McTavish is at AMC for the long haul and sadly I don't see how the show will maintain any sort of momentum after the SS story is over.

Dena gets a co-headwriter, Megan stays put, Guza isn't going anywhere. Looks like Alden & Smith really were just for show.

I am glad GL didn't drop. And there day to day numbers are really good, does anyone remember what happened on thursday that would have made them get the 2.1 since that was the lowest number.

Wuh to the ow. Wow. DAYS' ratings are soooo depressing for me right now. The saddest thing is that it is so obvious why it is happening and why ALL the stories aren't working when watching. It's better, but still terribly blah.

I am just confused about all those dorm ratings.. where are they? I mean, the article says that DAYS, PASS, GH and GL gained.. where? Last week most soaps even failed in that demo group.. This week, DAYS fell.. don't understand..

The Days numbers suck....but the show isn't very sweeps worthy right now...while GH and AMC really kicked things into high gear...But the angry fans can't blame this on nick and chelsea, they were only on monday of last week...

The article mentioned only the demos. So their numbers might increase there. But if non-student demo audience decreased last week the effect could be abymal or non-existent. Although I think GH gained through this - and their huge time-shift numbers - overall viewers...

Yeah Days was the only one to fall, but I think ATWT should be at 2.5 instead of the 2.6 listed which doesn't give them but a .1 rise. The dailys are listed as the same as Days so they are probably both at 2.5

Those daily readings are rounded before they are released to the public...and the pre-rounded numbers are the ones they use to average out the totals for the week. Hope that makes sense.

The ratings for DAYS says it all when DAYS finishes 2nd in the 18-34 demo.

Damn it, I was hoping to see OLTL rise last week.

:SIGH: Latham will NEVER be gone

At the very least, can somebody atleast take away the EP power.

The GH stunt is paying off quite well

Agreed on all counts. I think the college thing is helping GH out immensely. With those numbers, Latham's not going anywhere. The best we can hope for is she brings back the momentum she had going when she first came on board.

WOW - GH is pulling in impressive numbers - and they definitely deserve it! I'm really enjoying their sweeps story. I just hope that after the hostage thing is over, it'll still be exciting and not lose all their viewers! B&B is lucky - I thought for sure GH would take them over this week. I don't watch B&B, but I guess they are doing something right too for sweeps.

AMC - well, it was good last week - I can't deny that - but having the ratings rise and get AMC to #4 all alone on the week after Dixie is dead...well that just shows the execs that people are ok with Dixie being dead

Should be interesting to see how the ratings are for Babe's death and the following Babe-less weeks.

I'm really glad for GH and have mixed feelings about AMC's rise. I don't think AMC is producing good drama. What they're producing is a train wreck that people can't seem to take their eyes off of. At times, admittedly, I'm one of those people.

Damn it, I was hoping to see OLTL rise last week.

I kinda was too. I know I gave OLTL a harsh criticism not long ago, but I've been checking it out here & there last & this week and it's actually turning a corner. I can actually watch a whole episode and be entertained. That says something. Honestly, though, I hope they get their bump for this week because everything I've seen so far has been great! Plus, HBS has big stuff coming!

It makes no sense for Days. The week before is when the balance sucked and all the characters people didn't want to see were on and the show went up. Last week, there was a bit more balance and more happened and it goes down. I have no idea how to explain the ratings. I was expecting it to say the same. People can't blame this on the young characters that's for sure.

Days never goes out for sweeps and really not many shows have. Only GH is amping it up. AMC wasn't really that good last week. People bought into the Babe stuff and once that wears off they will drop. OLTL deserves the numbers. They are better.

B&B- I have no clue why they rose. I wasn't expecting a rise from them until ED showed up. GH was painfully boring last week but I knew it would go up. It won't drop until this thing is over and how much will depend on how good it is with the fallout.

Hopefully, Days goes up for this week with Bope and Lumi's proposal. It seems to go up in the weeks where not much happens for some reason, unlike last week where things actually happened and people tuned out. We'll see. I'm not letting it get me down because what is coming up should bring in numbers.

I don't think Bope being on for two days without any REAL story (but being supporting to Chelsea's story) is going to help ratings. But I hope that maybe Chick have gotten fans out there and with their story reaching climax this week, that it might get the up. Also, the Lumi proposal...

The DAYS ratings do not suck. The other shows pulled up while DAYS fell one tenth of a point. If OLTL and AMC hadn't pulled up, DAYS would still be in the spot they were in. I look at this as a challenge for DAYS to step it up. They've held consistently at a 2.5-2.6 for a few months now.

The college viewers are TOTALLY giving a big bump in ratings for the soaps. Now if only they'd let the Nielson be optional (as in anyone could join) our soap ratings would go up even more.

Oh I know that Scotty. The problem has been fixed now. Lskreet had a typo in there. That is where the questioning was coming from - not that the totals were wrong this time.

Both were shown as tied but Days was listed as 2.5 and ATWT at 2.6 - we were trying to figure out which was right. I was assuming that it was a 2.5 for both because even with rounding up I didn't see how either one could have a 2.6 with a 2.4 thrown in there.

Last week is when that article was referring too. Days got a .3 bump in the 18 to 34 last week.

This week it was GH who got the bump and took over the #1 spot in that demo while Days fell.

So the article was clearly talking about last weeks ratings - not this weeks.
