you know what i find funny about these ratings?.. looks at the women Domos..then look at the men's? for us men were gaining veiwers...but the women obviously don't want any part of the MOB WAR that's about to come up...nothing is wrong with GH's writing if you ask me.. many women are the main problems why GH is at 2.3...All they do is whine and complain about how GH is the mob hour..well I'm sorry to tell you ladies.."DEAL WITH IT". GH was always about the mob since the 80's..and it's gonna continue to be about the mob. even with a new writer in charge..the show will still have the mob aspect. :D

Lol...I agree with you on that.

Plus since when did Mob become unpopular...I mean I think its safe to say that a lot of people enjoyed mob films like The Godfather, Goodfellas, etc...GH is just that on a daily basis (sometimes) mixed in with the regular elements of a soap opera. I love the show for that and I"ll continue to watch it cuz its capable of making me experience a WIDE range or emotions rather than boredom...

I wonder what Frons thinks of the "nursing home" network CBS now?!?!?!? :lol: Almost every show is up in viewers for this year. Probably all the viewers that Frons drove away with his stupidity! :D You would think that his job would be at risk for making such poor decisions but he gets promoted instead. Maybe he will learn that you can't treat viewers like they don't have any brains. And, maybe, just maybe, he should respect actors over the age of 35.

Explain to me how Frons can still have a job with ratings like these? Yes the writers and producers he's hired are crap (well, apparently OLTL's writer is good), but ultimately he's accountable for all of the ABC woes, and he should be relieved of his duties. AMC getting a 1.8...on a Friday? Sad, sad, sad.

Well I think thats "dealing with it" in the appropriate matter...simply click the remote and wallah...GH is gone from your site. However it doesn't really matter in this day and age. The ratings for all soaps have been going down steadily. Viewers of ALL soaps continue to complain about the writing or w/e they fancy at the current moment.

Because maybe the ratings are better than half of the soaps that are currently on the air? Why should Frons or ABC be worried? They can basically do no right according to some viewers. So I guess all thats left for them to care about is the money and relatively good ratings/status. GH continues to be in the Top Tier of soaps among viewers and ratings and as long as that continues to be the case Frons probably isn't going anywhere.

Same can be said for probably all the soaps right?

I just don't understand why we single out specific soaps every week..when the general trend seems to be the same exact thing for every soap. Granted Days is on the rebound but ofr months is what the constant this and that. And then months before that it was Y&R does this and that wrong....months before that it was ATWT.

I guess I'm just tired of it all...if you're not happy with the show then thats your opinion and I respect it 100%. But the constant week to week doom and gloom doesn't really change things. But then again everyone has a right to voice their opinion whenever they want and I guess venting it is better than holding it in.

Have you seen Y&R and ATWT and GH and AMC? There is good reason to complain, lol. Should we just say nothing and let these hack writers keep their job? People are praising DAYS, B&B and OLTL (which are delivering) so that shows we do enjoy discussing good things on soaps. Problem is, there isn;t much good to discuss.

I don't understand why a soap fan should accept anything. If it were primetime this would be on cable news.

I watch 3 out of the four shows you mentioned and I happen to find some good things in all of them. They might not be perfect...no show (soap or not) is perfect. However I think the 3 I watch are decent shows day to day, week to week.

Like I said before you can say all you want. However at some point (if it were me) I'd get tired of complaining and not seeing any results. I'd probably get the clue that its not going to change anything and move on to a show I DO enjoy.

    • 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.
