Does anyone know if the .9 in the 18-34 demo for AMC ties a record low or is a new record low??

I agree that there is a lack of balance on AMC but the problem is that they have lost or fired most of their experienced actors or vets. They only have the newer characters left to write for so until that is fixed AMC will continue to struggle, IMHO. I don't see them bringing back any of the characters that they fired though. Maybe they should consider recasting and trying to have more diversity regarding age (especially women) and race.

With Frons and Carruthers still in charge, I don't think AMC will ever improve or change for the better.

I'm just wondering - especially given the recent ratings that has GL ranked higher than ATWT in the demo's - was there ever an official explanation released as far as why GL's budget was cut and ATWT's wasn't (cut as drastically as GL's)?

Both are filmed in New York - why was GL's budget cut so dramatically, and ATWT's wasn't?

Thanks Toups! :D I guess the .7 for ATWT in women 18-49 was wrong then. I am glad they didnt dip that low. And what do you know Luke and Noah's hot encounter on Thursday was its highest day of total viewers. :D Thursday's show was also higher than AMC, Days and GL ranking #5. Thursday's higher numbers also helped ATWT be #5 in total viewers for the week! :D Nuke Power!!! :lol::P

The initial number might've been wrong, but ATWT still ranked dead last in the key 18-49 demos, that's pathetic. Even GL, which suffers from an inconsistent time slot throughout the country, is doing much better in those demos. Damn P&G, they need to do something!

And damn, Y&R didn't fall into the 3.0's once last week. :(

Well, ATWT has a story with buzz but it's on twice a week so hard to retain any momentum. Even when the kidnapping story has been good one day, it's usually followed by a day of Meg and Craig and Aaron and Sofie having useless conversations.

They probably can't afford it but I wish ATWT would show more characters every day. Characters could be on several days a week but wouldn't have to dominate each episode. Now, whoever you see at the beginning is usually who the whole show is about. It's generally that predictable so if who you like isn't on, you might as well not watch.

Back in the Marland days, you got so many stories in a day. Even if someone wasn't in the first two segments, they might still have a big story that day. Of course back then I can't remember any stories seeming as boring and repetitive as some we have now.

    • Shut up, Dante and Lois.  I actually don't mind this particular soap trope, but in the context of this storyline, it just feels forced and unnecessary. If anything, this Dante/Gio tension needed to begin months ago. Plus, this storyline, in general, isn't doing Lois any favors either.  Emma comforting Gio was really sweet though. It's definitely time for the two of them to have their first kiss. And, Joss playing Secret Agent Barbie will just never work.
    • Note to makeup - Smitty’s eyebrows, bad clamshell look.

    • Okay I can buy that when Brook Lynn was a teen.  Now she knows the child is a boy one would think she'd be slightly suspicious.  Then again, Gio looks nothing like either of them so maybe not lol.
    • I've been behind & just got caught up & the last 3 days were amazing!
    • Yeah.  The hot, poor bad boy with a chip on his shoulder but with a heart of gold was a common soap trope in the 80s

    • That's been an issue with me... the lack of a cohesive 'Have Not' crowd that has focus other than Leslie/Eva.   I would beef up Jan, Mona, Laura, Joey, and few other male characters.. and not just be out to overthrow the Duprees.. but co-existing and broadening the scope of the show since the show is called Beyond the Gates. I think the set up the show has with everything revolving around the Duprees will become predictable especially if they always win.   It would be like Victor Newman on Y & R for 40+ years.. always winning, hardly ever losing.   With MVJ/Guza.. both trained under that mindset... I fear that will happen.   I've always heard from a performer that is playing a character like Leslie/Dana that you have to find the victim/hurt beneath the surface in order to play a villain/villainess... and I think that's why I enjoy watching her.. because she brings so much more to the part than what the writers put on the page.
    • I figure that was really hard for Dom to do. I completely GET why they wrote it the way they did but I wonder if it was necessary. Meanwhile I have 2 really icky ideas in my head. Drew is going to blame Tracy KNOWING it was not her. Dante is going to blame Lulu.  After that, everyone else is going to be mad at Lois.  Tracy is going to double down on wanting to get rid of Sonny. Sonny's going to be more dug in to stay because he now has a new descendant. 
    • I can actually buy Brook Lynn being so self-absorbed and incurious that she never thought to question why her mom and grandma were so attached to Gio. 
    • It was overkill and the whole narrative Lois was too nice to the orphan kid when he was little, WHAT? Like Emma said no one thinks Gio is a troublemaker that gets 14-year-old kids drunk for fun. That being said, Lulu figured this Gio thing out in episode, but Brook Lynn never once questioned Lois and Gloria's attachment to a child that was the same age as the baby she gave up?  Ever?
