Maybe Chloe/Daniel was a huge turn off to people. The show as a whole is boring as hell and none of the storylines are working out that great.

Alice's funeral got very minimum promotion, I think, but even big gatherings like that aren't guaranteed to bring in ratings anymore.

AMC continues to hold its own in total viewers (highest in total viewers of all ABC soaps, very close to Days), but sad that it fell in the demos. Can women 18-49 really prefer the tosh of GH? I hope it is just a matter of people not knowing what they are missing!

The all-Hubbard episode did quite well, considering it was a Friday -- the same as the rest of the week. Yay!

I'm actually surprised ATWT didn't sink further, and even picked up a little. It was so boring and painful to watch last week, hardly anyone to root for or care about, particularly near the end of the week. And you know I am a bit of a P&G apologist so it is not easy for me to say that. The one good thing about ATWT lately has been more Bob and Kim.

I kind of wonder how many would tune into a funeral to begin with. I guess some lapsed fans might have but even they might have preferred their memories of what was.

I wonder what happened on GH to make it go up.

It's interesting to say that AMC needs some moments besides going back to the traditional soap format. I do agree with that but I also feel like the stunts are what made people lose interest in the first place. I think consistency counts (consistently decent/good, I mean), then things might be able to happen which could surprise people. Like having Ryan devoured by Zombie Braden.

TOUPS, are you sure the Y&R increase in viewers # is correct :unsure: . I was expecting that number to be 230,000 not 23,000 seeing as MM is back and he is the reason why ratings will be going up by significant #s.

Can't wait to see what July sweeps brings this viewer.

ITA, I'm so glad the Friday ep held its own. As for the rest, AMC has made a lot of improvement but it still has a ton of work to do. I think this will be a rocky summer for them.

Fortunately OLTL continues to drop. Now they're getting spanked by Wayne Brady.

    • 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.
