Well, this week *did* feel like a chore to watch sometimes, with Sami's horrible raccoon eye -make up weeping all over contrivances. Plus with the warm summer weather so I doubt many were watching inside. Next week the numbers will be better though!!!

I'm hoping this week w/Kristen's return helps the ratings! I know I'm 100% more interested already. But I can't really comment on last week b/c I spent the whole time wishing NBC would just delete those eppis from the cycle and start Kristen's return already, lol.

The end of of the week did feel, to me, like it was dragging on some. I imagine there will be a spike on the next weeks ratings but Days oftentimes has those big drops, big gains, drops, gains, etc etc. Im interested in following the next months ratings. Soon we will be in November sweeps (time flies) so hopefully we will gain more evenly before then so we can soar! But we have to have riveting story for that to happen and surely by then all full hell will have broke loose since we have some very interesting departures around that time! It's going to be interesting to say the least.

I am hoping Kristen's return tanks ratings wise....I want CHANGES on this show BTS...I will never be fully invested with TomSell in control...that much I know.

I love ED and Kristen...but I kind of don't want this shitty show to benefit financially from her....plus her return so far as been an EPIC fail!

I agree 100%. I am a huge fan of Eileen Davidson, but I don't think the show deserves huge ratings right now. Her return is being absolutely wasted.

Thursday: 1.6/2,185,000


Is this a new low for daily rating viewership (that is not pre-empted or interrupted?).

What the hell happened on Thursday or better yet, Wednesday?
The ridiculous Sami/Caroline scenes! lol.

Hopefully, Kristen can bring the ratings back up.
I don't know if that's possible since they chose to put tan Dan in her storyline.
Plus I wonder if people will care since they know that she has already moved on to Y&R. They can wait a month and see her there.
But I don't see how that would matter. Viewers don't live by the backstage schedule, but by what is happening on screen. Also, the same people are hardly going to be watching for Kristen and Ashley, unless one is an ED fan in particular.

No, I don't think it's even close. I think we were getting 1.5s somewhat regularly at one point, and the total number for that day is definitely not a record low. We were getting that a lot in the days leading up to MarDar being fired. So there is hope!
Do you know what the record low daily rating is? Is it below 2 million viewers? 2.185 seems awfully low to me...it must be close to the record low.
Okay. As far as I can tell, they've definitely slipped below 2 million. It's usually close to a holiday, but not always just the holiday. However, that IS their record low daily total for 2014.

I think, numbers will get up on Monday and Tuesday because of ED's return. I wouldn't be so sure about Thursday and Friday though, because the story is uncreative and doesn't make any sense so far.

People love the actress as much as the character. That's why GH keeps stealing actors from Y&R. ED has a following. Since Kristen is only on for a short time, I really can't see people saying they want watch just for her, especially since her return seems to have nothing to do with her previous exit. If it did she would have kidnapped Marlena. The person who had exposed her. I think most people will tune in for ED. Days will hope they will see enough other s/ls that make them want to stay.

Days has been trying to get something going and they have missed the mark each time. Yet they had remained fairly steady. Now they have their first big drop. Even if you have been waiting for Krisen's return, I don't see them gettin a 200K hit from it. Maybe I'm wrong. I mostly hope that viewers aren't disappointed and we end up with another big drop. Days can't afford it.

Yeah the show is just in another "holding pattern ". Viewers are "holding " themselves back from watching this disaster. Any excitement over ED/Kristen coming back was ruined for me when I read about Daniel being involved. I refuse to have that character shoved down my throat anymore. They can try to sell him asa cross between Tom Horton and John Black until the cows come home but THIS old man ain't buying it!

THIS. I dearly love ED but my love for the show as a whole far outweighs my love for one actress. And because I love my show I want to see it stay on the air which won't happen with TomSell in charge. So let the ratings tank. TomSell has to go.

I'm sure people do follow actors, and I tuned in for a couple this past year on YR, but it was pretty boring so I can't imagine tuning back in again.

I know they have slipped below 2 million before, but those are days that are not typically "counted" in the ratings, thus they are not used as their official "record low" episodes.

I think 2.185 must be very close to the lowest "no interruption, no holiday" counted daily rating the show has ever had.

Honestly one of my many crosses to bear with Tomsell is that ever since Days got renewed, it seems like they are just coasting by, putting as little effort as possible into producing an entertaining show. The letdown of the Hope/Aiden "gala" is a symptom of this. And very little makes sense, like Nicole's year-long Mary Magdalene journey doing an abrupt 180 when she shredded the evidence that would exonerate Eric. I know for me, the massive load of WTFery that took place in the Kiriakis mansion when John was attacked has put the show on a hiatus for me that I don't see changing anytime soon.

Right. That's why I specified that they were near holidays but not the actual holidays. They counted. That's why I mentioned them.

Well, DAYS is a total clusterfuck shitshow right now, so these numbers aren't surprising. Sami's revenge story is all kinds of a hot fucking mess of steaming shit. I'm more than ready for that bitch to die a fiery death at any time now.

This show has been MUCH worse. I have almost erased everything from 2000 to 2012 specifically and that is coming from someone who has watched since 1995 and catched up on 80's through DVD edits and youtube (I'm only 27 years old).
