[ATWT_GL_fan]

ATWT might not be off cbs for long if it gets picked up from another network, I just hope it does cause I like ATWT, but it needs to change alot of things.

I wonder if any of the amazing quality of the week-long Frank/Natalia non-wedding last week on Guiding Light, and Olivia and Natalia revealing their love for each other, will even be reflected in the ratings. My heart says please yes, and my brain says probably not.

Same here, ATWT_GL_fan!

Even a 1.7 would be nice for GL.

Oh look! The just cancelled show will tie with OLTL! How fortuitous.

[Kwing42]

It would be great to see the GL ratings rise and rise and rise lol

OT: So are all the fan campaings and so on for GL dead? Not a word anywhere about them anymore!?

[dragonflies]

Eh I think AMC is the next soap to be cancelled, I can see it hitting a 1.7 before OLTL ever does

[ATWT_GL_fan]

How is that Zendall Fan OLTL got a 1.8 when we got the ratings last week so how can AMC get that when they were a 1.9 and OLTL gets the lowest ratings of the 3 abc soaps most of the time I dont see that happening I could be wrong tho.

[NYC123]

IA. OLTL will be the first to be canned of the three daytime soaps.

[marceline]

It should be but it will probably be AMC because OLTL is cheap. They grind out the dramatic sausage so effectively that the studio goes dark from time to time and they still manage to come in under budget.

I think OLTL's time slot will keep it safe. If ABC canceled it, there would be a gaping hole between AMC and GH, and both shows would be negatively impacted. For once the neglected "middle child" may actually benefit from its time slot.

[buttoneer]

I don't think there's any serious talk over at OLTL about it being cancelled--as opposed to all the behind-the-scenes worrying that's gone on for years at GL and ATWT.

[amazing7]

ZF, I totally agree with you. It's AMC dropping to a 1.7 and getting cancelled before OLTL. Look at AMC's recent recast of the legend Liza Colby Chandler. Pratt/Frons hired some porn actress to recast Liza who they think will save the day for them. How much lower can AMC go? The 1.7 is on it's way. AMC has become cheap and disgusting. I know some on this board think I want AMC to get cancelled or fail, but that 's not the case it's the writing and these stunts, no character storylines and recasts like the porn actress for Liza Colby Chandler that's killing AMC. What the hell has happened to this once classy show?

[rhinohide]

In the last year or so, AMC has trailed OLTL in the ratings many many times.

[Gray Bunny]

When did Jamie Luner do porn? I'm not straight, but I might wanna see that

[Daphne]

I am deeply concerned about what OLTL's numbers are going to be.

[rangethatrover]

AMC, until last week, has kept its momentum of the 100,000 viewers or so it has gained. Its viewership numbers are becoming more and more consistent as the #1 ABC soap.

OLTL's audience has always been more "volatile" and in my opinion less loyal- rightly/wrongly/whatever

I stand by the fact that despite OLTL making more money, it will still be the first show to go. All that money saved would allow them to get AMC into financial shape. Losing any one of the three shows is gonna save a huge amount of money.

Me too. I could take months to dig outta last weeks hole. -260,000 viewers or something sounds like pissed off or bored audience members.

I kinda like Stacey so that's just me. The show's balance seems strange.
