I'm no expert on the ratings...but I believe that the numbers are rounded up when they are tabulated, they may be a little off because of it.

I hope that makes sense and that I have explained it correctly. It doesn't take much to confuse me though. :P

If I thought this meant the imminent demise of the Brian Frons regime, I'd be salivating over ABC's bad ratings. But no, it's going to get a lot worse before the Mouse intervenes. And I fear the show that's shown the most effort to improve will be the first casualty.

But the fires didn't start until the weekend of the start of this week did they? If so, then it wouldn't affect the ratings until next week.

I know the only thing OLTL-wise that was pre-empted this week for the fire coverage was the previews and closing credits, which were replaced with an extended ABC News Brief a couple of days.

I'm curious about something...now keep in mind that I watch OLTL, but I wonder if ATWT is at #3 because it is getting better or because several of the soaps above it have dropped. Again, I have no idea, but it's just something I have been thinking about.

OLTL deserves higher ratings that what it is getting right now. It is so much better then it has been in a long time.

But at least there is one ray of hope in this....at least it's not just OLTL that has been going down in the ratings, but instead afftecting all three ABC soaps. Also, it is still ahead of AMC. Now I just keep waiting for the day it passes GH and stays there for awhile.

I think it's a combination because it has risen, but the others have also fallen. E.g., here, AMC and GH aren't in competition w/ ATWT, but they've been falling, so the viewers didn't shift to ATWT, they just shifted away from AMC and GH.

    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of 
    • FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM FEBRUARY 1973 & MAY 1973:

        FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM AUGUST 1973 & NOVEMBER 1973:
    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975. 
    • No. Ed and Holly were married and having problems. She had an affair with Roger and that's when Christina--Blake--was conceived. The rape happened much later, after Holly and Roger were married.
    • Was Blake the product of Roger raping Holly, or did that come after when they were a couple?
    • I really wish we could see that episode...absolutely, my memory could be faulty, it was a very long time ago. I'm not going to contradict what the actors said--there has to be a reason it made them so uncomfortable that they talked about it in the press and complained to TPTB. I think that was the first one where they made the point that they wanted to educate the audience about the subject.
