Online fans who are less than .00001 percent of the audience may be attached to couple may stop watching if they leave or breakup. However, most people who watch are offline. They watch and stop watching for a variety of reasons. I bet they don't bat an eyelid when any of these popular couples leave. We'll know for sure in a few months when Zach and Kendall and Victor and Nikki are gone.

No but I don't believe it will have that great an impact and I don't believe it will on Y&R with Victor leaving either. I don't for one second believe the general online fan is representative of the norm. There is such a group mentality. You have a few vocal posters and the majority seem to just follow them and ape their opinions. I don't even believe the online audience is as big as some thing because it's just the same posters for the most part posting on different message boards.

Offliners just go with the flow. I don't buy that they are as obsessed or invested as onliners. I certainly wasn't when I was offline.

And I do think AMC as overestimated Zach and Kendall. Patrick and Robin on GH supposedly their most popular couple has not done a thing for GH ratingswise in fact their PPD story actually occured during a time that ratings dropped.

If anyone would impact ratings I think it would be Victor on Y&R not even Victor and Nikki. He's an icon on that show and if anything they might lose some older viewers. But these shows don't care about the old farts anyway right?

i skip most fridays, and so do a lot of my family friends. and this is why...

mondays are better. lol. i am bust on fridays and i find that mondays usually recaps everything i need from fridays show. fridays shows dont usually deliver anyhing. it will end with say, Nicole on days being busted. But on monday ill get that same scene in the first part and the fallout. if i have to pick a day to miss it will always be friday.

IA. Most people I know offline don't get caught up in couples or characters.

There is no comparison between Zach and Kendall and Robin and Patrick. GH revolves around the mob, not Robin and Patrick. Even when they have a hot story, they barely get any airtime so there is no way that they can impact the ratings either way. Besides I don't believe that couples or characters can impact the ratings in any meaningful way, period.

Awesome! Most soaps either the same or better in total viewers year to year. More weeks like this please. The daytime soap industry isn't going down without a fight!

I think it's because the daily ratings we see are Live+Same Day. On Friday, people have the weekend to watch if they taped an episode, so they don't watch the episode on the same day.

I rarely post here but I find your words offensive. Are you Fronsie? I’m not an ape that can be trained by other fans or posters on line. I am able to form my own opinion.

I stopped watching soaps when AW got canceled. I had my faves yet could still enjoy the entire show. A few years later my daughter was watching AMC, and I heard TK’s voice and then saw Zach and Kendall together. They had me watching a soap again. I already knew AMC and it’s characters because I used to watch AMC off and on. I probably knew AMC better than Day’s since I can remember watching a teenage Erica. When I came back, I actually enjoyed watching the entire show. Not now though, most of the writing is nothing but crap. I have never seen a show written like this one.

When TK and AM leave, I leave. I’m thankful they are leaving so I don’t have to watch this crap. It’s my choice. I realize it won’t change the ratings when I and others stop watching because they leave. I simply won‘t and don’t care. As long as the hack is writing this show, I will not watch it again. I may tune in to see a fave leave though around Easter.

    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.

        FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM AUGUST 1973 & NOVEMBER 1973:
    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975. 
    • No. Ed and Holly were married and having problems. She had an affair with Roger and that's when Christina--Blake--was conceived. The rape happened much later, after Holly and Roger were married.
