You can't see me, but I'm doing my happy dance right now. This is the day that Liv all but confessed her feelings for Nat to Doris. I am so happy happy joy joy and hope GL really takes notice and realizes the gold mine they have in Otalia. Don't screw this up GL! Combine that with Phillip's return...........................

Nothing seems to be working for GH. GH is so unwatchable it's a travesty. I cringe every time Robin ignores Emma and leaves her crying, coupled with the fact that Robin comes off more as someone who's selfish/heartless/cruel and NOT someone suffering from post depression. They need to wrap this up quickly because that baby stuck in a tree in a raging blizzard would be dead by now and Robin is still completely unattached. This is now hat viewers want to see. Add another duplicate of a sweep stunt that we just saw a few months ago and GH isn't far off from a 2.0.

It's sad what's happening to OLTL. The show was on a role a few weeks ago and now it's just teetering. There isn't one storyline that is captivating or engaging.

I won't even bother commenting on AMC. ABC needs a complete overhaul. Frons must GO. It's not a mantra, it's not fan squawking, it's just the plain awful truth. If he continues to head ABC Daytime there will be nothing left.

Is this the first time GH has lost and lost viewers for these yearly stunts?

I don't want to see OLTL lose to GL, and I don't expect they will. GL is in a tough position with timeslots. That's why I'm pleased with what they have now. I just want to see GL continue to improve in quality, as it has this week (and if it's true Grant Aleksander has dictated writing choices, then good for him because his return has been very good so far). 1.7 is better than I expected. I'm hoping they can at least keep 1.7 with Phillip's return. I wish they'd had Otalia on more often this week as they seem to boost the ratings. GL has not promoted this storyline and yet unlike the AMC turkey, viewers still manage to find and enjoy it.

Wednesdays are becoming a golden date for soaps as their ratings are spiking up hard on that day. Well except America's Bogus Company.

ABC Daytime needs to get their fuckin' act together as its starting to get depressing to look at their ratings. I think ABCD may need to rebrand that whole lineup soon. The truth is that the soaps quality wise are in decent shape, but many fans are still displeased. ABC lives off that demo really hard so they don't pay attention to the drop in the ratings unfortunately. That's what you guys get for not going to HD.

I think the biggest story of the year might be GL's turn around in '09. GL is turning things around big time and it reminds me of when DAYS was dead in the water in '07 & '08 and turned it around in late '08. I predicted that GL would be hitting a 1.8 around the time Phillip returned with Edmund. Besides the casting the stunts the real gold for this soap has been Natalia and Olivia's relationship as they have brought in a growing audience. With Y&R's recent uprise in the ratings GL should start seeing a 2.0 surpassing ABC's soaps and become the 6th place soap sometime before this fall.

ATWT has picked things up too so a renewal for both shows is coming.

DAYS & Y&R are fantastic! I'll talk more in-depth about each soap later on.

I am a bit disappointed in Y&R's ratings. I did not expect the ratings to go down or the # of viewers to drop that way from the previous week. The viewership was steady but very stagnant considering what the 2 focal points of that week was. Yeah, CBS shouldn't be elated or giving themselves a pat on their shoulders about their shows at all!! They are taking major hits in the pocketbook!! Expect a lot more trimming of the fat sort of like making an airplane as light as possible so that it can go a long distance without crashing!! <_<

Given that the huge gain in last week's ratings were due to the winter storm, a soap that was able to keep any of those viewers should be happy. No matter how people try to claim otherwise, the weekly fluctuations are due to random external events like the weather not the quality of the show or the stories featured that week.

    • 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.
