Rut-ro. ATWT is in the basement with GL.

And funny that GL beat ATWT and PASSIONS in the 18-49 demos this week. Do those always fluctuate as to who is at the bottom?

GH's Laura returning will goose the ratings for GH, but not nearly enough to unseat Y&R. Y&R is clearly ahead of its competition.

Question for those who follow the ratings for Y&R. Has there been any positive or negative impact on the ratings since it was added to soapnet?

[anita30]

To answer your question I think its gotten more ratings since showing on Soapnet. It continues to go up.

[DAYSisHOT]

Its GREAT to see Days in the 3rd posistion! When is the last time this happened. I hope the show can keep it up!

[Wendy]

LMAO at GH. You mean, not ONE happy couple and incessant Carly propping DOESN'T bring in ratings?!

Who knew?

And, in my world, since Scrubs were BARELY on last week, even better.

Fire Guza. Get real writers!

[King]

Thank ya LAWD JESUS! I needed to see some positives for the DAYS wedding or I would have been DE-PRESSED!

Sorry, Passions. Eeek.

I'm surprised at Y*R's gain. It was actually REALLY boring last week.

[dayslover]

ATWT is too low for so much good stories. Atwt is better then ever. They only need Kristina Sisco (Abbigail) to return to the show.

[King]

Oh, I also take pleasure in GL rising and GH falling.

Hopefully, DAYS fans who tuned in last week like what they see and continue to watch!

B&B, we're coming for YOU, !@#$%^&*]!

[darraholic]

I'm happy to see DAYS at #3. The show has been awesome lately.

Sad about the ATWT numbers

[Ms. Walsh]

Good to see all of CBS go up. B&B and Y&R went up .2, and ATWT and GL went up .1. ATWT was boring last week, so I'm a little surprised by the ratings. Hopefully they'll rebound, but if they don't, I hope TIIC get a clue and start giving us better storylines. Anyway, I think what's happening this week will improve the ratings. But it seems like CBS overall did bad on Wed. and Fri. anyway.

They fluctuate a lot. Last week Passions was on the bottom. And then the other week it was GL. You know, as much as the demos mean to soaps, I'm never surprised that GL and ATWT do so bad. They're the "old lady" soaps (well, ATWT is...I don't know what GL is anymore). At least they do well in that demo still; otherwise, I'd be worried. And my strong belief is that the minute they start catering to that demo, the ratings will improve.

LOL at GH! They get everything they deserve. I'm sure Laura's return will spike the ratings though.

[Andre]

2.8 for Wednesday, cool. Too bad the ratings went down each day after that. Here's hoping the drop the next week isn't huge.

[cal3]

Thanks for the answer. I know I'm watching it some on soapnet in place of the ABC crapfest. So much for the myth of soapnet hurting the daytime ratings.

[KevC1980]

Glad to see Days in 3rd place..they deserve it..the show has improved so much..and i'm glad the wedding and steve and jack's return brought in the ratings..
