Feel free to post OLTL spoilers here especially for Toups.

Only kidding! Don't do it or you may be force fed some peanut butter and banana pancakes!

Ratings Day More low numbers for ATWT.....more reason to fire Pissant and Goutman... Give me the ratings Toups.

*pops popcorn*

Okay let the spin begin!!

Going to nap as I wait for ratings.

Gimme a seven or eleven... come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.... here we go!

Oh, wait... wrong table.

Give me increases in OLTL and AMC!

Where are the ratings??

Sara Bibel kind of looks like Bianca (AMC).

Edited June 26, 200817 yr by Pine Charles

I hope AMC/OLTL can go up!

I hope GH sinks further and further down. Emmys don't mean jack ish.

Backstage changes, please!!!!

Hoping OLTL rises!

Hopefully DOOL sinks lower to last place...they need to get rid of Dena...get rid of Chan...everything...

Although I would love for OLTL to rise, I can't see it happening. Last week was slow compared to this week and other past weeks. Also, neither AMC or GH had much going on that would propel it. Nonetheless, I hope it rises

Taps fingers on desk and waits.

Soapsuds, didnt you have them for us last week?

Soapsuds, didnt you have them for us last week?

No, it was SOAPSFORVER...I dont see him around....I usually have the ABC press release but it hasnt come out yet.
