Days Of Our Lives
RATINGS: Y&R, B&B, GH & DAYS All Up In Total Viewers!

61
Ratings will always go up and down but as long as they dont stay down and keep going down there shouldnt be much to worry unless we get a frons type in charge of things…
Yes, jimh, you’re right. I’ve never cared much about ratings, that is until they use them to cancel shows I like (AS THE WORLD TURNS, NASHVILLE, MURDER ONE, RED BAND SOCIETY). Hopefully our treasured shows will carry on for many years to come!
i miss ATWTs…
Days already had one…Ted “and I am tellin’ you I’m not goin” Corday
I really think he could care less if the show was cancelled…someone else needs to takeover…if the show doesnt improve and looses ratings causing cancelation i will not watch anything connected to him.
Yes, Jimmy……I can see Sam with Morticia’s ensemble…..Especially with her hair down.
Seems the ”Nielsen Families” tuned into the soaps and were counted last week..
It would be kewl if when we watch we were counted, but we are not ..
I wonder how many viewers there ”actually” are, we are just an estimate of the Nielsen people/watchers…LOL
heh if I watch or not it makes no difference because I am not counted, I’m just an estimate 🙁
Y&R is really good! it has actual stories/plots ((GH does not it just has boring junk ahaa))
Long live our soaps!!!
Y&R is getting good now, next week Jack finds out that Phyllis and Billy boy are sleeping together. GH is really boring right now, but it will get better in time. Days better get their ratings up, or kiss goodbye too Days next year. Alison Sweeney needs to come back to Days, I miss her so much.
Yes…and it should not be such a big surprise for Jack! He’s already been through this ” my wife cheated on me with my brother” thing.
Jack lost his pants….doesn’t look too good with his wife’s skirt on. And, Billy needs to be run through.
I’m with you, Mark. I wish Alison would come back with Will and EJ.
As I said on another thread, the trio is together, somewhere in Switzerland. Well, it could happen that way.
Celia you might be right, you should be a writer for Days. The show needs a good writer right now. I hope Days gets better, and stays on the air. Lol to funny Jack sure lost his pants all right. He is a wimp and better get his act together. Alison Sweeney is a wonderful actress, I hope she comes back to Days, I know it was her decision to leave but she is missed.
Celia, my dear…as far as I’m concerned, those Y&R PINHEADS have WATERED DOWN both Jack and Billy…and to the point of DROWNING THEM BOTH!!!!! BEYOND BLAH!!!!!
Later, my friend.
@jaybird.
Hey, Jay,
You know, I am so used to Jack blowing in the wind, as it were, that I can pretty much tolerate him…..regardless his stupidity….as I said he lost his pants ( could say he lost something else….but, ….LOL).
Billy? From day one, Jason T did not jive with me. Later.
Things are starting to get interesting now. What I don’t understand is how a man as smart as Jack hasn’t seen the writing on the wall before now. He has walked in Billy’s house a couple of time at least, and they were the only two there. One time Phyllis was nly wearing Billy’s shirt. If that wasn’t a clue, I don’t know what he is waiting for. I really hoping the Sully situation comes out soon. That will really affect alot of people. Especially if it comes to light that Adam and not Nick is the father, which Chelsea… Read more »
Agreed, Mark. DOOL is in BIG need of damage control. I will probably be ‘kicked in the arse’ by Hope fans, but, am I the only one who feels Hope and Rafe do not stir any emotion as lovers? Rafe has lost his ‘cool’ factor….reminds me of Jack Abbott. What’s up with these guys? Or, should I say LITTLE WOMEN?? I could never be with a guy who fawned all over me the way these guys do. Respect is a must; showing affection is a plus, but, this is ridiculous. I loved him with Sami. I actually looked forward to… Read more »
The writing on Y&R has indeed gotten a lot better. Celia, I could not agree with you more about Jack. If I have to watch him grovel one more time at Phyllis’s feet apologizing for having the audacity to breath while in her presence, I am going to kick my air filter. And what gives with Billy? Billy has always been a deeply flawed character with a big heart. He suddenly seems so cold. He doesn’t seem to care that he is betraying his brother and he doesn’t seem to give a damn about his mother. The only person he… Read more »
Lol Celia venting is good for the soul. Good to let it out. Agree Rafe and Hope bore me to death. Love Rafe, but he belongs with Kate Roberts. They had terrific chemistry. I hope the new Abby can act, she debuts in November. Poor Maggie please let her walk again. Probably will walk again by Christmas, you know how Days drags there storylines.
