I think the ratings will go up because of a very good week with Jonathan/Lizzie/Bill, Reva/Josh/Cassie, Alan/Beth/Rick, and even Mel was on three times this week! Very emotional well-acted show today which gives the viewers a real treat. GL is #1 in the 12-17 age group this week and this is where the advertisers crave for as this age group grows older into the 18-49 demographic. GL is somehow building the new generation of viewers.

I'm sorry, but I don't see why Y&R's ratings have to be the saving grace of every other CBS soap. I understand what you're saying to a certain extent don't get me wrong. But, in my opinion, viewers have given up.

Think about it...in most markets across the country Y&R airs after the popular Price Is Right or the noon newscast as most Americans are on their lunch break this is where people sample other promotion during Y&R's commercial break. With high viewership during Y&R it provides a lead-in to the shows afterwards such as B&B and ATWT. If Y&R is pre-empted or people tuning out on a badly written episode, B&B, ATWT, and GL will go down majority of the time.

Considering GL airs mostly in the 9am and 10am time slot in bigger markets with a weak lead-in of CBS Early Show and most people are working during that time. Also competing with the popular NBC Today show that runs until 11am eastern time.

This is probably the most unreal quote I have ever seen on here.

Typical trash the show banter.

It will take a while to see if the new format increases or decreases ratings.

I do not believe there will be a big increase or decrease, I happen to think that GL will coast along as they have.

What I would love to see is a huge increase and see what the naysayers say, but I don't think that will happen. It is just not the time for any soap to make a huge impact.

People bitch about how bad GL is, but even when it was great it was still in the same place in the ratings as it is now. if all soaps were increasing their ratinsg like crazy, I would believe that the shape of the show is impacting viewers. But that is not a valid point, at least not yet and I find it quite comical that people are just not blaming the ratings on the new look LOL

Kit Kat anyone?

I only watch one soap, and that is GL...so I do not typically buy into the if one drops they all drop, but I do see it having merit.

I'd say they're consistent, but not necessarily compelling. Brooke/Ridge/Taylor is officially a worn out, tired mess.

I liked it too, but it seems that every episode I've seen lately revolves around them. It's an umbrella story that stampedes everything around it. The new sets have handicapped the filming process, because the camera operators choose weird locations and jerky movements to avoid each other. Without a 4th wall to escape into, they've had to become more flexible than the liquid terminator.

Whether he's on a pole, at the office, or in his car, I have only one thing to say: PUT SOME DAMN CLOTHES ON, YOU EXHIBITIONIST FREAK.

I'm not shocked by DAYS inconsistent ratings. The show is okay, however *very* boring lately, IMO. It seems to suffer from lack of a long-term story plan, and it shows. I even found the plane crash to be boring. So I've just been catching the clips on youtube the past week to keep up, but still nothing to where I race to the tv(as per usual) at 2pm. However, I am hooked on ATWT so congrats to them for holding steady.

Funny how ATWT treats Nuke like crap and won't show them like a real couple..But i'm sure they love all the publicity they are getting from not showing them kiss, it even hit CNN..Maybe that was their plan all along..

It actually takes ALOT of years for a lot of people to lan pilots that picked up and make it to air. over 200 pilots are made a year and only a handful get picked up. jennifer Aniston did soemthing like ten pilots, 1 hit the air and filed, and other other became friends. it is all a matter of luck.

    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
