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. :rolleyes:

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.

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.

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?

    • So, on rewatch....did Rick and Mindy never have sex? 
    • Cady had a fairly posh accent or manner as Rosanna - the character was a 180 from Dixie when she went to ATWT, and it was a huge success initially. As someone mostly only familiar with the nagging, miserable or clueless Dixie of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s it was what convinced me Cady could act. I thought she was incredible in her first run. Later, in future stints, her hair and story and performances were all over the place but a lot of that was down to the show for me. She brought some of Rosanna back with her to Dixie in her ill-fated return and a lot of people didn't like it, which I understood but I did think the character needed some change. I think she's had a little bit of the same persona and arch performance in every role she's played since, including Jennifer Horton at DAYS or Kelly at Y&R, who later became a maniac and was easily the worst work I've ever seen Cady do. It has kind of infected her overall mannerisms, I'll allow that, but I do think she brought Dixie back together as herself while still evolving the character when she returned to AMC again in 2012-13. Nonetheless, for me the upshot is that this is a character where Cady's kookier recent performance style suits the role. But I can understand it grating for people.
    • Yeah, Loretta Swit's passing stings. My late dad LOVED the show (he died last November) and watched it religiously. In first run and repeats.  And I was literally born the day after the show's premiere, so I grew up with it! I know many loved later, softer Margaret, but I loved Early Hot Lips. In real life, I'm all for less misogyny, but to me, the early years of M*A*S*H were just funnier. May Loretta Swit rest in peace. Thanks for all the memories connected to my dad!

    • I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.

    • And here I thought I'd never think about Lauren Tewes again after her brief appearance in Twin Peaks Season 3.
    • I may be the single person who does not mind Transatlantic Campy Pamela. I think it perfectly suits this sort of Absolutely Fabulous-esque supporting character she's playing much more than it did when Cady tried weird and often broad stuff at AMC* or Y&R, or later stints at ATWT. She's not Dixie and she's not trying to be. I will freely admit some of the other chances she took at other shows often came off stiff, hammy or downright mortifying (Kelly Andrews, come on down). (* - and I say that as one of the few who was somewhat into Cady trying to make Dixie more cosmopolitan in the Rosanna Cabot mold in mid-2000s AMC, just to liven the character up again)
    • There’s absolutely nothing exciting happening storyline wise but I’m always happy to see the vets on my screen so I’ll take what I can get. It’s also just nice to see them all dressed up in the same room, it always gives classic Y&R vibes. The best part? No Phyllis.

    • Well now we had Ashley's reaction-and weren't we all gasping when she appeared to hate it-but she was just joking!! She loved it. Now we have to see Abby's reaction, and maybe Mamie could come back to say she loves it. How about Jill via Zoom giving her opinion (she'll love it) and bring in a day player to play Mrs Martinez to say she loves it also... I feel bad to keep dumping on this show (not really) but when the choices they make are so inane, it's the only entertainment value the show has. Let's unpack the Nikki birthday story. So Claire wants to throw her Nana a birthday bash as away of endearing Kyle to Victor. Don't quite get the logic there,but OK. She hires a party planner who makes ridiculous suggestions. Slightly annoyed that Y&R are hiring someone for this role for 5 episodes when we never see doctors, co- workers etc. But OK to that to. With all the talk we are expecting something special. What we get is the Jazz Lounge hideously decorated with some ugly tablecloths and a few tacky decorations. They needed a planner for this? Then the guest list consists of family members (no grandchildren)and a few others. Hardly a party. As usual the costuming is pretty awful. A red and black theme ? And our guest of honor is sporting a do that looks like a cross between Cameron Diaz in Something about Mary and Marie from Roxette. They should have had an intimate dinner and ditched all the fanfare. Would have been way more believable.
