RATINGS: It’s All About The Bold and the Beautiful!
34
The writing of this story has been stupendous…add the superb acting chops of Jacob Yound and Kara Moseley and you have a recipe for excellence.
The Bold & The Beautiful is the ONLY soap that is being solidly written these days. It’s actually believable and I look forward to watching it. I’ve turn Y&R off until CBS & Sony come to their senses and dump the horror duo of Phleps & Pratt. They have made that show unwatchable. DAYS is on such a downward spiral, that it is doubtful that it will ever recover. As far as GH goes, it’s a convoluted mess. It has a better shot at re-gaining its footing, but it better get on track fast. The daytime soap genre is faltering,… Read more »
please tune in to DAYS , August, 2015… when the new writing team for DAYS premieres
it’s the 50th anniversary
shows shift change and deserve that chance to premiere their work
hi Patrick..
I am going to tune in and check it out 🙂
DO tune in..too much online that the 50th into 2016 is the last year if numbers remain so low. Don’t be moaning and crying if you suddenly find DAYS off the NBC schedule as of next September. It doesn’t even need to happen at all if people just tune in..DVR..get others to do it and push the ratings up whether it’s your favorite or not. How many favorites can you have out of 4..ALL..how would the landscape look with just 3..BLEAK…WATCH WATCH WATCH!!!!
strong week for B&B. they are the best soap right now
Kudos to B&B!
But this is what I find ridiculous about the show: it’s a half-hour show, and yet they continue wasting precious moments of airtime with exterior (some new) shots of Los Angeles. It seems they are adding increasingly more time to these exterior shots. We get it! The action takes place in Los Angeles. It just seems like unnecessary padding to me…
I agree totally, but it helps to know when to stop when FF through the commercials
Hi Lynda: Well, that’s one benefit…
I HAVE OFTEN THOUGHT THE SAME…WE GET IT!!!!!
Hi Judy: Great minds think alike…
This story, at it’s heart, is a love story– whether these two people can overcome their issues and stay together– yes, the issues are a bit different than most couples go through, but that doesn’t change the heart of the story. There are two ways to approach soaps, the campy plot driven way, or the character driven way, where the characters are the star, not the action. B&B right now is the only soap left that hasn’t dipped its hand into the campy style. The transgender story could have been told in a campy way, but they wrote it beautifully… Read more »
I believe Y&R +400,000 viewers same week over last year.
Yes. Up almost a half million viewers over a year ago.
I don’t like Pratt but am surprised that it wasn’t mentioned.
It has been amazing. Jacob and Karla have kept me running to the television every afternoon for the next episode. Rays is clearly the new IT couple.
nice response
i’m excited for Jacob Young… I LOVED his work on AMC
I am thrilled that Karla work is being acknowledged… what a tough storyline
posts have already lauded her for an emmy nomination and “deserved” win
dang! I loved and hated Jacob Young’ work on AMC as JR…. so this intrigues me… as he never accepted his romance with Marissa.. was over… she left him.. and started a romance with Bianca… YES …. : loved this
so the angst and turmoil… for Rick Forrester is frontburner
I’m excited for both actors, and would like to see both win an Emmy next year. Great love story for them.
B&B was up in total viewers in the key women demos 18-49 and 18-34.
We have had the similar ‘ups’ for Y&R and GH and even Days..
It all depends what the doggie in the window is to get them to come and look..
Seems a transgender was the winning ticket/the doggie .. lol
I once tried tried to watch B&B and its people especially the women were too phony/plastic.. lol..
Happy for the B&B fans..
i agree with… whatever it takes to “lure” in viewers
at the end of the day
my days… continues the tradition of relationships… family… love…
familial ties bonds and tribulations
being a Salem’ite
Salute
Patrick !
you do so love your soap!
I like seeing that 🙂
hope it has a loooong run !
Proof that great writing and storytelling will bring on the ratings. B&B has been killing it this year especially with the Maya and Rick storyline. Well done B&B!
surprise, surprise…. young and the restless lost viewers!? nooo…….. you mean fake jack having heart to hearts with genoas finest when the viewers know he s a fake isnt touching? real jack realizing cuckoo kelly who was once torn and full of grief but suddenly over the top looney and dead isnt exciting? nikki off the wagon after she desperatly forces neil to an aaa meeting and consquently kils christines baby but doesnt learn her lesson again, isnt must see tv? sharon pathetic again for another of nicks relative not romantic enough? victor not evil enough with no ounce of… Read more »
oh shucks
3 points
#1. “… sharon pathetic again “… this has to be the all time biggest fan outcry
#2. “… viewers are already over pratts fill the plot holes ” he fills them with dung
#3. “… he s a fake isnt touching ” Peter Bergman… has been reduced… wow that’s spiral
I will forever lament, stronghold, and soapbox… “I cant’ stand what has happened to #1”
There are just too many twists and turns over at Y&R now. It becomes difficult to follow and after you start to not care about the characters who are already not acting like themselves. Well, this is where I am finding myself these days, and it gives me a headache to watch.
B&B is great right now, I just hope we’re not slipping into a Liam Steffy Ivy nightmare triangle.
Yeah, it’s happening. Lol
It’s a shame Days didn’t do better. Hopefully these great stories by these stupendous writers will deliver more eyeballs.
The only problem I have with this story is how Maya and Rick have been so God awful to everyone and now suddenly were supposed to root for them.
Who said you have to feel sorry for them? Examine why Rick has been awful to them. Did Caroline, Ridge and Ivy do anything to him? To Maya?
What’s to examine, they were horrible to everyone. I don’t feel sorry for them, I cant root for them because they are hideous human beings. Little Ricky is his mother’s son through and through.
Rob, I totally agree with you. Also, because Rick has been such an incredible jerk to everyone (as you say), I was fully expecting him to reject Maya once the truth was revealed. BTW, if someone shoots a gun in my presence and/or is condescending to me, I don’t root for him!
I haven’t always enjoyed Brad Bell’s writing, but I think he’s doing a good job with this story. The transgender reveal has happened and it’s now taking a small backseat to the corporate maneuvers with a lot of different pieces to the story: Bill publishing the news about Maya; Steffy’s return and how that impacts Liam, Ivy and Wyatt; Ridge and Eric’s past issues; Ridge and Rick’s past issues; what it means to be loyal and to be family; and Maya and Rick’s love story. I also have to give credit where it’s due to Thorsten Kaye for giving some… Read more »
While the storyline on Rick and Maya is attention getting, what happens when the gimmick gets old? This is merely a trend. It’s not necessarily revealing storytelling. I give kudos to B&B for being adventurous. I think the Bell production/writing team has strength but it hardly makes up for the lousy stories they told prior to this. They may have gained audiences but audiences are fickle. They tend to tune out when they get bored. DAYS is solid evidence of that. And all the bitching and moaning about Y&R is doing nothing. Ratings keep climbing and the Pratt/Phelps regime keeps… Read more »
I LOVE B &B!!! Wonderful acting. I’m 59 and have watched B &B and Y & R since the beginning!! But B &B is the best it’s ever been. All characters are
at their peak!! Now don’t let Ally kill Steffy. Get her some help! I miss Michael Muhney but the new Adam is doing his best.
