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.

    • 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.
    • I just did with GL and its made me very happy!

          Oh yes, trying to get into any soap from scratch starting post-2010 would be hard. I prefer to go back to the good ol' days, before the decline. 
    • Can we talk about how iconic the 1994 tornado was on AMC? I was scanning through old episodes last night and came across this episode. The tornado was epic and the storylines/aftermath were so good (Julia's scar/Noah!; Jenny/Ray/Nola/Jesse in heaven with Tad, etc).  For 1994, these special effects and budget for this big event were amazing. 10 out of 10!  The only thing missing is Erica!  I can't recall where Erica was at the time, but I really wish she had been involved in this storyline.

    • On the way to her own engagement party? I've read that the show had trouble getting the audience to sympathize with Rita, but...that seems bizarre. Maybe I can understand the issue with the censors, given that at the time, rape wasn't depicted the way it is now, and marital rape was even less acknowledged.  Wasn't Chris Brooks' rape one of the first honest stories on the subject? I just don't think I could get into a show I didn't have a working knowledge of. I know it's a different era, but I really tried to get into GH once Maura West joined, but it just never jelled.
    • Yes it was! My mom and I convinced my dad to get one. He was--how shall I put this?--on the thrifty side, but one day he came home with one as a surprise. To this day, I'm convinced it fell off a truck. (He knew people with "connections."

      ) BUT, we had our VCR and we could watch our soaps. That thing lasted forever! It was built like a tank. Even when we got new ones with more features, we kept that one.

        Blasphemy!  (Haha, I get it.  But, you should try watching AMC! 80s-90s was so good.)
    • I thought about saying how I resented the fact that those two newbies were tripping up the Puppetmaster of all Puppetmasters, when the best others could do was a stalemate (or less...). But, well...*sigh*
    • I read years ago that both Zaslow and Lenore both complained that it came off as a seduction because of CBS censors, so Lenore asked if she could say, "you raped me" to leave no doubt with the audience, and that Zaslow insisted that Holly's rape played realistically 
    • Wow it’s official, Gatwa is out… https://www.avclub.com/ncuti-gatwa-addresses-doctor-who-finale-statement DW fandom on Reddit is in a furor over how things went down and apparent last minute scrapping of the original ending. Also…Billie Piper again really?
