I wonder why ATWT got a HUGE bump on Friday.

Not enough super delegates at ABC?

P.S. I love your avatar. Elizabeth Hubbard rocks!

Thanks fr the ratings! Wow. All soaps dropped except for DAYS. And here I was waking up early in the morning waiting for the ratings to be posted and then to see this happen is kind of depressing. Hopefully, things will be better next week.

Oh I can't wait for the ratings spin. I can hear it now "This is all Ric Hearst's fault." Or "This is why Liason needs to be front and center". Yeah, blah blah, heard it all before (this is in reference to another board, not anyone here at SON, lol).

If it's any consolation, I think the last week of GH will kick ass. Lots of good stuff going on.

I'm not surprised the Bell soaps fell, due to their huge increase the week before. However I believe with more of what they've been giving us, they will recapture those viewers in the long term.

What else can I say about ABC. Their network isn't doing good because of the quality of writing. AMC isn't good (Darnell Williams and Debbie Morgan are the only thing saving it for me), OLTL is good IMO, but suffers because of it's lead in. There needs to be changes from top to bottom. I truly believe that is the only way for ABC and it's shows to improve.

I'm not defending AMC, but I find the lead-in theory weak. If OLTL is so good, it would attract viewers on its own.... despite the show that airs before it.

How is OLTL suffering because of it's lead in when the lead in has a higher rating?

Thanks. As for Christian Bale, get in line.

I don't blame Ric, but I do blame (in part) whomever decided to put that coma inducing story front and center during sweeps. The audience doesn't know Marianne. Why would they care to see her in a love story without a proper introduction to the canvas first? I have a very high tolerance for newbies and yet this story is just so boring to me because they decided to bludgeon me with it. I certainly won't claim that R&M is the only problem or even the biggest problem, but it surely isn't helping.

I see your point.

i Agree. GH totally kickass last week. especially the mob meeting with Sonny/Claudia. and All the day players. hopefully this week will improve the ratings. Claudia and Luke scenes were fantastic yesterday.
