I find it the most interesting thing GH has done in ages. It's different, it's new for GH. When was the last time GH did an extended storyline in a prison? And it's nice to listen to the characters talk about new things, and for good or bad predatory prison guards and gang territory in the workout yard is new. And new day players like the guard and the bald guy..they are only going to be here a few weeks possibly and it is refreshing to look at new faces sometimes instead of the same old same old that is going on with most of the show. I also like the dungeon set Tracy Quartermaine is in.

A rating point meant less viewers than it does now, though. But still not remotely enough to make that much of a difference :P

Let me guess, you blame Agnes Nixon for selling OLTL when she did. :P

Meh, no one thought it would jump to second place, did they? It has been recently ABC's top rated soap a number of times...

Well it is good to spot a hater of Liason and there must be a hell of alot of Liason fans out there to keep this couple number one in the polls in almost every soap mag. Well it seems to me that blackout done by those so call 50 fans made one hell of a difference in the ratings but then again you keep on hating.

And you have no proof that a blackout, by any fanbase, didn't affect the ratings. The simple fact that there IS a blackout should be an indicator of a problem for any soap opera.

I understand you don't like that couple. I understand some don't even call them a couple. I understand there are many who say they never have been and never will be a couple. That's ok. But to say there are only 50 online fans for that fanbase? That is nothing but a gross under-exaggeration. Theres a reason why there has been a fanwar,somewhat encouraged by tptb at GH, going on for years now.

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I'm not even the one who said that were only 50 online fans for Liason, and I NEVER said I didn't like them, all I said was that there was no proof that the blackout caused a drop in the ratings.

Personally, I'm indifferent to Liason, I would take them over JaSam anyday.

The real problem would have been in the show listened to or even acknowledged the blackout or in any way tinkered with the show to appease this one group of fans who want the entire show to be written so one couple could be featured. That has been the problem with ABC soaps for too many years: refusing to write anything new for the shows so they can appease viewers who basically want to write the show and then watch what they wrote. The fact it may not be interesting for everyone who wants to watch the show with no rooting interest in these couples is immaterial. "If the show is good but the couple is out, that's unacceptable. If the show is bad but I have my couple, well too bad for you!"

It is a wonder Erica Kane ever got to wedding #2. If the viewers thought then the way they do now, AMC would still be teasing Erica and Jeff out of fear of alienating people. I also don't know how the show can encourage a fan war. The show has no way to force viewers to look at the show so...monomaniacally I guess is a good way to describe it. That applies to Jason/Liz fans, the people years ago for Sonny and Carly, and just about anybody who wants to coerce the show to write specific scripts and plots.

    • 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.
    • I figure that was really hard for Dom to do. I completely GET why they wrote it the way they did but I wonder if it was necessary. Meanwhile I have 2 really icky ideas in my head. Drew is going to blame Tracy KNOWING it was not her. Dante is going to blame Lulu.  After that, everyone else is going to be mad at Lois.  Tracy is going to double down on wanting to get rid of Sonny. Sonny's going to be more dug in to stay because he now has a new descendant. 
    • I can actually buy Brook Lynn being so self-absorbed and incurious that she never thought to question why her mom and grandma were so attached to Gio.
