The biggest day was Tuesday. The day Phillip arrived at Beth's wedding. Even though there are no 1.4 etc....the total viewers are still way too low. Only Tuesday had almost 2.5 million. The rest were close to under the 2 million mark.

GL

Monday: 1.6/2,102,000

Tuesday: 1.8/2,438,000

Wednesday: 1.7/2,252,000

Thursday: 1.7/2,110,000

Friday: 1.6/2,137,000

According to last week message board news, P&G Blog site and CBS.com, "Guiding Light" was pre-empted on WCBS-TV 2 in New York City and was re-aired at 2am. This explains the 1.6 rating on Monday and I would speculate if it wasn't for the pre-emption GL could've achieved either 1.8-2.1 on Monday because NYC is the largest television market in U.S.; the overall week ratings could've been a 1.8 or a 1.9.

**Sorry Rakesh, didn't see your earlier post on this particular pre-emption issue.

There seems to be a huge downward trend for soaps this week so I don't think AMC was gonna get good ratings no matter what was on. But its true that its very hard to invest in that wedding for a lot of reasons. First, Reese and her relationship with Zach are unpopular, a lot of people were angered by the Zach/Reese kiss which was spoiled in the promos. You have the awful and unpopular babygate story that surrounds it.Then you have the fact that a lot of people already knew Eden Riegel was leaving. Then there's the fact that Bianca and Reese's relatonship has been undermined and underdeveloped for the past four months. There's the character assassionation of Bianca (and Zach). It could have been a decent story but they really messed it up.

I completely agree! This is a clusterfuck on top of a clusterfuck, which is Pratt's MO. LOL maybe we all IMAGINED this, I mean isn't that what Craputhers told us? :rolleyes:

I think people were turned off by alot of things, especially one half of the LESBIAN couple swapping spit with a MAN and dreaming of MARRYING him the day of HER wedding

Looks like Pratt's doing worse than B&E. I don't see how they can justify keeping him around with ratings like these.

GL. They recieved eight 1.7's in 5 months prior to the past 3 weeks. In the past 3 weeks they got eight 1.7's or above. It's improvement, but the story will only be telling 2-3 months from now - were these a couple of 1.7 weeks and then back down to 1.4-1.6? To early to call this one.

Friday seemed to be one of the lower-rated days this week for all the soaps. I think viewers are probably not in the mindset these days where they'll tune in sustained numbers every day. Hopefully the numbers will be an increase for the next week, unless Coop's death was too depressing for people (or unless the stories didn't connect).

I know we can't be happy about 1.7 but to be honest I was almost expecting the ratings to go down when viewers realized Phillip's return wasn't going to be a huge OTT event and was more character-driven. I was afraid they would see his return as an anticlimax. At least the numbers held steady. People will only stay with GL if the show is sold well and is a good package overall, which is a big problem with most of today's soaps...I think it's getting there, but these days I know that may not translate in ratings. I just hope they're doing well enough to be renewed. I don't think in ratings or quality they warrant cancellation at the moment.

As for AMC, I bet Frons will blame the lesbian wedding, and nothing else, for the ratings. Never mind that this whole story has been so offensive on so many levels that I don't know how many people were going to tune in, unless they had heard nothing about the actual story and just wanted to see a lesbian wedding.

