Yikes, those demos. At least, Y&R rebounded a little. I wonder how low AMC's 18 to 49 women demos can go before it is cancelled.

IMO, they've already been canceled. All we're waiting for is the announcement.

Has AMC dipped past GL and ATWT in rating and demos?

I agree

Has AMC dipped past GL and ATWT in rating and demos?

In demos yes...HH no.

I did a quick scan of the old ratings threads and ATWT and GL were at.07 in the demos multiple times during their last year. ATWT never dipped below that but GL did for a few weeks when it got a .06.

ok thanks guys. I to belive AMC is done for. They have shown no growrth what so ever. Instead of focusing on Guza and these rumors the should focus on AMC. Why doesn't Agnes Nixon come back to save her soap? Frons should be telling her to do what ever she can to save the show.

I'm wondering what the bleep AMC could do to get 18-49 viewers back. Their 18-49 is not very good even when they're getting almost 3 million viewers which means their audience has skewed older in the past couple of years. I'd look to the other soaps for advice but their 18-49s are sinking too. AMC, OLTL have each shaved 100,000 off their average in the past couple of weeks.

ATWT was getting current B&B, OLTL, AMC 18-49 #'s in its last year. 446,000 to 695,000 viewers, 0.7 to 1.1 rating.

I don't have GL 18-49 viewers listed like with ATWT. But this was their last 5 months.

That chart is for GL. HH rank, HH rating, HH share, 18-49 rank/rating, total viewers. I listed ATWT numbers without a chart above GL.

ok thanks guys. I to belive AMC is done for. They have shown no growrth what so ever. Instead of focusing on Guza and these rumors the should focus on AMC. Why doesn't Agnes Nixon come back to save her soap? Frons should be telling her to do what ever she can to save the show.

It's not up to Agnes. She's done enough and earned her rest. Broderick could do very well as a HW but it would take more than improved writing, it would take a commitment to doing whatever is necessary to save the show. Better writing, no interference, cut the Fronsian airhogs time to the bone then they would need a HELL of a lot of heavy, ongoing promotion in order to win back those viewers who've walked. AMC went backwards with the return of Greenlee and Kendall. It's the Sextet of Suck all over again except with Madison and Griffin filling in for Annie and Aidan.

I fully expect AMC's cancellation to be announced in the next couple of weeks, if it's true that everything has to be made official by April 1 for work to commence on its replacement.

I feel like Frons stopped trying altogether with AMC when when both P&G soaps were dead. He always seemed to have a drive to ensure that his shows were not beat by the "retirement home" shows, as he saw them. Once that little mission was over AMC had no real use to him. He focused on GH because he loves that show more than anything in the world, and OLTL because he wanted to beat The Talk.

What I hate is that AMC could have a decent last few months, IF Frons had fired K&S when their contracts were up. He could have fired them and claimed the search was still on for a replacement, and then when the cancellation was announced, made Lorraine Broderick and Jeff Beldner temporary headwriters. Even if neither of them wanted the position before I can't imagine they would say no to writing the end.

Instead AMC is going to get a GL-quality finale.

OK last time Bodderick was AMC( as imterim) did ratings go up? Same with Ms. Nixon, did ratings go up the last time she penned the show?

BTG: December 2025 Discussion Thread

I imagine the writers considered dramatizing the scene involving Madison, Chelsea, and Willow but decided it could easily backfire from a medical perspective. Either Willow would've had to go WAY over the top with her observations, or else her commentary would've come across to many viewers as completely reasonable, especially with Chelsea sitting there smiling & encouraging her, while Madison frowned in frustration. The end result, unless Willow was presented as TOTALLY bizarre, would've appeared that Michele Val Jean supported the position that a "smile and a crystal" are more effective than an antibiotic in clearing up an infection, and I don't believe that's the impression BTG hoped to give.
In this case, it was probably better for everyone to discuss it afterwards to highlight that Willow is down in an internet rabbit hole, and Chelsea was encouraging it.
As Anita said today, "I thought Aunt Melba was completely normal and fine in the brief amount of time I spent with her, but I realized Vernon and his mother had FAR more experience with her than I did."

Wow, this is the first time I've seen footage of Elizabeth MacRae on GH, and in color too! She's great!

I totally agree! Their "relationship" is so pity based... it's almost embarrassing to watch. A guy who got rejected by the woman he reaally wants, and to soothe his bruised ego, he lets his eccentric best friend think they’re an item. She treats him like he’s some kind of deity, acting as if he’s God and everything he touches turns to gold. This is what they call "romance" . And now... after Luna lost everything because of Max's tired penis... she’s still the one going to lawyers to save his precious Serenity Springs. Everyone seems to have forgotten she lost her radio gig too. Why isn’t Max out there fighting for her show? Maybe because it’s not his problem, he is so selfish... just like Blair. And as you pointed out, he’s no prize - just a fading playboy. I actually liked the other actor better, the one I saw during the Alex Olanov hysteria - he was a darker, classier version... while THIS right now is supposed to be this "HOT", cute butt in a denim-guy that makes women lose their marbles with one wink. UGH. Luna should be dumping him and getting back to her radio show. Being the outsider looking in... the role she had in the beginning. Why do we need YET another romantic heroine is beyond me. We have ENOUGH of them.

There is something to Donna Mills in the same regard. Especially as Abby got more and more power for herself, she played her calmer and calmer as the years progressed. Abby is still calculating, but I can’t think of many times any of the three of them went full Valene or Karen. And I love those ladies, don’t get me wrong. But Joan Van Ark can be very histrionic and mannered, and Michele Lee is very soapy in the traditional sense.
The year after Sid died, before Mac arrived, Lee does a lot of quiet, beautiful acting in several episodes. But she can go balls out and did quite often. The whole Chip/Diana story is when it gets really noticeable to me. That run she does to find Diana has left at the end of season 4 is almost comical in her mannerisms and she doesn’t say a word.

The storyline with Madison feeling unsupported by Chelsea with her mom is actually interesting because it's different and topical without being overly political, but maybe it would have been nice to like, show it? They are getting to be like Y&R, too much narrating. We should be seeing the dynamics of dinner with her mom instead of being told. It could be done at a restaurant if creating a house set is an issue.

I just finished the book! overall it was a pretty good read...definitely more told of the POV and research of a fan which isn't a bad thing (going by JT Cornell is actually clever and hilarious!) and kind of more of a year by year recap of what happen on the show with little anecdotes thrown in. I definitely would love to hear more BTS stuff about certain stories and more of the actors words when it came to doing certain scenes and trying to make sense of the some of the more out there stories. It was good to learn a bit more about JER though. For as crazy as his storytelling was, it seemed everyone in the industry respected his ideas he bestowed upon daytime.

That was crazy to find out how affected Rodney Van Johnson really was at playing the "angry black man" and how he got PO'd at Chris Maleki's Spike for throwing fake punches at him ( I don't recall them fighting on the show though) That's scary he had to really wind down after filming to get all the anger out.
All the love for Ben Masters and the cast not knowing what was really going on with him before his death made me tear up a bit. I didn't realize how much he was involved in Tracy Ross's kids life too!

They even have quite a few paragraphs devoted to the the music having to be replaced on the SCI Fi and Superchannel rebroadcasts which is of course what I always complain about too! LOL That's why I always want to see the original broadcast 1999-2001 episodes pop up more where the music isn't messed with.
