B&B has been really good.

Days is slowly getting better. I hope they are looking at the ratings and realize their stories aren’t working. I think they lost a lot of viewers with that whole stupid Yo Ling storyline.

Can someone please explain the difference in the demo age ranges? They appear to encompass the same age brackets to me. 18-49 and 18-34?? What makes these different? How can you split the same age group into two categories that apparently are so coveted? 25-54 is even more puzzling. And why isn’t there a demo for an age range above 54?
Older women have been dedicated loyal soap fans longer, some have more free daytime hours to watch live, and they have money to spend on the products advertisers are promoting.
Why don’t they have a voice in the demographics?
I’ve seen these ratings for years now and have never understood how they arrive at these groupings. I hope someone can explain it.

Days seems to show some improvement but it is still nowhere i thought it would be…GH has improved some..so will there be a miracle pregnancy-Nina pregnant by Dillion and then pass the child as Franco’s?

DAYS will continue in the tank if they continue to feature the no talent youthful cast. They are awful. Ciara has not grown in her role. All these other characters of college age have no value in the plot. The Joey and his new gf out of nowhere is just a rehash of Kayla and Patch and that is bad enough in it’s original form. Since the conclusion of the Ben/Chad/Abby story there is nothing to root for. No one to care about. The one actress who manages to keep attention is Suzanne Rogers as Maggie Horton Kiriakis. Her story is silly but I love that woman. So good with such trash as story. That is one actress they should feature regularly. All the other stories if they are to be called stories are so boring it’s more like Snoozes of our lives. GH has been on fire. So good in the acting department from every one and even the stories that are what I call far fetched are fun to watch. Y&R has a way of grabbing their viewers. The scenes with Abby and Ben losing the baby were so great. Max, the son is so evil you scream at the screen everytime you see him. Sage and Sharon on that path to discovering the truth is making everyone hold their breath. You just think of how it will affect everyone involved. Nikki’s breakdown is stunning. Victoria and Billy’s crash course of a marriage and divorce is above par. As for B&B, I have tried watching more steadily and the one problem with that show is that they try too hard. Some of the actors are interesting but the stories are either too trendy or heavy handed. I don’t like feeling manipulated in my emotions. I love a detailed story with sincere emotions. And those come in rare supplies. Quite frankly the show is held together by Heather Tom. That lady is just magic. Pierson Fode is a great new actor. Handsome but more than skin deep. As for the rest, well a big yawn. The ratings should place Y&R at #1 and GH at #2. All the rest is what it is…

Days is now a joke. The Hope/Rafe pairing has people pissed and tuning out. The Summer story is just lame. Chabby was ok but KM leaving. They better do something quick.

OK-
the ratings do not represent if the soap is actually liked.
IF, the rating showed how much of an episode was actually watched, then and only then would the ratings represent like or dislike.

I FF through much of GH and only watch certain scenes, about 13 mins of the episode.
I watch, I am a number in the ratings, but GH is no longer GH and at times I don’t know what in hell I’m watching, surely not GH..

So– ratings do not show if or if not a soap is good / just that people tuned in even if for just 5-10 minutes.

I loved Sonny and Anna teaming up to go find Carlos on GH. We haven’t seen Maurice and Finola work together much over the years, so that was a real treat. I want more of that. As much as I want to see Carlos pay for what he did to Duke, I do have to say, Jeffrey Vincent Parise does such a great job in the role. Richard Burgi as Paul was also tremendous this past week. I like the mob and crime stuff heating up. Julian back involved in the business is a lot more interesting than him and Alexis taking a bubble bath, lol.

And then you had the Quartermaines on the front burner with the Tracy story, which Jane Elliot knocked out of the park. I hope she’s recognized come Emmy time next year. It was also nice to see Monica used more than she’s been in quite a long time, as well as the all too brief cameo by Wally Kurth. The stuff with Laura and Kevin was very random, but I like the possibilities if they follow through with it. Genie Francis long overdue for her own her story, needless to say.

You have the mystery going on with Hamilton Finn and what and why he’s shooting up, all the drama, back stabbing and blackmailing with Nikolas and Hayden/Rachel (yes, the daughter of Raymond Berlin, lol) which I think has been very good.

I think GH has been really enjoyable over the past few weeks.

days is beyond burnt toast!
how much longer before they nab ron carlivati from gh to headwrite?
wats the holdup?
why make the audience suffer any longer?… this new writing regime was good for about two months… they ve reached their height… its all downhill now

I thought, I saw Kelly Monaco/Sam right beside Billy Miller/Jason getting those stocks and take them the Q’S and give them back.. don’t see not mention

Pratt’s using a 10 year-old kid as a psychotic murder is disgusting. How low can Y&R go?

I am really liking GH in a lot of ways lately. It’s not water-cooler-talk on a lot of days, but there are a lot of beats that the writers are capturing. )They still have plenty that slip through the cracks, though.) I especially like that I’m seeing a lot of the superb cast on a weekly basis, even if it may just be for snippets; a lot of them are not being ignored for weeks on end. This is making PC seem like more of a community to me.

I have no idea what fans see in Carlos and Julian, I know fans love their good guys or bad guys with a heart of gold ect. But I’ve never seen fans root for weasels and Carlos and Julian are just that they are weasels, two guys who hide behind their not so bright ladies, sorry Alexis, I lost respect for you once you were ok with Julian putting out a hit on Duke .. Those two need to pay for their crime already . Please no Paul with Anna either Paul is the latest weasel to hit town , and our Anna wouldn’t fall for that.

I have to say that Kate M (Abby) knocked it out of the park this last week…..she has truly grown as an actress…will miss her a lot…..see no chemistry at all between Hope and Rafe; however, I did notice some sexual tension between Hope and Deimos…..which was oddly surprising……not sure how the new head writer Ryan will be able to bring Days back to it’s glory Days…pun intended…..I did notice on a previous feed someone mentioned bringing Ron Carlivati to the show as head writer…can’t say that that would hurt the show…at least he could draw on the history of the Salem characters…..maybe get some comedy back to the show….why not give it a shot….and please update the sets and stop with the six months taping ahead….there needs to be a way to fix stories that aren’t working sooner so as not to lose anymore viewers….and please get Dena Higley away from the show….she’s as bad as Jill Farren Phelps when it comes to ruining a show and characters on a show…..thanks for reading my rant and have a great week….

I want to know where the family scenes are at on GH. Where’s the freindships at too. I want to see more of Valerie. I hope Anna will stop crying too.

B&B and DOOL used to be my favorite soaps, but now they suck so bad. The Summer storyline is awful. Chabby is great but KM is leaving soon. There’s no chemistry with Hope & Rafe. Just too many forced storylines and people are tuning out. I haven’t watched since November! The way things look, I won’t watch for another few months. As far as B&B goes, I’ve boycotted the soap since August. Such bad writing. So sick and tired of Liam and Steffy all the time. Get rid of them! And now I hear that Quinn might be pregnant with Liam’s child. Nasty!!! Will not be watching.

If Days can come out of the darkness they have had on the show now for quite awhile, perhaps, ratings will improve. I saw a few minutes of the show today, and hope they are trying to move in that direction with the Hope/Rafe romance, etc.
