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's some irony in Philip being forgiven, because it forces everyone to admit that Victor was wrong to change his will.  Everyone, eventually including Xander, (I presume), seems to think it was wrong for Victor to divide his estate in Xander's favor.  I appreciated Stephanie forgiving Philip, because she's got no skin in that game.  But, Belle's line about Philip missing Xander because he misses Bo did not ring true.  I think Philip would be sad if Bo dies, but I think he's more concerned currently about Xander. I am enjoying this EJ mystery so much that I am hereby taking a vow not to read spoilers.  I am also vowing — for the last time — to stop harping on this, but: the concept of a “sepsis treatment” remains absurd. Hospitals prevent sepsis through vigilant infection control; once sepsis sets in, it causes multiple organ failures. Treatment involves supporting each failing organ individually. The notion that a single medication could magically reverse organ failure is medically laughable. However, I like the contrast of Kim going through cancer, which is incurable in their universe.  Kayla's comment on the health of both of her siblings was both heartbreaking and an interesting twist.  MBE is also totally underrated.  She is carrying the weight of so many stories.   And, I like the use of Kayla as an audience surrogate.  She's arguably the most "real" person in Salem. Kayla isn't psychic, she wasn't SORASed, she's not a billionaire, and she doesn't have a bionic eye.  So, I enjoy that we get her perspective of the nuttiness that surrounds her.
    • But why worry about something that might not happen? Right now, most things revolve around the Duprees. We have no idea if or how long that will continue. For now, it's working.
    • The Duprees not having any staff is a bugbear for me. They've included the background staff at the Country Club but no one at the Dupree home. Even just an extra bringing in a tray of food/drinks or responding to a request from Anita would suffice.
    • Shut up, Dante and Lois.  I actually don't mind this particular soap trope, but in the context of this storyline, it just feels forced and unnecessary. If anything, this Dante/Gio tension needed to begin months ago. Plus, this storyline, in general, isn't doing Lois any favors either.  Emma comforting Gio was really sweet though. It's definitely time for the two of them to have their first kiss. And, Joss playing Secret Agent Barbie will just never work.
    • Note to makeup - Smitty’s eyebrows, bad clamshell look.

    • Okay I can buy that when Brook Lynn was a teen.  Now she knows the child is a boy one would think she'd be slightly suspicious.  Then again, Gio looks nothing like either of them so maybe not lol.
    • I've been behind & just got caught up & the last 3 days were amazing!
    • Yeah.  The hot, poor bad boy with a chip on his shoulder but with a heart of gold was a common soap trope in the 80s

    • That's been an issue with me... the lack of a cohesive 'Have Not' crowd that has focus other than Leslie/Eva.   I would beef up Jan, Mona, Laura, Joey, and few other male characters.. and not just be out to overthrow the Duprees.. but co-existing and broadening the scope of the show since the show is called Beyond the Gates. I think the set up the show has with everything revolving around the Duprees will become predictable especially if they always win.   It would be like Victor Newman on Y & R for 40+ years.. always winning, hardly ever losing.   With MVJ/Guza.. both trained under that mindset... I fear that will happen.   I've always heard from a performer that is playing a character like Leslie/Dana that you have to find the victim/hurt beneath the surface in order to play a villain/villainess... and I think that's why I enjoy watching her.. because she brings so much more to the part than what the writers put on the page.
    • I figure that was really hard for Dom to do. I completely GET why they wrote it the way they did but I wonder if it was necessary. Meanwhile I have 2 really icky ideas in my head. Drew is going to blame Tracy KNOWING it was not her. Dante is going to blame Lulu.  After that, everyone else is going to be mad at Lois.  Tracy is going to double down on wanting to get rid of Sonny. Sonny's going to be more dug in to stay because he now has a new descendant.
