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.

    • 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.
