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.

    • 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.
