[Errol]

Remind me why ratings are delayed? Monday wasn't a holiday.

[Toups]

They're not delayed....will post them in 5 seconds.

[Rakesh]

GL actually got some okay numbers but they are still terrible. Thanks Toups.

[alwaysAMC]

Ouch - looks like OLTL took the brunt of all ratings drop.

[Ann_SS]

ABC has those horrible reruns on Memorial Day so that is the reason for the drop. CBS had lower ratings on Memorial Day, but they weren't that bad. ABC should rethink their rerun strategy.

[DRW50]

I can imagine Michael waking up to hurl abuse at his pregnant mother for days on end didn't help...not to mention the awful Ethan story.

I'm sad for OLTL. There was some good stuff last week. The anticlimax of KAD probably didn't help keep viewers around. I hope they will tune in this week as the show has been very good.

[Mary Beth]

But the reruns don't count toward the ratings, I thought.

ABC soaps are down .2 and .3 in HH over last year, similar amounts in demos, and hundreds of thousands of viewers. IMO, ABC should rethink why Brian Frons still has a job.

[KSlater]

Thank you, Toups.

[Soapsuds]

Yeah, you're eating your supper.

Hmmm...Ed Fry returns as Larry..and ratings go up...nice to see ATWT go up when a former vet returns.

[Angela]

Those are the suckage for ABC, at least there's no way to go from there but up, err...maybe. I just envisioned all 3 ABC soaps hitting the big 2.3 million viewers next ratings release with that jinx statement, heh.

[Cyberologist]

I gave up years ago, when I first began to notice the butchery of this show

over the last few its been mind-boggling just absolutely horrid

the Luke dissing his relationship with Laura

and embracing a kid he wants to be his son while he ingores the one he has

probably didn't help

But I've read their ratings have "stablilized" from some posters so

I guess the 2.0 is the stabilizer...

RE: GH Re-Run strategy

I thought they re-thought it when they aired Kate shot at the alter re-run on a holiday but it didn't stop them re-airing Michaels shooting

I firmly believe they don't care. A family holiday they show a kid getting shot in the head..on Memorial Day when some fans have lost

loved ones ... not very smart.

[SteveFrame]

I was thinking that the soaps did pretty good last year on Memorial Day week, but I looked it up and they didn't do that great but not that bad either. Some of them actually made some substantial gains that week in viewers.
