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.

    • 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.
