[tgilbrea69]

Any prediction for ATWT???? Think they have bottomed out yet?

[Soapfan1]

where's the rating

[SnCCorinthos4ever]

I'm hoping that all but GH rise.

[Phoenix11]

I'm really hoping that the Josh and Reva scenes from last week help to propel GL! It would be a huge boost if they did and might push TPTB that much more to reunite them!!

*keeps fingers crossed*

[SnCCorinthos4ever]

I would love for GL to beat GH so my fingers are crossed for you as well.

[XxTaraXx]

Toupsy, are you gonna post Night Shift ratings this weekend?

[lynnb2]

ATWT and GL have been great lately ! It appears they are getting much better writing now. Yeaaa!
