ALL: "We're Gonna Turn This Show Back Around!"

Oops, double post

Going hand-in-hand with that is Corday's unrealistic goal in 2003: "Our ultimate goal is to try to pull this industry up and reach a 4.0 or 5.0, the ratings we were getting in the early and mid 90's when Jim was writing the show before."

Dare to dream!

But GH has lost more viewers from last year around 10% which is more than any other soap. The demos declined and have only recently stabilized at a lower number. It has taken awhile, but GH is starting to circle the drain ratings wise. In contrast, Y&R has lost some overall viewers, but its demos have held firm.

I don't think that quality equals ratings, but I do think that a soap like any other tv show can drive away its few viewers faster with bad storytelling.

I was looking at We Love Soaps flashback and found an article about Hogan Sheffer. Haven't read all of it, but from what I've read so far, Hogan loves his dicks.

In the end, Sheffer decided, soaps were all about plot.

And that, right there, is the main problem w/ Mr. Sheffer.
