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.

      And not since. I recall it was quite small for a house that size. And I don't know why you would walk down a narrow corridor to get to the main living area. I hate when the sets on soaps don't have a logical layout! As for Andre his clothing is fashion forward and suitable for his character.He ain't gonna wear no blazer!

      The last I remember seeing Ben, he was divorcing Amanda. He came to tell Evie that he still loved her, but was leaving town so that Amanda wouldn't blame Evie for his divorcing her. I'm not exactly sure when, but Evie doesn't leave town until sometime after Nola and Quint's engagement ball. I'm not sure if she leaves before or after Justin leaves in Sept(?) of '83. I grew to like Helena when she became friends with Vanessa, once she's edging her way out of Quint's life.

      It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that.

      I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

      I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.

      Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.

      I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.
