[anita30]

EEEEEEEEEE Nick admitting that he has fallen for Phyllis was the highest Y and R day.

[sheilaforever]

EEEEEEEEE Y&R still went down from last week - thanks to all these crappy storylines...

Nice seeing that B&B is moving upwards again although the weekly average remained constant. Yet, this might change next week I guess.

[skiman12082004]

I am happy that PASSIONS and DAYS went up. Hopefully this continues for both shows. I think PASSIONS has been really good lately. Hopefully the rumors that Charity coming back are true and the show returns to its theme of Good vs. Evil.

[Cheap21]

I wish the AMC numbers were highter but those arent too bad. They did high with the 3.1 for the Explosion

[Adam]

Wow AMC went down, oh well... 3.1 for the exlposion (Monday) is awesome!

[alwaysAMC]

Yeah I'm a little disappointed at AMC's numbers - bc they should be higher...but the explosive Monday was nice with 3.1.

[amazing7]

I agree. They could get better numbers if they fire that gawd awful Head Writer of theirs. No one was really interested in who got trap with whom. I know that I wasn't interested in Ryan and Kendall or Zach, Simone and Ethan being trapped together or Ethan dying. Thorsten did an excellent job with Ethan's death, but everything else wasn't interesting at all. If the writing was good than you would not see numbers drop from 3.1 on Monday to 2.9 on Tuesday and another 200,000 viewers. It's the writing. They should be lucky that they go an over 2.8 for the week.

[SteveFrame]

Happy that Days had a better week finally.

[SarahJoyBrownFF]

I adore Nick and Phyllis, if the TPTB at OLTL don't return sanity to Llanview and reunite John and Evangeline, I moving to Genoa City permantely (I'm already taping now...lol) cause I like what I'm seeing.

[All My Shadows]

Actually, many people were interested in who got trapped with whom.

[SteveFrame]

Well it is not only that but I think fans are getting tired of these big disaster storylines or little plots and they are done so poorly. I mean just like when Dynasty has the big shooting at the wedding of Amanda and all this blookd was there and then nothing when it returned. I mean they go to all this big thing to have this bomb to go off and make it look so bad. Then you have a few people slightly injured and one person dies. It is really so unrealistic and I would rather see them go another route and that is any show and not just AMC. They are just getting very annoying. This was a sweeps thing and that was it. She got her 3.1 with people tuning in to see who got hurt. That was the fascination. When it was done just as badly and unrealistic as all the others have been then the fascination was over for many.

[Adam]

I was very interested in who was trapped with who..... even Ryan and Kendall.... I thought everything was set up well....

[edgeofnik]

The ratings for last Monday aren't as high as I would've guess based on the snowstorm that hit the Northeast a couple of days before. It'll be interesting to see the viewer numbers -- i.e., more people stuck in the house watching rather than HHs. ATWT's ratings have really stalled.
