GH: September 2024 Discussion Thread

[Contessa Donatella]

So next week GH not on 3 days. Will it help? Will it not? I'm baffled. Both on ABC & also on ESPN. Are the baseball playoffs really that much of a thing?

So Sonny is having a whole coffee date with Natalia just free as a bird while Alexis in jail

I’m glad Chase called out Dante. The whole Corinthos crew just kills me.

Believe me, Sonny paying for Marty for Alexis is as far as he will go.

@Darn called it 'Maurice Benard staring at Eva LaRue's tits for six months' and that's about the size of his day to day storyline as I see it.

All four Davis Girls today and KM returned. I am loving the show.

Knight's accent changes every day. What an actor!!!

 

GH has been under 2M viewers per month, and those demos are not good.

Baseball is the bastard stepchild to the NFL when it comes to ratings, but its audience is younger and more affluent than GH's.

Speaking as a Padres fan...YES.

Hmmm sounds like they lost the duality of Dante's storyline again.

Chase should not have talked to Krissy without her Lawyer present. Chase knows better

Get Lucky back to PC. Start up the Lu Lu Lucky Laura story. I could not care less about the newest Baddie wanting diamonds.

Okay. Didn't know.

I thought today was an excellent day, as far as that might go, lately at GH. Holly cracked me up. Arrive too late but boldly announce, "I am here to save the world!" Marty, again good with Alexis. Not so sure about with Molly. Still say awful haircut, WHY? And, I've decided that y'all are right & he needs the facial hair. Krissy with her dad, yes, they just work. Jordan really has a thing for Isaiah, doesn't she? Sam has a lot of nerve. Wonder why she didn't make her appeal directly to Sonny?! Sam was a little off. Is it that Carly is doing nothing or is it that Carly is pulling Jason's strings? Pick one, you can't have it both ways. The person I feel the most sorry for is, well, Blaze. But the second most, that would be Dante. I don't know how he is going to get through this. And, his partner Chase was a little rough on him.

I think the entire Lucky storyline is dreadfully boring.

While I agree the ratings will probably be better than GH's for baseball playoffs and don't really care one way or the other.  Is the baseball audience more affluent that GH's though?  Younger?  Sure.  But more affluent?  I don't think so.  

[Soapsuds]

It's a disaster and the ratings are reflecting it.

 

Can't wait! Playoff time!!

GH will be only on Monday and Friday?

[ranger1rg]

You may be right about that.

What's not up for argument is that younger people are much more likely to SPEND their money and to spend more of it than older people. There's a reason television aims for a younger audience.

In addition, I guarantee advertisers are paying more for ads on MLB games than on GH. Face it, the soaps are filled with ads for medication, and you'll see much more variety on the games.

As usual with shows that are circling the old drain, by the time TPTB do anything about the state of GH, it'll be too damn late.

[Contessa Donatella]

Some say that the argument that one demo is better than another is really not meaningful & advertisers just sold that idea back awhile ago.

Just the other day some people were remarking on how the ads for GH had improved so, specifically citing pharma versus advertisers like, I think they said, Macy's. I have to admit I really don't notice them. I used to but I just don't anymore.
