I am surprised that AMC and GH didn't get more of a bump. The much ballyhooed returns of Angie and Jessie, and Sarah Joy Brown, and earlier the "real" Greenlee have had almost no impact in spite of all the money poured into promotion. I would say that doesn't bode well for more returns. Cady, Robin, Andrea . . .

I'm NOT surprised AMC fell, the first full week of sweeps and it drops *snickers* I love it, you reap what you sew hack writers.

They seem to be banking on Debbi & Darnell saving this show, and while it looks like Tad & Jesse coming face to face Tuesday got a bit of a ratings bump that day, most people tuned right back out the next day and ratings continued to drop the rest of the week

And Friday what can I say, looks like people aren't interested in couple switching or Ryan's amensia *snickers again*

I agree ;)

Maybe because it doesn't have the cushion of big returns without substance, but if AMC and GH didn't have those things they'd be in the same place. It's a one point difference. OLTL hasn't "stood on its own" in years.

so your saying that because ratings fall that automatically signals something is wrong with the writing?the only ABC soap i see that is suffering is AMC. OLTL/GH have been awesome lately. the writing. the balance. everything has been great. there has been so many positive feedback with the new writing team then any other soap. that's a fact. if soaps depended on a scale. i can tell you right now. GH would be right on top of there. but IMO ratings only mean who's watching live and who's not..and just for the record..soapnet are not counted for in these ratings..so how do we know for sure that those people who tuned out are now watching GH on soapnet? or any of the ABC soaps for the matter.

Sofie was arrested for kidnapping Hallie. Carly was about to be raped by Sam when someone shot him in the back. It was a great cliffhanger. I am disappointed ATWT didnt go up for the week. I thought it was a good week. It looks like Carly and Co. brought in the ratings and not Evan being Dusty's killer. Although the Lucinda/Evan confrontation did get a boost on Wednesday.

It looks like the REAL Greenlee isnt paying off. :lol:

I still say OLTL is bad. It has way too many newbies. That is why the show isnt doing well. It has nothing to do with the other shows on ABC.

Well, Sarah Brown's return is a bust!! She should have returned as Carly. Not as a different character.

    • 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.