    • 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.
    • More from 1976 Lynn, apparently making every effort to overcome her alcoholism, accepts a baby-sitting job. However, when the baby starts crying, Lynn begins to get nervous and takes one drink, then another. By the time Bruce and Van arrive home, Lynn is on the floor, ineffectually trying to find the doctor’s number, sure the baby is ill. When the mother arrives; she vows to let everyone know what goes on in the mayor’s house.Bruce insists that Lynn has to go, but Van, learning that Lynn can’t remember drinking the cooking sherry, calls Joe to report Lynn’s blackouts. Joe wants her institutionalized but gives in to Van’ s pleas that Lynn needs loving attention. Eddie has sent some of Felicia’s work to a New |York gallery owner and reports to Charles that Lisa Cooper wants to exhibit Felicia’s work. Charles refuses to tell her this and later admits he feels he has “cowed”her attention because of his being confined to a wheelchair. What Charles doesn’t say is: that he’s plagued with fears she’ll leave him for another man. Felicia is exuberant as she starts painting again. She tells Charles how she feels about it, but, jealous of anyone or anything that takes attention from him, Charles tries to undermine her confidence. Eddie finally professes his love for her. He will be happy to step forward if she will only let Be and admit that they belong together. Charles tries to stop Felicia’s ‘trip to New York by making her doubt her own work, and when that fails, he finds business reasons at his bookshop to keep Di, his ex-wife, who is running it for him, from accompanying her. Felicia finally decides it’s not going to work and tells Eddie they might as well call it off. Instead, he arranges for Lisa Cooper to come to Rosehill. Charles is rude and insulting to Lisa when she arrives at the house to view Felicia’s work, and his derogatory remarks about shady gallery dealings prompt Lisa to tell Eddie that living in such an atmosphere could permanently stunt an artist’s development; if Felicia is subjected to this indefinitely, it’s not even worth Lisa’s while to take her on as a client. Felicia finally decides she can’t be torn apart any longer and must accede to Charles’s demands. She tells Eddie her career is over and she won’t paint any more, breaks down in his arms, crying bitterly, then pulls away, unwilling to acknowledge that her feelings for him are deeper than she dare face. Charles is delighted when she prepares to dispose of her art supplies, insisting everything will be fine once she has accepted that this part of her life is over. But she cannot do it. She promises him that he can set the limits and terms, but she must paint. Arlene discovers that her mother is planning to avoid the surgery she needs, and the accompanying medical bills, by leaving Rosehill and moving in with her sister Dorothy out west. Arlene manages to prevent this by calling her aunt and telling her the truth about Carrie’s condition. Dr. Tom Crawford has been footing the costs of Carrie’s presurgery tests, but Arlene knows that Carrie won’t like this. So she tells Carrie that David Hart, the son of Meg’s late husband, the former mayor, has heard about their plight and forwarded the money as a gesture of friendship, to be repaid when possible. To convince Carrie that she does indeed have the money, Arlene asks Ray to just lend it to her for a few hours, so she can convince Carrie and then immediately return it. Ray instructs her to get dressed for a night on the town and takes her, out implying that the money will be waiting at the end of the evening. When Ian Russell happens to join them, Arlene doesn’t suspect anything is afoot, but when e Ray suddenly leaves, she becomes furious, realizing what he’s done. But she finds Mr: Russell a distinguished and cultured man, and decides there’s no harm in having a drink. After cocktails and stimulating conversation, Ian suggests that they go to his place, and Arlene agrees. But when they get there, Ian matter of factly suggests that they skip the preliminaries and get on with it. Ian is embarrassed and annoyed to discover that Arlene is not a professional call girl and that Ray didn’t explain to her the purpose of their |meeting. He is apologetic and solicitous, until Arlene, explaining why Ray felt he could pull this on her, mentions her sick mother in need of an operation. Ian starts to laugh at this overworked standard line, and a livid Arlene storms out of his apartment. Thinking it over, Ian decides he’s more intrigued with Arlene than he is annoyed at Ray, and calls Ray for her telephone number. But Arlene is not delighted to hear from him, and he has to use a good deal of soothing charm before she agrees to have dinner with him at one of the better local restaurants.During dinner Ian again apologizes for his mistake, and he gives Arlene a diamond pendant as a token of his gratitude for her forgiving him. Ray arrives to interrupt an otherwise enjoyable evening with a business matter, and quietly reminds Arlene that Ian is his customer and she’s not to cut herself in with him. At home, Arlene examines the pendant and is convinced that it’s genuine. She hides it in her dresser drawer, unable to bring herself to show it to her mother.
