Wow Y&R went up lets see what happened last week, oh that is right the wedding and Phyllis finding out she is pregnant.

[SteveFrame]

Wow all the shows went up this week and 4 of them were up .2. That's great.

The only downside is that ABC will still give us crap the rest of the months and pull out the big stuff for sweeps. And we will keep getting the stunts stuff like JR almost killing someone (this time Kendall), the big short term returns on GH, and the big disasters and explosions like this months tornado on OLTL. It is sickening. For months now we have put up and sat through crap on OLTL and now the show is rocking. There is no reason it couldn't do that all along. But the ratings have gone up and guess what ABC will go back to crap after May and we will get it until most likely around November.

[SarahJoyBrownFF]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OLTL must not gain during sweeps! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BRAVO for CBS! I love that Guiding Light went up! Y&R, well they are the champs! ATWT, Grayson McCouch is keeping my attention.

[Jackfan143]

DOOL made it back to a real 24.5 not 2.5 still trailing major behind the rest of the soap. Maybe they need to dump these boring stories and disgusting contrived forced couples.

FIRE REILLY! SAVE DAYS!

[Ms. Walsh]

Nice to see all the CBS soaps rise, especially GL and Y&R up .2!

I know that the ABC soaps are going to gain during sweeps though. Yuck. Well, during the summer the CBS soaps fare better. I appreciate that they don't pull off big stunts during sweeps.

[PhoenixRising05]

Knew Days would rebound but not that much in demos and HH.

This week they will definitely go up with Jack returning and J&M and next week with BOPe finding each other and Alex saying sayanara it should be another good week.

Days is looking good right now.

Good job to all the soaps. Steve is right about ABC-they keep getting these huge numbers during sweeps and that means they will give you crap now until November. CBS and NBC should just wait it out because once sweeps are over summer is their's.

[crc]

And don't forget about the Winters Drama. YEAH!!! A freakin' fantastic week for Y&R and the ratings are totally deserved.

[cody_1990]

i am glad to see days and the rest of the soaps go up, this was a good week for all the soaps

i also think abc pulls all these sweeps stunts for february,may and november then for the rest of the months of the year the ratings and sometimes the show is not good, i remember last year some of the abc soaps were geting bad ratings then when sweeps rolled around they pulled out big stunts to get ratings and it worked but then when sweeps was over there ratings were back down again. abc depends to much on sweeps

[Angela]

Toups, SOW says DAYS got a 2.2 for the week of May 1. And that OLTL got a 2.5...and that B&B got a 3.1...and that ATWT got a 2.4. The SON Ratings we have, have each soap .1 higher - just wondering who is right and who is wrong...

[King]

I'm happy DAYS went up, but I'm still not really happy about where it is. It needs to be higher! Hopefully, it will keep going up.

[anita30]

And you know what after reading what I put I said I forgot to add that and of course the Winters as well.

[Gray Bunny]

Whoo hoo! Glad to see +'s for ALL of daytime! That's always a good thing. I'm especially happy to see the CBS line-up go up, particularly GL and Y&R for going up 2 tenths. Now, if GL can just hold on to that 2.3 the next time DAYS dips (if that happens), GL could finally see 7th place again!

Also: Nice to see GL is not in last place for any demographic!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the big day of Luke's coming out on last Tuesday? He said the big 'G' word on the Monday cliffhanger and it continued over into the next day.

[Ms. Walsh]

Yes, and Tuesday was the day that they ran the GLADD PSA. I know that the spoilers mentioned Tuesday as the day that Luke came out, even though he actually did it at the end of Monday's episode.
