Is Y&R going to go up in the ratings anytime soon, because that's what I am concerned about.

[AllMyDaysatGH]

lol.

I understand what you're saying, but I just think people these days don't stick to shows in general like they used too when there weren't so many choices. I see the same trends in primetime. Some shows go up and down from week to week.

[DRW50]

That's true, but it's been a while since I remember a sustained drop at Y&R. If this keeps on with minimal increase then it makes me hope the trash will finally be taken out.

I don't quite understand that AMC jump in the demos. Has long have been consistently falling for? And when was the last time the demos jumped/by how much? Maybe it was just the buzz from GH got people tuning in to the whole line up.

[Saving ATWT]

The show is just as hack as it was three months ago. No better but no worse. I do wonder if killing Cane pissed some viewers off? They were a popular couple, I remember SoapNet making a huge deal out of the wedding. It was a dumb move considering that Y&R lacks many viable male characters in that age bracket.

[taylormade]

Toups, are you thinking that Y&R will get better ratings in the coming weeks?

[LoyaltoAMC]

I really don't think any one story is hurting Y&R. The weather's getting nicer, and people are less likely to stay inside to watch. It's just a natural fall, esp. when there's no big must-see event going on. And as Y&R goes, so goes B&B. I think ABC's numbers are an anomaly. GH's inflated numbers are probably due to the big wedding, and most likely AMC and OLTL just piggybacked on that. I would expect the ABC shows to take a tumble next week.

Why Are They Surprised That B&B Got Passed. It's Usually higher by .1 or.2 in Total HH

Im Surprised It Hasnt Happened Sooner

[MontyB]

I don't know how AMC and OLTL piggybacked on GH numbers when they come on before GH.

[taylormade]

Does anybody have last week's ratings and will they be posted today?

[juniorz1]

I'm sure somebody has them.

[Eric83]

It does happen though. I remember the carnival thing on GH in September 2009, all ABC soaps rose .2 in HH's that week. That couldn't have been a coincidence as nothing majorly interesting was happening on AMC/OLTL at the time.

[ATWT_GL_fan]

Here we go again.

[OLTL_fan]

Not always. The week Sonny shot Dante and their ratings rose, AMC & OLTL dropped.
