That clock started ticking as soon as GL was canned.

I don't know how many GL viewers will go to other soaps. Many of the viewers left at GL were probably old time fans, and they usually did not switch. They will stay with CBS or just stop watching soaps. I think many of them will stop watching soaps. I know some CC fans will be watching DAYS, but I'm not sure if that will move numbers.

In all fairness, it was premiere week for the 2nd week in a row for most of the syndication shows and viewership was up for most of them so it's no surprise to see a boost in soap ratings. Even without the hype with GL's final week, The numbers would've been up due to the lead-in in earlier time spots in certain areas.

Normally, over the past year from what I see, when most syndication ratings are up, soap viewership goes down and vice verse. If syndication ratings are a mixed bag, soap ratings will be too. It's very rare that syndication and soap ratings would parallel with one another. I'm into what the ratings will be from a month from now.

I don't know where TPIR or the view ratings are at but for the most of the syndication ratings are posted at http://www.broadcastingcable.com/ on a weekly basis in the Syndication & Distribution section. You be amazed at how many shows get renewed with the numbers they're getting.

I'm surprise that many people hasn't know about this ratings trend.

Also, an another trend that I found out was pro wrestling programming on cable follow the same trend as I posted early. It has been a while since I focus on wrestling ratings to compare the pattern between that and soaps.

    • The kid's a violinist, he's not James Dean looking for trouble on the beachside streets of Port Charles.
    • After watching today's episode, I don't like how Dante came down on Gio for Rocco drinking. It is so contrived to have this sudden conflict just as the reveal of Gio's paternity is about to be revealed. It's just sloppy and lazy writing IMO.  
    • Don't forget, ”I want to struggle, but I also want to live in this huge, fabulous loft, in a town with one art gallery, and allow my wife and child's fortune to be controlled by her wicked stepsister!” wa wa wa Besides, what was Sam going to do to protect her?  Throw crayons at the guy? The actual daughter of Rachel and Mac would've told him to go throw on his cutoff shorts, paint a masterpiece, and leave the business stuff to people who own at least two pairs of trousers.

      Seriously, though, at what point does Iris learn that Evan is Janice's son?
    • Elliot is SOOOOO tasty in this period. He's so wicked. One of the reasons I stayed on with the show when I began watching. 
    • I can get through another 10 to 20 episodes. April is such a compelling character. The actress just owns the screen. I think this is also why I'm annoyed by Draper. Margo and April are so fantastic that Draper is a wet blanket (except for one scene which I mention below).   Draper was bearable in his scenes with Logan because he was not whining about the house. If he has more scenes with Logan, I can tolerate him. As of now, he's just very one note. Everyone has had more to do.  Thank you for explaining about Raven's backstory and her connection to Draper. It clears things up. Logan explained things a bit in the convo with Draper, but there was still some things I was not sure of. Gabet and Kibbee are just sensational. I now see why people adore Sharon Gabet. How did AW squander her talents? SMH.  It's the way Draper is written. I'm drawn to Eliot who is a total cheating pig. The writing and the performance are first-rate. Draper is stomping around like a spoiled child and I don't have the benefit of seeing April and Draper's relationship from the beginning so this is my first intro to Draper. He's annoying as can be. ========== There's also an African-American police officer who's struggling to walk again. He's Steve's partner. He took his first steps. I can't tell if they are writing him off or if he's going to say. I hope he stays because the actor is quite charismatic.
    • Oh no!  Did you not like the Susan character? She intrigued me from that one episode I skimmed through. What didn't you like about her?
    • The eternal dream...him begging to get with her included. 
    • On the other hand, I still find episodes of TV with people smoking in front of babies shocks me into nervous giggles.
