I don't think even changing HW's will help AMC. I'm not a doom and gloomer, but IMO it's got one foot in the grave and from what's been said NO ONE wanted the HW job at AMC which is why we got K&S

They do need to get rid of the awful B&E though

Is that a trick question? LOL, of course they don't, heck they don't even having anyone who watches continuity between episodes, why would they bother with something like this?

Utterly stupid to air repeat going into sweeps

Well, 1.8 seems to be the new normal. I remember people bugging out when ATWT hit this number 19 months back. GH took a hard fall this week but Days held that position a few weeks back so nobody ought to be that worried. Most of us thought that OLTL and AMC would always be fighting for fifth place but it really seems like all non-CBS shows are now tied for last place. Overall ratings seem to drop with each soap cancellation. Right after GL bit the dust, ATWT and OLTL suddenly started dropping lower; now, with the end of World, there seems to be more carnage with lower lows.

A few months ago, I said we'd be seeing 1.5 soon enough and it really wouldn't shock me if this happens before the 2011. A lot of people will be shopping between Thanksgiving and X-mas. Hope for bad weather so people will stay home and watch soaps ;)

I think the best performance of all 6 soaps is Y&R and even B&B, down only .1 or .4, DAYS, GH, AMC and OLTL all currently have horrible numbers especially for this time of the year.

ETA:

I'll wait to see what happens through January/February, but it definitely could be that the middle-pack and back-end soaps - aka all non-CBS soaps - are settling into their low end numbers being the new high (2.4 to 2.5 million). It was just a matter if time if this is so.

Exactly, Angela. I think it is laughable how OLTL fans are trying to spin the bad news.

The cold weather rises may come later in the year. The weather is still pretty decent across most of the country.

Also, you are right that Y&R and B&B are the only two soaps relatively holding onto their demos. Y&R continues to be the champion of the soaps.

Dreadful numbers by all soaps. B&B at 2.2?....GH hitting a 1.5 for Friday......All the shows losing viewers this week.....Brenda's return continues to flop.....OLTL will drop again next week....AMC...so dull to watch...the whole mid week reruns for ABC soaps is hurting their shows.

They are going to hate you for saying that. I agree with you. Yes, they went up in HHs but went down in viewers again. Those 18-49 numbers are dreadful for all soaps.

AMC is in big trouble.....and GH in last...just wow.....lol

It's going to go down..I can guarantee it! The big events were last week.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      Completely agree with you. I think Bonita Brisker has been really good as Sharon. What Anita did was obviously awful, so she doesn't need to reign anything in. We're getting a good look at someone who's struggled in life compared to Anita "We're the Duprees!" Williams.   -- Anita is starting to look foolish for dredging all this up just so she  can get her ass back on stage. Is she so delusional she doesn't realize how she hurt Sharon and Tracy? -- Anita's line to Vernon "How can I expect Sharon to forgive me when I haven't forgiven myself" struck me as really selfish. After all that with Sharon, Anita again made it all about herself. -- Does anyone really believe Anita wants equal billing if the Articulettes reunite?  -- Colby Muhammad continues to be a standout. Her Kat more than holds her own with Leslie. -- The writing was very good for the father/daughter scene between Ted and Eva. It wasn't so good between Ted and Martin in their father/son scene. It didn't play like family to me, especially when Ted referred to "my wife" when talking about Nicole to Martin. -- Overall, a very solid show today.

      I honestly do not see the point of Max coming back again. Zoe does not surprise me. I've been waiting for that since Bionic Woman flopped in the US, frankly. I'm not against it vs. some other pointless returns. Some returns work and some don't, some are just there. Like, am I grateful that Kathy is alive? Yes, absolutely. Do I love any of her stories? No. But she's not utterly destroyed, she's just there.

      GH: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      I think Frank probably wanted to try for Jonathan with Kate Mansi. I actually can't knock the idea of a Lucky/Kristina affair or flirtation on paper, as a romantic obstacle to LNL2, but not with the characters in the places they are at present or have been over the last few years. It would be a mistake to do right now and would poison the well. I think Jonathan probably made it clear when he came back that he wanted what had been promised to him years ago with Elizabeth, and between his not being one of FV's preferred focal leads and Liz being a grudging afterthought if she's not with one of his OLTL stars, I suspect FV was content to leave them where they are vs. where they should be, which is central on the show. It's like I said a few days ago: A lot of this is how Lulu has always been. But back in the day the issue was that Lulu (and Carly) were deified for it, whereas now it's that Lulu is just used as the heavy because FV has a preexisting favoritism for Setton/BLQ. And that's a waste of a key character and talent, namely Alexa Havins.

      Melanie Smith was very difficult to replace, but as KMH did last for a long time, she clearly managed to do so. I preferred Melanie, but the main issue with Kelley is I just think she was horribly written for most of the time. Initially the writing wasn't horrible, it's more she was not the right choice, but over time the writing genuinely became awful, and unplayable, with a few exceptions (I think her pairings with Chris and Hal worked and got to take her in some new directions).

      Y&R: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      Coming into June and...   TRASH. Or as I like to say for moments like this...HUNNI, WHAT IS THIS?   Outside of seeing Traci come home...and then...Ashley...not a darn thing is going on. So they are clearing stalling now, aren't they? It really hit me during the Phyllis/Daniel scenes. It was feeling like a B&B scene where two characters have the same repetitive conversation. And I have not seen Phyllis/Daniel scenes in that light lately so yeeeeah NOPE.   I did like the touch of Traci arrived outside of the Abbott mansion door and taking a breath and looking around. Very aftereffects of Martin. And I liked her and Diane having their conversation about Martin. I wished JG had allowed Traci to stay in town to deal with her feelings about Martin so at least we are getting some follow-up on that.    And same with Ashley and her talk with Jack. I will take Eileen Davidson anyway I can get her. Dare I say...will she be around for the Dumas reveal?   Outside of...   Kyle, Claire, and Harrison in a park IS NOT a storyline.   Sharon having to use the phrases (and in text) with Nick dinner as friends IS NOT a storyline.   Giggly Heffa giggly-heffa-ing around town IS NOT a storyline.    With Damian MIA and my love of Eileen Davidson...I might just go on break until the Dumas reveal if this is how we are starting June.

      Dragging this quote over from the Texas thread just because it shows a reference to Bay City as a fictional location at least as early as 1981. It doesn't quote Gail Kobe as saying it directly but the point she is making about the Houston setting of Texas does seem to take it for granted that Bay City is not real.

      It's too bad they couldn't get access to the old music cues from the 80s and 90s, to run with the flashbacks or in the current scenes. That would have added a lot. Imagine if they had played the old Roman and Marlena theme.

      Wonder if any of the Beyond the Gates people were asked. Admittedly, the show hasn't been on long enough for any of those actors to get much interest.
