ON Y&R Daisey is the worst character and actress on TV. I literally FF through her scenes and there is no one able to write well enough to turn the character around as long as the current actress plays this role. HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!

This is good news ,we need to get those ratings up even higher and general hospital has to be the number one soap,I do believe a lot of one life to live fans are tuning in so the cross overs are helping to bring in more viewers.That’s a good thing ,I also feel that the mob stories are being put on the back burner ,heck I’m starting to like Sonny again and its been a while since I’ve said that,At the moment I am pissed off at jason ,the way he is treating Sam ,she lied to protect him and not have to face the fact that she was raped by a monster, jasons cold,I heard he will be changing maybe this is the beginning of the new jason ,wow ,If it is he is one cold bastard, Also I am liking the kate/connie story ,I like everything going on in port charles,Good news for general hospital and the fans.

I don’t watch Y&R but lately these last two weeks I have not been feeling General Hospital ,Im turned off by the Kate/Connie storyline,The Murder trial bored the heck out of me last week.

Im still loving Days more and more each day.I don’t watch B*B either.

Y&R has too many characters that I just don’t care about. Cane & Lily are so boring, no one wants to see Devon, Roxanne, Tucker, Ashley, Neil, and Harmony slow dancing in Devon’s studio. Give me more Adam, Chelsea, Nikki, Jack, Phyllis, Nick, Jill, Katherine, and Sharon. And let Tricia Dennison out of jail or wherever she is, we need some good crazy to stir things up in Genoa City, not mopey Daisy.

“Revitalization” of GH? As in, non-stop Sonny/Carly/Jason/Kate for over a week and a half? Just as it has been for the past 20 years? As in, a possible rape victim being expected to apologize to her husband for how it affects HIM? As in, a man having sex with a mentally ill woman being used as a plot device for “entertainment”? As in, reducing talented actors such as Jane Elliot and Nancy Lee Grahn to 2-bit day players?
Sucking up to this new regime that doesn’t deserve it is ridiculous. The show is bad, and the ratings bear that out.

What is wrong with DOOL? How much time do you have? LOL I started watching DOOL 40 years ago and have been as faithful as possible throughout the years. The glory days are definitely distant memories. I really think, bottom line, the problem is NBC and Ken Corday. He just doesn’t have that magic touch that his parents had and refuses to relinquish control to those more talented. Also, NBC interferes way to much with the storylines. The best thing going now is Will’s story, and word is, they are dropping it. That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.

It is concerning that Days ratings are considerably down from last year. Actually, I do think it is better than last year, and recently it has improved from a few weeks ago with some of the storylines, scenes, and character interactions. I am sorry that they dropped some story lines, there are long gaps between story lines, etc. but this last week it seemed to be better. That concern is that with the low ratings and the decrease from last year the network will get tired of this, and pull the plug even if Days keeps trying to improve. Anyway, hope they can write some decent story lines, be consistent
( not dropped storylines or being all over the place with so many different story lines) and have good character development, dialogue, and interaction. I hope Days can make it to its 50th anniversary, but with the ratings low, this could be a challenge.

I am a GH fan, but I am happy to see all of the soaps ratings getting better, or hanging in there. As I have said on this site many times before, whatever your favorite soaps are, please tune in and support them. As for the news on GH’s ratings, I am happy that they have gone up. I am enjoying the storylines, and I also think that people are willing to invest in GH once again, now that it has been renewed for at least a year.

I’m just waiting for the shiz to hit the fan when the old Phyllis story line rears its head in the next few weeks!! Good times abound for our favorite Genoa City denizens as we approach May Sweeps! Hang tight, people! Can’t wait for the fall out!!! 🙂

What is not working on Days? News that still hurts is the firing of Matt Ashford, Christie Clark, Patrick Muldoon, and Sarah Brown, while bringing on a never-known sibling for a character that’s dying! Also, the un-balanced airing of certain characters, we see EJ every day, but haven’t seen Marlena and John more then one or twice a week, and where’s Jack and Jen? And a longterm character like Kayla is lately relegated to not much more than being a waitress. Do we care enough about Gabi that we are invested in her obsession with Chad? “YAWN”.

