I'm bummed about AMC, the show has been good overall lately. Those demos...*praying*

So glad OL remained 2.0 HHs. That's great for them. Funny how their least watch day was the day Snoop showed up.

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.

Ouch! Wasn't this the week of Brooke's return too?

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 :\

I'm sure Frons will find a way to blame the drop on her

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.

I agree with this. Trends will be where the answers lie, not single day blips.

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.

So-So week in all...GH is still lagging in those total viewers (though it IS up from last year)...But it is killing in the demos.

OLTL is killing in the demos too...So I think the worry needs to shift to B&B.

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?

When does DK take over? I thought it would be in the fall due to his PGP contract.

Like... resign, maybe?