@Harry. Great way of describing Billy, Harry. Jason is not working, as Billy. Not even the original Billy ( David Tom) could play Billy as Billy M. It is what it is. Naughty Billy, as portrayed by BM was realistic…..we forgave him. I don’t know why, but I did; as I think many did, too. The present Billy obfuscates the character…..too nebulous, without definition. His composure, his looks, his gestures, his comportment speak of nothing. There is no ‘bad boy’ characteristic ( so effortlessly displayed by BM) that Jason’s Billy offers that draws me in. But, I do know the… Read more »
Harry…I really doubt that ANY actotr on any show, or film, has the liberty to interpret a character the way he/she wants to the extent that they play them angrier, colder, sillier, more emotional, etc than the writer (s) intended. Jason can’t just play Billy cold to distant himself from Patrick, but can take a role that’s different to show his versatility. I think whenever these characters seem “out of character” it’s because they’re just written differently. Of course each actor has his/ her own style but can’t deviate too much from who the character is written to be….
Celia…as always, you are SO RIGHT ON!!!!! I am so damn tired of watching poor Maggie being stuck in that wheelchair!!!!! To me, it’s like ‘GET OUT OF THAT WHEELCHAIR AND WALK ALREADY’!!!!! BEYOND DUMB!!!!!
Later, friend.
@jaybird369.
Hey, jay,
Right? Poor Maggie wasting away in that wheelchair. It seems, though, that she’s on her way to using her legs again. She stood up today.
Later, jayjay.
absolutely, Mark. If not Sami, the Kate. I have always loved Kate. This is one time where I don’t even think of Kate as being in her sixties. She is that hot and sexy. Kate has chemistry with any man….that’s something that is innate. It’s unfortunate why TPTB can’t keep this powerhouse grounded. They have a gem, but do not give her the credit she deserves. I am soooo waiting for Abby. As yourself, I hope her acting isn’t as languid as the fare we’ve been getting lately with the younger group. Abby and Chad must mesh, in all ways….physically,… Read more »
I’m very worried about the future of DOOL. GH, YR & BB consistently hold steady or show improvements. DOOL has had a writing revolving door for several years now and can’t seem to find worthy or fresh stories to tell. I hope this is not the swan song for this daytime legend!!! I will stay with it for as long as it takes to bring up those ratings. Come on Days of our Lives. We need you!!!!!
Geez I was thinking the same thing – for a while there, DAYS OF OUR LIVES was really interesting and innovative, between Will and Sonny having problems and of course EJ and Sami going at it – but now, to be honest, I force myself to watch it, if Belle leaves for Japan and takes what’s his name with her, I will be happy to say Sayonara – and take Claire too so we don’t have to listen to her whiney vocalizing which I could happily live without. I watch the show at night on the NBC app and unfortunately… Read more »
Yeah, I always think, if the ratings go up, chances are we get to keep our shows! Y&R had a big week with their anniversary and Adams “Death.” I hear next week Billy’s secret affair is out for everyone to know and Sharon is exposed! Sounds like another ratings win next week for Y&R! GH: Jason and Sam’s wedding was a snooze fest! Franco is EVERYWHERE! Give us a break! So, Lulu cannot even raise ONE child and she wants to hunt down Starvos’s Popsicle! I was thinking while Robert drank a coffee at Perks, why would he spend two… Read more »
Oh, my Timmmy. You are too funny….but, soooo on the mark!! I missed talking to you. Spent the day in the city (Freedom Tower)……our yearly excursion to honor those poor souls who lost their lives this day, 15 years ago. ….sad, sad, sad!!!!! Rest in peace!! What I will say next will completely negate my above solemn words, I know…but, here it goes, Timmmy….. I hope Jack kills Billy, (LOL) when he catches the cheaters. Best way of getting Billy off the show. Sooo not liking him…. Sorry, Jason T. This is not your role….not doing Billy Abbott justice. In… Read more »
Im surprised Sam wasn’t married in Morticia’s Addams black dress…or su’s-lol
I miss talking to you, as well my little online sister! Freedom Tower, have to go there, for sure. I saw a special on Flight 93 and even FIFTEEN years later they interviewed one of the fireman who responded to that tragedy and STILL was brought to tears recounting that dreadful day! Yes, switching gears to soaps, Jack NEEDS to show his manhood, so to speak and disown Billy. UNFORGETTABLE, hands down! Billy would be dead to me if he were my brother! Sam looked old to me. She looked tired. I do agree on black. NEVER a bad choice… Read more »
Timmm, I always enjoy reading your take on things. I personally didn’t mind Jason and Sam’s wedding, however. I thought it was refreshing to see a wedding that was just a wedding for a change, two people got married, and that was it. No one got shot, stabbed, kidnapped, held hostage, no one’s ex-husband or ex-wife came back from the dead to interrupt the wedding, no one got left at the altar, no one got into a fight, no evil twins returned, no one got arrested, no one died. Did I hit enough soap opera wedding cliches, lol?
