Ya know, with Gl holding steady at a 1.7, I'm wondering what that means for the other shows. If it truly is as bad as we think and the other shows drop, could GL tie or even surpass a few of the others? Let's watch...

I can't say that I wasn't hoping for more.. but I'll look on the bright side in that all the other soaps dropped and GL held steady. If GL can have Otalia front and center with Phillip, the show really has a chance to pull in more and more new viewers. To me, this week was even better than last week and next week looks to be a big Otalia week! :D

What's funny is, no can take a joke...

Soap returns don't work anymore, find me a return, other than Vanessa Marcil, that's paid off in the ratings over the past 10 years?

GL staying the same in households and 18-49 is good, but the days of soaps rising significantly are over, deal with it.

Oh, and GL walked right into my joke with their tacky promotional campaign, and for that, I certainly have no apologies to make.

Every soap dropped except GL. I'd say that's good news for GL. I'd even venture to say that, given its budget vs those of the other, more expensively-produced shows, and how close its ratings are next to OLTL and AMC, that the ol' gal just may stick around for a while.

You are right, big splashy returns never work and never really have. However, perhaps it's some weird newfound optimism that I've found, but this is potentially great news. Although I think we all were hoping for some big jump, a one-week splurge means nothing. Nada. But if the show can continue to improve (and make no mistake, there are several areas in which it NEEDS to improve), then I can see the show rising gradually. In fact, considering that we are at a 1.7 heading into March sweeps could be quite good for the show if they can keep it up. Will they? That's for another time. But some of the rumblings have me guardedly hopeful.

BTW: In a related note, what IDIOTS the Neilson Co. are for moving the sweeps to March, when typically most shows slump in the ratings, daytime included. If GL can rise in these conditions, that would be an incredible feat.

GL Holding Steady at 1.7 is great. Let's just hope they continue to build on that and keep delivering good writing. Eventually David Kreizman's remaining stories will be phased out and JLH will have a firm grip on the writing. With Mindy and Michelle returning and others in the works GL might have fighting chance to survive to 2010.

    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
    • Kinda agree. I have some issues with the sets. Nicole's living room is bland-looks like a display home. Bill and Hayley's is too small and basically hideous. And neither of them have a front door/entrance or staircase. People just appear from the corridor. Those green accents  at Uptown are way too much. Also,Naomi and Vanessa not having an office or a home .
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That Grainger story always reads like hog-wild melodrama, not very similar to the more subtle stories for Rita in her last few years. I wonder how Lenore played the material.
