I used to think that Guza's sweeps stunts were running out of steam, but the old dog still has some life in him yet.

Exactly. The advertisers will be squealing at those demos.

Agreed. Guza pushed the Jason/Franco and Lucky/Liz/Nik stories hard and got no return. If the Sonny/Dante story can keep GH above 1.4 in the 18 to 49 women demo for the rest of February sweeps, then it is an unqualified success.

Edited to change November to February.

I still try and figure out why people say OLT is the best show people aren't watching! Watch the sweeps and you will understand! I'm so ready for this Rex/Gigi/Stacy/Sky crap to be over with! One of the worst ever! They made Charlie shot Jess! Sorry hard to watch!

Didn't ABC soaps get pre-empted in the DC area because of storms and aired in overnight hours? I wonder why GH had such a huge increase but didn't seem to help pull AMC/OL with it at all. Was GH pre-empted less, and therefore had it's regular viewership in place?

Yes, I am an OL fan and therefore probably biased, but i truly thought OL was good enough to increase over the week before.

I think OLTL deserves a ratings increase, and I hope it's not too late for one. I think that the main way they might get one is if they make it clear to viewers that some of their current "stars" will be receiving less airtime, or leaving altogether. I'm sure someone at ABC may think, "Hey, Dorian in a major story brings the ratings down, get the axe," but I think that less focus on the Rex/Gigi stuff would help, or at least more focus on a new storyline. As it is I think some of the current stories and the general mood of the show might alienate people.

Thanks Angela now I get it.... :wacko:

I agree about Elizabeth triangle I haven't been able to watch them throw my girl under the bus

back up and re-run over her. Its horrible.

I still can't get why Guza's masterpiece Franco flopped; I really thought it would have been better received. For me I thought it would be more of him being romantic lead instead of a wacko Psycho path obsessing over Jason Morgan, that part was a huge turn off. I only saw him in one romantic tryst with Gillean (his agent) and she played minimal to non existent in the storyline...just wall paper, I was very disappointed. They could have done more with her after Franco left to extend the storyline.

When Franco blew up that was it..end of story

    • There was a rumor that Jean will die and that’s probably why she’s back then
    • 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.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of

        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.
