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

    • Really an excellent point. I'm worried about Derek but he's not working. The Duprees being too good somehow ... well, if they say it instead of be it, okay yes, I would worry but as long as they keep on being good, geeze, that's something to celebrate, not worry!!!  Party on?!
    • I blame Mitch.

    • I agree. For now. I am sure in a year's time...a new family (or old) will start to appear on the show. 
    • There's some irony in Philip being forgiven, because it forces everyone to admit that Victor was wrong to change his will.  Everyone, eventually including Xander, (I presume), seems to think it was wrong for Victor to divide his estate in Xander's favor.  I appreciated Stephanie forgiving Philip, because she's got no skin in that game.  But, Belle's line about Philip missing Xander because he misses Bo did not ring true.  I think Philip would be sad if Bo dies, but I think he's more concerned currently about Xander. I am enjoying this EJ mystery so much that I am hereby taking a vow not to read spoilers.  I am also vowing — for the last time — to stop harping on this, but: the concept of a “sepsis treatment” remains absurd. Hospitals prevent sepsis through vigilant infection control; once sepsis sets in, it causes multiple organ failures. Treatment involves supporting each failing organ individually. The notion that a single medication could magically reverse organ failure is medically laughable. However, I like the contrast of Kim going through cancer, which is incurable in their universe.  Kayla's comment on the health of both of her siblings was both heartbreaking and an interesting twist.  MBE is also totally underrated.  She is carrying the weight of so many stories.   And, I like the use of Kayla as an audience surrogate.  She's arguably the most "real" person in Salem. Kayla isn't psychic, she wasn't SORASed, she's not a billionaire, and she doesn't have a bionic eye.  So, I enjoy that we get her perspective of the nuttiness that surrounds her. However, I don't get what gives her the authority to turn down EJ's offer.  I understand that they need a hospital figurehead to show us scenes of the competition to buy the hospital.  But, unless the entire administration has been let go, the Chief of Staff wouldn't make those choices.
    • But why worry about something that might not happen? Right now, most things revolve around the Duprees. We have no idea if or how long that will continue. For now, it's working.
    • The Duprees not having any staff is a bugbear for me. They've included the background staff at the Country Club but no one at the Dupree home. Even just an extra bringing in a tray of food/drinks or responding to a request from Anita would suffice.
    • Shut up, Dante and Lois.  I actually don't mind this particular soap trope, but in the context of this storyline, it just feels forced and unnecessary. If anything, this Dante/Gio tension needed to begin months ago. Plus, this storyline, in general, isn't doing Lois any favors either.  Emma comforting Gio was really sweet though. It's definitely time for the two of them to have their first kiss. And, Joss playing Secret Agent Barbie will just never work.
    • Note to makeup - Smitty’s eyebrows, bad clamshell look.
