Is OLTL going to surpass Y&R come this week ratings?

Which is probably why OLTL is flourishing right now; ABC and Brian Frons have meddled so much with both GH and AMC that both shows are now in the crapper because of their warped and delusional "vision" for each of them. At the moment I'm kinda glad ABC treats OLTL like the red headed step child because the show finally has a HW who is capable of writing for the show and no out of touch execs get to meddle with his vision because they're all trying to save GH and AMC from falling to the bottom of the ratings.

As for OLTL potentially being number one in the ratings; who knows what could happen when you have a good HW at the helm. Obviously the current ratings are not a true testiment to how the quality of each soap is; if Y&R would not be first right now.

I'm still trying to figure out how a car accident involving two main characters, the kidnapping of a con man by another, a punch that was heard around the wrold, and a guy coming back from the dead can be considered boring, but to each their own.

I am enjoying OLTL. It is fun and soapy, but I certainly don't think that it is the best soap on the air and it definitely will never surpass Y&R in the ratings. The soap right now is B&B and its ratings is stagnant because Y&R is struggling.

As long as OLTL is ABC's #1 soap, I'll be happy. :) In fact, I would love to see OLTL and AMC both beat GH (maybe then Frons will wise up and fire Guza). That would make me so happy.

Honestly, I want more (yeah, I'm greedy. I know)

I won't be happy until OLTL is SOLIDLY in the #3 slot in HH's every week (And the highest rated ABC soap in 18-49... again, THE MOST IMPORTANT NUMBER).

We all know it can have jumps. We've seen it happen before. (Gay governor serial killer?) But when it's in #3 and the #1 ABC soap in demos for a solid eight weeks? I'll throw a freakin' party!

Oh, I definitely want more too, brimike. But it's gotta start with 1 week. The #3 in HHs and #1 in 18-49 among ABC soaps is in their reach. If Y&R keeps faltering, maybe OLTL has a chance at #1 overall in 18-49 (I know I'm asking for the moon here LOL). Hopefully, I'll have some good news with the next ratings release. :)

    • I didn't post about it in the BtG thread as I still don't watch the show (an hour runtime is just too much for me right now with a new soap I can't just mostly skip through) but I can't imagine the ego of someone who is hired as a breakdown writer and decides to [!@#$%^&*] their own name all over the show. Classless beyond belief. Any writer who cares more about masturbatory behavior than quality of work should not be hired.
    • Yeah, it would've made things more tightly woven.
    • I like Chelsea and Madison. Two very pretty black women as a potential couple. But I really wish this show would've showcased two very handsome black men as a couple instead.
    • I didn't even think of roasters from GH

      Maybe it'll take even more than two years
    • Irna wasn't involved with ATWT at the time of Neil's death, was she? I'm imagining a situation where right after his latest doctor's appointment, he's killed.
    • The Cruise of Deception was the first thing that came to mind when I mentioned that Brady might take after that side of the family 
    • We all knew that TT is busy so if she's off screen for a bit except for phone calls and/or visits.. then it is what is. Ashley was nicely used as support... which the writers should have been doing since day 1 so that viewers could understand why exactly she's on the show LOL Chelsea/Madison.... seems too good to be true... we shall see. Shanice as a PT... if it means more airtime.. I'm good.
    • Yeah, he's a mobster with Vanessa while his wife cozies up to mobsters as the worst mayor in America. 
    • He's too busy in Maryland with a younger blonde woman.

    • The rumor Zimmer writes about sounds like something Paul Rauch would have told Zimmer about Jacqueline Courtney as a way to discredit Courtney as Rauch loved to do that sort of thing. Zimmer probably just retroactively fit it into her story. Zimmer does not have good sense of time in her memoir. Who knows?!!? Zimmer strikes me as someone who always has to be competing with women.  Zimmer and 1986: If I had no context and someone told me that someone in the 1986 scenes would win four Emmys, I would immediately pick Denniston. Granted, I've only watched about a week's worth, but my word, Zimmer just fades into the background even when she's the main player in the storyline. There's no life in her performances. It feels that Zimmer is unhappy and that she's letting it impact her acting.
