Robert and Anna were on doing their thing too. I’ve been really loving them
ITA, they are really the main reason I’m still watching. They have such great chemistry!
Anna and Robert for the win! Now, can we please get a contract for Tristan Rogers? I’d want him teamed with Anna of course, as they are the gold standard, but some story with Laura would be wonderful!!!!
Yep–it is Robert and Anna all the way.
I have no use for any of those other loser couples.
Wish Brandon could have stuck around!!
True, dat!
Damn, Ces.
He is so damn brilliant.
He reminds me of a a more handsome and more modern version of Jimmy Cagney in White Heat.
My one lament is that his crackling talent was wasted on this lame storyline involving the whole Lulu/Dante/Valerie silliness which was so beneath him.
I also wish they would have allowed him to go on to play Chopin on the piano.
Why does Johnny have to go while lesser talents such as Julian, Morgan, Carlos, Sonny and Franco get to stay?
Brandon Barash is so amazing. He literally lights up the screen, without saying anything. And yes, Harry, he makes the actors you mentioned seem like sleep-walking amateurs. Barash is a true leading man and it is shameful he is not on GH in that capacity. When you think about it, Barash and Tristan Rogers have more chemistry between them than the rest of GH’s male cast members combined. And neither are on contract. Go figure!
Johnny ‘Cagney’ needs to stay…”Look at me ma…im top of the world!!!”…lol
I agree! Love Brandon Barash! I understand having Morgan on as he is Sonny’s son and now is bi-polar. However, I have no interest in Carlos or Franco. They are great actors, but dislike the characters and feel they have little place in Port Charles.
“… Y&R is the only show ahead of DAYS in terms of audience growth in numbers from a year ago ”
I’ll take this….
it’s my understanding that NBC and Sony start negotiations the first of February
puhlease
Good to see ALL the soaps going up, that is a good thing..
I had no doubt that fan favorites;
Robert (Tristan Rogers)
Anna (Finola Hughes)
the exit of Johnny (Brandon Barash)
and even Carlos Rivera (Jeffrey Vincent Parise) would bring them in.. 🙂
GH is the lowest in bring in new viewers since last year..
(Compared to Last Week/Compared to Last Year)
GH 3,131,000 (last week +116,000/ last year +226,000)
(((DAYS 2,872,000 (+81,000/+473,000) <– WOW!))
su0000: we totally agree. Yes, Robert, Anna, Johnny and that scoundrel Carlos draw viewers!
Rafe and Hope did not kiss.
To all you women between the ages of 18-49, thank you for making DAYS the only soap to gain from the same week last year in your demo!
Location shoot airing soon: Brady and the mystery woman at the beach!
Days is doing a location shoot? Awesome! And there’s a mystery woman???
Also, am I dreaming or did I see them do a location shoot at a high school last week? Days was on in the cafeteria at work and I thought I saw that.
Yes, blake, DAYS has had several indoor location shoots in the last couple months:
The warehouse where Hope met the evil Dr. and where Stefano was disposed of.
The high school.
The runway and party for the fashion show.
The auditorium for the photo shoots.
Now, Brady has already had a dream of a beach at the end of Wednesday’s episode which will lead him on a trip to Malibu where he will meet the mystery woman who’s haunting his dreams…
Some of his stories could use some work IMO but kudos to Chuck Pratt. I’ve been enjoying Y&R recently more than any other time since he began writing for the soap.
I agree. I never thought I would say it but Pratt’s Y&R is the most entertaining soap on now.
Y&R was always my #2 soap
GH was my forever #1 soap..
However now; I FF through most of GH and none of Y&R, making Y&R my #1 soap, now..
Days of OUR Lives : Wednesday ep’
Eric is released from the hospital
mom Marlena and dad Roman are “holding” on Eric
he is IMMEDIATELY read his rights….
heart tugging pull at all the heart
poignant moment
argh! ruined by Nicole… (ala a Carly moment) butts in and has to have her moment
all good and well… production! this is cry at the moment stuff !
Eric
Young and the restless is the best soap ever and deserves being #1!!!
I’ve enjoyed seeing Robert back in action–and with Anna to boot–but I’m borderline shocked that the character I’m most interested in right now is KIKI!!! The actress has really made that character her own, and as much as I adore Kristen Alderson, her Kiki did nothing for me but wince at her name. Hope some good stuff is coming up with this Jerome.
isn’t she, tho? the one word I come up with, with regard to Kiki Enthralled : 1.capture the fascinated attention of: synonyms: captivate · charm · enchant · bewitch · fascinate · [more] archaic enslave. I just couldn’t be happier for Hayley Erin and… Maura West with the cutest of the cutest; Avery what a family hopefully the tug of war won’t last too long between mother and daughter… not that Kiki doesn’t have good reason… but you can see the natural ease in which this mother daughter act… I imagine if they teamed up together… all that they could… Read more »
Proof there is viewers for soaps…enough said.
hi Jimh 🙂
nothing like breastfeeding story to bring ’em in …… lol
Yep. So much for “soaps are a dying breed” BS
I agree that Robert and Anna play a part in this ratings increase, but Jason and Sam do too. I am really enjoying GH these days. Loving the new writers despite what others are saying.
