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.

    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.  
    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 Loved her. I've never seen her Doctors work. 
    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 I just loved Valerie on my early '90s TV shows. This one gets me. 
    • I assume they did at some point during the finale...
