Not jumping, but I see absolutely no reason why OLTL would have climbed .2 ...

Not jumping, but I see absolutely no reason why OLTL would have climbed .2 ...

Eric, .2 comes out to slightly more than 200,000 viewers which isn't all that many viewers. Firstly, we've seen OLTL come in at 1.9 quite a few times and drop as low as 1.7 so clearly there is some week to week flux. Secondly, 2.3 million viewers tuned in daily to ATWT and I still think out of that number atleast 200,000 were either fans of both shows (the NUKE/KISH fans), ex OLTL fans or people bored at 2pm willing to sample another soap. On Monday, OLTL had one of the characters holding a blue globe and TPTB have been featuring the DA (ATWT ex Margo) almost every day so ABC must think that they can gain a few viewers. While the shows are radically different, I can easily see some people checking out OLTL. Also, I'm wondering if examples from the past (AW, for example) relate to today. Firstly, AW was being replaced by a new show, Passions, which absorbed viewers. Also, I really do wonder if GH would be the top ABC soap if there were any other soaps competing in the timeslot. Is it compelling storylines and good writing that keep GH on top? Or is it that GL and SB are dead so GH is the only soap option in the time slot? We will see over the next few weeks.

I think that GH went up this week due to the Robin-Lisa confrontation.

I am really rooting for AMC to finally move up in the 18-49 demo to at least a 1.0. I think the ratings for AMC are undeserved. I really don't see ATWT viewers flocking to OLTL but we'll see what happens.

Predictions:

1.YR 3.5

2.BB 2.2

3.GH 1.9

3.OLTL 1.9

5.AMC 1.8

5.DAYS 1.8

I can see the "Tea is alive" promo bringing OLTL up some.

While the globe thing may have been a nod to ATWT, I think you are taking things out of context. What would Nora being on everyday have to do with Margo? I doubt OLTL will see an influx of viewers from ATWT. Just does not makes sense and has never happened with any other soaps in the past decade or two.

I hope they all drop!

I hope they all drop!

Even ATWT?! Oh wait...

Even ATWT?! Oh wait...

Thats soo wrong.

I hope they all drop!

I wouldn't go that far but honestly I've seen less wishful thinking in Disney movies. All that's missing is a musical number where inanimate objects come to life. Oh wait, OLTL already did that.

Even ATWT?! Oh wait...

LOL.....

I love your OLTL prediction.. If only it happened..

Your one liners are rather stale..think of a new routine.
