Okay thanks. Since it's so recent, I won't mention it in the report. However, I think this could be the first time in a couple of years (or maybe first time ever?) OLTL is #1 in Women 18-34. Anyone know the weeks of Todd's execution and the Daniel Colson is gay reveal? Need to check to those weeks.

Are you saying OLTL is alone in first place among women 18-34? Because it's been tied for first several times this summer in that category, including last week.

I recall OLTL hitting #1 in demos for Dorian hitting Jessica in 1999. ABC had a big cake for JFP and it helped her get the GH gig the following year. I can't remember if it was #1 for 18-34, too or just 18-49 though.

Todd's execution was May 29, 2006.

Not Toups, but I think he's going by 18-34 VIEWERS which is what breaks those ratings point ties.

If OLTL is now beating the other soaps in 18-34 viewers, that is HUGE slap in the face to Frons.

I agree. I've read where people have said they don't think he cares, but I can't believe that to be true. They must be reeling right now, praying the Chew and Revolution succeeds.

But he never shares those 18-34 viewer figures with us, so it wouldn't be in the archive.

I checked those weeks and not even close to #1 in W18-34.

OLTL is #1 all by itself.

OLTL definitely hit #1 in 18-49. Not sure about 18-34 either.

Thanks. OLTL didn't hit #1 in 18-34 there.

#1 in Rating. I don't do W18-34 Viewers for some reason. LOL

I checked those weeks and not even close to #1 in W18-34.

Okay thanks. I don't suppose anyone has the 18-34 numbers from 1999? LOL

Maybe he's referring to the Nielsen database archives. The numbers are in there. I used to get access to them.

No, lol....just say OLTL was all alone at number one for the first time this century : )

And remember, sites like TVByTheNumbers use your data (and sometimes, your commentary), so make sure you say that OLTL *has* been number one in that category lately, just not all alone there like this past week. Otherwise, they'll act like it's just a fluke it's number one.

Hmm, I might actually have them on my old computer drive, Toups. I used to track JFP's numbers very closely. I'll check and get back to this weekend, ok?

EDITED - DAYS had those old press release touting them at #1 18-49 for like 500+ weeks straight. In 1998, GH soared and beat Days in 18-49 and DAYS started to tout #1 18-34 then stopped.

What happened to GH on Tuesday? There's no daily ratings for them.

That was the day of the earthquake but thats weird. Here in NY it did not air at all but it must have aired elsewhere.

That was the east coast earthquake....did it get pre-empted nationwide, though?

ETA: abc.com has a recap of Tuesday, 8/23, so I guess it did air elsewhere in the country.

Come "again" (so to speak)?

W 18-34

08/01-05/11

2. GH 0.6/3 (same/-.2)

2. OLTL 0.6/4 (same/same)

08/08-12/11

1. GH 0.7/4 (+.1/-.1)

1. OLTL 0.7/4 (+.1/+.1)

08/15-19/11

1. Y&R 0.7/5 (+.1/-.3)

1. OLTL 0.7/5 (same/+.1)

1. GH 0.7/4 (same/-.2)

To whom is it significant that OLTL tied for #1 in a demo category again? During August alone, GH has been ABCD's #1 soap, drawing more viewers in the only place it has always counted - the key demo. We all know that ratings are irrelevant to the number crunchers. Now the 18-34 demo means something to them?

It's not a GH v. OLTL thing. Both shows will be gone come this time next year. The reason some of us care about OLTL's numbers - HH, demos, etc. - is because they higher they are, the worst The Revolution is going to look this time next year. I don't think Frons regrets killing the soaps; I don't think he's going to reconsider keeping OLTL on the air. But the higher the ratings, the worse it's going to make The Revolution look.

The episode did air on SoapNet.

Oh right, the earthquake. Thanks.
