Members marceline Posted November 5, 2010 Members Share Posted November 5, 2010 I was thinking the same thing but somebody else brought up (sorry I can't remember who or I'd give credit) that a repeat before a weekend would basically piss people off more as they would now have to wait three days in order to get back to the show.

Members OLTL_fan Posted November 5, 2010 Members Share Posted November 5, 2010 YIKES 1.5 for GH on Friday. There needs to be some major changes at ABC daytime but of course there wont be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted November 5, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted November 5, 2010 But there's no data to support that though, unless they did some polling. But we have data that supports Friday is usually the lowest day and Monday the highest. I just makes sense to me to eliminate the lowest day. Also I find it hard to believe people would be mad if they had to wait 3 days instead of 2 for their soap opera fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members me4ryky Posted November 5, 2010 Members Share Posted November 5, 2010 Just how low will GH sink before changes are made? There's been a steady decline over the years, but it seems to me a dramatic freefall in the past year or so. Bringing on Franco and Michael Learned did nothing. Bringing back JJ and VM did nothing. Re-pairing past loves hasn't brought back viewers. Breaking up couples hasn't brought anyone back. Beating a teenage girl and (possibly) raping a teenage boy certainly hasn't worked. Shootings, bombings, backstabbing and sleaze are the mainstays of GH and I think viewers are just realizing things will never change as long as Frons and Guza are in charge. What a waste of talent.

Members marceline Posted November 5, 2010 Members Share Posted November 5, 2010 Intuitively I agree with you. I'll be interested to see if ABC shifts the reruns around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TeamEric Posted November 5, 2010 Members Share Posted November 5, 2010 Last summer GH was crashing. Then JJ's big return didn't reallly help the ratings. But GH hit 3 million viewers in Feb when Sonny shot Dante. That proves former viewers could be lured back. Then GH crashed back down in June and now Brenda's overhyped, overpriced return flopped. Guza mishandled Brenda returns so badly he needs to change direction fast to regain viewer interest. Not sure he can as he's invested so much setup in this dreary the Balkan tale.

Members rhinohide Posted November 5, 2010 Members Share Posted November 5, 2010 Why allow Brenda to infect everything on the show? BrendaPalooza should signal to Daytime execs that these returns aren't what their loyal audience is looking for. As should Greenlee's return, and Kelly's return, and the list goes on. Yet somehow, they do not seem to grasp this simple fact that they do not work! But it's not like OLTL is overtaking GH, GH hit record lows and fell below OLTL. There's no winner here.

Members quartermainefan Posted November 5, 2010 Members Share Posted November 5, 2010 what a terrible year for the soaps 1. Y&R 3.4/12 (same/-.2) <- ties low rating (2nd straight week) 2. B&B 2.2/8 (-.1/-.2) 3. OLTL 1.8/6 (+.1/-.1) 3. DAYS 1.8/6 (-.1/-.4) 5. AMC 1.7/6 (same/-.4) <- ties low rating (2nd straight week) 5. GH 1.7/5 (-.1/-.4) <- ties low rating (Last time: June 14-18, 2010) so many - .4 A year ago, DOOL was cooking with Sydney and had the 2.2s, now 2.2 is second place. And 2 weeks of 3.4 for Y&R sounds like a new threshold is being crossed. I guess good for OLTL for weathering the storm better than the rest.

Members Southofnowhere Posted November 5, 2010 Members Share Posted November 5, 2010 AMC is in TROUBLE! If ratings don't go up it's TOAST! They need to make change in HW's ASAP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members remos Posted November 5, 2010 Members Share Posted November 5, 2010 When is Guza going to realize the Sonny/Brenda/Dante story is not interesting to anyone but himself? He's got a large compliment of Spencers and a decent compliment of Cassidines and Quartermaines (if he recalls Brook and Jason) and that's always been the strength of this show. The Corrinthos should be window dressing and bow to the older families. Even the Scoprios can be brought in for better than Robin's paranoia and Sonny-propping.

Members Angela Posted November 5, 2010 Members Share Posted November 5, 2010 OLTL doesn't have anything to crow about as they're status is not because they're rising, it's because they fell to this pathetic level earlier this year and AMC/GH are joining them this fall. Exactly. No cold weather rising for the soaps this year? I'm hoping it's just going to be a late year for the rises. The soaps are getting numbers they would usually get in the summer, it's horrible - for all of them except Y&R and B&B. ETA: I don't know what happened, when it happened but the show is really, really bad. I think OLTL shows effort, I think AMC is okay but generally on the boring side but GH is tedious.

Members TeamEric Posted November 5, 2010 Members Share Posted November 5, 2010 BrendaPalooza Round #1 was a big ratings hit so I can understand why Frons/Guza hoped for a repeat there. But Greenlee's past returns have all flopped and Kelly was never a ratings hit for OLTL. As for OLTL not winning well the fact is, it's only down -.1 year over year. That's the best performance of all 6 soaps. Y&R and B&B are down -.2 and DAYS, AMC and GH all down a whopping -.4 over 2009 numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TeamEric Posted November 5, 2010 Members Share Posted November 5, 2010 Actually, long term trends show over the last 3 months, OLTL has steadily increased it's viewership while holding demos somewhat steady. Aug 2010 2,273,000 657,250 Sep 2010 2,344,750 675,250 Oct 2010 2,427,250 663,500 I don't do AMC trends but GH had a decent September then been crashing all of October.
