Robin Strasser is the only one in the article who truly gets it. Maybe Logan to a degree. It all starts with the writing and respecting your audience. You can make soaps available in a million other formats, but if they are garbage, no one will care.

I think it's 30 million for the episode and 16 million for the week.

I think it's 30 million for the episode and 16 million for the week.

I think for the week of November 16-20, 1981, GH was #1 in the Household Rating with 16.0 rating. AMC & OLTL each received a 10.2 HH rating. 11/16 & 11/17 episodes of GH got 30 million viewers as Luke & Laura tied the knot.
