I want Y&R to fall, but somehow I doubt it will.

Hell, the entire CBS lineup, barring B&B, deserves to fall.

Fall Y&R fall.

The ABC soaps are doing well with their writing these days (AMC still lags behind the others), while CBS' soaps are horrible! If you are a DAYS fan, you should be happy.

Even with improvements, the damage has already been done after several years of mismanaging the soaps. IOW, we won't see major improvements in the overall ratings any time soon.

I hope for B&B overtaking Y&R!

In reality it will probably go down whereas the worst excuse of a daytime drama will hold steady or go up. Ratings rarely reflect quality or rather the other-way-round... Sigh!

I certainly do not wish GL would fall because it is not just the wedding and mayoral race so I wholeheartedly disagree with you, so you missing out the "other" well balanced storylines that uses almost the entire cast almost everyday. If you recall last year the show was dominated with the Tammy/Jonathan/Lizzie/Reva storyline which left the entire cast in the back burner. I do love Tammy and Jonathan but to expend the entire cast to the back burner, I don't think so. GL (IMHO) should be going nowhere but up.

Here are some "other" storylines that showcasing 2-3 days a week:

1) Ashlee/Coop/Ava

2) Olivia/Jeffrey/Reva

3) Billy & Lizzie

4) Alex/Cyrus/Marina

5) Lillian & Buzz

6) The secret of Jonathan and Sarah

7) Alan/Beth/Rick

8) Paternity storyline of Beth's baby

9) Cyrus's secret past

10) Dinah & Mallet

11) Dinah's amnesia

12) Matt & Vanessa's troubled marriage

13) Doris & Buzz running for mayor

14) Harley & Gus's troubled marriage

15) Dylan/Harley/Gus/Natalia

16) Lola & Remy

17) Rafe & Daisy

18) Gus & Natalia's one night affair

19) Billy's drinking problem

20) Josh's journey on the Holy trail

21) Cassie & Josh

22) Secret about Cassie switching paternity result on Alan and Rick involving Reva and Josh

23) Secret about Alan drugging Harley to break her marriage with Gus

24) Gus's newfound son Rafe

25) Lizzie's depression of presumed death of Sarah

26) Return of Bill Lewis & Edmund this fall (cannot wait)

so on and so on and so on.......

I am loving GL these days. Simple as that.

Many of these stories suck too so I am hoping GL ratings fell last week

Jay has left the building.

Well, that's sad for Days. Thought for sure it would have risen. Thanks, lskreet!

Woohoo! Go GH! Keep on pimping your current stories, leaving out the veterans and alienating the GHFF. They're putting on 2.4 material and when you put on 2.4 material, that's what you get from the ratings. Keep on with the character destruction and pissing off your viewers.

Might they hit a 2.2 next week?

DAYS deserves the ratings it got last week. The show wasn't good at all and this week will be more of the same.

Oh wow, the 2 special episodes did nothing. Sorry, OLTL fans.

Thanks for the ratings, Lskreet.

I can't believe that! At least for OLTL, the show has improved.

DAYS deserves the ratings it got last week. The show wasn't good at all and this week will be more of the same.

Yup, it's going to be a 1.9 or 1.8 next week for DAYS.

No Days fell off [!@#$%^&*] when the rating will go up to Days

Oh, ouch! Both the soaps I was pulling for went down.

I am happy for GL, though. I barely watch it, but I'm really hoping it doesn't get canceled (it's never a good sign when a soap does), so props to them for moving up.