I don’t watch B&B or DOOL.
Some things on Y&R irk me to no end – SORAS ,I hate NuKyle .
Tired of the whole Niki/Victor rehash,the Daisy storyline..I don’t like Ricky he’s such a jerk, not crazy about putting Harmony with Neil (even tho there’s no chemistry with Sofia).
I would like to see Adam and Chelsea together…I really like them as a couple.
Pair Sharon with someone other than a Newman.
I would love to have Ronan come back too.

GH – Bring on Todd (Holy crap where is he ? give us an air date).
Wrap this Kate/Connie storyline (I hope Ewan isn’t dead)
Get rid of Anthony, so tired of hearing him call Tracey Venus LOL!
I’m interested to see where they’re going with John and Sam.
Wrap up the who killed Lisa Nile.
I like the idea of exploring Patrick dealing with being a widower and single dad (don’t rush to pair him with anyone).
Give Anna a romance (she’s going to be around for a while).
I could go on ….but

Whats working/ Whats Not (Only My Opinion!!):

DAYS: Working- Will’s storyline and his protrayer; Chandler Massey (Do not drop this!!). Lexie’s brain tumor (this is powerful stuff that affects so many characters. so sorry to lose Renee Jones). EJ and Sami together. Carrie being tormented (she’s been perfect way too long), having the hots for Rafe. Adrienne Zuker’s needy, sad, lonely, perpetually kicked- to- the- face Nicole. She does it so well. (Kudos to Days for portraying morning sickness realistically; we all throw up the first few months, not just faint).

What’s Not: The whole Bo/Hope/Marlena/John & Stefano mess. It’s confusing. I get it that Stef is obsessed with Marlena. There are other ways of telling the story. I don’t like the in and out characters such as Kayla, Adrienne, and Roman. Where was the Brady family when Bo was coming out of his coma? Also, Roman was very obviously very uncomfortable with Will and Sonny’s PDA. Isn’t it interesting that Roman may NOT support his grandson’s coming out? The Melanie/Gabi/Chad triangle isn’t working for me.

I have started watching Days regularly now that I don’t have All My Children and One Life to Live. I still watch Y&R some but its been rather dull lately that I found myself switching to Lifetime to watch a movie instead. General Hospital is the best its been in years. Yes the Llanview have helped but the regular cast Carly, Sonny, Kate and Johnny are must see. Keep up the good work GH

What’s not working on “Y & R”? Three words – Maria Arena Bell!!

How do you solve a problem like Maria??? GET RID OF HER AND HER CO-HACKS HOGAN SHEFFER & SCOTT “My Name is NOT Earl” HAMNER!

The show is over-bloated with new characters that nobody gives a damn about – they were created to push the plot-driven offal MAB has been shoveling at us for over 3 years! Get rid of Genevieve, Tucker, Sofia, Daisy, Avery, Ricky, Chelsea and all the other go-nowhere characters this current regime has created. Why? BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT WORKING!!

Stop telling stupid plot-driven tales – I am so tired of seeing established characters acting stupid and doing moronic things (ie – Jill Abbott in a Geisha costume sans make-up; Jack Abbott falling for and wanting to marry any woman who looks at him). MAB has blundered terribly in terms of writing material for 30+ year characters – she is DEFINITELY not a Bell!!

I only watched one episode of “Y & R” this week and it was Friday’s show – WHAT A TRAIN WRECK!! The SORAS’ing of Kyle is a HUGE MISTAKE, as will the SORAS’ing of Summer Newman and Fenmore Baldwin – MAB must think the loyal viewers are idiots!! Personally, I think she is out to destroy her father-in-law’s legacy and we are all helpless in stopping her!!

