Interesting that the highest OLTL day was the one where TSJTodd dealt with Tea and his kids. That was defiently by far the best episode of the week

Gonna disagree with that. IMO, nothing beats Viki and Dorian's scene. Truly classic.

I thought the Tea, Vodd and kids scenes were good. It's just too bad TSJ decides NOW give us some good acting.

I agree, and Monday of this past week was another great episode and I hope that props up the week filled with pre-emptions.

Viki and Dorian had a scene that week? Im drawing a blank on what that was about

Sorry wrong week. That would have been this week, but my latter comment still stands.

This is it in a nutshell, daytime television viewing has changed, dvr, netflix, on-demand, cable has taken the eyes from the soaps and there is no going back. The networks aren't looking to replace soaps with programming that will last another 20+ years and sorry to say the public doesn't want that either. Shows like the talk and the chew are they for a specific purpose and they are or will fulfill that. Disney/ABC is done they are not regretting their decision at all, they do not think they made a mistake because quite frankly they didn't.

Carolyn is right the most elusive viewer is the most sort after and that just happens to be the viewer between 18-49 and has everything to do with the fact that this group watch the least amount of tv and no it is not because they are watching their shows on the computer either. It's supply and demand the more there is the least valuable it becomes.

TV in general is changing for both Daytime and Primetime. Very soon, network schedule and time zone will no longer matter because the majority of viewers will build their own primetime/must see tv line up via products like Tivo, DVR and the web. It is happening to some extent now but we are only at the beginning of a media evolution which will transform (deconstruct) both the big four broadcast networks and cable. I imagine viewers going to something like an iTunes store to download shows.

I think Prospect Park may come out a big winner with thier online network provided they due a limited selection of programs sort of like the early years of FOX. Eventually, correct formula for selling adverts will be developed based on hits at which point there will be no purpose for local affiliates of cable companies: CBS, for example, would love to eat all the profit.

I do not believe the soap genre is dead when you look at the amount of online unique hits for Y&R and Days. The numbers are huge, come somewhat close to late 1990s ratings when added to live plus DVR, and this is why OLTL and AMC have a new home. I expect the same will happen for other current soaps as well as new soap-themed programming. There is a huge market out there hungry for 'love in the ''afternoon" and smart networks will tap into this reserve.
