[dm.]

Let's hope there won't be any more falls for Y&R.

And a rise for OLTL (plus a fall for GH) would be great.

[NYC123]

I hope Y&R falls. Theres NOTHING good about it.

OLTL HAS to go UP!!!!!! I would like to see AMC go up and GH go down.

[JackPeyton]

for the sake of the genre i love i hope no soap falls.

not even GL.

but as far as whats deserving of going up and down, AMC def falls in the ladder part of that.

[Soapsuds]

Jumps up and down like a kid.....wonders where Toups is with the ratings.

[LoyaltoAMC]

I have a hunch AMC might slip to a 1.9. It was bad last week, and horrid this week. They haven't learned the lesson that Annie/Ryan/Greenlee/Zendull are ratings poison. I'm hearing positive feedback about Pratt's bible, so his arrival could be good news. I want to be excited about Y&R and how the David/Ji Min reveal might propel the show into bigger and better things (which is probably what MAB was alluding to in that fluff piece with Nelson Branco), but I have my doubts. The entire show just falls flat for me. It's not that it's bad and schizophrenic, like AMC; just that it's dull. Viewers don't care about David, and if they cared about Ji-Min and who killed him, that has long passed. And Gloria is eating the show alive. Hopefully Hogan can rectify all of that. But I do think its ratings slide has leveled off, for now at least, and will stay in the 3.4-3.7 range for a while. GH has been absolutely terrible. As usual with them, great dialogue and interesting characterizations buried in a landfill of putrid storylines. It hit a 2.0 in one of the dailies the week before. Will any of last week's dailies dip into the 1's? Will be interesting to see.

[dragonflies]

LOL the sextet is poison, but the characters separately most don't seem to mind

But NO characters are to blame for ratings going down, no but the writers are to blame for that.

Last week was pretty boring, so I doubt the ratings will go up

[MoTheGreat]

B&B been good to me.

[arcibaldo]

Poor Y&R, wedding a little boring .I hope 3.5, B&B 2.6 so a so

[Raven04]

low ratings for DOOL please...

[sacha]

b&b: 2.6

just my guess...

[Soapsuds]

I wonder if the ratings will be delayed because of the holiday tomorrow??

[Scotty]

With the holiday being on a Friday, I doubt it. I could be wrong though.
