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.

    • Cady had a fairly posh accent or manner as Rosanna - the character was a 180 from Dixie when she went to ATWT, and it was a huge success initially. As someone mostly only familiar with the nagging, miserable or clueless Dixie of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s it was what convinced me Cady could act. I thought she was incredible in her first run. Later, in future stints, her hair and story and performances were all over the place but a lot of that was down to the show for me. She brought some of Rosanna back with her to Dixie in her ill-fated return and a lot of people didn't like it, which I understood but I did think the character needed some change. I think she's had a little bit of the same persona and arch performance in every role she's played since, including Jennifer Horton at DAYS or Kelly at Y&R, who later became a maniac and was easily the worst work I've ever seen Cady do. It has kind of infected her overall mannerisms, I'll allow that, but I do think she brought Dixie back together as herself while still evolving the character when she returned to AMC again in 2012-13. Nonetheless, for me the upshot is that this is a character where Cady's kookier recent performance style suits the role. But I can understand it grating for people.
    • Yeah, Loretta Swit's passing stings. My late dad LOVED the show (he died last November) and watched it religiously. In first run and repeats.  And I was literally born the day after the show's premiere, so I grew up with it! I know many loved later, softer Margaret, but I loved Early Hot Lips. In real life, I'm all for less misogyny, but to me, the early years of M*A*S*H were just funnier. May Loretta Swit rest in peace. Thanks for all the memories connected to my dad!

    • I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.

    • And here I thought I'd never think about Lauren Tewes again after her brief appearance in Twin Peaks Season 3.
    • I may be the single person who does not mind Transatlantic Campy Pamela. I think it perfectly suits this sort of Absolutely Fabulous-esque supporting character she's playing much more than it did when Cady tried weird and often broad stuff at AMC* or Y&R, or later stints at ATWT. She's not Dixie and she's not trying to be. I will freely admit some of the other chances she took at other shows often came off stiff, hammy or downright mortifying (Kelly Andrews, come on down). (* - and I say that as one of the few who was somewhat into Cady trying to make Dixie more cosmopolitan in the Rosanna Cabot mold in mid-2000s AMC, just to liven the character up again)
    • There’s absolutely nothing exciting happening storyline wise but I’m always happy to see the vets on my screen so I’ll take what I can get. It’s also just nice to see them all dressed up in the same room, it always gives classic Y&R vibes. The best part? No Phyllis.

    • Well now we had Ashley's reaction-and weren't we all gasping when she appeared to hate it-but she was just joking!! She loved it. Now we have to see Abby's reaction, and maybe Mamie could come back to say she loves it. How about Jill via Zoom giving her opinion (she'll love it) and bring in a day player to play Mrs Martinez to say she loves it also... I feel bad to keep dumping on this show (not really) but when the choices they make are so inane, it's the only entertainment value the show has. Let's unpack the Nikki birthday story. So Claire wants to throw her Nana a birthday bash as away of endearing Kyle to Victor. Don't quite get the logic there,but OK. She hires a party planner who makes ridiculous suggestions. Slightly annoyed that Y&R are hiring someone for this role for 5 episodes when we never see doctors, co- workers etc. But OK to that to. With all the talk we are expecting something special. What we get is the Jazz Lounge hideously decorated with some ugly tablecloths and a few tacky decorations. They needed a planner for this? Then the guest list consists of family members (no grandchildren)and a few others. Hardly a party. As usual the costuming is pretty awful. A red and black theme ? And our guest of honor is sporting a do that looks like a cross between Cameron Diaz in Something about Mary and Marie from Roxette. They should have had an intimate dinner and ditched all the fanfare. Would have been way more believable.
