B&B is some of the worst soap opera ever (I loved this show from 92-05). The year it won the emmy contained some of the most atrocious writing and acting in the medium's history. So wonderful that Bell learned to play the JFP Emmy game with the emmy bait knockout episodes. B&B will probably win again this year.

AMC's situation gives me the giggles because I simply don't like the show.

The problem with OLTL is that it is soooo inconsistent. We have all of this Cramer women/Mitch drama and then a week and half without Dorian. I don't even remember seeing Cassie leave. Was there a goodbye? And I don't watch any other soaps so I don't know how it compares but all the exposition is killing me. Every conversation between characters is nothing but exposition after exposition. And it's completely random. Why does Roxy feel the need to approach Oliver at a St. Paddy's day party and start a coversation about how that creep Schuyler got custody. I mean WE know Oliver is the real father; Roxy doesn't. STUPID, STUPID, STUPID. OH! And Langston! A high school student worte a musical? In one month?? And she's holding auditions??? At my school we had drama teachers for that kind of thing. And the worst part, we get to see her musical during May sweeps. And how many freaking college papers does Blair need to drop off at Starr's school? NO, writers, it doesn't make sense that Blair is roaming the halls of Llanviw High, even if you're trying to put her in a scene with Jessica. And the baby story. OMG! NO COURT WOULD GIVE CUSTODY TO SOME RANDOM GUY WITHOUT A PATERNITY TEST. YOU CAN'T JUST SHOW UP AND SAY "I'M THE DAD" AND BOOM! CUSOTDY. For reals.

On a side note, I am amused by the two ATWT fans on here who every week make their predictions, hoping against hope that OLTL has dropped below their show.

OH! OH! And Natalie...if you're trying to stay away from John and Marty, and show up at a bar and John is there, leave! Don't go up to him and start a coversation about how you're planning on giving John and Marty some room. Just leave. And shouldn't Jessica be seeing a therapist/counselor instead of attending high school at the age of 30? And what in the hell is going on with Mitch? He's been in a glass cage for over a month. Really? Is that prison? Has he been to court yet? Anyone planning on testifying against him, or is he just gonna be locked up into perpetuity? And the last person whose face I want to see on my tv screen in Danielle's. What an abnoxious, ungrateful, ugly child she is. Why couldn't she fall through the ice and die.

Crappy show results in crappy ratings.

Okay, I think I got it all out.

Well, I was wrong about the overall viewers and only a little right about the demos. AMC's demos are positively dreadful. It is competing with OLTL for the worse 18 to 49 demos.

As usual GH cannot hold on to any of its sweeps gains. The usual bad storytelling is banal so the lapse viewers don't stick around.

    • 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.

    • Okay I can buy that when Brook Lynn was a teen.  Now she knows the child is a boy one would think she'd be slightly suspicious.  Then again, Gio looks nothing like either of them so maybe not lol.
    • I've been behind & just got caught up & the last 3 days were amazing!
    • Yeah.  The hot, poor bad boy with a chip on his shoulder but with a heart of gold was a common soap trope in the 80s

    • That's been an issue with me... the lack of a cohesive 'Have Not' crowd that has focus other than Leslie/Eva.   I would beef up Jan, Mona, Laura, Joey, and few other male characters.. and not just be out to overthrow the Duprees.. but co-existing and broadening the scope of the show since the show is called Beyond the Gates. I think the set up the show has with everything revolving around the Duprees will become predictable especially if they always win.   It would be like Victor Newman on Y & R for 40+ years.. always winning, hardly ever losing.   With MVJ/Guza.. both trained under that mindset... I fear that will happen.   I've always heard from a performer that is playing a character like Leslie/Dana that you have to find the victim/hurt beneath the surface in order to play a villain/villainess... and I think that's why I enjoy watching her.. because she brings so much more to the part than what the writers put on the page.
