GH stayed the same in 18-49 at a 1.5. Y&R at a 1.9. DOOL at a 1.4

In HH ATWT and OLTL are at a 1.9, AMC got a 2.0.

ATWT deserves the 1.9 rating it got last week. Last week had to be the s h i t e s t week ever in ATWT history. It was so dull and boring with not one good story. Goutman and Pissy actually deserved worse than a 1.9 for last weeks torture!!

OLTL....Carlivati=failure!! I wonder how he feels to join the hack club with Pissy as Head Boss.

But he's not a hack Soapsy

I'd say he's more than earned his "hack" status. Guess propping Todd Manning at other characters expenses isn't drawing in those viewers

[Babygurl]

Dare I ask what even happened on ATWT's last week? I would think they would be concerned considering Guiding Light
fate, survival.

That's the thing Babygurl. Nothing happened last week on ATWT. It was boring and uneventful. Jade found out whats his face was her dad. It was so non eventful. It had no build up or suspense.

Ooooh suds, who's the Jadie daddy? I've been missing As The Recast Turns lately.

The guy that was working for James Stenbeck, Derek...his name just popped into my mind.

[jfung79]

The Jade story was the highlight and it was only one episode.

Really, nothing else happened last week except for Carly suddenly agreeing to marry Craig and Meg suddenly agreeing to marry Dusty. It was pure torture. I, too, thought they might go below 1.9, but I'm glad they didn't. This week will probably be a low ratings week too.

AMC need to cut their losses with Pratt as well as Tracy Thompson. And no there doesn't seem anything is working with Prattass's writing these days. The only thing I'm looking forward to is Kendall waking up, Zendall's reunion and Kendall's reunion with her boys.

And sorry but that is absolutely nothing to look forward to at alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*************************************

With all the bad weather this week and so many places without electricity I can just imagine that next weeks ratings are going to stink worse than these do.

*********************************

Trying to look on the positive at least AMC didn't fall like some others did. So I guess that is something to be thankful for. I wish Y&R and OLTL didn't but oh well.

It's a show about "nothing"....
Although, they're starting to freak me out with all those unnecessary outdoor shots.

ATWT: "I know you don't like this on GL, but what if we did it like this?"

I like the outdoor shots on ATWT, they sure beat seeing the same two rooms at the hospital every time someone goes there. Of course, I like the GL ones too.

I hate to keep repeating myself but just because a show does not go up or goes down is NOT the HW's fault.

Daytime is losing viewers as a whole. Just look at Y&R which IMO one of the best soaps right now but it went down. Do we balme MAB? No because shes doing her just and writing a good show. I don't understand why people blame Carlivati or Pratt. IMO OLTL deserves to go up but that dosn't mean it will same for AMC. Pratt has been able to get AMC back on track.

Gosh. Just because a couple of people don't like how a show is dosn't mean thats how everyone feels and vice versa.

[JONNYSBRO]

I actually think overall January has been a boring month for OLTL. It went from a very big November sweeps into a good December but January has been a boring month. I can tell the show is in between sweeps periods and maybe with the Red Ball things will sizzle back up in February.

[marceline]

Well as long as we're all making our stump speeches...

ABC is doomed as long as Frons remains at the top. It wouldn't matter if Mark Twain and Maya Angelou were writing these shows.

Of course it's the HW fault. Y&R almost hit 4.0 last week. It has been on a role because of good writing. Even though they went down in HH's they held a 1.9 in 18-49 demo. The other soaps have been dropping or just staying stale in the ratings due to hack writers. Pratt is a hack writer too. I have seen AMC and it is still bad. That is my opinion on it and you have yours. I still say a good writer can make the ratings rise. Just look at Y&R's success the last couple of weeks. I still say it will hit a 4.0 soon.

[Zendall Fan]

What Soapsy said

I find it hilarious that when ratings go UP the HW is immediately praised, but when ratings go down suddenly its NOT the HW's fault

Yes it is the HW's fault, he/she is the one who hires the writing team, in the end it's the HW who gets the credit for what we see onscreen

[rangethatrover]

I love how the word "hack" is thrown around. I also love how B&B is never mentioned in the same breath. B&B has the most embarrassing dialogue and acting on TELEVISION. Period. Every bad stereotype in the book. And in the process- kicks all the other shows asses (other than Y&R of course) in the ratings.

Y&R and OLTL have bored me to tears this week. Y&R's episode today was so LAZY- Especially the "cliffhanger" with Eden. I did enjoy Brad and Sharon's final scene though. OLTL showed some life today, especially with the cinematic level editing of Nora in the courtroom. Other than that both my shows were yawnworthy.

I am sad to say that B&B's storyline involving the two fashion houses was the most watchable storyline this week. Despite the horrendous acting and ridculous dialogue. And no more of this "OH, BUT THAT'S B&B's old fashioned writing style". Puh-leeze- It is soap opera cliched script writing at its worst.

Martha, Martha, Martha- Can you bring some intelligent, NATURAL dialogue to this stilted show?

[rangethatrover]

On the topic of sucky writing= bad ratings-

DOOL?

What is the consensus where this show is concerned as far as writing quality (Drake and Diedre taken out of the picture)
Is the show any good?? I never hear much about it.

I have never watched Days other than during the Eileen Davidson Mary Moira/Susan/ect stuff for a few months years ago. I fast forwarded everything else.

Eh, I don't mention B&B because IMO the show is a huge joke. It has some good actors...Tom, Flannery, Cook but the stories are repetitive and just dumb in most cases.

Days has been hitting the 3 million mark lately. I dont find the show that bad but I am not a Days fan so that may be why. Let's see how the ratings will be without Dee and Drake on.

[marla0518]

the hacks at Y & R are regurgitating old storylines and and can not come up with anything new it is sad...the only good thing happening on the show is Katherine! nobody cares about Sharon and Nick cheating AGAIN, nobody cares that Victor is still after Jack and Jack is after Victor...same ole same ole!! too bad DD got some of his best scenes in YEARS in the last two days he was on screen!

Ari Zucker (Nicole) is pretty much the star of the show now since she's the only one getting half way decent material......
