Our saying holds true.... "As the temperature goes down - the ratings go up!".... I may be hating this cold weather in real life, but hopefully having 2+weeks in a row of bitter cold temps (and in turn, increased soap viewing) some lapsed viewers may stick around with all the soaps! Congrats to all four!

Only Y&R and B&B had higher numbers that day everyone else had higher numbers midweek when the big storm hit. It is nice to see Y&R with a 4.0 rating on Monday and B&B rating on 2.9 on Monday and Wednesday. Days with 2.2s....but the big return was the lowest of week. Looks like GH's numbers are neutralizing...only soap not to go up in HHs and the lowest gain in viewers from the soaps.

"Everyone else" is the other two shows. :) My only point is that MLK day definitely helps soaps regardless of the weather. The cold winter has certainly been a boon to all soaps, which proves that the audience is there. It's unfortunate that soaps are only rated on Live+Same Day, unlike prime time show, which publicizes Live +3 & Live+7. Although the soaps do use Live+7 for season ratings, but we rarely see those ratings.

    • I think it’s high time we get Shanice out of just being at the hospital.
    • Darn it, Nosy Nurse! You gave SilkPress too much info.   Oh, lord...here comes Dani.   And I have an appointment so I will have to finish later.

          And THIS is why I love this show. I was hoping they would play this beat cuz of...Lulu.   It has not disappointed so far at all. 
    • Shanice was SO good with Leslie today omg!!
    • -- Gio is bringing the cake in that lifeguard getup.  -- Why are Laura and Sonny at the Metro Court pool?

        I look forward to seeing all the characters who show up at this pool all summer. Oh, look, there's Ezra!  -- Couldn't Brennan have done a better job -- or any job at all -- of keeping Anna from investigating Dalton? Seemed to me that all he did was give her every reason to do that. -- GH does the courtroom stuff very well. We get absurd lines of questioning that no one objects to or that the judge allows, but it's good TV.
    • 1985 was a rough year for the show.  Paul Rauch had a disastrous end to his 12 year run as executive producer in early 1983.  Allan Potter, AWs original executive producer, returned to the show in 1983 and stayed until the end of 1984.  He truly turned the show around quickly.  He made the show watchable and entertaining again.  When Potter’s retirement was announced P&G was going to transfer Mary Ellis Bunim from ATWT to AW. Instead, she went to Santa Barbara to work with the Dobsons again.  This was when Schenkel was hired and made one bad choice after another.  
    •   More Supremes parallel: Today Anita told Vernon that she'd anonymously sent money to Barbara's family, but it didn't relieve her feeling of guilt. I didn't realize that the Supremes were originally named the Primettes.
    • Hahahaha!!! Not Sharon with a better wig. But...could we be seeing an actual rival for Anita.   Mmmm...hey Andre hey!    Chief Executive of Orgasm is taking me out. It is weird seeing Dani in that nightie after just watching Y&R birthday party for Nikki and thinking that was what Abby was wearing and found it a miss.    Oh, lord, Bill! Hush! Big baby!!!   OMG! Nosy Nurse....read her a$$!!
    • Yeah I’m glad Anita put a stop to that. What Anita did was wrong and it’s okay for her to admit and feel what she did was wrong. The Duprees have to be wrong at some time.