Thanks GH1980. Yeah, you are right, there are not many weddings, especially on GH where it doesnt end in gun fire! I love your cliches, all spot on!
@GH respectfully.. must the reason thee wedding was without resonance… as I’ve always posted… everything about the Corinthos’ pie… entourage… with the kingpin… is dullard I thought it was that much blah… because of ALL the cheers going on.. between Sam / Jason / Carly / Sonny / Spinelli… who does not add much any more on the comedic The Corinthos’ bunch of malaise Sonny / Carly / Jason / Sam / Michael / Spinelli / Alexis / Molly / Kristina and those adorable brats Jake and Daniel… okey dokey argh ! right ? since Sonny and Carly shout from… Read more »
He, Timmmy, Awwww, thank you. I like the idea of being your online sister. I do not know where you live, but, yes, everyone, given the opportunity should visit FREEDOM TOWER. You become one with the ‘lost’ and their spirit. I felt it!!!! Just as I said months ago, that everyone should visit a childre’s hospital in whatever State, he/she may reside. When confronted with these sick, helpless chilfren, one reslizes just how short and fragile life is….in the grand scheme of things? Stupid ‘fistifights’ mesn nothing. I was a teen at the time….at boarding school in Connecticut. Let me… Read more »
Cee Cee, I visited a childrens hospital when I was a youth with the church. I NEVER forgot the sadness and desperation in some of those patients eyes. We are all so lucky. My god how horrific it had to be to be out of touch with your parents on 911. Glad they survived. I watched a special on Sunday where it was reported that Cantor Fitzgerald lost 658 of its 960 New York employees in the World Trade Center attacks. Its unfathomable and sad! Soaps: Jason needs to be with someone totally new and exciting. I like Sam BUT… Read more »
Hello, Timmmy, Witnessing children who suffer from illness, hunger, abuse etc. and the tragedy of terrorism, war, guns, etc break my heart. I felt humbled seeing the completed Freedom Tower. I still ask why.???? Why the massacre of human life?? Then again, what do I know!!!!! I am one of the deplorables; categorized and haphazardly placed into a basket in the company of more deplorables. I love everyone. I love my family. I love my neighbors, and yours, Timmmy. I love my fellow women/men. We are one. I believe in God. I believe in the truth. I cherish life and… Read more »
Liz is no angel. On another site, IF you even think about criticizing her for ANYTHING, your ass is theirs! Why wouldnt she hold onto those diamonds until Nick resurfaces? I guess because she thinks he is dead? Its silly. I was never a big Liz fan. Carly gets a lot of heat but sweet little Lizzy isnt so sweet! She did look awesome in a hospital bed for falling down the stairs. By love!
Dearest CeeCee….You have the most beautiful knack for putting things in the proper perspective….I thought of you on 9/11 and wondered if I happened to see you without knowing it whilst watching the memorial services at the former Ground Zero….but I digress. I’ve not been watching GH on a regular basis in an age….too busy and not at all motivated due to the utter mess it has become—save for an occasional peek with certain characters—but I always check in here to read what my favorites like Timmmm, Harry, jimh, k/kay, etc. and, of course, you, have to say, and none… Read more »
@Shay. Oh, my sweet, sweet, Shaybelle, It is so good to hear from you. I did not know what to think? I assumed you went on a ‘world excursion’. LOL. We did not go abroad ( except for Canada) this year. I don’t want to put my kids at risk, albeit terror does exist in our own backyards. We did catch a couple of weeks on the Vineyard…..I do not like going when the White House is there. This is a close kept secret, LOL….. Rarely does one find a Vineyarder whose ‘welcoming’. The place becomes a madhouse. My mother… Read more »
Hey there, CeeCeeGirl!!!! Thanks for missing me….I’ve missed you, too! It was just a very weird summer…much too hot and humid for me, so I crawled into my AC-cooled cocoon and didn’t emerge much. I think I’m genetically-incapable of handling those weather conditions….my people came from the cooler climes of Europe…LOL. Anyway, the approach of fall always invigorates and excites me….both in terms of life and programming. I am feeling somewhat more hopeful about GH now….a real housecleaning has been in order for an age, and finally it is happening. More please! I did notice today that Alexis was a… Read more »
@Shay. Hey, Shay, I have been so out of touch, except for my soaps, LOL., with shows this summer….as most summers. I think Archie has popped in and out of Primetime shows, here and there. BLINDSPOT is one of them. Other than that, I don’t know. I am looking forward to POLDARK2, though. LOL. I always manage to watch my soaps…..and, I am still reeling by Sabrina’s death. I know this is what you were waiting for ….lon-time-awaiting…LOL. But, I will miss her. I do not want Alexis to go off the deep end. She’s suffered enough from her stupid… Read more »
@Shay. Oh, Shay, Lest you, or others get the wrong impression….I was merely being sarcastic about being enlightened by Robert Byrd. His comments are lurid, brutal, bigoted and offensive. Sometimes, we do not know what goes on behind closed doors with these politicians until someone runs for the highest office. If we are to vilify one candidate, we must open the can of worms of the other. Keep it at an even keel. The same could be said about our beloved soaps….politics!!!! Why do characters get killed off while others remain? It’s one thing if one leaves by his/her own… Read more »
I don’t think Day’s will make…to far gone and I don’t see it getting back to where it use to be.
