I hope Days and OLTL goes up. I'm loving both shows!

Same here. I want GH to go up too. I actually dont want any shows to go down, because I am hoping we will layoff cancellations for a while.

[skiman12082004]

I am rooting for OLTL too. The show deserves so much better than what's reflected in the ratings. Now that I DVR all the soaps (AMC, B&B, DAYS, GH, OLTL and Y&R) I feel I can give a more accurate opinion. I didn't include ATWT because I haven't enjoyed that show in forever and it has officially been canceled so I didn't feel the need too.

[juniorz1]

Well you should because ATWT is far better than at a least 5, maybe 6 of those shows. I hadn't been really hooked in a while either but I'm addicted to ATWT right now. If you're not watching, I suggest you give it a shot this year, especially if you're watching all of the other shows anyway.

[brwnsugar33]

I hope that ATWT and Days and OLTL have gone up in the ratings.

[tgilbrea69]

I hope ATWT rises to #3, just to spite CBS and Proctor and Gamble! Does anyone know, will this be the week of Brad's goodbye? If so, I think there is a good chance they will go up.

Last week was when Brad said is final goodbye and that was one of the best episodes on ATWT. I hope that it was enough to push up the ratings for ATWT.

Me too. That was a very good episode. One of the best of 2009. I hope ATWT goes way up to 3rd or 4th place

If ATWT can get up to #4, the show might just have the chance of getting picked up elsewhere. I doubt this will happen and will settle for number 5 and 6th in demos

I agree it will prolly settle for number 5 or 6th again. I just hope i'm wrong and it beat AMC. AMC is ok now, but the writing is still on the wall. I read somewhere that Kelly Ripa said the same thing with AMC when she returned to work there.

I have high hopes for World Turns as well, but the Christmas week is odd . . . I think they only count three days . . . not sure.

I'm not sure either. They might count Christmas Eve but that won't be fair to the ABC soaps. They won't count Christmas day because only ATWT and DAYS were they only ones new and they never counted that day before. I just hope that if ATWT Christmas Eve show had the highest of the week then I hope they count it, but they prolly won't.

[Soapsuds]

I'm going to predict ATWT hits a 2.0 in HHs...just a hunch!

I don't really think other places (like Lifetime or whatever) are looking to see if it moves up in ranking during some of its final year or not to pick it up--surely they realize a couple thousand viewers isn't a big diff (I mean this with all good will--I HOPE it gets picked up somewhere, I just don';tthink these tiny changes in ratings means much to people not connected to the big three networks)

Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Day are Nielsen holidays. They weren't counted last year. Isn't it unusual for a soap to air an original episode on a traditional Nielsen holiday?

[SoapBoy94]

Jeeeeez with GH so low. This upsets me. OLTL shouldnt be at the bottom...It is soo good. And GH being under ATWT? Funny...but sad. I know the writing is craptastic lately at GH, but its not THAT bad. It was comfortable at number 4!

But, GH is still 2 in both women 18-49 demos, so that means its safe does it not?

[Soapsuds]

Toups, Friday's ATWT was a new episode and not a repeat.

Ouch for OLTL... 1.7?? And AMC continues with a 2.0.....this show sucks......lol. GH continues to fall....AMC still the #1 soap on ABC which isnt saying much considering it awful writing.
