The soaps typically get a big bounce during the Christmas/NY Holiday weeks so I wouldn't be surprised about the 3.9 (and all soaps being up), but yeah got to see it from our great Toups first.

True, they've had similar trends during the Holiday's ratings-wise over the past couple of years.

2008:

1. Y&R 5,385,000 (+131,000/-328,000)

1. Y&R 3.8/11 (+.1/-.3)

2007:

1. Y&R 5,752,000 (+93,000/-76,000)

1. Y&R 4.2/12 (+.1/-.1)

I guess I can take solace in the fact that it was due to people being home for the holiday's and not because of anything this horrible and disastrous writing team at Y&R was putting out and calling "soap opera writing."

Or... If Angela is right... After 3.9 it might touch a 3.2 in January!!!

We can only hope. :)

Sorry, but with all YnR's problems, it beats GH by miles. General Hospital is horriffic.

I think all too many viewers are done with ABC soaps. It's a shame how all three have fallen. At least AMC is trying to lure back their viewers. GH and OLTL- any hope? Doubtful to me.

Sad but true. People can hate on Pratt, Carlivati and Guza individually but there's a "vibe" that pervades the whole ABC line up that's driven people away.

AMC might be trying, but many are turned off by the horrific Ryan & Erica pairing *shudders*

They're both horrific shows in similar and in distinct ways.

Unless the ratings start falling soon, outside of the holiday season...

But then again, you enjoy this team's "writing," so you would be happy if they stayed, I guess...

I'm still waiting for Toups, how does Y&R get to a 3.9 and B&B only gets a 2.5?

I wasn't for sure about OLTL being a 1.7. I just looked and they were. So I guess these could be right.

Look at ATWT compared to GH and OLTL. And ATWT cancelled. I know I know their demos are lower. Still sad

How does Y&R go from a 3.5 from the week before to a 3.9 last week, and no other soap had similar trends?

Something doesn't add up, Y&R hasn't had week to week jumps like that IN YEARS, if ever.

I hope they get picked up with these numbers if they are true and they did go up.

Well, one network's critera aren't the other network's criteria. :)

I actually don't enjoy much of this team's stories...but that's for another thread.

I totally agree with you. That's why I said "if this is true". I just cannot believe that number. The show had three (?) original airings that week...did they all score that well? Toups, tell us.
