when will the ratings get posted?

As soon as Toups gets them. Probably later on today. There were no holidays. So they should be out already.

The Olympics shouldn't affect Days for last week...I hope they go up as well for Stefano's return and Bope's renewal ceremony..

Hoping for another new low for GH.

I don't understand why ABC likes to brag about beating GL. I wonder what they think about losing to Y&R & B&B. & sometimes ATWT.

So it looks like OLTL and AMC went up +.1 in 18-49 and in Viewers. I dont know how....lol. I think both show are the pits...lol...

Y&R down in 18-49 with a 1.6....last week they had a 1.8

ATWT down 6,000 in viewers 18-49 but beat both OLTL, AMC and Days in total viewers.

Days drop in Total viewers from last week.

Cant wait to see the rest.

Thanks coffeebeans.

lol I think that it is pretty funny that they do that.

I am waiting for the day that GL beat GH in the ratings, it will be so quiet at ABC that you would be able to hear a pin drop.

Notice how ABC never compares the ratings of AMC to that of B&B. They only compare the ratings against Days. B&B is opposite AMC in most or all markets...lol

Wow. OLTL beat GH in women 18-34. That hasn't happened in many years.

Isnt that a new low for GH?

Isnt that a new low for GH?

Yep

Isnt that a new low for GH?

My fingers are crossed for a new low.

It looks like GH went up slighty in total viewers. So they will probably take the #3 spot from ATWT.

Toups, have you recieved the ratings yet?

They went down, though, in both key demos. From 0.8 to 0.7 in women 18-34, and they lost 19,000 viewers in women 18-49 (although that still keeps them in the range for a 1.2 in that demo). So either they increased in teens or women 50+. Should be interesting to see the HH's.

Even a 1.2 is disgustingly low... OLTL tied GH in 18-49!!! Lets see what happends in Total viewers
