MLK Day, President's Day, winter weather & storms, Mid-Winter & Spring Break, and March Sweeps could raise the already rising soap ratings during the three months.

The ratings will be interesting for the week of both January 5-9, 2009 and January 12-16, 2009 because weather is getting pretty bad in most of the country meaning some asses will be at home during the day. Also meaning ratings will be going up for all soaps. I think during one of the two weeks you're going to see Y&R push over 4.0 for the first time since February. B&B is getting back on track to so a 2.9 or 3.0 is possible. For ATWT and GL their ratings will go up a point each. GL is very close to reaching a 1.8 one of these days, I believe with Edmund and Phillip returning we should see a rise in their ratings in February. People can't wait for Phillip to return so a 1.8 is definitely approachable.

ABC's AMC should be able to reach a 2.3 for the first time in months, OLTL a 2.4, and GH a 2.4, but a 2.5 probably won't come until the next sweeps period in March.

The soap that has the biggest chance to rise is DAYS, call me crazy, but this show is on its way to a 2.6 before we hit April. Between DAYS and Y&R these two shows have turned it around after a bad 2007 and 2008 for both shows. This year looks bright for both shows. If DAYS can stabilize between 2.2 and 2.4 the next two weeks then we can see this show steadily rising as some of the storylines are about to breakout big time. NBC made the right decision in keeping it around and I feel like those viewers that heard about the show's future are now feeling like its safe to watch it again.

With sweeps being in March this year, the soaps will have a three month window to reach heights that have propelled the genre to faster declines in the last three years. Late March also means Spring Break so for the first time the kids will be able to see watchable storylines during Spring Break.

For those of you looking for my soap ratings analysis column, they will be coming back either for next week's ratings or the week's after for sure. I thought it would be appropriate to give you guys a little forecast on what you can expect from the soap ratings these next three months. Sorry about not having them the last couple of weeks.

I'm sorry, but I don't believe for a minute that Any of the ABC soaps will reach the 2.3/2.4/2.5 range except for maybe GH. No way will AMC or OLTL reach that range. AMC is more balanced but the current stories are horrid. The Rylee crap is enough to make anyone turn off their tv. Kendall waking up is big news, but not enough to raise the roof on the ratings considering how Josh is being killed off. I see AMC staying put in the 2.0/2.1 range during March sweeps.

I can see OLTL reaching the 2.2 range. I like the current drug storyline, and I like that Matthew is finally being used.

There is no way that OLTL will ever hit a 2.4. The show would be lucky to hit a 2.1 and keep the rating (maybe alternating between a 2.1 and 2.2) And even that is near impossible. And I am huge OLTL fan right now. I really feel ABC has lost their core audiences and it is all about grabbing new viewers to get any ratings spikes..

The longest sustained growth OLTL showed was during November sweeps- It was a 2.2, 2.1, 2.1, 2.1 I think... and then they started dropping into the 2.0 and I am sure 1.9 is just around the corner.

I think AMC and OLTL will be lucky to get 2.1 and GH a 2.3.

And I don't even see that happening.

To me, Days is the show to watch ratingswise. I think this huge buildup lately leading to Drake and Deidre's leaving is pretty cool to see (And I loathe Dena and have no desire to watch Days- its not my thing) But I think they are going to continue getting a 2.2 and 2.3- And I cannot wait to see the ratings after those two vets leave. If Dena was smart she would be writing a MUST SEE show that viewers are going to want to stick around and watch after those two icons leave. I think Days has a large group of viewers who will come back. ABC does not have this.

I totally see Days as the new #3 show and getting excellent demos. Not AMC, OLTL, or GH.

As far as Y&R- The show will be lucky to hit a consistent 4.0 but I think it can be done. I would love to see Y&R at a 4.1 or something....

I really don't get how these ratings could be acceptable to ABC- their precious jewel GH (which lost its luster years ago) at a 2.1??

OLTL 2nd to last in viewership, DVR, 18-34, and barely reaching the top half anymore for 18-49..

and AMC in roughly the same area.

I went off on a tangent. Only two shows in my eyes that are going to show any growth are Days (possibly ALOT) and Y&R (not alot but some)

The rest other than B&B? I think its going to be a slow descent into cancellation.

The ABC shows got good demographics (OLTL best in 2 months, AMC best since Feb/May), but unless the total viewer average is wrong (typo) they went down in total viewers.

I don't understand the hype about Days rising and rising to a permanent #3. I really believe the inflated numbers for Christmas & New Year's Week were because the kids were home from school, and that's the one show they migrate to. Dee & Drake leaving might give them a momentary bounce, but I see them staying in the same 1.9-2.1 range as AMC, ATWT & OLTL when all is said and done.

I agree with you, LoyaltoAMC. But those who chart the numbers closely disagree. They have a decent foundation for their argument, but my gut's telling me there's nothing substantial about the gain. We'll see. I'm awfully curious to see where that show winds up in a couple of months.

Thrilled for Y&R. How amazing would it be to see a show get a 2.0 again in the demo that counts the most? Now THAT would be something to hold on to.

You think? I would guess it lost .1 ratings point. What was its 18-49 last week?

It will probably be at a 2.1 or 2.2..

I am very anxious to see Y&R's- My guess is a 3.9 with at least 2- 4.0 or 4.1 days!

And if Y&R can get a 3.9 or 4.0 during a relatively blah week- anything is possible (Even with weather/holidays/whatever)

Maybe a consistent 4.1 or 4.2 beginning by March sweeps.

    • 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.
