Glad to see Y&R jump to a 4.0 again. The show is just firing on all cylinders.

And good for DAYS! Damn, they were close to getting that 2.2 huh? Even though I don't think DAYS is wonderful right now, I am enjoying some of the stories. It's the only soap left that I grew up with (AW & SB, where for art thou?) so I'm always happy to see it do well. I definitely don't want it to be cancelled anytime soon.

Speaking of cancellation, good for GL for holding steady. Though I've never been a fan, I don't think it's good for soaps for any of them to be cancelled right now, even if GL isn't my cup of tea.

Last Monday was President's Day so a lot of people were home from work and school. Six out of the eight soaps gained more viewers from Friday to Monday per Angela's info.

I guess Greenlee's cliff dive and the buildup to Bianca's exit got some viewers back. That means they may also see an increase for this week's episodes, although viewers may also run screaming.

OLTL has some good stories going on but the pacing is so bad. Some stories which suck go on forever while those which start to get good are wrapped up within a few weeks. Some of the leading characters at the moment (Gigi, Starr, John, Rex, Stacey, Marty) I find close to unwatchable. I don't know what to say about the show.

GL's losses in total viewers seem to be small week-to-week, but of course I wish they'd gone up. Since they didn't, holding steady isn't a bad thing. This week had some bad episodes but also had some very good soapy episodes (like Wednesday), which are harder and harder to find in daytime. I hope they will at least stay at 1.7, or close, and maybe that will be good enough to get a renewal. I just wish they would get Jeffrey outta there and end this Marina/Mallet story, and hurry up with getting Grady out and letting Jonathan find out the truth about Lara.

Happy for Y&R!

Hopefully GL can stay steady and with solid writing get back up there...

Lol ATWT is just sinking sinking...I'm hoping OLTL takes over. ATWT should just go ahead and get canceled. Guess all the negativity is truly showing up in the ratings. All the fans are leaving...even as a Nuke fan I find nothing interesting in the show anymore.

Shock of shocks RTR! We're in complete agreement. I guess I have the soap monkey off my back for now. I don't watch any of them.

The Market by Market breakdown was really interesting. I guess that shows why advertisers are still willing to purchase time in specific markets.

All they need is for someone to help RC learn how to tell a story (after all, stories are supposed to have endings) and to help him deal with some of the heavily compromised characters he has roaming around, like Todd. Many of OLTL's biggest problems stem from Frons. I hate to see a decent or potentially decent writer thrown out because of him.

ATWT probably doesn't help, but it's also difficult to get people interested in going back to a soap they gave up, or getting interested in a new soap, especially when GL has so many problems with affiliates.

This was an amazing week for GL! Look at that - 1.7 throughout the week!!! When was the last time that happened?

Good for AMC! The lesbians tuned in for Bianca and Reese. Good!

As for Y&R, I'm soooooooooooooooooo happy for them. They deserve it! I'm so proud to call myself a fan of Y&R.

    • 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.
