I think OLTL will still be lower but perhaps not by very much.

GH is treading water at the moment. Liz in what might be her dumbest story ever, which is saying something. Endless stories about near-catatonic Michael and his messiah Jason. Endless scenes reminding viewers that Sonny is a terrible father but don't blame him, he knows not what he does. Kristina yet again throwing herself at men twice her age. Endless doses of asexual Lulu and her latest obsession, the self-righteous Dante.

All soaps suffer during the summer. The ratings tend to be lower in the summer. But I forgot to mention last week that all the CBS soaps were up from last year.

I don't know. VM might bring in the ratings. Remember she is returning in Sept when viewership of soaps is going back up. But i thught JJ return would bring in the ratings and it didnt.

Brenda is only back to prop Sonny which no one wants to see. I can see her return bringing in 3 million but it wont last especially in August when soaps do really bad. If they use her wisely with a good written story, it may be able to hold the bump but i cant imagine Guza doing that. GH has lost more viewers than any other soap. Frons and Guza refuse to wake up and see theres something wrong.

Lucky was destroyed in JJ's absence and no amount of teary eyes or Jason-loving or scenes where Luke deigns to tolerate his son again will make up for that. Add in the bizarre torching and rewriting of the L&L2 relationship upon JJ's return, the relationship which is what helped make Lucky more than just a rude teenager in the first place, and there's not much left. Lucky, like the Spencer family, has been made irrelevant.

VM might bring more of an increase, because Brenda was never destroyed, but as with JJ, there are many, many fans who left during her absence and are never going to return. GH spent a long time sneering at these fans and telling them they were not wanted.

I forgot to exclude Y&R from my comment that all the soaps' 18 to 49 women demos have horrible. Y&R as usual is holding its own.

I expect VM will give GH a bump that will disappear after a two to three weeks as those viewers flee in terror from the bad writing.

From everything I read GH is supposedly very good right now.

These shows are all so inconsistent- OLTL, Days, AMC

Or so consistently terrible-Y&R

or a blob of nothingness- I'm talking about you B&B!

That from week to week, the quality can vary tremendously. I have not watched OLTL once this week. I DVRed it and in the little description describing that day's show, it was all about teens and character's names I do not even know. F-ck it. Maybe next week.

GH as a whole isn't bad. They have characters being idiots - but hey, it's a soap opera. If we were looking for smart, thoughtful, considerate people we should look at the Waltons or Little House. This ain't it.

The problem this past ratings week is it felt like it was in a holding patter - same arguments, different day. They need movement on this stories. Some things can be dragged out but not everything can.

GH had Luke admit his marriage to Tracy was invalid. Patrick is going to cheat on Robin. Carly & Jax are separated, possibly divorcing. Maxie & Spinelli are breaking up. Lulu and Dante are on overload. Jason is in prison & Sam lied so she vpuld sneak in for some sex. Elizabeth is pregnant with a baby made from an affair. Michael may or may not have been raped in prison.

There used to be love, adventure, romance. Now it's only lying, cheating, or just plain sleaze. At least IMO. Why would viewers want to watch this?

      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.

      Y&R: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      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.
