I have been waiting for the bottom to drop out of OLTL, and it sure has. nearly 300,000 viewers? WOW.

GH and AMC are not faring that much better, but still. Wow.

I think all 3 shows need some real refocusing, changes that go beyond HD and lighting.

And only a lousy .2 over a show that has just been cancelled because of it demos.

GH is holding its 1.3. Which makes me ill.

Y&R bottomed out ... precipitously ... a year ago. That was the disastrous MAB/Griffith era. Fortunately, they have stabilized in the year since. The question is how long this plateau can last.

The other miracle is Days. That one...well...I think it proves that many of my assumptions about what makes a successful soap opera are false.

See this is exactly where AMC and GH should be, but AMC should be even lower. These tacky ass storylines of Pratt & Guza are having the fans tune out in droves. Let's hope they keep falling until someone other than Frons steps in to fix this mess.

I know we can't beat a dead horse and that GL has been cancelled, but they really aren't that much lower than other, more expensive shows. Yes, I know demos all play into it as well and GL has horrible demos, but it's very obvious that this coming year, after GL is gone, I think you'll see the remaining shows sink down to the level that GL is at now. And with their budgets much higher than GL's, there will be no choice but to cut the remaining shows budgets even further, which will compromise the quality and make the shows fall even further. It's a viscious circle.

I also think that you will see other shows, ATWT in particular, adapt some of the 'look' that GL has. There will be no choice because the viewers are tuning out, decreasing ad revenue and thus decreasing budgets. If you look at this week's ratings, GL had more viewers on Wednesday than GH had on Thursday. This doesn't bode well for the shows that will be on the air after GL signs off.

That's really bad for OLTL. It kind of bears out what I've been saying about the ratings lagging audience approval or acceptance by a few weeks. And that doesn't bode well for the next few weeks. I fear the bottom is getting ready to fall out.

    • 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.
