Members rsmith2k2 Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 You KNOW I did, Simone coming out is what lead me to watch Passions. I liked Simone right away and I like Passions and it's particularly quirky niche in the world. Yeah, baby. Credit to Passions, *gulp* JER and NBC who took things further than AMC did on the physical expression but AMC, despite how badly they f*cked things up, did better portraying relationships for Bianca, imo. But that may change as we move through Simone's story. I was very very proud of Passions for those scenes though. And golly gee, the world didn't come crashing to an end after all. Simone's thang with Rae seemed sort of random though and didn't flow, they rewrote them about every time Rae appeared. I can deal with all that on some levels though as it's a soap. I am probably in the minority but the actor playing Rae doesn't do it for me and I don't think she and Cathleen Doe didn't have a lot of physical chemistry. Cathy's getting better, more confident/comfortable with the physical expressions as she goes along, though. And she is as KA-YOOT, as can be. I adore Paloma, too...the actress just makes me giggle. Paloma is hotter than Rae (to me) and more personality-appropriate for Simone. Also Simone being with a core-family character is really important for longevity's sake. I hope, hope, hope they put them together for a whole other sort of Lesbian Rampage. *wink* Back More on topic: I'm *this* close to start paying real attention to DOOL again. I keep up and half/kind watch, listen to it in the background now. I am happy for the show's fans and in my own self-interest as an AMC fan, I hope DOOL"s scores a ratings bonanza that leaves McT and Frons crying like leetle gurls...and on their way out.

Members SteveFrame Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 We would probably be at that 2.8 if we had the J/M fans back. Days was stupid for doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Manny Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 Wow, 7 out of 9 soaps have more viewers than they had last year at this time.... that's soooo great to see! Does anyone think that soaps might start increasing in viewers maybe?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kwing42 Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 Interesting to see what would happen if GL passed ATWT in the ratings...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 It frustrates me to no end to know that ATWT does so great in the Women 50+ ratings, yet TPTB don't seem to want to acknowledge that. It's like they're ashamed to say that their best ratings come from the "old ladies." Honestly, if the old ladies continue to watch the show now, adding just a pinch of vets-in-storylines would probably do wonders. All it would take is the return of Don Hughes and a triangle with Lisa and Susan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members psychofan Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 How in the WORLD is OLTL ranked so high!?!?!?! Last week was VERY boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dtchicago Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 And how come its rating point is so low?? I don't get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PJA Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 It's not just an old lady's soap..but a men's soap as well. It's always in the top half of the male demos. In fact the whole CBS line up usually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Carolyn1980 Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 The ratings point represents households, not individual people. So we can pretty much figure out from OLTL's high number of viewers that OLTL's households had more viewers watching the show. Old men. Old, retired men watching with their wives. Whether they want to or not, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sungrey Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 Agreed. As an old-time fan since the early 1980s, it's good to see characters like Patch and Kayla bring up the show's profile. THIRD place. Wow. Days has to fire headwriters more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PJA Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 That's possible but you can't say that for sure because it says men 18+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted July 1, 2006 Members Share Posted July 1, 2006 Honestly, I don't get it. Day-to-day, ATWT does very good it seems, sometimes in the top half, sometimes staying towards the bottom, yet for the whole week, the bottom prevails.

Members Ms. Walsh Posted July 1, 2006 Members Share Posted July 1, 2006 I know so many men who watch ATWT, and they're not 50+. Isn't it surprising, that a show like ATWT that's supposed to be for "old ladies" gets bigger ratings w/ men than a show w/ the mafia and shoot-outs every damn week. Just saying... The show needs to start looking at its two key demos (Women 50+, Men 18+) and start respecting them; otherwise, P&G is going to can both its soaps next year.

Members Carolyn1980 Posted July 1, 2006 Members Share Posted July 1, 2006 I can't remember exactly where I read it.....but I read that over 80% of male soap viewers were over 50. That seems reasonable to me, since my grandparents (both sets) have always watched the CBS soaps, and my grandfathers don't seem particularly interested in them despite watching with my grandmothers. And the truth is, the networks would be perfectly willing to lose every single male soap viewer, because they don't make a dime off them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
