Heres to hoping the AMC rises. It had a GREAT Week! With Jenny's Ceremony! With all those VETS!

I just hope all the Soaps in general rise!

[Ryan]

I predict very little movement within the ratings.

[Ponz]

I expect DAYS to recover at least .2 following Wimbledon week. That's the historical trend.

Nice to see ATWT go up. Wow and a 2.5 for Tuesday's show. That was the end of Cleo and Gwen/Jade trapped on the railroad tracks and being saved by Will.

(to the theme song) oone life to live....o-oone life to live........o-one life to live....one life to live....o-one life to live........oooooo-ne life to live....o-o-o-ne life to liveeeeeeeeeeeee.

ABC Soaps seem to be doing better then any other network. Nice to see that.

Good to see the ratings up for most of the soaps.

General Hospital has been stuck at a 2.6 for the past two months. Something DRASTIC needs to happen. I repeat this week in and week out. It's obvious that the Lucky/Liz/Jason/Sam story with baby Jizus is NOT doing the show any good. It's ashame that this is the frontburner story for the show. Everything else is pretty much alright. They need to make some changes or else they're going to fall below a 2.6. If B&B falls another week, it'll tie w/ GH or fall below it. That's nothing for ABC to be proud of. Yeah they can spin they're holding steady, but there's no growth.

DAYS is up as predicted over last week. Overall I'm enjoying the show a lot. Their weakest story is the teens and thank god they don't get a lot of airtime. The problem with DAYS is the lack of "other" stories going on. We are beginning to see them develop (like Andre impersonating Tony) and it's good that they all lead back to the big umbrella story, however........some diversity would be good. Again...I'm not complaining.

AMC deserves better ratings than it got last week. AMC & OLTL are quite frankly the best soaps on ABC right now. GH is a very distant third (mainly because of their two main stories that people hate).

[Soapsuds]

Just realized B&B hit a new low.

AMC deserves better ratings than it got last week AMC & OLTL are quite frankly the best soaps on ABC right now

That's not saying much. I frankly think both shows stink. I havent seen any improvement in AMC. I watch it and it is painful to watch....JMO of course.

I understand Ron. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

To say that AMC and OLTL are the best soaps on ABC right now is saying a lot. Especially when you compare the quality of the shows from the beginning of 2006.

GH started the year off very good IMO, then dropped the ball in late April & May...and haven't been able to recover since.

AMC has been on a creative quality upswing since McTavish was fired and the interim writers took over. The show is far from perfect, but the things that the fans actually want (i.e. balance, character interaction, dark tones being replaced with light ones, stories involving families). The show is 10X better than it was when written by McTavish.

OLTL has been great ever since Higley was fired. The show had an ABYSMAL month in May, and they've rebounded very well in late June & July.

Again, it's about comparing quality then, to quality now. Comparing stories then, and stories now.

[Juliajms]

I used to scoff when people spoke of GH overtaking B&B. I see the day I have to eat my words is quickly approaching. I never envisioned that it would be B&B's drop and not GH's rise that would make that happen. Damn!

[Ponz]

It's not a good sign that DAYS has only recovered half of its July 4th losses.

2007:

June 25- June 29: 2.2
July 2- July 6: 1.8
July 9-July 13: 2.0

Historically:

6/25/01.......3.....3.9.....13
7/2/01.......*7.....3.3.....07
7/9/01.........3.....4.0.....13

6/24/02.......3.....3.6.....12
7/1/02.........3.....3.5.....11
7/8/02.........2.....3.9.....13

6/23/03.......7.....2.8.....09
6/30/03.......8.....2.6.....08
7/7/03..........5.....2.9.....09

6/21/04.......4.....3.0.....10
6/28/04.....*6.....2.6.....08
7/5/04.......*4.....2.9.....09

6/26/06.....*3.....2.6.....08
7/3/06.........7.....2.3.....07
7/10/06.......3.....2.6.....08

[Ryan]

If it wasn't for DAYS low ratings on Thursday & Friday, their overall rating would have been higher. IMO any improvement in the ratings is good.

[Mitchapalooza]

I absolutely expected the DAYS gain...I expect them to gain again like .1 or .2 next week!

Wimbledon was especially rough to the NBC soaps this year, so naturally its going to take a little extra time for them to rebuild to their pre-wimbledon numbers.

DEFINETLY happy to see DAYS back in the 2's and back above GL!

[dtchicago]

OLTL has been great ever since Higley was fired. The show had an ABYSMAL month in May, and they've rebounded very well in late June & July.

Again, it's about comparing quality then, to quality now. Comparing stories then, and stories now.

I agree and understand why the show has been able to maintain its number 4 standing. The show still has a number of issues to workout but I have been enjoying the show most days over the past few weeks. I am seeing alot of potential and hoping that alot of good will come in the near future.

[Kwing42]

Good to see many soaps up and to see GL remain steady....but dang..that 1.6 on Friday KILLED them!

[DrewH]

At least DAYS is going up. Anytime I see a gain, I'm happy.

[Mitchapalooza]

WTF happened to all the soaps on Friday, every soap did BAD on that day besides GH, who was consistent with the other days #'s!

B&B got a 2.5 on Friday...that has to be a new record low for the dailies for them...1.6 for GL that also has to be a record low for them too in the dailies!
