It's interesting that the new way Nielsen is calculated, BTG seems to be up in total viewers but down in the demos.

Such a waste of a talented actor who easily fit right in and had great chemistry with a lot of the other characters. Not to mention...handsome. But, hey, I'm sure we'll get lots more Kristen, Leo, etc etc. :(

I started watching OLTL in 92 because of the Billy Douglas storyline which was very impactful to me at the time. I loved Michael Malone's first stint on the show. The second one was very so-so. Besides Agnes Nixon and maybe Malone, who do you believe were the best head writers for the show during its run?

I recently streamed the whole show and hadn't seen it since being a kid in the 80s. The stark change in tone in season 8 was jarring. The show became sooooo slow and boring. I found some of season 9 entertaining, especially the first 13 episodes, but it was like a whole different show by then.

Wild guess...they have a surprise child together.

But, I'm sure they'll write endless more episodes of Kristen, Leo, etc...

WTH???? The actor was the best addition to the show in YEARS. He had chemistry with everyone, handsome, fit in so well with the Hortons. I don't understand why this show cannot write for the Hortons. Since the new writing regime, there are some good "scenes" but not good "stories" if that makes sense. I had renewed Peacock because I wanted to see the anniversary and Xmas episodes, but I think I'm canceling again.

I thought she was fascinating as Patty the first time, and the show made the mistake of taking her too far and writing the character into a corner. I had wished they had stopped short of that and found a way to keep her. That being said, I don't trust this show to do anything right these days.

Yay for BTG! I hope it continues! Glad GH is still doing well, too.

I just don't understand why Noah can't have a love interest close to his own age. This show seems to do everything to avoid the "young" in the "Young and the Restless."

OMG....I thought the same thing. He looked soooo good in those long johns, and I agree, I like the thicker version. :)

Exactly! This would be great!

I've been saying this for a while now. It's the one thing about the show that has sort of bugged me. We've had zero star-crossed lovers that are trying to get together but are kept apart for various reasons...a soap staple.

Compared to the other soaps, GH has been ON FIRE lately! I'm glad to see their numbers improving.

That's awesome news!
