I was about to ask too. Toups, you have the ratings yet?

[TMOTVSoaps]

These numbers are so late that its almost time for the new set of ratings from July 21-25 to come out.

[Toups]

They'll be up on Tuesday 4-5pm-ish EST.

[Soapsuds]

Thanks Toups.

[TMOTVSoaps]

Thanks Toups!

Y&R is rising alot and they might finally help the CBS lineup. GL good word of mouth might be helping.

Very good week for GH and bad week for everybody else.

July 21-25 is the telling week though.

[Soapsuds]

By the figures of last week I had a feeling ATWT dropped. I guess no one gave a [!@#$%^&*] about CarHo affair. The numbers didnt go up. I think Holden confessed to Lily on Wednesday. Thursday Lily tried running down Carly. But the cliffhanger was spoiled by the previews for Friday's show.

[NYC123]

Wow. AMC still at a 2.0! I thought it would drop.

You never give up trying to link random daily ratings fluctuations to the stories that you dislike or like. LOL! I don't watch ATWT any more, but I seriously doubt that Holden and Carly were the only story shown last week. There must be other storylines since there are tons other characters on ATWT.

[WorldTurner]

Yep and Jack and Luke found out on Friday about the affair.

Sure there were other stories on but this was the big story of the week. Contrast that with the week before with the reveal of Emily/Casey and the show went up .3. And from people's reactions, they loved the Casey/Emily reveal and many were disappointed in the Holden/Carly reveal so the ratings are no surprise.

I must be in the minority, but I am actually kind of into the Holden and Carly plots on ATWT. It creates some good tension between Carly and Jack. Also the new Lily has kind of settled in for me (I think she has done a great job - can you imagine walking into that role). Although the show on the 25th was kind of pressing the envelope - goes from one scene when Luke and Noah are kissing and talking about when they are going to have sex, straight to the after-sex scene between Liberty and Parker (who are like 13 and 15 years old).

Everything on ATWT is good right now and I love the Carly/Holden/Lily/Jack stuff as its gotten better overtime to me. I think ATWT's rating will be predicated on how it did last week since the Liberty and Parker stuff had people talking.

Surprised AMC is holding up right now. GL is the hottest of the soaps right now and its showing and I fear for DOOL being the last place soap, but its their fault for firing Sheffer and now Y&R is benefiting its rewards reaching a 3.7 twice in one week.

I might be the only one here, but I think Y&R reaches a 5.0 or 4.5 in November. They've got a hot sweep s/l planned and its huge. The reason why I think that is b/c Sudden Impact is going to help bring people back and they've got three months to get near 4.0. People doubt Y&R ever seeing a day over 4.0 again, but its the one soap that will break that streak of soaps free falling.

Recap of ATWT for last week please just what stories were featured daily Thanks

[Rocket Man]

I noticed GL dropped in the daily ratings on July 15th (Tuesday) to 1.5 and they were pre-empted at 10AM in the following cities: Albany, Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, Flint/Saginaw, Fort Wayne & Miami. IMHO, If it wasn't for the pre-emptions they would've kept 1.7 for July 15th. I would assume the weekly ratings would show GL going up to 1.7 at least; however, I am quite curious how well GL during the week of July 21-25, 2008 especially with the Josh/Reva Wedding Revival Movie storyline, Josh/Cassie breaking up, and the Remy/Ava/Bill/Lizzie storyline. GL was super hot last week and it continues to be hot even this week. Go GL!

thanks for the ratings toups. although can somebody please explain to me how exactly does a soap benefit from constantly having 1st place with the Women 18-34 Rating? does it have anything do to with avertising and getting more money then the other soaps?
