Giddens is back already??? Damn. He’s right up Ron’s behind. Bad news. I’ve been saying all along that Janet should not have been named Co-ep. She was there the whole time that the crap was going on and did nothing to help the situation. You know that people went to her because she was next in line from the fired guy.

Christopher Schemering’s book had many many errors in it, related to AW. Just because it’s in a book doesn’t make it true. Research.

Totally disagree. GL had many great years beyond 1993.

Unfortunately, people think that just because it's in a book it must be true. Harding Lemay's book is just his opinion. Harding's book is filled with wrong information and his ego. Same with Schemering's book. Yet people quote these books as fact. Research before you post.

Ok Mitch. I challenge you. Who was the headwriter job offered to during that time and who declined the offer? JLH had nothing better to do so of course she accepted. What has she done since GL? At least Kreizman is still writing at Days.

Hiring Ellen Wheeler as EP was the end of GL. She was inept to say the least. Pairing her up with the god awful Jill Lorie Hurst and Kreizman was trouble from the beginning. A recipe for cancellation.

Vincent was totally talking about Greg Beecroft. Sexy as hell, but he had a jealous streak and was not easy to work with. Greg's reputation followed him at ATWT and GH.

Good for ATWT for being #2 for so many weeks in a row. AMC's drop is surprising. Y&R is SO far ahead of every other soap. Y&R was on fire!

Yup. Lujack lived in the Reardon boarding house. And they had physical scenes. Anyone who could survive Ellen Wheeler and her stupid idea of Peapack deserves a medal!!

Sally Sussman was a disaster as a soap writer. Her Generations failed big time and her other headwriting stints lowered the ratings (Days, Y&R). Sally should just go away and stop talking about soaps. She failed in the soap world.

Actually, Colleen Zenk didn’t bring in the ratings. Per Toups post of the day to day ratings, Colleen’s first show was the lowest rated of the week in the demos.

Alan Locher had Vincent Irizarry on The Locher Room earlier this week. Vincent spoke of an actor he had difficulty with early on. Greg Beecroft comes to mind.

It seems so obvious that Eric is going to live.

I disagree. I’ve seen her scenes and all I see is fat butt. I don’t see top heavy at all. The costume designer does her no favors.

Kristen has a huge butt. It can’t be hidden, even when she wears the slimming black. The costume designer, Shawn Reeves does not dress her well. Her big butt always seems to be on display.

OLTL was really tanking. No wonder they got rid of Rauch and brought in Gottlieb.

There was only one thing wrong with Generations: Sally Sussman!!!! That woman could never write a soap. She failed every single time as a headwriter. She is/was a disaster!! Keep her away from soaps please.

Dimitri’s hair - just NO! Albert Alaar should have sent him back into hair & makeup when he showed up looking like that.

Did Eve ever mention a sister? Dumb storyline and not a fan of Colleen Zenk. She can go away already. She desperately wants a Guest Emmy but she won’t get one for this campy over the top role.

Good for Greg Rikaart for getting an opening credit for a 1 day appearance. Loved the Baldwin scenes.

The information that I have shows GL airing the first half of GL on 1/21 and then re-airing that same episode the next day on 1/22. As you stated, there were preemptions on both days so between those 2 days, they aired the 1/21 episode.

Agree 100%.

Thanks again Jason. I know you’re just reporting the numbers and can’t explain them, especially the demos, which are confusing. You’re the best.

So much misinformation is posted on here as fact.

@JAS0N47 Thanks for the demos. I know you’re just posting the books but some numbers don’t make sense and I’m curious how you interpret them. Again, you just post the Nielsen numbers. In May, 1982, I do not believe for a second that Texas was beating GH in the women demos. GH had 3X the audience of Texas. These numbers need some explanation.
