Hmm...the holidays always tend to play a role with shopping and all so maybe that played a role for CBS. Actually, the numbers for everyone looked pretty bad at the end of the week but Days, who actually gained on Friday which is a good sign for them. I still think Days had to backtrack sometime and I am just glad it's minimal.

I feel horrible for B&B and OLTL.

you do realize the writers are on strike right? has it ever occurred to you that GH along with other soaps has scabs writing for the show? and yes GH is special because it has the mob aspect. and the shootem ups. the shootouts...do you see any other soap that does that? NOPE..that's why it's special.

i Agree. Claire Labine was the greatest HW in soap history. but things change..soaps have to move on to bigger and better things..the mob. even though some people hate the violence that it brings to there gene..it's the only aspect that will bring in veiwers in the long run..it's the only thing that will keep GH alive and kicking.

Has it ever occurred to you to LOOK AT THE GH CREDITS? Guza's outlines are still running on GH and GH wasn't affected by the strike until late last week. These are still his ideas and stories that are running on the show....

How old are you, 12? Maybe that's why it's special to you, but not to me. Did you watch GH when the mob aspect wasn't so dominant and there wasn't a predictable mob war ever 3 months?

Wow! Now this thread got interesting! Shout outs to Ryan & shawnPerez for all the bellylaughs.

I can't comment about GH because I don't watch it. Never have really. The only soap keeping me watching these days is.....well, Days. Here's hoping they soon turn a ratings corner.

bitch don't disrespect me. I'm a 21 grown ass man..i been watching GH since the heydays of Brenda/Sonny..and stone dying of aids. i watched the mob grow on GH from the very beginning..that's why i love it so much...and did you just say..'The Mob Wars" on GH is predicable? let me explain something to you about predictability..first of All...without spoilers. you wouldn't know a damn thing. second of All...so you're saying it's predicable to know the outcome of Sason winning? that's not what i call predicable..anyone can make a simple guess like that. of course they'll win..it's the drama/action to know what will happen next..the fallout of the mob war. and how it effects the people around them. being predicable is knowing something that you think will happen..but never do..for Example. i can say. Liason will get together and split up after a few months..am i a psychic? or is it common sense to know that this is a soap opera. and couples don't last forever..same can be said for the mob. of course Sonny/Jason wont lose. there contract players..like i said. it's the Action and shootouts that i enjoy.

You mean casting and directing, right? :rolleyes:

Any character not related to the mob plots is marginalized or turned into a total fool, like Robin, Luke, you get the picture. Wasn't GH better when it was called The Sopranos?

Are you really citing AMC as an example of a show that isn't so bad despite its low ratings? :o

Ok, shawn Perez, language like that will not be tolerated at SON nor will disrespecting other posters.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and that needs to be respected. Debates can become heated and that is understood but there is no need to use language like that.

Now, let's stay on topic and be respectful. :)

Consider yourself reported to the mods. :)

Um, maybe because it's always the same story over and over again, just with new actors? A new mob boss of family comes to Port Charles and moves in on Sonny's "territory" and they do battle and Jason and Sonny always win in the end. It's not rocket science, you know. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

What fallout? After every mob war, Sonny and Jason move on like nothing's happened and as if they've done nothing wrong....

And like I keep saying, that's YOUR (not you're) opinion, the rest of us have the right to disagree.

Thanks Lskreet for the ratings. :) I am glad to see Tuesday's show the highest. It featured the Hughes(Tom, Kim, Bob and Chris). I am a bit disappointed in the drop. But it was expected. ATWT had been going up the last 3 weeks. I knew it would be hard to maintain the 2.4.

So the ratings remained the same the day Kaiden had sex and dropped when Zach & Greenlee were rescued. :D

AMC

Monday 2.0

Tuesday 2.0

Wednesday 2.0

Thursday 1.9

Friday 2.0

Hopefully this will mean the end of Zzzzendull!

I think 2.4 is above average and pretty good these days. ATWT is doing well, and I never watch it so my hat is off to that show. Soaps have reached the point now where it's the same viewers just switching channels.

Back onto DOOL. I really believe the show is good now. It seems to be using the entire cast and people who you expect to have conversations and be together in scenes are having conversations and being shown together in scenes. I know that I will see people I enjoy every week and probably a couple of days. I think Tom Scott has made a big difference on that show.

    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
    • Its realistic for Dani and  true of how the character thinks and operates. We've known her long enough to by that this would be consistent with her past characterizatioin
    • Random takes: - What was even the point of that jeweler guy? Also—Dani was borderline harassing him. - I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I want Jacob and Kat to happen. I need something messy to completely dismantle the Duprees—and Katomas just isn’t cutting it.  - I officially can’t stand Jacob and his wife. Same goes for Anita and Vernon. - Hayley’s corset was just as ugly as it looked uncomfortable. - I genuinely don’t remember when or how Derek and Ashley reconciled—and I’m someone who didn’t even mind their storyline! LMAO. - Tuesday’s episode was a mess. - Dani finding out about Hayley’s pregnancy and immediately thinking, “She’s faking it”—huh?! What writer thought that was a realistic reaction? I get denial, but that leap was absurd. I agree the ‘Leslie Victorious’ moment was way OTT. But hey, at least I wasn’t yawning. The following episode, where she handed over her daughter’s last few belongings was much better. - I can’t with the constant back-and-forth between Orphey Gene’s and the Country Club. I forgot this was such a soap trope, but even back in my loyal viewer days (late ‘90s, early 2000s), it wasn’t this bad. While GH has a ton of beautiful sets, we’re stuck with the same three—and half of them are ugly. Also: it’s been way too long since we had a party, gala, or any kind of event. I know the Richardsons’ anniversary gala (back in late April) has had a big ripple effect, but I was kinda getting used to those large-scale episodes. Fingers crossed they don’t go with Guza.  
    • The horrific comments execs and writers make when they justify rape storylines or keeping rapists as love interests is just so icky. I remember Ron Carlivati's comments about the reraping of Marty storyline on OLTL. Made my skin crawl.  No matter what you think of her, Susan Lucci could have demanded front burner storylines but she never did. She was happy to be part of an ensemble. I never got that vibe from Zimmer.  For me, Reva was just not a character I cared that much about after a certain point no matter how talented Zimmer is/was. I think Zimmer had a keener eye for what made a good storyline, but she was less willing to take a backseat if it meant someone else got to shine. I'm trying to recall if she ever mentions Michelle Forbes in her book--one of the few times the viewers did not care about Reva in a storyline. My sense is if she did, it was probably some backhanded remark about how she had to show Forbes the ropes.    
    • GH was good? I havent watched since Joss went away to do her traininig and Lulu had just called Brooklyn out for having Dante's baby and not telling him
    • BTG: A-  DAYS: B+  Eastenders: C
    • There was a rumor that Jean will die and that’s probably why she’s back then
    • 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.