Not too far gone for one last shot with good writers..When you tell people there’s ANOTHER baby story on the horizon someone higher up than Corday needs to realize HE’S the problem..sadly the show MOST likely is in it’s last and final reset/reboot and year.
NBC will be the first network in decades to ruin a soapless afternoon..it will be interesting to see how they handle it..our not.
Run not ruin
GH hardly has anything to crow about. It’s absolutely awful right now under the sloppy, lazy and insipid writing of Jelly. Then there’s the oblivious Mr. Valentini, who I’ve lost so much respect for over the past year or so. If anyone is watching this mess, it’s only out of habit and/or morbid curiosity.
Or maybe people are watching GH because not everyone has the same opinion as you, and they actually enjoy the show.
Amen GH1980! We watch GH because WE are fans! Yes, the writing is getting really bad AND there are too many characters BUT Anna will be back soon and I hear Paul will be wiping the show soon of one of its least favorite characters!
Yes we’re watching and the writing is NOT bad. If it was…wouldn’t be watching.
I love your description of Jelly’s writing!
I agree with you about how awful GH is right now. Not one storyline or couple I care about tight now. Shouldn’t storylines connect also.
I’m not watching GH for any reason other than I’m enjoying it. Kudos GH!
I watched a bit more of Days this week, but mostly on Xfinity after the show was aired. There are commercials on that, so it must generate revenue – does that count at keeping Days on the air? Any way, I digress, I watched to see if there were any improvements. Some of it was not too bad, I just notice that I like the parts that are not so dark, gloomy, etc. – I like the more upbeat positive aspects. Example, Sonny (whom I love and glad is back) had a nice conversation with Chad trying to uplift him.… Read more »
DAYS is DOWN in households, share, and all reported demos from last week and last year. They are down in total from all previous years. A very small increase from LAST WEEK puts them just 4,000 above the LOWEST-EVER total of Tomsell’s era (Aug 2012 to Aug 2015). Days has been down in unprecedented dumps since May! (And the catastrophic fall-off began in February!). This year so far has brought Days three record-breaking new lows in totals (in the space of seven weeks). Days has had four record-breaking lows in Women 18-49, at least two record-breaking lows in Women 18-34,… Read more »
DAYS of OUR Lives is officially an all new show….
Dena Higley and Ryan Quan… writing team… effective September 6, 2016
ALL I can say…
Thank the soap Gods… Billy Flynn is still “thee” show
it’s a blast just to see Laura Horton… LOL smile warmth cherish laud .. she’s divine
I finally got to see Adrienne and Steve together !
Sonny is so welcomed back
I missed Daniel Cosgrove
here comes Anna DiMera
I hope Kim and Shane Donovan are back forever
Andre DiMera is a hoot
PS: major coop just to see Kassie DePaiva ( for Theresa wedding) … for this short return… and WILL BE WAITING Patiently for this Ladys BLAST
YES
“watching” wink wink… Sonny and Chad as bff… oh it’s so smoky sultry tantalizing
and they’re still bff. what dream
I’ve decided I like Claire… as her parents move to Hong Kong… our little starlet , whos in love, with Theo… moves in with grandma.
i’m actually looking forward to the three convicts…. take me Xander
Patrick….you naughty boy, you!! LOL.
Can’t say I blame you.
But, seriously? How convenient is the jail-break? So, Theresa will be swept away, not to be heard of again?
Yes, seeing Kassie was a gift.
Can’t let TMZ beat GH in rating now that they are both on at three PM.
I am happy the soaps are hanging tuff.
Why does it seem likes the episode is getting shorter and shorter what happened to 25 min
Addicted to BandB wish it was longer
I DVR #YR daily…Are DVR recordings included in the ratings? That’s how many of my working friends watch too.. If not I guess ill turn my tele on and leave it lol
That’s not how it works, Jessi. I believe a box is installed in selected homes which records what shows are being watched. The box is then retrieved….and, that’s how they arrive at the numbers’.
