and that’s mentioned in the journal, since Ben Weston is coming back.
Love Xander. Glad he’s back.
If Serena is alive, she can stay off screen. Her and her elephant story were big clunkers.
Yes, blake…this sounds like deja-vu. Did we discuss this? LOL. Yes, we did….as I said….Xander should hook up with Theresa….and Paige will reunite with JJ…..fingers crossed she was never entombed and is somewhere safe and sound.
Imagine Eve’ joy!….will her trespasses against her own daughter be forgiven, if not forgotten?
The move to 3rd is only temporary. GH will return!
what with Y&R, B&B… even these shows are separated by upwards of a million votes. add on another million difference less than… that leaves @DAYS, and GH.. with only a difference of 13,000 fans. yet still a million “back” from B&B. so it’s going to be a toss up between the better shows. WHICH as I’ve posted … SHOULD be a feast for GH and DAYS writing teams to just go for it, yeah? I don’t know if in this day and age… GH or DAYS could topple either or CBS shows. @DAYS from this time last year… improved roughly… Read more »
I don’t like that after I leave a comment, instead of returning me to the comment page, it takes me back to the original page and I have to check on comments again.
I also have replies here but so far it doesnt seem that you get notified via email. So I have to look for the thread, open up comments to see if any reply comments are here.
I have to get used to this new format. I posted a reply to another poster’s comment, but didn’t see the usual “my reply is waiting moderation” or some such.
No worries, Lou…..I went through the same thing….but, all is running smoothly in this corner of the US. LOL…
I think you’ll be OK…..
Good I am glad for Days but they made a big mistake in letting Louise Sorel go
Neither ; here nor their ; “The Chew” has been CANCELLED. riotous applause ?
Michael Fairman: Hi! Congrats on your new site; it’s very comprehensive and must have been quite the feat getting it all together. But, I’d like to point out a few glitches that I’m experiencing; not sure if everyone is: In the past, when I got an email from your site it alerted me that I had a reply. When I clicked on the link it took me to that reply. Now, it just tells me my comment has been approved. Are you going to be sending an email when we get replies to the comment and will it be directing… Read more »
Hi Rebecca. Thanks for the info. You should be getting emails now when other users reply to your comments. The emails will direct you back to the post page where you can click the comment button to see the reply. As of now, we have made the decision to keep the comments contained within that comment button for mobile users. We now have additional articles below every post and if the comment field was always expanded, a mobile user would have issues getting to the next article on posts with a lot of comments. I’m trying to modernize the site… Read more »
Thanks for getting back, Michael, but Im just as confused as before! I get the first part; we’ll be getting emails to let us know we have a reply. Just like the “good old days…” 🙂 But if I understand u correctly we have to click on the comments and then look for the reply? Is it me, did I not understand u correctly?
No worries. I’ll figure it out when u start sending reply emails. (Didn’t get one re:your reply either. Just came back to the page to check out others comments and stumbled upon it.)
Thanks again.
Thanks, Rebecca – I had the same question!
All the media outlets that cover soaps were crowing how DOOL beat out GH for third place for the period covering the first week of May. You would have thought world peace had been agreed upon by world leaders. However,while I’m happy DOOL is doing well, they slipped back into fourth place for the week ending May 11. There are only four soaps left, so someone has to be in first, second, third and fourth. I frankly hope all of the shows are doing well enough to be seen as valuable to their networks so we can enjoy our shows… Read more »
