Great news for Days!!! It's really cooking now ... I would love for it to creep into the #2 spot.

Great for DOOL ( expect its ratings to take hit next week it did not air on Columbus Day in NYC market)

I knew OLTL would be hurt by its weak writing and controversial sl

O yes, the horrible horrible storyline that is out to ruin all of America. Get over yourself. Seriously!

we've already debated this

it is controversial sl thats undeniable.

So what if it is controversial, you act as tho that one storyline is the reason OLTL is low in the ratings. It's not. Trust me when crap like Days and B&B are in the top 3 there is something wrong with the people at home. They would rather watch hair models pretend they know how to act instead of real actors telling great stories.

If Days gets up to #2 would NBC still consider canceling it, like they have been for awhile?

I don't doubt that some viewers are homophobic but Kish really hasn't been featured that much so I don't think we can blame them for the bad ratings. If anything, viewers may be weary of the Tea/Todd/Blair triangle. At the end of day, it just absolutely unbelievable that these two dynamic women would be fighting over a deranged criminal like Todd. I do like TSJ and he is a talent but I don't think even he has enough charisma to make viewers buy that Todd is a romantic figure worth fighting over.

opposing gay marriage does not make one homophobic ( someone could say a pro abortion person is anti baby); the way sl is being written is not strong at all. I have already given my problems with it and won't bring them up again.

plus, that said Tea/Todd/Blair sl is complete mess and who cares about Jarrod at this point? Nothing on show is working none of couples are working.

It may not make one homophobic but it does mean that one does not have respect for civil rights and liberties. Anyone who believes in the prinicples of this country would not allow their personal religious beliefs to determine civil law.

Nate, don't even bother with him, DLD is "Not Homophobic", but he doesn't want to see them on his tv and thinks that they should be shoved in a closet out of his view. It is pointless fight and will only get this thread closed.

I will not speak for B&B, but DAYS is getting the ratings it is getting because it is playing GREAT classic soap stories that are involving the entire cast. It may not be perfect, but it is certainly IMO the best soap on the air at the moment, certainly above the INSANELY overrated OLTL!

Also insinuating that viewers of DAYS and B&B are idiots is certainly not going to win you any praise, in fact, it only makes you come off looking like a TOTAL ass! You go around telling people to get over themselves, how about you TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE....seriously!

Great they are telling "Classic Stories", but there cast is still made up of mostly hair models trying to act. Please don't tell me that I am wrong there, because it's true.

O yes, I am in the bad guy because I think that most of the cast at Days are a bunch of hair models, but DLD is an awesome "Non-Homophobic" person. RIGHT!

Do I have to report your posts yet again?

stop the lies! You little drama queen! I have had it up to here with you losing a debate and then taking the personal attack route because u lose. Game over!

Not everyone supports gay marriage hence the reason it is illegal in every state almost and OLTL has not shown 2 sides to the issue and is instead trying too "educate" its viewers into their ideals. Not good way to tell story. I'd have more respect if they showed why people oppose the gay marriage issue with a balanced portrayal of those wanting it.

Instead we are seeing this sl shoved down viewers throats and people don't like that.

I am sure ur charming person by way. wink wink

Ahh Yes because saying that you are non homophobic is such a horrible thing.

Do you honestly think that most of the Male viewers of Soaps are straight?

Do you also think the "Gay" Storylines on As the World Turns, Guiding Light, All My Children & The Young and the Restless ruined them also?

DLD, you haven't proved anything here, unless you show me a report that says that OLTL's ratings have gone down BECAUSE of the Gay Storyline. There is not a damn thing wrong with entertainment trying to EDUCATE their viewers. Maybe if people were educated about gay rights issues they wouldn't be so closed-minded. Its about people of America having the same rights. Its doesn't matter who we fall in love with. Its about RIGHTS. Something that the casts at MULTIPLE shows are trying to do. There isn't a damn thing wrong with it. All My Children had a GAY WEDDING on their show! The horror! As the World Turns acknowledged their gay couple HAVING SEX! Jesus Save Us! There have been plenty of gay storylines on soaps and this is no different.

Also, I am not personally attacking you, most people on these boards have seen your posts in the other topic that got closed down and if anyone should be reported it should be you. (Calling me a Drama Queen and making a crap joke about me being a charming person, ya sure I am the first one to throw the mud and resort to personal attacks. )

Hmm... getting back to the ratings news, great to see ATWT escape the basement spot this week. Thursday's 2.6 million viewers for ATWT just shows cliffhangers still do the trick.

Looks like u are trying to close this thread too with your outright vicious lies and slander. The last thread was closed because of you.

You can have gay story line but having a gay wedding illegal storyline is controversial and the fact you will not even admit it, shows just how illogical and pointless it is to continue to talk to you because you live in dream world then.

I've heard this talk that people need to be "educated" its a bunch of liberal bs. Its called trying too indoctrine people and sadly we are seeing way too much of it lately. If you are all for education as you say then you will have zero problem with showing people supportive of gay marriage in positive light and those opposed in positive light as well? right?

I get that your gay and issue is touchy for you. I could care less who you love; I personally hope you are happy!

Trust me I am not trying to shut this topic down, the last one was not shut down because of me and nothing I have said is a lie or slander.

Just wanted to check something with you, have the writers at OLTL said that they are going to have Dorian and her partner get a marriage license? Do you not think that gay couples "get married" without their home state recognizing it? Lots of gay couples "get Married" and wear rings and introduce themselves as Husbands or Wives. There is nothing Illegal about the storyline unless they actually claim that they have a marriage license.

Please tell me how you can put a positive light on a person who doesn't support the rights of a human being? Please explain that to me, because for me that would be like saying lets put a positive light on a Racist. I am asking this question in all seriousness, not asking to belittle you or as you say spread my "Outright Vicious Lies and Slander."
