OLTL is only 23,000 under GH in women 18-49 viewers, a virtual tie, yet GH remains on the air. (If OLTL had 4,000 more viewers in that category, it would've tied GH at a 1.1 in that demo).

363,000-428,000-----------> .06

429,000-488,000-----------> .07

489,000-561,000-----------> .08

562,000-627,000-----------> .09

628,000-693,000-----------> 1.0

694,000-758,000-----------> 1.1

759,000-825,000-----------> 1.2

I think both soaps are going to increase before they go off the air just like ATWT did. Those soaps still had the audience only if someone would have given a damn. GL was too gone for the viewers to return.

LOL I'm upset because OLTL still has potential while AMC as been dead for a long time. OLTL has proven they're able to go up in the ratings. I hope OLTL rockets up the ratings for the big return in May - a big story has proven to be able to gain ratings.

Toups Giddens! :P

OLTL's numbers were really lousy last year at this time (HH & Viewers), that's part of the reason they have big year to year gains even on weeks where they dont have numbers as fabulous as this week. Seasons change, although AMC's 18-49 remains weak whatever the year.

Happy to see the big HH jump for AMC. Over 500,000 in 18-49 is good after facing those 2 weeks of 400,000+! But, see this is what I mean, even when they have much more viewers than usual their 18-49 tends to remain surprisingly low. The first 2 months of 2010 they were getting 2.8 million viewers but still barely getting out of the bottom half in 18-49

I'm going to credit all the press coverage rather than Easter break for AMC/OLTL's gains. I was looking at the numbers for the past few years - on Easter week - a few days ago and there were both falls and much smaller gains.

Was this the week all the cancellation news came out??

OLTL did go up but B&B is on a downslide big time. OLTL really hasnt moved that much HH wise. It is because B&B has fallen so much that OLTL is tied with them and AMC is right behind.

Days stable awful numbers are alarming....it's at the bottom of the cellar.....

I agree with Toups. OLTL is truly on an upswing has been for a while. I hope Frons is eating crow right now. OLTL is also closing the gap in demos with GH and also has th e potential to rise in the ratings. I hope SOS really can save OLTL

Brad Bell has to be saying WTF about OLTL gaining on him like that. Just goes to show how much trouble B&B is really in. I wonder what he is going to do.

Good for OLTL. It almost reminds me of Days gradual rise a couple of years ago with that baby switch story. I hope they continue

on that path. They have a good shot to continue to beat out the competition with the upcoming return and related storyline.

Soapsuds is right for once. Days basement ratings are very alarming. Their Demos have tanked as well. This is what week 4 or 5 for them? I do think it's time for some new energy. Now would be the prime time to get a new team to hopefully boost ratings in time for that renewal. But it all maybe just a lost cause anyway.

What are you talking about General Hospital is in 2nd place in the ratings. That is probably why it's still on the air. It did almost got canceled, but ABC gave it one more chance to get it's ratings up. Cause they were going to cancel all 3 ABC soaps.

