The 18-49 is the key demo and Days numbers have been eroding there since MarDar arrived.

Despite my liking the EJ/Sami, EJ/Nicole, and heck even the Daniel/Billy interaction, it's not enough to make me actually watch the show on a daily basis. Even though I record the show, I rarely actually watch it. Occasionally, I'll FF'd to certain scenes, but 9 times out of 10 reading the recaps suffices.

Time to stick a fork in GH. The show is still dark, dreary, and humorless. The OLTL additions have not helped at all. B&B to me is the most underrated. And I hate to say it, I actually like the pill addiction story for Hope. That to me is the best storyline overall on all 4 shows and it's actually topical. Y&R just, I don't know, some parts I am liking better, I like the BON story, but some parts like the Chelsea stuff eh Days is just kind of a mess IMO. None of the current stories interest me. I don't care about the 30 something group, the Alamania story, Billie, or Kate and Ian. And Wills story is not on enough.

And deserved. Hate most of the stories under MarDar. Will's story is decent but not enough to make me watch regularly.

That 18-49 demo is a killer for Days, and I have an idea these ratings are going to get worse before they get better. There is nothing on the show to consistently interest a large group of viewers and what is on is all over the place.

MarDar deserved to get fired just for that and anyone that signed off on it should be out the door with them. I shudder to think what the ratings would be if not for the Will story. I have a feeling the next three months are going to be a nightmare.

The blame is with the storylines in general, not just with the Alamania one, IMO. ETA: Something isn't resonating with the GA, and it's impossible to say what or which storyline(s) is to blame, IMO.

Will�s story isn�t really story in the right sense. It�s more a slowly told character journey and that�s fine but it�s not strong enough to attract viewers on it�s own. It can�t amazingly work as the "B" or "C" story of the show but there still needs to be something bigger and twisty and chalenging which makes people think "I have to see what happens tomorrow." I quess Alamainia was supposed to be that story but IMO it�s embarraring, poorly done and without propper concerns from anyone in Salem we have no idea what we should even care. It�s basically John/Hope�s 6 weeks trip into past with no consequences for anyone else.

I think the only thing which kept viewer�s attention the last month or so was the Abby�s obsession story. It was simple to understand even for casual viewers, the motivations (somewhat) worked and it was entertaining to watch. Once that ended, the show fully crashed.

It�s basically John/Hope�s 6 weeks trip into past with no consequences for anyone else. But I'm sure from the show's POV, his journey is the storyline. Part of the audience may not feel that way, but I'd bet the show doesn't. If he were just hanging around being background material and simply a support character, a la Sonny and/or Marlena, then I'd say it isn't a storyline. But because we see this journey taking place on our screens, I can only conclude that yes, we are meant to see it as a storyline. And I agree wholeheartedly the show needs a must see TV "A" story, because what we have so far, may it be the 30 somethings, the teens, the Vets, the let's revisit the 80s adventures, nothings is working. ETA: To be more clear in regards to my original comment, I'll just copy/paste a comment I made on another mb: Quote: Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be one storyline that the GA is interested in. It's not just the Alamania SL; it's the Will, EJ/Nicole/Rafe/Sami/Carrie/Austin, Chad/Melanie/Gabi, etc, etc., etc. storylines too. None of them seem to be resonating with the GA. I know we (as in fans of specific couples, characters, and/or storylines) tend to blame the other storylines for the show's failure, but it's the storylines in general that's the problem.

There�s not ONE S/L I can sink my teeth into and hold my interest beyond 2 seconds! I�m just hoping it's not to late and viewers haven�t totally given up on DAYS! Because it is one huge mess right now and my question is can it be fixed? Is it July/August yet? Edited by lovinsafe, Apr 7 2012, 02:08 PM.
