I'm not surprised that Y&R went up last week. I actually enjoyed the Out of the Ashes storyline.

And as bad as GL is some days, I think it would be higher than a few of the other soaps if it aired in all markets. I'm hoping that the returns of Edmund and Bill help to push it up even higher!

You're kidding right? AMC is just as bad if not worse than GL. AMC deserves where its at, because this show NEVER learns. It's gotten new head writers and things continue to get worse. The idiots in charge at AMC have no one to blame but themselves. Granted all soaps are in a bad condition, but I truly find current AMC to be the most boring program on television.

If you watched GL lately then you would know that your statement is not true. GL is in the worst shape of all the soaps in daytime and it will not be getting better anytime soon. The budget cuts, poor writing, destruction of history/characters and out of order sorasing. Everybody is living in a one room hotel and they go to a hospital that looks like a tiki hut.

Horrible AMC!!!

B&E need to go PRONTO!! I tried to give them a chance but what they are doing is freakin drowning the show! :angry:

Even McTavish never got AMC this low. At least she had some historical information on AMC. As much as I hated it but McT gave us wonderful years from 1990-1995.

B&E are just bringing their crap from PC to AMC.

Also we need more balance!

Zendell, Greenlee, Adian, JR, Ava, Jonthan, Ryan, Annie crap is BORING!!!!!! Get a move on!

Frons is just a peice of [!@#$%^&*]! I am sorry but he is!!!!!!! How could you bring one of your show down all the way to last place!!!!!!!!

I rather have McT over B&E at the rate they are going. At least McT gave us a good storyline fore a year rather then a month that B&E gave us.

AMC deserves these ratings...it has become the worst soap on television bar none. GL is practically Y&R (circa 1995) worthy in comparison to AMC. The show is a total and complete disaster. You can just see Frons' memos: "Sabine Sing is young...use her...F--k Susan Lucci, viewers don't like to watch that old hag!"

Well guess what ABC, Frons has not only taken AMC to its grave but he's taking OLTL and yes, precious, legendary, magical GH down too!

Good for ATWT, that show is clicking (I guess, since I don't really watch admittedly).

DAYS, well here's hoping John's death will continue to give the show the momentum it so desperately needs. They better give DH a big storyline and fast otherwise it'll be totally botched.

B&B, hey it was a slower week, but it was still excellent and the show is still the best soap on TV. The ratings will slowly come back.

Y&R...ugh...that stupid stunt worked. But for how long I wonder? It was horribly written, maybe it will still come to bite LML in the ass (and if it doesn't, hopefully those delightful Nielsen surveys will!).

JHC as EP has two soaps in last place: PC and AMC

B&E as HWs has 4 soaps in last place: LOV, The City, PC, AMC

Hey Frons, maybe now you regret not giving AMC to Kay Alden? Frons is such an idiot.

What up with the day to day ratings? Will they be posted? thanks.

As for the ratings,

AMC is horrible, GH is okay, OLTL is good right now I am surprised they went down. They need to end that baby storyline, other than that I think the s/l's are going in the right direction. I think all will be alright with OLTL when the sl's hit their climax.

Happy to see that Johns death helped DAYS ratings.

Don't watch the rest.

I think the reason why OLTL's ratings are going down is the Marcie story, the main focus of the show, is slow-paced and is getting a bit repetitive. She's right under the cops and FBI's noses but she always gets away. RC has good direction, I just think pacing may be the only thing he needs to work on, but it is getting better.

    • 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.
