B&B has been so driven and emotional this week so I'm expecting a well deserved 2.8 or higher for the week of December 8-12. B&B continues to deliver at times the best writing and acting possible although OLTL has been the soap of the year hands down.

The red-headed stepchild has emerged out of AMC and GH's shadow and that's good for ABC b/c they need a strong middleman.

Believe when I say this, but if OLTL keeps up their good writing they'll be hitting a 2.4 or 2.5 on average at some point next year unless DTV has a huge effect on the soaps.

I'm enjoying DOOL on most days so it should be able to stabilize some.

GL is getting better, but the damn production format is hurting them big time just like AMC since 2006. If GL had the old format they would be getting ATWT type ratings.

I see the week of December 1-5, 2008 as a pretty big weak b/c the soaps need to be writing sweeps style year round now as they need to learn how to keep their audience in these weaker months like December.

I am enjoing The Young and the Restless too much for the first time in years, i am hooked on Kay/Marge s/l and Ashley's return. Watching on a daily basis now.

All My Children is good fun, GH too, I watch these two when i have some extra time on my hands, not always. Wish i could have SoapNet

I am VERY dissapointed with ATWT (my fav. soap for the past 2 years), Martha (old Lily) is unreplaceable. I hardly watch now, too bad. Also the new replacements (Craig and the other guy, don't do it for me.

I haven't watched GL in more than a year, that soap is very depressing to me. I am not coming back.

It is just gonna suck. I can feel it. I have not seen OLTL hold a gain like they have for the last 3 weeks. So I am just waiting for the drop back to the 1.9 or 2.0

I will be livid if OLTL falls as low as 1.9.

I am figuring AMC will get the 1.9 and OLTL will get the 2.0.

Or watch it will be one of those idiotic weeks where there is a 4 way tie.

Blah.

Y&R and OLTL are the only shows I am really pulling for at this point.

I hope God makes it happen. LOL!

You're right about about quality not equaling ratings, but I feel the best ingredient to succeed in that area is to have consistently good writing. Sometimes it takes over a year for people to pick on good writing. As long as OLTL continues their great quality their going to see it in their ratings big time. OLTL has already shown growth off their shows year to year in the ratings so they have something to go with.

The big thing we all need to start looking at since its right around the corner two months from now is the DTV switch. About 5-10% of the country is still not ready for the switch so that's going to hurt soaps very hard as my guess is that's about at least close to a million viewers for each soap.

In Canada we don't have to worry about that b/c that's an American law that forced people using attenas to switch over to digital as the networks are switching their signals from analog to digital. They have until February 17, 2009 to get a digital converter box, which replaces the attenas or they can use cable/satellite boxes or they will be receiving any channels or TV at all past that date.

I live in Canada myself, but the studio I go to receives American channels so I watch the soaps on CBS, ABC, and NBC or SoapNet instead of CTV, CBC, Global or other Canadian networks.

If those people don't get converters in time for February then soaps are going to be affected b/c a large amount of those viewers that don't have cable watch soaps during the day so its pretty scary right now once February rolls around.

For those of you that don't know, February sweeps has been moved to March b/c of the switch to DTV.

    • 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.
