So this means Sharon won't be stuck with his b!tch a$$? I say bring that love interest on for Sharon and let her do the damn thing. Finally, Sharon is free from Phick's orbit and being used to make them somewhat interesting. I just have to not that the polls may say one thing, but the ratings don't reflect it.

I hope this mean my girl gets away from this nutcase and move on to new and better things. Let Phyllis keep the head ache and see how long Phick last. I do not know what poll he is talking about because the rating do not show it. Oh....well I do not care if they do or not because my girll deserves better than being Nick doormat, I will let Phyllis keep that title for now.

Thanks Kenny :smile:

The ratings show the number of PHICK fans that quit watching Y&R because they broke them up. LML always enjoyed ratings that were 3.7 and 3.9. During sweeps the ratings were 4.0 to 4.3.
But MAB had the bright idea to break up one of the most popular couples in daytime (Phick) for the one of the most BORING, played out couples (shick) and fans especially the younger fans bolted.

Phick isn't bringing in any ratings, it's almost sickening to still read that some Phick fans, are still trying to give credit to a single pairing as the reasons for the former high ratings. What's the problem now, if Phick is the ratings grabber, the ratings have been at an all time low now for awhile with Phick being together. Their re re re re re re re commit redo only gander a 3.4, same as their po-dunk anniversary, only generated a 3.4, so that's not saying so much for them being a ratings getter.

Well Shick getting it on in the cabin garnered a 4.1, but that's neither here nor there. This is a great opportunity for SC, especially if they bring a new man on the scene for her. That was the problem, JM was the only man available in Sharon's age group. Other than Victoria Sharon is the only other woman in her 30s on the show. So Nick was really a leading man by default, because for some reason TIIC don't think they need more men on the show. The only other man that gave Nick a run for his money was Brad, but they wrote Brad into a corner and instead of just going for a Shad pairing they decided to get rid of him, BIG MISTAKE. It's time to give Sharon someone hot to work with, hell I can go for Billy, that was HOT. It doesn't matter if Nick and Sharon reunite, Sharon's already had the best of Nick.

I wish that Sharon would get a new love interest, and Nick realizes that he loves and wants to be with Sharon. Then Nick can fight for Sharon while she is with someone else. Nick can watch her be in love with someone other than him.

Why would Nick fight for that USELESS, serial cheating airhead? Why so she can go after his father again? Or maybe she will try to sex up JT. We know Sharon always has sex with her brother-in-laws and with Vicky's men.

Everytime someone brings up all of the deeds that Phyllis did, Paternity switches, blackmail, attempted murder and even MS said she thinks Phyllis killed Sacha, we are told that is the past. Yet Sharon is held to the fire for things she did years ago.

Sharon is no saint by far however, if I have to pick a better person based on PAST history...it sure isn't going to be a blackmailing, murderer thats for sure. :P

Please explain to me how a "paternity switch" works? Even for a soap this is incredibly stupid.

Are we to believe that overnight Phylis gained enought medical knowledge and training to alter complex DNA markers? lawd! The choice has already been made. MAB was asked about Phylis and Kevn's past misdeeds and her answer was and I quote " Phyllis and Kevin are both compelling characters so their past are overlooked." In other words who the heck cares! That's a big part of the problem for Sharon/Shick fans. You are stuck in the past. If Y&R is going to survive they have, as MAB said move into the 21st Century.

If it ever comes down to a choice at Y&R between Sharon and Phyllis, I have no doubt whatsoever how that vote would go.

Like I have stated on another thread:

Believe it or not "STALWARTS" are the largest fanbase of a show! LOL So, when JM slammed the stalwarts he slammed the majority of the Y&R viewership that holds the show up. JM basically is saying that Nick and Sharon has the largest fanbase based on his remark. STALWART is defined a someone who is loyal, committed and everlasting (viewers) YOUNG AND OLD, I AM YOUNG so JM slammed this young STALWART. Many others who are fans of Nick and Sharon actually took a liking after Nick lost his memory, that is not a stalwart! So, he defined his credibility and his affirmations of 65/35 in a wrong light to many of us fans out here who are not as vocal of a fanbase. JM dissed the Phick fans back in late 06' (after Shick's divorce), 07' (before vault kiss) and early 08' (before Paris kiss), now the man is changing tunes and he rings his bells for Phicks! lol JM is not truthful on any counts, he even says in a latest interview that being married, and knocking up his ex-wife is not being a player! lol He is hilarious beyond words! I am confused by him as I know many are. But, his rooting and tooting for Phick is not here nor there, because Shick's fanbase is larger of the majority cut of stalwarts and newcomers, and people who tune varyingly and just happen to like Shick, he does not know of! Also, JM is not writing the show, if he wants to leave, so be it, he is not an all-around actor, NO offense. Sharon Case is, and she can be paired with other men on the program, and writers just seem to want to place SC WITH JM for some reason. And SC even had said that she enjoyed the sexy love scenes between her and Billy Miller and would have like to take Brad and Sharon's relationship to new heights as a Mr. & Ms. Smith Supercouple. JM can say anything he wants. but the truth is his words mean nothing at all..... :)

Exactly what did JM say to "diss" fans of Phick in the instances you mentioned? I don't remember anything.

JM got his percentages from fan mail, phone calls, and focus groups the show employ to determine fan response.

The show was also one, garnering much better stories. Brad went missing and died, Katherine was in the midst of her storyline. People were watching. The show did not spike. I saw this on another board and saved it because I thought it was an awesome accounting of how at least how two stories have affected or *not* affected the show to some extent. As you can see, IF people did tune in for Sharon and Nick, they certainly didn't stay around for the reunion that came in June. Nor did they come back for it. The show is a mess. But bragging about any one couple doing anything great for the show, is not really saying much.

As I think we will see that Nick does try to reunite with Sharon, but with the outside force of someone's machination, it prevents it from happening.

I am sorry, but I think the poster that you have addressed was referring to the Canadian ratings which Phick's re-committment did garner receive a 3.4. The US reflects a 3.5, but it was a drop in viewership but the ratings stayed the same as they were in the US. In Canada, or other countries that view the program before the US, actually account for the ratings on the Neilson. So, the 3.4 that person referrred to was indeed the actual ratings on Phick's magical day.. ;)

What are you talking about? Canada does not figure into the US ratings system.I worked in TV for 15 years. There is nothing difficult about this.

The show brought in a 3.5. Not that it matters as that's not a great number either.

What are you talking about? Canada does not figure into the US ratings system.I worked in TV for 15 years. There is nothing difficult about this.

The show brought in a 3.5. Not that it matters as that's not a great number either.

Sheesh.
