Pretty interesting week for soaps during November 17-21, 2008. This is probably the most important week of the year for soap ratings, but you can make the argument that the week of November 10-14, 2008 was the most important. The reason why I'm saying this week is pretty damn important is b/c its going to be pretty interesting to see what soaps are going to be able to stabilize, go up, or decline hard.

The ABC Soaps have alot of momentum going and it'll be pretty important to see if AMC and OLTL either stabilize or go up, but if they go down that's not good. GH had a huge week with the mob war and Elizabeth/Jason fire stuff so they should be going up.

The CBS Soaps are having a soft sweeps period and Y&R has not lifted the lineup enough to reflect a growth in the ratings. If Y&R does not stabilize at 3.6 or go up then I'm expecting some pretty low numbers from each of their soaps. B&B is starting to become watchable again.

The most interesting of the soaps belongs to DAYS and NBC. They had a really interesting week with heavy promotion of DOOL in prime time during Sunday Night Football, which is the network's current high-rated program. The Nick/Melanie stuff was done pretty good and the soap has been good all month long so the show deserves a growth for becoming watchable again. I expect at the very least a 2.0 or 2.1, but a 2.2 or 2.3 is very possible.

Can't wait to see them!

I am hoping for a 2.1 for OLTL- I was also hoping for the highest viewers on ABC like last week, but I forgot about GH and all of the mob s-it. I am hoping that OLTL will semi-maintain the prior week's ratings with at least a 2.1. The show was stellar.. if the show frops below 2.1, It is not good.

Y&R 3.6-3.7. I just want to see it edge back up to 4.0. It deserves it.

B&B- The show is more watchable, I loved the comedic stuff with Stephanie and whatshername- but for the most part the show is a terribly acted, completely cliched, boring- mess. The most overrated show on this planet. Yeah I know what is coming up with the accident- but I will not hold my breath.

I don't watch any of the other shows.. I frankly hate to see Days rewarded in the ratings. It deserves to drop like a stone so MAYBE that show can learn the error of its ways. It is almost too late.

Will be interesting to see if the Ryan/Annie stuff was enough to hold viewers. Love MCE, but not fond of the storyline. I'm really not feeling the Pratt love. I find the show only mildly better than under Babs and Jimbo, mostly because of Pratt's better pacing. Almost everything about the show, from the couplings to the stories, still seems SO forced, contrived, and gimmicky. I have a soft spot in my heart and I want it to succeed, but I just can't get into it.

I think if AMC can gain its footing, it also helps OLTL and GH slightly..

I have never been an AMC fan (was my mom's show, not mine) but I did tune in in highschool during the Natalie/Janet in the well storyline that drove AMC up to #2 in the ratings.

I hear such mixed reviews on AMC. Some say is its vastly imrpoved, some say its a mess...

Just from what I have read, I am not a Chuck Pratt fan. Melrose Place does not a good writer make in my book.

Why are you hoping for this? Are you a GL fan?

I am very interested in GL's ratings, because GL is now the canary in the coal mine.

Every soap will continue to trend down and reach new lower plauteaux. So, the question is whether GL has now reached a 1.4 plateau, or whether it will still hover around 1.5 for a while.

Given the 30% viewer loss in the last year, and the 21% in the key demo, GL is getting very close to the threshold where nothing can make it viable. As I recall (am I right?) it was renewed through Sept 09, with an option till Sept 10. If that is correct, my guess is that a decision will start to get made between now and March 09 about the one-year extension. Although I realize CBS might not announce a final decision until closer to the summer...

But for me the performance of GL between now and March is pivotal.

GL is really an important soap on a number of levels. First, if it fails, it will show that "lower cost experiments" do not catch on with viewers or lure new viewers. That, then, closes a cost reduction strategy for the other soaps. Second, if daytime's most venerable soap is cancelled...and there are not pickets outside CBS (there won't be...GL has fewer staunch advocates than AW had when they were cancelled), then that could embolden networks with other chestnut soaps to more strongly consider cancellation.

The two direct dominoes to fall, if GL is cancelled, would seem to be DAYS and ATWT. For DAYS, if NBC gets the signal that even CBS is paring down soaps, that will affirm for them that their business strategy (to kill Days) makes sense. DAYS has more ardent fans, but still... ATWT would seem to be in jeopardy for several reasons: [a] is it profitable for P&G/Telenext to make just one soap? ATWT is declining at the same rate as GL, but costs a lot more...since making it cheaper does not seem to be viable, it might just be time to cut bait; and [c] ATWT/GL are kind of a "pair" for CBS (just as the Bell soaps are), and so losing one of the pair makes it harder to sell the other one. It doesn't have an appropriate lead-in or follow-on show anymore.

So, for this week's ratings, I am beyond eager to see if GL stayed at 1.4, or if it can still pull off a 1.5.

    • 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.
