OLTL PEEPS HELP!

THAT’S WHY I AM WATCHING.

no doubt in my mind that the OLTL fans have given a lifeline to GH.. YR right now is unbearable they need to clean house with the writing staff!

Well, the OLTL characters are one reason I am trying to “get into” GH. However the best part of GH right now is Robin Mattson.

GH moved up because Days is in chaos and very boring now. Cartini has done nothing special at GH. For the most part they have repeated worn out Guza plots and the show is still the Sonny, Carly, Jason and Sam show. Kris Alderson is doing nothing for the ratings. Michael Easton and Roger Howarth are compelling but this is not their show. This is GH. I wish Cartini would remember that. One Life was ok in it’s place but it wont save GH.

So happy Gh has moved up in the ratings! And it is due to the new writers and OLTL crossovers.
However still want OLTL back and still boycotting ABC/Disney except for watching GH.
YnR..needs a good house cleaning and some new spark to their S/Ls.

OLTL has been a savior to General Hospital and the show has been roaring thr the ratings list ever since OLTL characters have been brought over. It will continue to climb as they add more of OLTL . I like a show that has me sitting on the edge of my seat with my face glued to the screen and thats exactly what Genertal Hospital has done. Kudos to the Directors and Writing staff and the actors, you definately have a “Winner”

Poor Days of Our Lives! It wasn’t bad last week. (Altho these numbers aren’t based on the whole safe house thing, I guess) Other than the snooze-fest that is Carrie and Rafe, the show is interesting most days, at least…. Though yesterday’s episode was a complete bore. Maybe since we now know that nothing happening right now “counts” since the show is getting yet another re-boot people feel. “Why bother?”? Next week Will comes out to Sami and Lucas, supposedly. I wish Sonny was there to support Will with all the “deaths in the family”. Plus, I would love to… Read more »

The producer/writer team from One Life is having a strong impact on GH. Days is suffering from really, really, really BAD writing. The story lines are barely watchable. They have practically ignored their only compelling storyline- Will coming out (Where are the reactions from Sammy and Lucas that I was reading about weeks and weeks ago??) All of the other stories on the canvas are contrived and predictable. Days is my fave soap and I want them to be around for years to come. They have a GREAT cast, filled with lots of characters that we have cared about for… Read more »

It is because of the great writing of Ron Carlivati who recognizes that GH needed to return to its roots. That agendas are not what viewers want to see but good storytelling and character balance. Domination of certain agenda characters turned viewers off. Balance and storylines that fit are what is bringing viewers back. Also, the fact that Ron is mixing things up to right certain wrongs is making me excited about GH again. It’s not so much that the OLTL characters are improving the show. It is the fact that GH now has a head writer that cares about… Read more »

Easily, the incredible talents of RC and FV. But I started watching when I heard that some OLTL’ers were headed that way when OLTL ended. It was pretty miserable for awhile, but when RC and FV started, it got much better and is currently, ON FIRE!

I wish some of you would go to another blog I go to as well. They do nothing but trash GH. Do people not realize that OLTL gave us another year of GH??

Anyway, nice to see ratings going up, this Kate Howard story was fantastically done by Kelly Sullivan. Like the story or not, she performed brialliantly.

Here is to the ‘climb up the ladder’ for GH.!! (though I was disapointed this week)

How many times have I heard that the one life to live crossovers will kill general hospital? Looks like my favorite characters from landview are helping to get those ratings up, Seriously a few more wouldn’t hurt, Vicki, Victor, blair, roxy, The quartermaines need a rich family to keep up with the jones if you get where I’m going with this. I know that you can have so many people and the stories get lost but so many are leaving just replace them with one life to live characters, Because it is working. If general hospital wants to keep seeing… Read more »

I am not at all surprised that Y&R lost that many pairs of eyeballs. My pair of eyeballs won’t count for this week that just ended either. I have a feeling that Y&R will end up in the 2.somethings this next ratings period. Fans are so disgusted, as am I will MAB and her disastrous writing, the grosstastic pairing of Victor and Sharon and of course, last but not least, the shocking firing of Eileen Davidson when MAB has a good boatload of people to get rid of before she should have even thought of firing Eileen. Y&R is headed… Read more »

I absolutely love GH at the moment. Every day I find I cannot get enough and want more. Bringing Ron and Frank to GH has been so incredible. GH was the worst of all the soaps and now it is the best thanks to the brilliant cast, writers and Frank Valentini. What is going to happen next week. Can hardly wait to see. Really want Tea to stay and more OLTL people to come. Still devastated by the loss of AMC and OLTL. ABC and I are permanently done.

GH is the only soap I consistently watch these days (this coming from a life long soap viewer who rarely missed a day of the entire CBS lineup Y & R all the way through to GL, usually by taping it). I love seeing the OLTL stars, but they do need to start coordinating the vets (why didn’t Monica make an appearance when Sam was brought to the hospital after the Ronnie ordeal?. It’s her daughter in law and grandchild, or so she thinks. Shouldn’t she be picking up on the vibes between John & Sam?). I would love to… Read more »

#1 Y&R – unwatchable. I’ve said it so many times, and I’ll say it again: Bell/Hamner/Sheffer need to go. They need a “Ron Carlivati” over at that show, someone who grew up loving the show and someone who understands the characters history, inside and out, someone like me! 🙂 hehe #2 B&B – I just never got into this show. It was always hard for me to believe this was even the “sister” show to the great Y&R over the years. #3 General Hospital – This is a VERY good show. If I didn’t know it before, I know it… Read more »

