Where do you get the time?

Where do you get the time?

[MichaelGL]

I too hope GL goes up. It's managed to make me tune in and invest in the stories again, something I haven't done in years.

[NYC123]

IMO GL still sucks....There's really nothing I enjoy except Phillip's return....

[Dan]

I love how we are all just circling this thread waiting for the ratings. 36 users in this thread and not even a rating post in sight.

[Phoenix11]

Dan - Haha... I swear I keep coming back here every two minutes... just hoping something's there!

I soooooooooooooo want GL to have gone up last week!! I'm nervous thinking about it though!

[Kwing42]

If the ratings are not released soon there will be a riot!

[Jonathan]

Toups, I think I'm going on a hunger strike again. Where are they?

[Kwing42]

those network clowns will probably make us wait until Monday lol

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Looks like a bad week...

But, I'm not really surprised, after the high peak two weeks ago and the soaps didn't really suffer that badly last week. They were bound to go down significantly this week.

[jfung79]

I'm still holding out hope for a 1.7 or better for GL for the week.

[Phoenix11]

jfung79 - Me too. GL hit 1.7/1.8 on Otalia days the week before. I want to see them build on that with Phillip's return/Coop's death! I would hate to see it go down when it's been soooooooo good!
