Members 2shane8 Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Toadstool Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 I have no doubt they'll lowball OL's relative successes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpiritualJunkie Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 Seems like a lot of people only tuned into GL to see Jonathan's ITL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 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.

Members King Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 Wow OLTL beating both AMC and GH, that doesn't happen very often and GH the last out of them all... Interesting week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Toadstool Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpiritualJunkie Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 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.

Members King Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jess Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dtchicago Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KBT Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