Disappointed that Days dropped down to 4th. It’s the only soap I watch, so I can’t comment on what is working on the others. What I don’t think has been working with Days, is that, before this week we weren’t seeing much of the cast/characters interacting. We all want our favs on screen, and I’ll admit that if it was John and Marlena, I wouldn’t complain, but I enjoy when characters cross-over into others stories. The show needs to get back to the core families, and stop firing Emmy-Nominated (Matt Ashford) actors, and other vets that the long-time viewers have… Read more »

Y&R has always been my #1 but of late it is nearly unwatchable due to the hacks running/writing this nonsense. Victor and Sharon are just disgusting and I FF through their scenes and will continue to do so. The once great Y&R is becoming a joke and it is sad!!!!! GH is the best written and run show of the daytime shows and I’m not a fan of ABC, have always followed CBS. That said, I can’t wait each day to watch GH. Everything about it has improved. DOOL I only watch for Marlena and Will, the rest of the… Read more »

I cannot believe the chemistry that flew between Tea and Johnny. Not to mention the sparks that flew between the few lines saidby Tea and Carly! Tea is an AWESOME addition to GH. It just keeps getting better!

I WOULD KNOW WENT WILL LIAM FIND OUT THAT HOPE

WAS SET UP BY STEPHAINE “S MOTHER AND STEPSHAINE

GRANDMOTHER.STEPSHAINE FOSTER,.I ALSO WOULD LIKE

TO SEE LIAM BE MARRIED TO HOPE”.I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE

THAT BILL HIS MACHINATIONS IS UNSUUCCED.I BEEN WATCHING

THE BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL FOR TWENTY FIVE YEARS

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE STEFFY MOVE ON TO SOMEONE NEW IN

HER LIFE.MAYBE WITH DR MEADE.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOPE WITH NEW HAIR DO.(ATT MR. BELL)

Bites that Days dropped to last place, but they need to up their game now. Could be in the final stretch, especially if drastic changes aren’t made. So glad that the new team of exec producers and writers (especially the great Lorraine Broderick) stuff should be airing soon!

I watched both OLTL and GH but before RH/FV came i was to the point I almost couldnt watch GH it was dark and no humor. They have injected some of the humor that was needed. I like all the OLTLers they have intergraded they need a few more tho. The John with Sam is not making sense he has always be written to have feelings for Nat and he was so happy to get her back now were to believe he all of a sudden is “drawn to Sam”. Then Todd has always been written as not a bed… Read more »

If GH keeps this up, it might eventually have as many viewers as OLTL.

It’s obvious that FV and RC have little to no interest in GH, they simply miss OLTL too much. For a while on Friday, I thought I was watching an episode of OLTL. They should have just kept OLTL and cancelled GH. There is really nothing about GH that is any different than it has been; people just hear others saying how great it is and just repeat it. You can tell what is going to happen 3 weeks before it happens (does anyone really think Dr. Ewen is going to die? Was anyone shocked that Konnie may have shot… Read more »

Omg I thought I was the only one who was bothered by the nuKyle looking like Muhney’s long lost lil bro! Wtf?!?

So, how soon before we have a “Who Killed Daisy” storyline?

And, will Heather be back (in the form of Jennifer Landon) because Ricky will be leaving (most likely suspect for a dead Daisy)

The ratings for “Y & R” will continue to plummet like a mill stone because of the horribly bad plot-driven “stories” Maria Arena Bell and her co-hacks Hogan Sheffer & Scott Hamner are foisting upon its loyal fans!! SORAS’ing characters that don’t need to be SORAS’ed (Kyle, Summer, Fenmore), ret-coning structured time-lines within the “Y & R” world, creating one-note unlikable characters to carry MAB’s plot-driven slurry (Daisy, Ryder, Tucker, Sofia, Yolanda/Harmony, Sarge, Chelsea, Anita, Avery and worst of all, Genevieve!) – NOTHING IS WORKING IN MAB’S “VISION” of “Y & R”, YET NOBODY HAS TAKEN HER DOWN – WHY?!?… Read more »

Actually, what I think is hurting Days the most is the production of the show – the storyline and scene sequences. I am not sure if I am or can explain this correctly, but I feel that this is bringing it down and part of the problem. If it could be tweaked and cleaned up, it may be able to help the show. I will try to see if I can explain. As far as soaps go the writing and story lines are not that bad right now ( there could be improvements, but better than the year before), the… Read more »

So happy for GH!!! I think Frank & Ron are totally responsible for the GH turnaround…If anyone disputes that ..I would say they are entitled to their opinion but that doesn’t make it a fact..I love the OLTL characters..because I already loved them..GH has cliffhanger almost every day..I DVR everything & watch GH last because in my world I save the best for last…The OLTL peeps came in & had to pick up where the other mobfest left off..Those who put down GH because of the OLTL additives are the ones who are a most threat to it’s survival….suck it… Read more »

Hey Guys, This isn’t about the ratings for GH, but the Dark Shadows movie. I had so many doubts about seeing this film, based on the trailer and I had a problem with paying $11.50 for a movie that looked ridiculous! But, my curiosity got the best of me and I went to see it this weekend. I was pleasantly surprised! It”s somewhat of a comedy, but with horror and romance thrown in. Johnny Depp did a pretty good job as Barnabas Collins, but he is not Jonathan Frid. It guess he’s not suppose to be, since this is Dark… Read more »

Days is the only soap I watch now,
Sami Will and Lucas is the only story worth watching JMO

I really wish they would show the ratings of the daytime dramas vs the rest of the daytime shows. I don’t want to lose ANY more soap operas and I hate to cheer one shows ratings gain over another shows loss.

GH is at 3rd place across the board for new May 7-11th ratings YEAH!!!
