I can't think of a storyline on AMC that doesn't suck right now, it's doom and gloom and death practically every episode, I think Pratt has killed off more characters in a short period of time than anyone in a long time, right now isn't he at one death per month since he started?

[ATWT_GL_fan]

I think so Zendall Fan it does look like he has since I started watching back in october of last year

[amazing7]

Zendall_Fan AMC is all doom and gloom. What's so sad is that Pratt didn't kill off the characters that I hate and don't care about like Ryan, Bianca, Reese and Kwak.

CONGRATS GL Cant belive DOOL is no 3. I am happy for Y&R 2!!!

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Hmm, the drops aren't as bad as I expected, at least in HH's.

Good to see GL rise .1, I sure as hell never expected to seem them with a 1.7 again.

HAHA at GH's .2 drop in HH's...

[aMLCproduction]

CONRATS GL for being the only one to increase What is it going to take for ABC to make regime changes

[Rakesh]

Thanks Lskreet!!

Go GL!!

[Phoenix11]

Lskreet - If that's true, you just put a big old smile on my face!!

It looks as if GL was the only soap to go up in HH!

[Sorry for all the other soaps, I'm just ecstatic for "my little show that could"!]

[Zendall Fan]

Wow AMC lost 178,000 viewers in one week? Way to go Pratt!

So how long before he finally gets his pink slip? If Frons brought him into tank AMC, he's doing a great job of it

[RalphOrtiz]

Yay for GL!!!!

Totally deserved!! This show has been red-hot lately - well done!!

[Zendall Fan]

GL keeps this up, it won't be long before it surpasses AMC and OLTL LOL

You can't see me, but I'm doing my happy dance right now. This is the day that Liv all but confessed her feelings for Nat to Doris. I am so happy happy joy joy and hope GL really takes notice and realizes the gold mine they have in Otalia. Don't screw this up GL! Combine that with Phillip's return...........................

[Ruxton Hills]

Good to see GL rise .1, I sure as hell never expected to seem them with a 1.7 again.

HAHA at GH's .2 drop in HH's...

Yay for GL. And Haha to OLTL...Ron...the savior..right..lol.....so is GH having their usual bang bang event?? Glad to see a 1.8 on GL for Wed.

CONRATS GL for being the only one to increase What is it going to take for ABC to make regime changes

GL passing OLTL...LOL..which looks like could happen soon.

Thanks Lskreet!!

Go GL!!

Go GL beat OLTL.

I agree!!

Yup

[Money]

Nothing seems to be working for GH. GH is so unwatchable it's a travesty. I cringe every time Robin ignores Emma and leaves her crying, coupled with the fact that Robin comes off more as someone who's selfish/heartless/cruel and NOT someone suffering from post depression. They need to wrap this up quickly because that baby stuck in a tree in a raging blizzard would be dead by now and Robin is still completely unattached. This is now hat viewers want to see. Add another duplicate of a sweep stunt that we just saw a few months ago and GH isn't far off from a 2.0.

It's sad what's happening to OLTL. The show was on a role a few weeks ago and now it's just teetering. There isn't one storyline that is captivating or engaging.

I won't even bother commenting on AMC. ABC needs a complete overhaul. Frons must GO. It's not a mantra, it's not fan squawking, it's just the plain awful truth. If he continues to head ABC Daytime there will be nothing left.

[CarlD2]

Is this the first time GH has lost and lost viewers for these yearly stunts?

I don't want to see OLTL lose to GL, and I don't expect they will. GL is in a tough position with timeslots. That's why I'm pleased with what they have now. I just want to see GL continue to improve in quality, as it has this week (and if it's true Grant Aleksander has dictated writing choices, then good for him because his return has been very good so far). 1.7 is better than I expected. I'm hoping they can at least keep 1.7 with Phillip's return. I wish they'd had Otalia on more often this week as they seem to boost the ratings. GL has not promoted this storyline and yet unlike the AMC turkey, viewers still manage to find and enjoy it.

I've got to say, I think the GL is all Phillip and people getting caught up before the big return.

I hate to see shows drop, but seriously OLTL and GH were just bad last week.

[TMOTVSoaps]

Wednesdays are becoming a golden date for soaps as their ratings are spiking up hard on that day. Well except America's Bogus Company.

ABC Daytime needs to get their fuckin' act together as its starting to get depressing to look at their ratings. I think ABCD may need to rebrand that whole lineup soon. The truth is that the soaps quality wise are in decent shape, but many fans are still displeased. ABC lives off that demo really hard so they don't pay attention to the drop in the ratings unfortunately. That's what you guys get for not going to HD.

I think the biggest story of the year might be GL's turn around in '09. GL is turning things around big time and it reminds me of when DAYS was dead in the water in '07 & '08 and turned it around in late '08. I predicted that GL would be hitting a 1.8 around the time Phillip returned with Edmund. Besides the casting the stunts the real gold for this soap has been Natalia and Olivia's relationship as they have brought in a growing audience. With Y&R's recent uprise in the ratings GL should start seeing a 2.0 surpassing ABC's soaps and become the 6th place soap sometime before this fall.

ATWT has picked things up too so a renewal for both shows is coming.

DAYS & Y&R are fantastic! I'll talk more in-depth about each soap later on.

[sheilaforever]

Even though they lost viewers, it seem all CBS shows are still higher than pre-winter storm...
Hopefully they can keep those viewers and build on it.