I totally agree with you, Phil. I think Jean & Shelly have done a good job since taking over, and the viewership numbers back that up. It took a while to build the show back up from the horrendous 2.4 to 2.5 million viewers that they were doing when Ron Carlivati got fired. They’re up approx 600,000-700,000 viewers since then, which is wonderful news. If you’re a fan of GH, there’s no way you can’t be happy about that. As long as they can keep those numbers at a respectable level, we should continue to have our GH for many… Read more »
it’s good to see all the soaps up from last year. they probably got a holiday boost with the holiday. i’ve actually been enjoying Y&R the most right now
Perhaps that blizzard that hit most of States last week had something to do with the bump in numbers– I mean if you can’t go anyway because of three feet of snow, staying home and catching up on your soaps seems a good way to ride out a storm. I would think that storm, and the holiday that Monday, had more to do with the numbers being up than the actual stories.
Not really because it didn’t hit until Friday.
After following soaps and the ratings game for years the basic fact is ratings go up when there are more eyeballs watching the screen and in most cases for soaps the reasons the number of eyeballs increased are two fold. If the stories are hot, as in the case in sweeps or if there is an outside cause leading people who normally not at home to be home, like during holidays. Since there was no stories on any the soaps that week that warrant an increase, it is logical to assume the holiday on Monday and the blizzard on Friday… Read more »
You are so right, Mary SF, and claiming the ratings “miraculously” went up without any acts of God is laughable. I really wish they would stop this kind of boasting. It is just like when a new show is hyped up and premiered and then it is suddenly “the number one show on television” and then the next week is tanks. Yippee!
It is so beyond time to stop with the “live + same day” way to count the ratings. I, for one, have become busy during the day and now as a stay-at-home parent I do not regularly watch my shows until later that night or on the weekends.
It is time that DVR viewing/recording get in on the action as the live + same day is not the whole picture of a show’s success or failure.
I read somewhere… that… if you watch what you DVR within 3 days… it counts
so.. this is what I hope… and try my best to contribute to these ratings
so ; I don’t have to binge them all.. just keep up within 3 days of recording
here yah go, Patrick; There are three types of viewing Nielsen regularly measures and reports. Live viewing, live plus same day DVR viewing (these are the most commonly reported numbers) and live viewing plus seven days of DVR viewing. Almost all of our overnight and weekly data uses the live plus same day measurement. But we do also report some live plus seven data. But the advertising is bought and sold based on Nielsen data we almost never see, commonly referred to as C3 or C+3 which stands for live viewing of commercials plus three days worth of commercial viewing… Read more »
YES!
This is the fourth week in a row that GH is over three million viewers! Bravo to the writers, producers, and actors!
I can’t even remember the last time that happened to be honest but don’t recall it happening in this current decade. I beleive the highest it went was two or three weeks in a row of being over three million viewers during RC’s ratings surge in late 2013 to early 2015.
GH is up and Frank Valenti has HUGE news! I Two pieces of good news for us GHers! Robert and Anna together is enough to boost numbers. Seeing those two bust into C&S room the other day was great! R&A just ooze chemistry! HOWEVER, by the end of the week, Friday [1-29-2016], it was horrible! I FF through 3/4 of the show. Mayor Lomax recast and current story is horrible. Lulu looked like a fool trying to seduce DOGnte! Billy Miller seems like he is REALLY under Helena’s spell. He is acting like a mummy! BM has the chops to… Read more »
Interesting observation…when looking at total numbers of viewers for The Chew and The View the soaps hold their own or are better. Unless I’m missing something. Again makes you wonder why the OLTL and AMC cancellations except maybe costs to produce.
have to wait and see if Gh revival is for real. love TR and hope he stays..too bad for Y&R if he does. but as a vet lover not too linterested in most of Gh..frankly don’t even know who these people are and don’t care much for Alexis, sonny and crew. Big new from FV..if it aint’ frisco …or lucky or TR for permanent…dont’ care. and wont’ make me a regular again. BTW wtf with laura…no romance or even a n inkiling yet. not interested in Scotty redo although llike KS… When Gh bought in the recent newbees they should… Read more »
