Dang that blows for them.

Huge drops in demos for General Hospital but still slightly up in viewers and steady in households. Still not a good sign for General Hospital.

I've actually been enjoying GH. That's definitely a pretty big drop for them in the 18-49 demo. I hope if the quality we had at the Nurses Ball can be consistent, lapsed viewers may come back.

As for BTG, good for them. Slow and steady wins the race. It's performing better in the demos than I expected. I just need the total viewers to get over 2M and I'll be happy.
