This was a good week for soaps relatively speaking

Y&R -- 3.5 -- 12 (-1)

B&B -- 2.5 -- 8 (same)

GH -- 2.1 -- 7 (same)

AMC -- 1.9 -- 6 (+1)

ATWT -- 1.9 -- 6 (+1)

DAYS -- 1.9 -- 6 (-3)

OLTL -- 1.9 -- 7 (same)

GL -- 1.5 -- 5 (same)

Women 18-49 Viewers

Y&R -- 1.7 (same)

GH -- 1.4 (same)

B&B -- 1.2 (same)

DAYS -- 1.2 (same)

OLTL -- 1.2 (+1)

AMC -- 1.1 (+1)

ATWT -- 1.0 (+1)

GL -- .9 (same)

except for Y&R no soap fell in HH and in the 18-49 demo no soap fell at all. I guess considering the overall trend of the last ten years you can't ask for better than that.

Well of course you didn't - Kendall was being a bitch and wouldn't stay at home with her husband or kids. And of course that is all Greenlee, Ryan, Annie, and Aiden's fault. The writers are against you - they aren't putting Zendall in a magical storyline where the entire show revolves around them. The writers are actually writing for the entire canvas now! Of course you're bored.

:rolleyes:

Y/R has been a chaotic mess. Feels like they have no direction. (It also feels to me like they are sort of glorifying abuse which is really icky). I went from loving this show two years ago, even six or so months ago.. to finding it just about unwatchable now. :( I guess I'm not the only one.

It's like Y/R looked at what the other soaps do wrong and decided to do the same. Go figure.

    • Can we talk about how iconic the 1994 tornado was on AMC? I was scanning through old episodes last night and came across this episode. The tornado was epic and the storylines/aftermath were so good (Julia's scar/Noah!; Jenny/Ray/Nola/Jesse in heaven with Tad, etc).  For 1994, these special effects and budget for this big event were amazing. 10 out of 10!  The only thing missing is Erica!  I can't recall where Erica was at the time, but I really wish she had been involved in this storyline.

    • On the way to her own engagement party? I've read that the show had trouble getting the audience to sympathize with Rita, but...that seems bizarre. Maybe I can understand the issue with the censors, given that at the time, rape wasn't depicted the way it is now, and marital rape was even less acknowledged.  Wasn't Chris Brooks' rape one of the first honest stories on the subject? I just don't think I could get into a show I didn't have a working knowledge of. I know it's a different era, but I really tried to get into GH once Maura West joined, but it just never jelled.
    • Yes it was! My mom and I convinced my dad to get one. He was--how shall I put this?--on the thrifty side, but one day he came home with one as a surprise. To this day, I'm convinced it fell off a truck. (He knew people with "connections."

      ) BUT, we had our VCR and we could watch our soaps. That thing lasted forever! It was built like a tank. Even when we got new ones with more features, we kept that one.

        Blasphemy!  (Haha, I get it.  But, you should try watching AMC! 80s-90s was so good.)
    • I thought about saying how I resented the fact that those two newbies were tripping up the Puppetmaster of all Puppetmasters, when the best others could do was a stalemate (or less...). But, well...*sigh*
    • I read years ago that both Zaslow and Lenore both complained that it came off as a seduction because of CBS censors, so Lenore asked if she could say, "you raped me" to leave no doubt with the audience, and that Zaslow insisted that Holly's rape played realistically 
    • Wow it’s official, Gatwa is out… https://www.avclub.com/ncuti-gatwa-addresses-doctor-who-finale-statement DW fandom on Reddit is in a furor over how things went down and apparent last minute scrapping of the original ending. Also…Billie Piper again really?
    • He comes pretty close, talkin' about how Reva is full of love and joy, blah blah....which is bilge considering he was the one responsible for throwing her out of Josh's life over working with Alan. 
    • Just watched the episode concerning Olivia's drug use and Abby's persistence, etc. Donna Mills did stellar work in this episode, as did Tonya Crowe and Brian Austin Green (Brian).
    • But by Dinah and Hart...Hart especially looked as if he could not tie his own shoes!  Ed, Holly, Alan, Alex Henry and Vanessa among others were not able to put Roger down....Dinah???