I know more veiwers are going to turn the station or hit the FF button when the idiots at Y&R pair Victor with Sharon romantically. It is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!! I am not going to jusdge age facter but I will judge the fact htat he has been a father figure to her and she is like a daughter. I honeslty have to agree with other posts I read that someone on te team has it out for Sharon Case. The character will never live this down and it total assassination of a character that has been on for years. I will not watch anything to do with that storyline at all and I hear it will go on for sometime “literally just puked in my mouth” I may even tune out all together if this is the direction they want to go with the Soap.

I’m glad to see the slight improvement of General Hospital, especially since its ratings were no better than the other soaps of ‘All my Children, Days of Our Lives and One life to Live.’ Why A.B.C. kept that soap….(remember when GH was the only soap on A.B.C. T.V., well it’s reverted back to that time again.)…. and cancelled the other two is beyond my understanding, when it should have been the other way around. Keep AMC and OLTL, cancel GH, but that’s only my opinion. Since GH is saved for now and have brought on board some of the characters from OLTL, its has made me miss that soap even more. I like seeing Starr Manning and John McBain but I long to see the rest of the cast from Llanview P.A. I only hope that ABC will find some way to bring back OLTL and AMC maybe on Prime Time or even as a half hour show. That would be something, which is much better than nothing, which is what loyal fans of the two iconic soaps have now.

I hate to say this. If I see Victor and Sharon rolling in the sack, I’m changing the channel. What is WRONG with those writers? He is (or should be) a father figure for her. He is her children’s grandfather for God’s sake!

I”ll be tuning back into GH when Todd arrives. However, if Blair doesn’t show up soon after then I’ll be tuning out again. In March, Todd vowed to never stop trying to ‘put them back together’. That’s what I want to see – Todd reclaiming his One True Babe. If that doesn’t happen, I’m sure I won’t be the only TnB fan who feels cheated, and I won’t be the only one NOT watching GH.

Way to go GH and B&B! The Young and the Restless and Bold and Beautiful may not be my cup of tea; but, I watch to support the CBS soap fans. Besides, they are daytime soaps, and any soap is better then…”NO SOAP!”

LOVING Anna, Heather Webber, Luke, Tracey, Carly, Johnny and Kate/Connie. Seeing Kate reading the book “Yes She D.I.D.” with Viki/Niki & jess/Tess on the cover was genius! LOVE

I went back to Days after many years to see how they would handle the Will story. The writing in that area is excellent, but there are too many boring characters and stupid plots. Characters such as Kate are ruined (did she really think she could hide anything from Steffeno?). Cut the stupid stories and boring characters. Use Kate, Marlena, Hope, John and Bo in real stories that have a bit of depth and make the characters look intelligent.

Just reading the synopsis of Y&R in SOD makes me yawn. Again, too many newer characters who are a snooze and the ruin of other characters such as Victor, Nikki and Lauren for plot purposes.

I am surprised B&B inched up. The show is becoming a one note plot. Again, why are beautiful women such as Steffy and Hope killing themselves over Liam? What has he done to acquire a second look (OK, he’s eye candy), much less this much devotion from two women whom any straight man in their right mind would want. I know this is a half hour soap, but remember, this is LA. There are plenty of single guys without having to pick up your step-siblings used men!

GH rising only shows what OLTL could have been if Frons and the network did not cancel it. Hopefully, this will stop the bitching of the GH fans that there are ‘too many’ OLTL characters. Had ATWT fans not squaked and allowed AW characters such as Cass to take root, we may have had a different show. Remember, GL did this with some of the actors from Texas (nothing against Kim Zimmer, but Reva was basically Renna, especially if Carla Borelli had not turned the role down) and the rating went up about a point and a half.

Sure fire way to kill GH. Bring on the characters from a dead soap that some fans never watched because they never liked that soap or characters in the first place. Fast-forwarded through the beginning scenes with the OLTL characters, watched happily when they seemed to disappear, and now ff again as the OLTL characters are back with a vengeance. I’d like to watch GH to keep it alive but it is appearing that the writers are set on killing off the GH storyline already. Really, I only watch bits and pieces right now with the emphasis being given to the OLTL storyline. Sorry. It’s inevitable. GH is dying.
