I'm not surprised AMC dropped. The SL's and dialogue have gotten better, but David, Greenlee and Ryan are eating the show. Plus wasn't this the week the reveal of Adam's long lost plot device child?

AMC lost the 2nd most viewers for the week, right behind the lowest rated soap: ATWT.

ALL Soaps but AMC stayed the same, while AMC dropped in HH & the coveted demo

Not much separating AMC & GH either

AMC still is up 115,000 viewers from last year at this time, the most of any soap except for Days. It is going to take time for this show to recover from how awful it has been the last five years. I'm actually enjoying it more than I have in a decade.

Yes, that's nice to see. Even though they're not capturing high ratings in the demos, at least in total viewers it's going up. That's important in the long run. Like I had mentioned in another thread, the best strategy right now for All My Children is to maintain and even bring back the lapsed viewers, even if they're older than 49. By doing so, hopefully good word of mouth will follow and as a result the daughters and the female friends of these "older" viewers, who are 18-49, will tune in.

I'm glad Days of Our Lives didn't insanely drop during the Winter Olympics, like the last time. I just took a closer look..glad the show is still stable and wasn't hurt that much.

It was! I just remembered, she returned that Tuesday. Ugh! Hopefully next weeks ratings are better, I'm thinking Brooke is a character who would bring back a lot of viewers...this isn't good if she doesn't at all :\

There hasn't been a recent return that's generated a significant bump on the day the character debuts. Greenlee, no (both times). Jesse and Angie, no. I think there has to be a significant story point that would drive viewership up.

Well it will start getting awful again sometime before May or June when the Guiding Light and As the World Turns writer's take over the head writing position. AMC is good again right now but will it last. It might not be as bad like it was for GL and ATWT. ATWT writing isn't that bad right now compared to last summer.

AMC (1.1), B&B (1.1), OLTL (1.1)and ATWT (1.0) are headed for a 4way tie in 18-49 demo for the year. Give or take a few points, they have been running about even for some time now. ATWT being the 'old people' show is sort of a myth given the fact that the show often does well with the "girls" ranking and the male demo which probably breaks down fairly young because of the Nuke thing. B&B has fallen so much over the past two years. I remember when it was one of the 'special' shows and at least 500,000 viewers a head of the pack. I never thought B&B would come close to duking it out with AMC in total viewers. Brad Bell needs do to do something fast. Does anyone know when the show began trending down?

    • 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.

    • Her accent sounds horrible and doesn't fit in line with the character or the dialogue. I was just messing around on YouTube and perusing early Tad and Dixie videos. Notably, Dixie, a resident of Pigeon Hollow, West Virginia, has no discernible accent. i have no idea why she would add a defunct accent to this character now. I want to do an honest survey here. I watch BTG every day and I love it. It's not perfect, but I find it 99% entertaining. For those that find fault with it - what is actually bothering you? I'm not going to argue at all, or disagree with you. I just want to know what others are seeing that I'm not.
    • It's a choice and today, she made it more British than ever before. It's almost like she's making Pamela act like how she thinks she should be acting.
