Days technically went up (and I say technically because the week before that they didn't count the ratings because of Wimbledon but they did actually go up as they had a 1.7 the week that wasn't counted and jumped to a 1.9 the week after) so I don't think the sex scenes make much difference. It's never just one thing (and it's definitely not just about one couple or the other) that makes ratings increase or decrease. Hell, all the soaps are falling. It's a bunch of issues, many of which went ignored for years and shows have paid for that mistake dearly in recent years. I know which ratings are which. I am saying the continued loss of viewership is related to that week. It was the type of stuff which could lead viewers to tune out permanently. I think the lower ratings last week are a reflection of the type of character destruction fans don't want to endure. It wasn't just dumbing down EJ but also making Chloe into a slut. They make everyone so unlikable and stupid it is just irritating to fans to bother to care anymore. Nicole looked as trampy as ever continuing to let EJ bang her even after he called out Samantha's name. So long as Days writers sacrifice characters for these events they hope will boost ratings, the show will continue to lose viewers. If "critical" praise is more important than the fans, ratings and revenue then so be it but I hope they are all brushing up their resumes if they continue along the path they are on.
