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.

    • 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...
    • Kelly was a horribly-written character overall. Just think, two Emmy-winning actresses (including Cynthia Watros, Nina, GH, and Annie, GL) couldn't make it work. Pamela is campy, but so are Dani, Vanessa, Leslie, and Joey. And, I don't want to be too judgy because my love for camp changes depending on the show. OLTL, DAYS, and some eras of GH had me rolling with the camp. However, Passions was overkill and I hated it. And, here, I can take it or leave it. It's ok in small doses (note to RC). I see this show as more of a serious drama.
    • I think one of the reasons that pilot didn't get picked up was because Vicki L was associated more with being Thelma Harper and playing older then she was playing her own age.  It was a blessing it didn't get picked up, or we would have been deprived of the syndicated era of Mama's Family.   Also, worth noting a Pre Night Court Marsha Warfield and pre Perfect Strangers Rebecca Arthur in the cast.  All talented women, but stuck with a bad script. And the other pilot had a pre Fran Fine.. Fran Drescher as the best friend.  I think that pilot might have been picked up if Karen Valentine and Fran Drescher switched roles.
    • So, on rewatch....did Rick and Mindy never have sex? 
    • Cady had a fairly posh accent or manner as Rosanna - the character was a 180 from Dixie when she went to ATWT, and it was a huge success initially. As someone mostly only familiar with the nagging, miserable or clueless Dixie of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s it was what convinced me Cady could act. I thought she was incredible in her first run. Later, in future stints, her hair and story and performances were all over the place but a lot of that was down to the show for me. She brought some of Rosanna back with her to Dixie in her ill-fated return and a lot of people didn't like it, which I understood but I did think the character needed some change. I think she's had a little bit of the same persona and arch performance in every role she's played since, including Jennifer Horton at DAYS or Kelly at Y&R, who later became a maniac and was easily the worst work I've ever seen Cady do. It has kind of infected her overall mannerisms, I'll allow that, but I do think she brought Dixie back together as herself while still evolving the character when she returned to AMC again in 2012-13. Nonetheless, for me the upshot is that this is a character where Cady's kookier recent performance style suits the role. But I can understand it grating for people.
    • Yeah, Loretta Swit's passing stings. My late dad LOVED the show (he died last November) and watched it religiously. In first run and repeats.  And I was literally born the day after the show's premiere, so I grew up with it! I know many loved later, softer Margaret, but I loved Early Hot Lips. In real life, I'm all for less misogyny, but to me, the early years of M*A*S*H were just funnier. May Loretta Swit rest in peace. Thanks for all the memories connected to my dad!
