The final week for GL . It feels weird that we'll see only 7 soaps ratings every week.

Quiet day in here. I hope GL's ratings beat all ABC shows.

[Lucid]

GL deserves a nice bump up for their final week, I hope it happens.

[soapfan71]

Let's have a contest!! What will GL's weekly rating average be and what is the rating going to be for the last show?

I am going to say a 1.8 for the final week, and a 1.9 for the final eppy.

I remember when AW went off the week before it was a 2.2 and the final week was a 2.7, but I am making my guess based on today's climate.

Let the games begin!!!

The last week got a lot of press and TV coverage including that wonderful segment and tribute on 60 minutes. Hoping that translates to ratings.

[CarlD2]

They might get a .1 bump.

I hope Y&R doesn't go up, as that will give them even more of a green light for more torture porn and shock value death.

[aMLCproduction]

R the numbers coming out today?

[RalphOrtiz]

I read in a newsline that the viewer total for GL's last episode was around 2,600,000.

Don't know if this is true or not, but it would be a nice increase for their farewell.

Agreed, they don't deserve any type of validation for crappy and damaging storytelling. You know if there's a significant bump, it will lead to more crap like this in the future.

Thanks Errol

[Noel]

Thank you! So sad that it had to take a cancellation in order to climb up. It's going to be so strange to see only 7 soaps airing now.
