June 8, 200619 yr Member The real interest for me is whether we will get an ABC ratings report this week. Some of you may recall that the last time OL was ABC's #1 soap (during the week of the Daniel Colson exposure a little over a year ago), there was no ratings report issued. Some said there was one issued, but we never saw it on SON. I was always suspicious, and I am eager to see if they put one out this time. I still think that Frons and company DO NOT LIKE IT when OL finishes ahead of GH, which is very, very rare.

June 8, 200619 yr Member Way to go One Life to Live!!!!!! I love that OLTL beat AMC and GH for the week, and how GH finished in last place for the week!
June 8, 200619 yr Member Things still look bleak for Passions. +.2 increase and at a 1.6!?!?! OWWWW!! And if Monday counted, NBC soaps would be lower than they are. God, we need changes ASAP.

Well we are getting them but all the show's numbers stink with the exception of OLTL and that is because Higley reused the Sami execution plot from Days. This was a huge increase for Days because of what is coming up. They could actualy find themselves in a good place in the next few weeks with all the other shows dropping.
June 8, 200619 yr Member Seems like a lot of people only tuned into GL to see Jonathan's ITL. True! I didn't notice that. Hope so, Phoenix. But we need the changes ASAP. Not to be on screen for August and the fall. IMO.
June 8, 200619 yr Member Wow OLTL beating both AMC and GH, that doesn't happen very often and GH the last out of them all... Interesting week.
June 8, 200619 yr Member What's "Jonathan's ITL"? Aside from a few minutes here and there I haven't seen GL in ages. Anything involving Pelphrey's character gets me ... nevermind.
June 8, 200619 yr Member I just think Jonathan's ITL was well-written. He's had quite a bit of airtime lately with lackluster ratings but on Wednesday, they really focused on the character while using it to drive a story. It wasn't all about character with no story movement nor was it strictly plot-driven...I think that's what made his work so well. Not to mention the acting was phenomenal. Watching that show...I couldn't help hating how selfish Jonathan was being while at the same time, I felt bad for him because he clearly wasn't happy with the life he was leading.

Every Wednesday, the show focuses on one Character and follows him or her throughout the town. It's called IN THE LIGHT (ITL). Wednesday's was Jonathon's but I missed it.
June 8, 200619 yr Member People tuned into OLTL on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday because of the Todd reveal. By Friday, OLTL was back down to its usual numbers. Last year in May, shes feature a story with Nora, Daniel, Bo. The ratings hit 3.0 and beat out GH and AMC. they following two weeks, it dropped to it old position. So, she pulls a gimmick, gets good ratings and goes back to the same ol crap. Why don't Frank and Dena write good show year around instead of pulling stunts.

The problem with last years "stunt" involving Daniel was that the story ended rather quickly after the big reveal. I see things different with the Todd story. I think people should give Higley a chance and see what happends with this story. If anything, she did something no other writer did during sweeps which was goose her shows ratings to a place it normally doesnt sit.

June 8, 200619 yr Member WOW, OLTL number three in HH and above both AMC and the darling GH in the demos, sorry but I freaking love it! If DAYS can just stay where it is, I think June is DAYS month and can get back into 3rd consistently for the summer.
