Remind me why ratings are delayed? Monday wasn't a holiday.

They're not delayed....will post them in 5 seconds.

[Rakesh]

GL actually got some okay numbers but they are still terrible. Thanks Toups.

[alwaysAMC]

Ouch - looks like OLTL took the brunt of all ratings drop.

[Ann_SS]

ABC has those horrible reruns on Memorial Day so that is the reason for the drop. CBS had lower ratings on Memorial Day, but they weren't that bad. ABC should rethink their rerun strategy.

[CarlD2]

I can imagine Michael waking up to hurl abuse at his pregnant mother for days on end didn't help...not to mention the awful Ethan story.

I'm sad for OLTL. There was some good stuff last week. The anticlimax of KAD probably didn't help keep viewers around. I hope they will tune in this week as the show has been very good.

[Mary Beth]

But the reruns don't count toward the ratings, I thought.

ABC soaps are down .2 and .3 in HH over last year, similar amounts in demos, and hundreds of thousands of viewers. IMO, ABC should rethink why Brian Frons still has a job.

[KSlater]

Thank you, Toups.

[Soapsuds]

They're not delayed....will post them in 5 seconds.

Yeah, you're eating your supper.

Hmmm...Ed Fry returns as Larry..and ratings go up...nice to see ATWT go up when a former vet returns.

[Angela]

Those are the suckage for ABC, at least there's no way to go from there but up, err...maybe. I just envisioned all 3 ABC soaps hitting the big 2.3 million viewers next ratings release with that jinx statement, heh.

I gave up years ago, when I first began to notice the butchery of this show
over the last few its been mind-boggling just absolutely horrid
the Luke dissing his relationship with Laura
and embracing a kid he wants to be his son while he ingores the one he has
probably didn't help
But I've read their ratings have "stablilized" from some posters so
I guess the 2.0 is the stabilizer...

RE: GH Re-Run strategy

I thought they re-thought it when they aired Kate shot at the alter re-run on a holiday but it didn't stop them re-airing Michaels shooting
I firmly believe they don't care. A family holiday they show a kid getting shot in the head..on Memorial Day when some fans have lost
loved ones ... not very smart.

[SteveFrame]

I was thinking that the soaps did pretty good last year on Memorial Day week, but I looked it up and they didn't do that great but not that bad either. Some of them actually made some substantial gains that week in viewers.

[SteveFrame]

Why did DAYS monday episode not count but CBS did?

The network or show usually decides taht. For some reason NBC or Sony or Tomlin or Corday decided not to make Days count. They possibly felt that it would hurt their overall weekly rating and chose to count it as a special. Lately holiday ratings have been low and most of them choose to count it as a special.

[rhinohide]

I have mixed reactions to the OLTL ratings (it's the only soap I watch anymore or care about). I'm clinging by a thread to continue watching this show, and I honestly don't know why. Part of me is satisfied that the ratings reflect my own malaise and disconnect with the show while another part is saddened that the road to ruin is paved by more bricks labeled GIGI, REX, STACY, JOHN, MARTY, MESS (referring specifically to Jessica's alters, not Jessica), STARR.

I feel the same way. I'm barely hanging on with the hope that things will turn around come Fall, but these pathetic ratings don't bother me. It's obvious many of us are becoming disenchanted with the show. But I'm still giving the show a chance to turn itself around. I know it won't be overnight.

My dilemma is . . . should I just tune out for now and stay engaged on the boards in case it gets more interesting? Or . . . should I just quit? That's where I am. I'm not watching this. Well I will, but I'll hate it.
