[smadleyb]

Please let GL go up or at least hold steady...

[Steven]

Yes Gl was good last week and this week but i hope that Y&R & DAYS & OLTL Go Up

[sacha]

Rumor: B&B rose to 2.8

[Scotty]

Are the ratings going to be released today or tomorrow? I ask because Monday was a holiday (Columbus Day).

[TMOTVSoaps]

The early word is that CBS had a good week last week and B&B got in the upper 2s as Sacha reported. If that's true then the Marcus experiment worked with Pam.

Folks if you're currently not watching AMC you better start with today's episode or the coming episodes. AMC so far out of all the soaps had the best episode of the year so far today. I'm talking about all soaps and I watch all 8 of them and there were some good ones this year including Y&R in late July-early August, DOOL back in February, OLTL in May, GL back in late July, and GH's turn around recently.

If the ratings come out soon I'll write a ratings analysis this week. I've got a feeling the ratings coming out on Fridays has killed people's interest in posting on the ratings.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I don't see how one can say a certain storyline worked because the ratings rose one week. I also don't see how one can analyze ratings based on storylines that aired during a certain week. If soap ratings truly represented quality and critical acclaim, then Ryan's Hope and Santa Barbara would still be with us today. Just because soaps have a bad weeks in ratings, doesn't mean they aired bad episodes and vice versa.

Also, no one can predict the ratings trend for the next couple of months based on what's happening now. Judging by the trends, I expect no significant rises and more loss of viewers. Optimism and statistical trends are two very different things.

[bandbfan]

I would be surprised if the snake gimmick got many viewers itself for B&B. IMO, the core characters bring in the ratings (the 4 plus Taylor). Heather Tom could've helped with some Y&R people but her story was so bad that it probably didn't.

[NYC123]

Please let ABC rise!

[Soapsuds]

Where are you getting the early word about CBS doing well??

[Y&RWorldTurner]

This is the same poster who expects one soap to gain a million viewers in the next few months....

Again, hard to be optimistic about these ratings when you consider the trends this past year...

[Soapsuds]

Well, it's hard for me to believe CBS did well. ATWT for the most part was boring last week. The week before was much better and it only maintained its ratings. Of course ratings are fickle. So who really knows. I can easily see all the shows dropping this week. I hope the poster is right. If he is wrong I will never trust him again...LOL

[BlueLick]

I heard B&B got a 2.8 too, but that might be a rumor.

What are your guys predictions for AMC for the end of this week and the week of October 20-24?

I think a 2.2 or 2.3 with an average of 2.8 million viewers is realistic.

[Soapsuds]

GH can barely get a 2.2. And ATWT got 2.1's last week for the best remote stuff in a long time and they didnt break the 2.2 range. I highly doubt AMC will get to the 2's.

[Soapsuds]

The AMC stuff is pure gimicks. I saw today's show and it was stupid. Greenlee and Ryan talking outside with looming bad weather on top of them...LOL. I found it laughable and unbelievable. Who in there right mind would be outside during a tornado warning/watch?
