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.

    • Okay I can buy that when Brook Lynn was a teen.  Now she knows the child is a boy one would think she'd be slightly suspicious.  Then again, Gio looks nothing like either of them so maybe not lol.
    • I've been behind & just got caught up & the last 3 days were amazing!
    • Yeah.  The hot, poor bad boy with a chip on his shoulder but with a heart of gold was a common soap trope in the 80s

    • That's been an issue with me... the lack of a cohesive 'Have Not' crowd that has focus other than Leslie/Eva.   I would beef up Jan, Mona, Laura, Joey, and few other male characters.. and not just be out to overthrow the Duprees.. but co-existing and broadening the scope of the show since the show is called Beyond the Gates. I think the set up the show has with everything revolving around the Duprees will become predictable especially if they always win.   It would be like Victor Newman on Y & R for 40+ years.. always winning, hardly ever losing.   With MVJ/Guza.. both trained under that mindset... I fear that will happen.   I've always heard from a performer that is playing a character like Leslie/Dana that you have to find the victim/hurt beneath the surface in order to play a villain/villainess... and I think that's why I enjoy watching her.. because she brings so much more to the part than what the writers put on the page.
    • I figure that was really hard for Dom to do. I completely GET why they wrote it the way they did but I wonder if it was necessary. Meanwhile I have 2 really icky ideas in my head. Drew is going to blame Tracy KNOWING it was not her. Dante is going to blame Lulu.  After that, everyone else is going to be mad at Lois.  Tracy is going to double down on wanting to get rid of Sonny. Sonny's going to be more dug in to stay because he now has a new descendant. 
    • I can actually buy Brook Lynn being so self-absorbed and incurious that she never thought to question why her mom and grandma were so attached to Gio. 
    • It was overkill and the whole narrative Lois was too nice to the orphan kid when he was little, WHAT? Like Emma said no one thinks Gio is a troublemaker that gets 14-year-old kids drunk for fun. That being said, Lulu figured this Gio thing out in episode, but Brook Lynn never once questioned Lois and Gloria's attachment to a child that was the same age as the baby she gave up?  Ever?
    • Thanks for finding that. I may have been thinking of this blog entry.
