Members kalbir Posted November 17, 2023 Members Share Posted November 17, 2023 I think you're right. It disappoints me that Robert Calhoun era GL was so low-rated. I don't believe that the tail end of supercouple Days was a better show than Robert Calhoun era GL. SOD named Andy alcoholism best storyline and Bob/Kim/Susan best triangle in the Best of 1990 issue. The write-ups are here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted November 17, 2023 Members Share Posted November 17, 2023 It was some great storytelling. Too bad it didn't reflect in the ratings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GLATWT88 Posted November 17, 2023 Members Share Posted November 17, 2023 The end of 89 saw a ratings improvement for GL, but it wasn't sustained. There also is an overall downward trend for all the soaps at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kalbir Posted November 18, 2023 Members Share Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) Y&R April 1990 George Rawlins murder and Katherine/Marge storylines were coming to an end. One Life to Live is tanking. Was Andrea Evans departure in April 1990? Days got a boost this week. Was this the week that Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso returned? B&B this week Caroline learns of her illness. Edited November 18, 2023 by kalbir 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GLATWT88 Posted November 18, 2023 Members Share Posted November 18, 2023 Thanks. Interesting to see more dates on the list from 87 than 88 or 89. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted November 18, 2023 Members Share Posted November 18, 2023 Second half of 1987 was a mess across the board because of Iran-Contra and Nielsen people meters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted November 18, 2023 Members Share Posted November 18, 2023 It ranked #6 and #4 but can't believe the number was so low for ATWT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted November 18, 2023 Members Share Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) @Soapsuds As the World Turns should gain ground in May and June since One Life to Live appears to be tanking. There was a week in summer 1990 where As the World Turns was 2nd and some weeks that summer they were 3rd.

Members AbcNbc247 Posted November 18, 2023 Members Share Posted November 18, 2023 If anyone's curious about that little bump Days got the week of the 16th, that was the week Bo came back and when Jack kidnapped Jennifer from her wedding to Emilio 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
