I've had this prepared a while ago and I forgot where I put it. I finally found it while looking for something in my flash drive that I needed for work. Here it is in a nutshell. All the numbers I pulled from the SON ratings archives and can be verified here: SON Ratings Anyway, here it is, from the week after Bryan left through March of 2011. RATINGS Total Viewers-Days of Our Lives Week of Feb 15, 2010 3. DAYS 3,275,000 (week to week loss/gain) Feb 22, 2010 3. DAYS 3,222,000 (-53,000) Mar 1, 2010 3. DAYS 2,973,000 (-249,000) Mar 8, 2010 3. DAYS 2,934,000 (-39,000) Mar 15, 2010 3. DAYS 2,838,000 (-96,000) Mar 22, 2010 3. DAYS 2,771,000 (-67,000) Mar 29, 2010 4. DAYS 2,582,000 (-189,000) April 5, 2010 4. DAYS 2,717,000 (+135,000) April 12, 2010 4. DAYS 2,563,000 (-154,000) April 19, 2010 4. DAYS 2,506,000 (-57,000) April 26, 2010 4.

DAYS 2,560,000 (-5,000) June 28-special coded week-ratings did not count July 5, 2010 3. DAYS 2,604,000 (+44,000) July 12, 2010 5. DAYS 2,395,000 (-209,000) July 19, 2010 7. DAYS 2,392,000 (-3,000) Last time in last-11/19/07 July 26, 2010 4. DAYS 2,564,000 (+172,000) Aug 2, 2010 4. DAYS 2,409,000 (-155,000) Aug 9, 2010 4. DAYS 2,494,000 (+85,000) Aug 16, 2010 4. DAYS 2,525,000 (+31,000) Aug 23, 2010 4. DAYS 2,475,000 (-50,000) Aug 30, 2010 4. DAYS 2,443,000 (-32,000) Sept 6, 2010 5. DAYS 2,494,000 (+51,000) Sept 13, 2010 5. DAYS 2,510,000 (+16,000) Sept 20, 2010 4. DAYS 2,376,000 (-134,000) Sept 27, 2010 4. DAYS 2,408,000 (+32,000) Oct 4, 2010 6. DAYS 2,338,000 (-70,000) Oct 11, 2010 5. DAYS 2,413,000 (+75,000) Anyway…..I’m not going to give the details for the weeks between October 11, 2010 and March, but by March 28, 2011 (1 year and a month after BD was let go, Days hit yet another low) Week of March 28, 2011---------->6. DAYS 2,228,000 (-133,000) * <---- new low Here is the week after Bryan was let go: Feb 22, 2010---DAYS 3,222,000--->March 28, 2011---2,228,00o 994,000 viewers less That puts Days 6,000 viewers shy of reaching 1 million viewers lost in a span of 1 year. It was a combo of many things, mainly Bryan being let go, The revisit of rapemi that summer after he left, and the disgusting Rafe two story that began in the winter of 2011. Sorry but more of Ej and Rafe hasn’t done this show any favors. Maybe FINALLY they got the picture, we weren’t furious over nothing. We love this show and it’s about more than Lumi for us, it’s about ruining the characters of Lucas and Sami systematically since 2007 to try to make Rapemi and Safe fly, they don’t work. Lucas is Lucas and Sami is Sami when they are Lumi, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. The next time someone says something about Days not losing viewers when Bryan left, point it out. Obviously, as I stated it wasn't all him, but getting rid of him didn't help Days AT ALL. |

For a lot of longtime viewers, Bryan was the final straw. Watching fan favorites like Matt Ashford, Dee, Drake, Stephen, MaryBeth etc. get dumped in favor of the never ending James Scott show and then the addition of the Passions leftovers was simply too much. Throw in the absurd featuring of characters like Melanie and Daniel and you have a recipe for disaster. Fans got fed up and did the one thing they have the power to do: not watch. Fast forward to the present and it's pretty obvious that somebody at Days finally gets it. We're no longer in EJ, Rafe & Melanie overkill mode. Longtime favorites have been brought back. It took them a bit longer to realize that Bryan was the key return, but I'm confident they know it now. The current show is not perfect. There's too little Jack and Jennifer is unlikeable on most days, and Daniel is a charater that should have been ditched instead of just rested, but there is hope. For the first time in a long time, I see a bright future for my favorite show and I couldn't be more pleased. |

^exactly this. Well put. Bry coming back is awesome, but viewers were hurt so some are waiting to see if they are going to do Lumi for real. Trust has to be earned back. I am just one of the Lumi faithful that believes it will happen. I don't trust the writers from before, but the newer writers have my interest again! |

Thanks for compilling the #s Regina. I've been wanting to have proof just how much letting go of BD has hurt Days. I knew, you guys knew it and if "others" saw it they'd finally have to admit it too. |

Regina, that's great that you did all that. Thanks! Bryan does seem to be the missing link for the show--and now that he's back we have something to be excited about. And it's just not us die-hard Lumis, its all these new fans or should say resurfacing fans who can't say enough good things about Lucas/Bryan. I hope that DAYS does realize they have a gold mine with LUMI and use them to their upmost! |

I know it probably cant happen but I would just love if Bryan single handedly saved the show just to prove everyone including past HW wrong for unestimated him and his talent

Not only were these ratings affected by lack of Lucas but other characters filled the screens everyday. As long as TPTB realize that then the numbers are sure to go up. |

Regina thanks for putting together the numbers. Frankly the other fan bases should take note and admit to themselves that what was happening on Days these last few years was just plain bad and moved away from the total soap 101 concepts of family, traditions, gossip, rivalry, good vs. evil, love and especially romance. They based these relationships not on friendship blossoming into love, but on unethical groping, jumping into bed for revenge, and the unspeakable rape. Those are not reasons to tune into a soap hence the departure of so many viewers over time. I've got my fingers crossed that the writers are heading into the right direction and that restart happened with Lucas's return. Yes if you work on a slow evolution of LUMI's relationship you just might find the ratings increase. But can we have a little Jack now, you bring him back but you don't utilize him as you could. |
