My problem with GH is its nothing but violence.No family scenes for example Why didn't we get to see Robin tell mac about her pregnancy on screen.They bring in new characters that nobody cares about. Guza has his pets and its destroying the show IMO. Why does Jason always have to be the hero. Why does sason always win. The writers degrade women.They either make them sluts or smart women who are never good enough see Alexis and Robin. Georgie was a good girl and they killed her off.

Us GL fans will take any crumb we can get. I love that GL beat GH in total viewers on Monday and beat OLTL and AMC in viewers. I'd like to see GL stay competitive with the other soaps so that it can remain on the air. Time will tell though with the new format.

Yes someone please tell me why Frons still has a job??? What does he have on Sweeney that she keeps promoting him????

J&A are keeping AMC from dropping lower(it deserves to be 1.9 or lower), but I don't even see that lasting. ABCD needs to learn that these casting stunts can't take the place of good writing. It's obvious B&E are putting all their eggs in one basket(Jesse & Angie), and even J&A can't save this show.

Just damn, thanks for that info Errol. I think ABCD is doomed if a regime change doesn't happen. I'm starting to think AMC will be gone not long after Days next year.....

Yay for the Bell soaps, holding steady with the ability to improve!

DAYS is that little engine that could, it thinks it can, I hope it can.

The P&G soaps: well my my my, GL has not toppled AMC and OLTL and is within reach of GH...whoever would have thought that was possible?! And ATWT is holding steady, nice to see. At least P&G appears to give a damn.

ABC Daytime: not going to say much aside from they're getting exactly what they deserve.

No freakin' kidding!!! Stupid Valentine's Day eppy. I knew it would be the lowest rated day of the week (well, the least amount of viewers anyway...).

It doesn't surprise me that a WELL LIKED character's troubles (Parker's) get higher ratings. D'UH...stop making people unrootable, IIC.

I completely forgot about the V-Day show. Of course it got the lowest total viewers and HH number. :rolleyes: And they call them a success. :rolleyes: They need to stop with these special shows. It is hurting their overall numbers.

I think it is the fact that Jack and Carly are also working together to clear Parker that help the ratings increase. But I agree. Parker being a rootable character adds so much to wanting to view the storyline.

ABC needs to get rid of Frons and make a clean sweep at all three soaps.

I don't watch GH but it doesn't take a genius to see that its in dire need of help.

AMC's been a mess for a long time. Jesse and Angie have managed to stop the bleeding but they can't save the whole show. However the writing for them has been phenomenal. Whoever's responsible for it should be given more reach because they have seem to have been studying Marland's rules.

And no matter how many people want to crown Ron Carlivati the savior of soaps (yes I'm talking to you Nelson Branco), OLTL is still one of the most boring, pedantic shows on the air and the ratings back that up. The "Higley sucked more" exemption has run out. Perhaps Ron needs a braver, edgier co-writer, someone less married to out of date stories and the ways of telling them.

    • 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. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.

        FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM AUGUST 1973 & NOVEMBER 1973:
    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975. 
    • No. Ed and Holly were married and having problems. She had an affair with Roger and that's when Christina--Blake--was conceived. The rape happened much later, after Holly and Roger were married.
