It shows Toups that Jean and Shelley were let go too soon. Even their demos are up from last year. Finally starting to gel and getting replaced by Pratt was not the answer. They could have worked with Kay Alden.

Their firing were perfectly justified due to the new lows/tie lows they were getting for a lenghty period. Nobody could defend those numbers. Everyone saw the firing coming.

Y&R offliners don't know who Gina is and she's not a big enough name to "caues a spike".

It was the wedding of Nick and Sharon plus Phyliss returning for the wedding....glad it did get a bump ...I've been watching as of late and I am glad Sharon's secret wasn't revealed at the wedding.

I'm including the second demical point now for more detailed ratings. Before, if a show had a 1.54 it would be rounded down to a 1.5. So if the following week, a show got a 1.56, it would be rounded to a 1.6 - the difference in the week would be a +.1, but with the second decimal point, you see it was actually only an increase 0.02.

I like it. Admittedly, it takes some getting used to but it adds to accuracy.

GH down in every single category, long overdue. I think the crap writing is finally starting to take effect

Ok. I won't necessarily credit GT, although I think she's doing a fabulous job. But Phyliss's return has been huge IMO and had tremendous impact. The buildup has been teased perfectly. again jmo. Compare and contrast to Jasan's resurrection.

I can't help but think to myself if Michelle Stafford has seen the ratings for GT's "big debut"- perhaps she will ponder why she left and decided to join the 2 million viewer-less / #3 show??
