I can't even agree, they haven't even stopped the bleeding, it's still all over the rest of the show, which is a major clusterfuck of suckiness.

I don't even agree the writing for them is phenomenal, I think the writing overall for them hasn't been that great, I think it's just that D&D can spin crap into gold is why it seems the writing for them is so good.

Angie and Jessie don't fix all of AMC's problems but they are my definition of a foundation for repair. They are the closest thing to my definition of 'must see tv' that exists on all of ABCD. I'm glad to see them doing something to salvage the show. Now if the rest of the network would follow.

For the record be it the writing or the actors or whatever combination I'll take the combination AMC now has going in the Angie and Jessie story.

I was home from work some this week so I tuned in to see this 'new and improved' OLTL, and while it was cool they were showing lots of 'vets', I still found it a little boring. Maybe it's because there was a lot of Kathy Brier--she's always been grating to me. I did see an awesome Nora/Lindsey scene though that made me wish Julia Barr was still on AMC--I miss the Erica/Brooke smackdowns. I do however, LOVE, Trevor St. John as Todd.

Bo/Lindsay (again)

Who's Rex's daddy? (Let's just call him Hugh!)

Allison's secret (again)

Jared fools the Bukes (a redux of Max)

Nora/Lindsay feud (again)

Todd/Blair (the ultimate redux)

Ramsey as NuSpencer

I wonder if Ron even bothered to pen new scripts or did he just grab old ones and cross out the names? Why not just cancel the show and send everyone to YouTube? At this point I'm grateful if they put modern music in the background. I'm surprised Hootie and the Blowfish wasn't the musical guest at Starr's birthday party.

The sad thing is that Ron will probably get a pass because of the strike. People will just assume that's the reason for the warmed over crap on their screens.

What's so great about RC except that you enjoy watching his stuff?

A closer look at the ratings information...

Daytime Ratings: Week of February 11 Edition
With the Daytime Soap Opera almost extinct due to falling ratings week-after-week, it's anyone's guess as to how ABC Daytime, once considered the premiere network for soaps, has lost three million viewers in one year for their dramas with no changes expected in sight.

I do because I see a fascinating (or potential for a fascinating) umbrella story unrolling. You have the Hubbard family reunion which involved Tad. You have Derek, Zach and Greenlee tied in through the dead Remmey which brings in Kendall and Aiden all which ties back to the mystery of who took Jessie in the first place and what it is that he is supposed to know.

Who knows if it will work long term but they had to start somewhere and best of all the story is about Angie, Jessie, Tad, Frankie and so on.

One more note of interest,

The View is daytime's 5th most watched program, behind only Y&R, The Price is Right 1 & 2 and B&B. The closest to its 3.8 million total viewer average? ATWT with 3.2 million viewers. In full daytime, GH is ranked 8th, while AMC and OLTL ranked 10th and 11th out of 11 programs.

Why people still have jobs? I'm not sure. But things will change soon enough, otherwise ABC Daytime will become NBC Daytime as a we approach another decade.

2. B&B 4,006,000 (+268,000/-352,000)

3. ATWT 3,206,000 (+178,000/-161,000)

4. DAYS 2.962,000 (-18,000/-290,000)

5. GH 2,882,000 (-150,000/-1,368,000)

6. GL 2,757,000 (+222,000/-262,000)

7. AMC 2,696,000 (-62,000/-860,000)

8. OLTL 2,618,000 (-10,000/-723,000)

HH

1. Y&R 4.2/14 (+.2/-.4)

2. B&B 2.9/9 (+.1/-.4)

3. ATWT 2.3/7 (same/-.3)

3. GH 2.3/7 (same/-.9)

5. DAYS 2.2/7 (same/-.3)

6. AMC 2.1/7 (same/-.7)

6. OLTL 2.1/7 (+.1/-.5)

8. GL 2.0/6 (+.1/-.4)

Believe me, I have the same questions. GL is often at the bottom of the ratings on HH, while in the middle of the pack for numbers of viewers. Only the advertisers care about HH.

HOLY HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

Okay, first of all, GO DAYS! Topping GH in total viewers is GREAT! :D

ABC is falling apart. I love OLTL and RC, but even changes need to be made there. Not necessarily like new HW, but maybe a Co-HW, and a new EP(Gary Tomlin for either positions)

GH and AMC...they are obvious.

And most of all: GET FRONS OFF OF ABC!

Why does this - 4. DAYS 2,962,000 (-18,000/-290,000) = 2.2

and

this - 5. GH 2,882,000 (-150,000/-1,368,000) = 2.3

and DAYS has a higher number by 80,000 people???

If these are rated on the same system to come up with a 2.2 and a 2.3, shouldn't DAYS be a 2.3 or a 2.4 instead of a 2.2???

Am I making sense? Or am I missing something?

Jen

    • 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.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of

        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.
