ABC soaps have each lost more than a half million viewers in a year. That's alarming.

[MichaelGL]

Wow. These are depressing.

To describe ATWT as ho-hum would be an understatement. I could care less about Paul, Sophie, Meg, Will, or Gwen. Sophie has to be one of the most dullest characters in daytime. RH's portrayl of Paul is nauseating. The drama between Bob and Chris would be entertaining, I just feel as if it's lacking something. Jack and Carly's drama is entertaining, but I can't help to have the feeling that we've been here with these two before and their story just isn't good enough to save the entire show. Lilly and Hodlen's potential reunion is interesting, but I can't stop asking myself "How in the hell did we get here?" (I know how btw, and it was ridiculous). The only entertainment I get out of Casey's story is seeing Tom and Margo. The actor that plays Matt is good too.

So all in all there's very few keeping me tuned in. I think Phoenix said it well that ratings are simply based on luck. It's unfortunate that DAYS and OLTL didn't get the rise they deserve, but perhaps next week.

Alarming but not surprising. ABC is like an alcoholic and Frons is the booze. Until they hit bottom, admit they have a problem and get rid of him, it's hopeless.

[dragonflies]

Yep until Frons is gone, the bleeding won't stop. He's poison to ABC Daytime, but yet for some unknown reason they keep promoting him. They're the ONLY network I've ever seen that promotes failure....

[Soapsuds]

Did ABC have a press release? I am curious as what they had to say.
