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.

    • There's some irony in Philip being forgiven, because it forces everyone to admit that Victor was wrong to change his will.  Everyone, eventually including Xander, (I presume), seems to think it was wrong for Victor to divide his estate in Xander's favor.  I appreciated Stephanie forgiving Philip, because she's got no skin in that game.  But, Belle's line about Philip missing Xander because he misses Bo did not ring true.  I think Philip would be sad if Bo dies, but I think he's more concerned currently about Xander. I am enjoying this EJ mystery so much that I am hereby taking a vow not to read spoilers.  I am also vowing — for the last time — to stop harping on this, but: the concept of a “sepsis treatment” remains absurd. Hospitals prevent sepsis through vigilant infection control; once sepsis sets in, it causes multiple organ failures. Treatment involves supporting each failing organ individually. The notion that a single medication could magically reverse organ failure is medically laughable. However, I like the contrast of Kim going through cancer, which is incurable in their universe.  Kayla's comment on the health of both of her siblings was both heartbreaking and an interesting twist.  MBE is also totally underrated.  She is carrying the weight of so many stories.   And, I like the use of Kayla as an audience surrogate.  She's arguably the most "real" person in Salem. Kayla isn't psychic, she wasn't SORASed, she's not a billionaire, and she doesn't have a bionic eye.  So, I enjoy that we get her perspective of the nuttiness that surrounds her.
    • But why worry about something that might not happen? Right now, most things revolve around the Duprees. We have no idea if or how long that will continue. For now, it's working.
    • The Duprees not having any staff is a bugbear for me. They've included the background staff at the Country Club but no one at the Dupree home. Even just an extra bringing in a tray of food/drinks or responding to a request from Anita would suffice.
    • Shut up, Dante and Lois.  I actually don't mind this particular soap trope, but in the context of this storyline, it just feels forced and unnecessary. If anything, this Dante/Gio tension needed to begin months ago. Plus, this storyline, in general, isn't doing Lois any favors either.  Emma comforting Gio was really sweet though. It's definitely time for the two of them to have their first kiss. And, Joss playing Secret Agent Barbie will just never work.
    • Note to makeup - Smitty’s eyebrows, bad clamshell look.

    • Okay I can buy that when Brook Lynn was a teen.  Now she knows the child is a boy one would think she'd be slightly suspicious.  Then again, Gio looks nothing like either of them so maybe not lol.
    • I've been behind & just got caught up & the last 3 days were amazing!
    • Yeah.  The hot, poor bad boy with a chip on his shoulder but with a heart of gold was a common soap trope in the 80s

    • That's been an issue with me... the lack of a cohesive 'Have Not' crowd that has focus other than Leslie/Eva.   I would beef up Jan, Mona, Laura, Joey, and few other male characters.. and not just be out to overthrow the Duprees.. but co-existing and broadening the scope of the show since the show is called Beyond the Gates. I think the set up the show has with everything revolving around the Duprees will become predictable especially if they always win.   It would be like Victor Newman on Y & R for 40+ years.. always winning, hardly ever losing.   With MVJ/Guza.. both trained under that mindset... I fear that will happen.   I've always heard from a performer that is playing a character like Leslie/Dana that you have to find the victim/hurt beneath the surface in order to play a villain/villainess... and I think that's why I enjoy watching her.. because she brings so much more to the part than what the writers put on the page.
    • I figure that was really hard for Dom to do. I completely GET why they wrote it the way they did but I wonder if it was necessary. Meanwhile I have 2 really icky ideas in my head. Drew is going to blame Tracy KNOWING it was not her. Dante is going to blame Lulu.  After that, everyone else is going to be mad at Lois.  Tracy is going to double down on wanting to get rid of Sonny. Sonny's going to be more dug in to stay because he now has a new descendant.
