I think Chabby (and Rope) were on every day that week. But I was referring to the week as a whole. The week was largely about a double wedding for their two young couples. |

For me, Chad and Abby are a dull couple. I didn’t have any interest in watching them wed again, but I liked the staging of Ben coming in and Abby wondering if she was having a mental breakdown. Ben definitely kicked up the episode. Sonny thinking of Will during Chad & Abby’s vows was also well played. But, overall I wasn’t glued to my seat soaking in every moment. I was much more interested in watching the character reactions to Ben and his scenes with both JJ and Marlena. He was the one bringing energy to the episodes. Other than Bryan’s work as Lucas slipping into self loathing, I’m frankly bored by the other stories. I think Sami’s arrival is the shot in the arm the show needs. Just hoping Ron uses her in the best way possible. This means not making the mistake of her last return by bringing dead EJ into her motivations. :rolleyes: |

I just hope that - once Sami leaves again - they have some energy to make the Will/Sonny/Paul triangle (I'm assuming that's how this will play out) and Chad/Abby interesting. Cause if its just more Sonny, Paul, and Will in a holding pattern of who-do-I-love-more-and-who's-heart-is-gonna-be-broken...and Chad/Abby sitting around the DiMera livingroom/study talking about how everything effects Gabi? Sorry, but that sounds boring AF to me. Ben & Sami will be a shot in the arm, but they need something long-term to keep people tuned in, IMO. Edited by No1_ILoveLucyFan, Oct 8 2017, 08:13 AM.

I enjoyed Chabby with KM's version of Abby...they had way more chemistry than MM's version with BF does. IDK, there is just something really missing. |

BF and KM had a story! MM and BF were stuck in an awful triangle with Gabi with Abby as interloper in her own marriage. Then Ron just put them back together without fixing them. Ben played a major role in Chabby 2.0's reunion story. The writing helped KM and BF. It's not there for version 3.0. |

That's the thing right there. Late August/early September had full weeks that were higher than the double wedding episode. Those weeks were not focused on chabby Paulson either. It was mostly the sanitarium and Lucas |

I agree I think Ron slapped them back together and doesn't seem to care much to write actual content for them. They've been on a lot, doing nothing. But they are super dull as a pairing and good writing won't help that. Edited by Lovejm, Oct 8 2017, 08:24 AM.

Oh I agree but I also feel that KM is just a better actress than MM...there is absolutely no excitement in MM's Abby,she's dull |

Something is really missing for me too. It's not that I don't like MM but something about the two of them does not interest me but neither did Chad and Gabi. Chad just seems different to me. I used to really like him. |

I think Ben's return with the Will news is what will get this show going....in about a month I hope to see drastic improvements in the ratings. The gang going to memphis is going to be good |

I did this once a couple of years ago, I thought I would do it again. Here's a look at which actor has the most/less watched episodes on average. First the whole year (until now). Then just for Carlivati episodes. Posted Image I'll let you decide if it means anything about the actors/characters/stories or if it's just random and luck of the schedule.

Hugo- every time you whip out one of these things it's cool. Do you have a listing of the Ron episodes ranked highest to lowest? |

What's missing is romantic and sexual chemistry. The show has now given the actors light and playful scenes, drama and a lot more... yet, they never seem to click. Honestly, especially during the light and fluffy scenes, it seems more like MM and BF just goofing around as themselves than their characters. Also, like someone mentioned upthread, they are actually really boring when it's just the two of them - so I think the show might constantly need to throw interlopers at them to keep things somewhat interesting. Personally, I think the younger couples need to be shaken up and new love interests brought on - every.single.last.one.of.them. |

Given how small are differences in averages I doubt the correlation is significant. Edited by thepadange, Oct 8 2017, 09:29 AM.

Yeah. The most extreme cases are just 1.8% above average and 2.4% below average and can be explained pretty easily: Nadia aired a lot in the beginning of the year when the ratings are better while Lamon and Lucas weren't there. I thought it was interesting that for 2017, above average were all vets and all the young people were below average but I don't know. |

The ratings don't surprise me. They did go up a little so it isn't horrible. The thing is the week's big event that was heavily promoted (the double wedding) didn't air until Friday, which is traditionally the lowest rated episode of the week. Usually, when something big happens on a Friday, the ratings increase is reflected more on the next few episodes. So, normally the Monday and maybe even Tuesday episode would feature a noticeable increase after a big event Friday. Unofrunatrly, I doubt this will happen because Days was heavily preempted on Monday and they may even decide not to count it. Hopefully, word of mouth gets them some decent numbers in the other episodes for last week but the gain isn't going to be as good as hoped. Monday was the big cliffhanger fallout episode and they lost it essentially.
