GH did good on Monday. Probably because of the Friday cliffhanger of Lisa throwing herself in front of Patricks car. Wonder if GH will go up again for the Brenda/Sonny reunion this week. All ABC soaps are up from last week and last year. Maybe not so many people went away this year.

But year-to-year is somewhat misleading when you're only looking at one week. Last year, GH was very low, and GH had a good week this year, so there's going to be a gain. Next week, GH could be down year-to-year - it depends how they did last year and how they did this year. The only way to look at the year-to-year ratings is, well, yearly.

How can it be said that OLTL had a good week? It's in last place tied with a cancelled soap. To me, OLTL continues on a

dismal track. No one can be happy with this rating. In fact, how can it be justified to keep these low rated soaps on the air.

These numbers were when Port Charles was cancelled. In fact, all soap ratings are pretty dismal. Y and R can't even get up

over a 4.0 anymore. 1.7 is a horrible rating.

No one is arguing that. The show gained viewers from the previous week. That's what OLTL fans and people who watch the ratings are concerned about right now.

There is justification for poeple who continue to watch. If you're not watching, fine. Me and others who enjoy these programs will continue to watch as long as they are on.

It has two more weeks of ratings left. I thought last week was pretty good. I expected higher numbers. John returned and was on all week. All of CBS was down on Friday. I guess no one wanted to see Reid die and Noah stay [!@#$%^&*] alive.

GH numbers are still shitty! Only a 1.9 rating...but they do have 2.6 mil viewers. Still not great numbers for Vanessa's return.

What was so good about AMC that they went up??

OLTL still is tied with ATWT in HH.

Hopefully ATWT can hit #4 in Total Viewers and #3 in HHs the last week. It's not that far away from either one now.

    • So, on rewatch....did Rick and Mindy never have sex? 
    • Cady had a fairly posh accent or manner as Rosanna - the character was a 180 from Dixie when she went to ATWT, and it was a huge success initially. As someone mostly only familiar with the nagging, miserable or clueless Dixie of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s it was what convinced me Cady could act. I thought she was incredible in her first run. Later, in future stints, her hair and story and performances were all over the place but a lot of that was down to the show for me. She brought some of Rosanna back with her to Dixie in her ill-fated return and a lot of people didn't like it, which I understood but I did think the character needed some change. I think she's had a little bit of the same persona and arch performance in every role she's played since, including Jennifer Horton at DAYS or Kelly at Y&R, who later became a maniac and was easily the worst work I've ever seen Cady do. It has kind of infected her overall mannerisms, I'll allow that, but I do think she brought Dixie back together as herself while still evolving the character when she returned to AMC again in 2012-13. Nonetheless, for me the upshot is that this is a character where Cady's kookier recent performance style suits the role. But I can understand it grating for people.
    • Yeah, Loretta Swit's passing stings. My late dad LOVED the show (he died last November) and watched it religiously. In first run and repeats.  And I was literally born the day after the show's premiere, so I grew up with it! I know many loved later, softer Margaret, but I loved Early Hot Lips. In real life, I'm all for less misogyny, but to me, the early years of M*A*S*H were just funnier. May Loretta Swit rest in peace. Thanks for all the memories connected to my dad!

    • 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.
