Mine are 1. YR 3.7

2. BB 2.6

3. GH 2.3

4. OLTL 2.2

5. ATWT 1.8

6. AMC 1.8

7. DAYS 1.7

8. GL 1.7

Drool(Days) is dead as dead can get. I am done with it. I don't see the point in watching anyway DH is there and has just made the show's demise more eminit. SOD never was able to come through with anything more than "rumors" that the show got one more year. As far as I have read the end is still the same March of 2009! Ever since DH left OLTL that show rocks!

[LoyaltoAMC]

My guesses:

Y&R 3.6

B&B 2.5

GH 2.1

ATWT 1.9

OLTL 1.9

AMC 1.8

DAYS 1.8

GL 1.6

[Soapsuds]

I love it GL Forever.

[MichaelGL]

My Predictions

Y&R 3.6

B&B 2.5

GH 2.1

OLTL 2.0

ATWT 1.9

AMC 1.9

DAYS 1.8

GL 1.6

I honestly don't expect OLTL to get below a 2.0, either rise or stay the same. AMC and ATWT are another story, I'm unsure about how low they could fall. I don't believe DAYS will see a big gain, but won't fall below a 1.8.

[sacha]

My dream:

B&B 5.0

Y&R 3.9

GH 2.9

OLTL 2.8

ATWT 2.7

AMC 2.6

DAYS 2.4

GL 2.3

It would be great for all soaps

[Port Oak Valley]

my guess:

1. YR 3.6

2. BB 2.6

3. GH 2.2

4. OLTL 2.1

5. DAYS 2.0

6. ATWT 1.9

7. AMC 1.9

8. GL 1.6

6. AMC-1.9

7. Atwt-1.9

8. GL---1.4

[Soapsuds]

Ok Toups...where are the ratings?

[NYC123]

Everyone is guessing the ratings.

[LoyaltoAMC]

Why is everyone guessing increases for OLTL? I know a lot of people on this board have a hard-on for that show, but was it truly good last week?

[Supersage]

Is OLTL that good?

You bet your arse it is! It is the best soap opera on the air right now. It has every facet of what a soap should be. Whether or not the ratings will reflect it or not is to be seen.

I think the ratings will remain the same--no real changes.

[GHJunkie4Life]

No idea...

I haven't watched it in ages myself. There was a point when I was glued to it but I don't know all of sudden I just grew tired of it I guess. I hope all soaps go up or at least stay the same.

[SteveFrame]

I wouldn't count on that too much.

The last 2 years 4th of July week has saw Days fall either .3 or .4 from the previous week. 4th of July week has been harder on Days than any show.

the last 2 years 4th of July week have been bad for most soaps but Days it is the hardest on.
