[Chanel]

Last Week was good for GH. From the wedding to the train crash, it was good!

[Toups]

The last time Y&R was not #1 in demos was April 25-29, 2005 (26 weeks). Congrats to GH for breaking the streak.

[Ryan]

GH should have hyped Lucky and Liz's wedding more. Oh well, hopefully they'll improve for this week. This week has been awesome.

[Soapsuds]

Yes, glad to see ATWT at #3 in Total Viewers and also #3 in HH with a 10 share.

I am happy GL is back at #8 in Total Viewers. I dont see the big buzz(hype) about GL right now. I still see the show as pure sh#@...crap!

[AllAboutAngst]

I KNEW this would happen. I said it dammit, I bet GH wins sweeps, and they've already broken Y&R's demo streak.

[FanSoAp07]

PSNS & Days held on. Good job! Congrats to GH!

[Chanel]

Thanks Toups.

Well, I am glad that Days gained in total viewers!

Congrats to GH, IMO its great right now!!

[SuperFlyChad]

Meh, the streak was going to be broken sooner or later....Congrats Y&R for staying neutral.

[SIPort]

Sad to see GH go up in ANYTHING.

Sad about Passions but the show sucks and they should be losing people.

[Adam]

Well at least AMC got an increase but its gonna have to up alot higher for this current sweeps to be a success. The fire and Ryass coming to the rescue though I doubt will make the ratings skyrocket sigh. Yikes they are in 6th in total viewers for demos. That is scary compared to last year they were usually nothing lower than 2 or 3.
