If this doesn't indicate that GH doesn't need a creative overhaul, I don't know what does. Usually they build before sweeps month, they haven't been able to do that this time.

Barring OLTL, all of ABCD is a [!@#$%^&*] mess! AMC is the worst piece of trash disguising itself as a soap, and GH's saving grace is its actors.

I sure hope all the soaps see a creative overhaul soon, before things get even worse.

Good for DAYS...it took Drake Hogestyn's firing to do it, but the show went up. That being said I think this rise is very contingent on TPTB not focusing too much on Sami, EJ, Chelsea, Stephanie etc.....basically anyone who has dominated this last year.

Dierdre Hall, Thaao Penghilis, Leann Hunley, Lauren Koslow, Peter Reckell, Kristian Alfonso = the people who need to be on!

I hope Y&R crashes and burns next week, Clear Springs has been a total disaster and the 'Out of the Ashes' episodes have been awful!

And may I just say GO KAY ALDEN! GO KAY ALDEN! B&B is back into 4 million viewing territory. If this can be sustained it means great things for B&B which has been fantastic with Kay at the helm.

Finally, ABC is getting exactly what it deserves. GH is HORRIBLE, AMC is UNWATCHABLE and OLTL is STAGNANT. Listen, Bob Iger and Anne Sweeney better get their asses in motion and FIRE FRONS. He's OVER y'all. He's DONE, he's a JOKE! And so are the ratings.

How is it a rewrite when we were NEVER given an actual explanation as to why Meg couldn't have kids?

LMAO ATWT beat GH *snickers* Frons is probably crapping his pants seeing that BWAH! I have a feeling B&E aren't long for the AMC world, given that the first thing they were told was to get ratings up and they've had more all time lows since they started than the show has had in a very long while.

Woohoo, Go AMC & GH, sink, sink, sink!!! :D

I hope this downward trend continues so Frons will get fired very soon. I haven't watched AMC in two weeks and the November sweeps stories don't look any better than the crap currently airing. It's time for JHC to go and take B&E with her so AMC can have an EP and headwriter who understand what used to make it so great.

Actually B&B didn't benefit from Flannery's return. Stephers showed up the same day as Viki did, Friday. Both shows dropped .1 that day. As little airtime as Viki got with virtually no promotion, she did pretty good. It was great seeing both of them back on screen. They've both been greatly missed! :)

To think they are worrying about renewal yet they are beating all the other soaps except for Y&R and B&B. :lol:

You give OLTL too much credit. I have seen it on Soapnet and it isnt all that. There are some good stuff on the show but some bad things as well. ;)

Glad to see ATWT held steady. It was more of a CarJack week. Nuke was only on Monday. Which btw was the lowest of the week. Carly and Jack's trip to Montana was the highest rated show for the week!

    • Of the so-called "contract" cast members, I'd venture to say these are recurring: Bryton James, Camryn Grimes, and (possibly) Michael Graziadei.  I've suspected since 2018 that Kate Linder and Christian LeBlanc are recurring.  And I believe we all know Miss Ordway is, because she said so. lol.  
    • Dante blaming Gio instead of his dweeb son and the other dweeb was just ridiculous. Gio's paternity story is going in circles with no reveal. I've already started fast forwarding Drew and his stupid ho Willow's story. Kristina's story is beyond dumb with no great payoff.
    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