    • You're right, but that also sums up why the show is so unwatchable these days. Any character could go on a Postal-style rampage and it would generate a shrug.
    • I'd be surprised if it was. Money is money. And yeah, Kathy's done all those things but tbh given the current tally for ruinous character choices in EE in recent years I'm kind of numb to it and find hers small potatoes by comparison.
    • Does anyone know the air dates on these first encounters? Nikki meeting Brittany Nikki meeting Amber Victor meeting Deacon
    • I’m up to August 5, 1996. Another change to the opening music. The hollow whooshing sound is gone and they’ve add a soft rock, synthesizer-style sound to this more upbeat version. Ugh - they let Gilly and Griffin kiss before she found out the truth. So gross, what’s the point? And now once the truth has come out, Charles is like “oh yeah, I’ve always known he was your father, no big deal”?  What was all of this for? If he really always knew, he should have had a reaction when Griffin came to town last year, just like Vivian did.  I will say, the acting in the reveal scene was amazing, both actresses killed it. Now Vivian lost her husband, who is leaving her, and her daughter… and she already lost her son. The writers really trashed this entire family for nothing, how sad. She’s now running around town blaming everything on Griffin and trashing his name, but lady, no, it’s all your fault! I think I now just got to Gilly’s last episode (Aug 1). She just announced to the family at dinner that she’s leaving town for good and will not reach back out to her mother. What a terrible ending to this character and the family. Finally found a time I liked Alan. Marah (of course) and Shayne sneak away and go wandering on 5th street alone, but Shayne stays back in the abandoned building, just as they’re about to blow it up. Alan is sweet to Marah and realizes Shayne might still be there, so he runs to the building and tries to stop them from detonating the explosives, but he’s too late… he finally has a heart here haha. Although I guess this is still all his fault.  Watching Josh and Reva react to Shayne’s voice from within the rubble was really moving, great acting across the board here (Annie too). Ok, so Zachary shows up while everyone runs away from the rubble that’s falling, and he steps into it and finds Shayne. So is he like an angel or something supernatural? Because I don’t love supernatural stuff on my soaps unless that’s ‘normal’ for the show.  But Alan does eventually go in with Josh, so he’s risking his life to save Shayne, and that’s great. I was a huge Lucy/A-M fan and loved watching their relationship, but most couples work well when the actors have good chemistry. For me, now that Rick Hearst is gone, the relationship just isn’t working for me, sadly. I feel like Lucy and Zachary have better chemistry now haha. Abby’s mom has returned and she’s just highly frustrating and awful - that’s all. J just mentioned he has a sister - who is that? Unless she’s older and an adult, it’s a bit odd that she’s not around since now both Nola and Quint are in Springfield. She didn’t show at Henry’s funeral either, nor was mentioned. So Roger is now in the loony bin, after losing his court case. I’m side-eyeing Blake on this one. She was completely torn, which was nice to see, but she ultimately sided with Dinah/Hart which annoyed me. But, Bridget continues to win for me - she’s one of my favorites - and she just called out Dinah/Hart on their BS, and I’m here for it. If there were ever a moment for a slap, Dinah deserves one from Bridget. Speaking of slaps, I haven’t seen a single slap in the 18 months I’ve been watching this show!  Does GL just not traditionally do slaps? It’s a soap staple that I enjoy haha. Alex continues to be one of my favorites, likely because I’m such a fan of Dusay, her theatrics and heavy breathing. She keeps referring to Amanda as “Little Miss Madame” and it cracks me up.  Speaking of Amanda, she now just overheard nurses gossiping that Blake is having twins with two different fathers, so she knows the secret! This should get good now that she’s re-entered Ross/Blake’s orbit. Ah, so the A.Spaulding in question that paid Neil Everest off to frame Phillip was Alan-Michael!  Well, Lucy found a check he wrote to Neil, so I’m assuming so… this isn’t that interesting of a storyline though, so hopefully this doesn’t drag on too much longer. Now I just found out that Neil and Alan were cellmates in prison…it keeps going. And finally, Annie just faked a prescription for more pills and she just saw a ‘bad Annie’ image of herself who is encouraging her addiction.  Annie is officially talking to herself and since I know Jeva won’t allow a Josh/Annie relationship to survive, I’m all here for crazy Annie! Whoa! Griffin just got shot while giving a speech on 5th Street.  Curious to see what happens here, even though I’m not a Griffin fan.

    • I definitely think FV wanted to pair Kristina and Lucky.  Why else would Lucky decide to become a bartender at her stupid bar?  Lucky was a cop, a crusader?-whatever he was doing in Africa and all these years away.   It makes zero sense for him to just be content tending bar for some flakey girl he knew since she was born.  Have him work with Spinelli at PI firm or something.  There were also some scenes with Kristina and Lucky that seemed like the show was leaning in that direction.  I also suspect JJ was extremely unhappy with that idea lol. As far as Lulu, I certainly don't miss the JMB smug era.  I hate that BLQ looks like a poor, innocent victim being tortured by Lulu at every turn though.  
    • I do think she's been pretty wrecked, having tried to kill someone in cold blood, letting her whole family (including the woman pregnant with her great-grandchild) get charged or questioned, and having no remorse, but it doesn't matter as much because Kathy has not existed as a character since Gillian's return anyway.  There are reasons to bring Max back, like Lauren and his not knowing he had a child with Linda, but he is exhausted, with Jake Wood phoning it in years before he left.  I am a little surprised about Zoe because Michelle Ryan said for years she didn't want to return, to the point of even asking the show to recast the role, but I guess this may only be a short stint. I wouldn't be shocked if they kill Zoe off.
    • HAHAHA. Yeah, that's my bad. I misread that line. Sorry about going into "Unnecessary" detail about my username. Anyway, I love the story behind your Username.    reading on my phone...

    • 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.
