Yup, I dont think Y&R will be seeing the 4's anymore. How sad it that?? I am surprised by AMC rise in the ratings as well. GL needs to be cancelled period and ATWT is headed the same path as GL unless Goutman and his lap dog are fired.

To clarify, when I said the writing was bad, I meant how the episodes were structured, the forgettable dialogue and mediocre subplots.

Chris!!

No wonder those episodes SUCKED - they were written by Elizabeth Page! :lol:

B&B isn't doing itself any favors with this painfully dull Nick/Katie romance being the only storyline featured at the moment. Bring back the trashiness of Rick and Taylor with nuStephanie Brooke gasping in horror.

Yeah, Nick and Katie's romance is quite blah. The show was so exciting a couple weeks ago with the tawdy Nick, Taylor, Rick, Brooke custody fight and Pam figuring out that something was up between Donna and Marcus. BTW, NuStephanie Brooke is a great name for Brooke. Current Stephanie is boringly nice. It would be great if she turned on Brooke when she is haranguing Rick and Taylor.

Just noticed AMC is up two weeks in a row......meaning it will go down next week. I'm just saying....no soap has gone up three weeks in a row this year. :D Let's see if it continues next week. AMC is either going to fall or stay the same. I say it will drop.

Sylph! She really has no excuse now that she can afford her $200 haircuts again. WTF is going on?!

She was ATWT's worst scriptwriter. Worst. So I was happy to see her leave. Only to see her resurface again... :rolleyes:

Hmmm...and well I will spoil it...the Meg/Paul/Cole/Sofie/Cole story continues past July 22....oh dear gawd are we in trouble. <_< It will probably last the whole damn summer.

As for Martha...I think thats part of it but really the stories are the shits at ATWT right now. Carly and Holden....please dont make me laugh...What idot came up with that story????????

The only thing that I find interesting is the fight between the Hughes and Stewarts ....everything else should just be axed!!

I wonder what other brilliant ideas Goutman has coming out of his [!@#$%^&*]!!

YAY! AMC/OLTL went up! :)

ATWT/GL deserves the last 2 spots. Both SUCK! P&G soaps are in ALOT of trouble.

Heres to hoping AMC/OLTL goes up next week.

AMC with Tad/Dixie saying goodbye. :(

and OLTL with Tina returning! :)

Actually Days squeezed behind ATWT. So the last two soaps are Days and GL. But ATWT 1.9 is nothing to brag about.

OLTL might go up but I doubt AMC will. I have seen it and it has been boring.

That's good that they went up, but um ... question, wouldn't it even better if that '7' went up to an '8'? Shares make a difference, right? That's what really shows that new viewers are tuning in, right?

<pops an Advil cuz I'll need it for the answer, I'm sure>

It's times like these where I miss Celia in a crate (I'm kidding...I'm kidding).

I've been watching ATWT thanks to the really nice person who posts them on Youtube and I don't enjoy a lot of what's happening. Luke & Noah lost their appeal to me months ago (mainly because of some of their fans but that's another story). Whatever it was between them that "had" me is gone. I couldn't give a flying feck if Noah died and Luke had sex with the first guy who he saw. Anything would be better than what they're giving now.

How anyone finds Meg/Paul/ and ANYONE involved them them interesting is amazing to me. They lost their appeal long ago too.

This Sofie/Cole/Paul/Meg things is a poor play on SO many other stories that were done better. But whatever, that's the writing I guess.

The only bright spot for me (surprisingly) is something I was so adamantly against....Casey & Emily. Anytime I can see Tom & Margo is a good day.

Holden/Carly/Jack/Lily would be interesting if it wasn't so contrived and stupid.

    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of 
    • FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM FEBRUARY 1973 & MAY 1973:

        FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM AUGUST 1973 & NOVEMBER 1973:
    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975. 
    • No. Ed and Holly were married and having problems. She had an affair with Roger and that's when Christina--Blake--was conceived. The rape happened much later, after Holly and Roger were married.
    • Was Blake the product of Roger raping Holly, or did that come after when they were a couple?
    • I really wish we could see that episode...absolutely, my memory could be faulty, it was a very long time ago. I'm not going to contradict what the actors said--there has to be a reason it made them so uncomfortable that they talked about it in the press and complained to TPTB. I think that was the first one where they made the point that they wanted to educate the audience about the subject.
