June 9-13, 2014: GH #1 in Women 18-49 Demo

[Bright Eyes]

I don't think anything will happen until, at least, the end of July sweeps. The only interesting part would be, who out there would still want the job at this point?

[sivad40]

If that was to happen, Robin would probably get credit for the ratings increase.

Why is it that JP and JFP is at fault for Y&R's declining ratings but RC and FV doesn't get any credit for GH's ratings rise? I know when it comes to ratings transitive property is used in some cases, and is dismissed in other cases.

[Soapsuds]

A 2.2 HH rating and a 1.1 in demo is nothing to write home about. Supposedly they are putting their best outstanding stuff on air and yet they can't even beat B&B in the ratings.

[JONNYSBRO]

Soapsuds please three months of steady ratings post KM is excellent.

[rhinohide]

I've never said ratings aren't stable. Stunt casting obviously > than good stories.

[rhinohide]

Not sure who you mean, but you quoted my post. I think Billy Miller/Jason will get credit too. Just like Michelle Stafford gets credit for current ratings.

I don't blame JFP. I'm enjoying Y&R right now. And RC and FV do get credit. For the clever casting stunts.

GO CARTINI!

Can't wait till they bring on Billy Miller as Jason....tangling with Nina and Ava..wow...must watch TV. And then when Michael Muhney shows up as Dr. Tom Hardy and fires Obrect and takes over the hospital...zoom to number 1..

JFP and this writing team will get through end of year. They've already got ED coming back in Sept as Ash and they are going to recast Adam. I think Sony will wait out a very lame/anemic summer to see if they can turn it around.

Haven't you heard? Y&R's ratings will spike once DT is off the screen. Yeah, right. Y&R is so unbelievably inconsistent - episode to episode - they tone and feel varies, etc.

[aMLCproduction]

From your lips to God's ears. I just fear the devil we don't know. At this point who could they get.

I do think it's time for a change in the writing department at Days.

[jo.frank88]

Oh Days... I do have hope with Eve on our screens now.. and with Eileen coming soon - but this is proof that having Daniel on our screens 5 days/week being a hero and seeing Jennifer ball her eyes out 5 days/week over Danny boy is NOT what we want to see!

[JONNYSBRO]

Honestly in a weird way I think Jean Passanante would be a better fit for DAYS. She should be named another co head writer and bring Lorraine to Y and R. It's a great idea and solution for both

[rhinohide]

I'm relieved you don't have any say in these decisions. Then soaps would all be parodies of decent story telling.

[allmc2008]

I am not familiar with Kay Aldens stuff but I do no she was Bill's protege. If she doesn't get it who should? Did he have another protege that is competent? Is there a non-Bill Bell writer that should get the show?

I do wonder what Brad would do with the show if he wanted it.

[allmc2008]

I do wonder what a Lorraine/Kay co-writing team would look like on Y&R.

At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if they announced a Pratt/Mctavish co-HW regime for Y&R but at least it won't be boring....

[RavenWhitney]

I think if these writers don't work out, they will bring in another non-winning combo like McPherson/Lisa Conner or they may bring Hogan back as sole HW with Passanante and Thompson as his wingmen.
