Well there is no way that, hypothetically should KATIE be an overnight success, that it will help GH on the WEST coast considering DR OZ will be following it.

I think the bad ratings for Y&R has to do with all the behind-the-scenes drama that went on. It is like the stock market. People probably tuned out because of it.

I don’t watch B&B, but I do see the promos as I fast-forward the commercials for Y&R. Every week it is the same – Liam, Hope & Steffy unless they throw in Bill & Katie for a change. I guess the younger kids (demographic) likes this tug-of-war and bedhopping with this triangle. It seems boring to me from all the comments I read about it and the other soap fans that complain about it. Maybe we on the message boards are truly the minority and nobody gives a flying fig what we think or what we want to watch?

GH has got to advertise as it did before yrs., ago. When they have new accitement to air people need to know………..Advertise on outher cable networks like most shows do. It is never seen anytime anywhere. Believe it or not some drfiters thought GH was cancelled along time ago. Cable and mutiple channels and the Olympics is killing daytime right now. Dallas advertises everywhere……same genre!

If the current GH shows are demonstrating it is “firing on all cylinders”, GH has no chance. If this is as good as it gets for the show, it will continue to bleed viewers. I am honestly so tired of hating this show, but it’s done nothing to make me think otherwise.

YR is just in shambles right now.

I can’t wait for DOOL to come back! I was happy for the break, but now I want my soap back on the tubes.

General Hospital ” lost another -168,000 ” I have a hard time believing these numbers–

I am most discruntled against the Y&R. I really hope they will bring back reality into the show. I have been watching this soap with interest but everything went wrong when Sharon slept with Adam when she was about to marry nick; the storyline became a nightmare for sharon. She was sweet, kind hearted admirable, though weak she was the perfect woman for nick; then from nowhere this victor madness. For this shoe to succeed the following must be done immediately
1. Restore sharon case. Bring out a medical explanation to her actions. Make her a firm and powerful woman on her own right not through the newmans or abbotts. Bring in a new storyline for her. No one currently in the show that will start a real romance and love phase just like Nick and sharon back in the 1990s-2005. Make Noah and Fait consistent in her life and that of this new romance. Give her happiness for once. Make her forget about nick cheating on her with phyllis for that is the source of all troubles. Make embrace a new life with this hot, good looking, honest and successful man. Solidify this with her having a child with him. I strongly believe this will be a good start. I really do not think someone can be without even a single friend. Since dru and grace left Sharon has just been lonely and the then writers worsened everything my making her find comfort only in sleeping with other men. This is wrong!! Create some good frienship opportunities for her especially with those that considered her as a tgreat or hated her- kill the phyllis=sharon hatred and nikki constant disapproval. Mak her to be a woman of charisma and aura just like the change of adam from bad to good!! What about Dorris Sharon’s mother, for crying out loud has she not been in that forsaking bin for long. Bring her back as she helps sharon find a new perspective in life and heal from whatever illness you deem fit. Use this to draw in a solid support from noah, faith and most of the newmans who could have ignored what she has been through.

2. Destroy Nick and Phyllis for good. Honestly what they have is not real and is mt founded on anything. Make nick figureout the pain he must have put sharon through and try to see her get well. Make him run this time after sharon but not to her interest anymore. Give him a new relationship fresh and unexpected.

3. Change the business setting in the movie. Enough of the newman being on top. The new man for sharon should be the heir of a powerful enterprise settling in Genoa City. Introduce a new family that will tussle the business world with the newman and the abbott. Expand Adams new business strategy to something big. create a real business revolution in the movie.

4. Give Jack a new sense of purpose. He’s been such a miserable man. He has no life since he lost phyllis. Worl on this chemistry between jack and phyllis. Prove that summer is not a newman but an Abbott.

5. Regenerate Collin; that she was not dead or something…she is back to destroy newman or something.

6. Improve the black performace of the movie. Neil has not found any true love at all. Give him something fresh as well but not harmony please!!! Lilly is too comfortable in the movie…spark serious challenges between her and cane. Give Devon more vigour in the soapie. Make him mount to a real love line a possible spark with summer. dont pair black couples only with blacks make the movie contemporary.

7. A pure teenage love story will be of an immense importance to the soapie such as faith and fern…something strong like nick and sharon back in the days; not the madness they did with eden going around with every body.

8. Settle nikki and victor once and for all. Enough of the stupid slipt and hooking up again. Its tiring

9. Destroy Villy’s perfect world. Chelsea looses the baby and comes back to get what is rightly hers from villy. The pressure mounts and things change. Billy eventually falls for chelsea and they work out. Connect Adam to Avery. Spark something refreshing. Vicky now looks for real love and a real family. Reed comes back to his mother and she falls in love with neil and find her bigger purpose at Abbott. Miraculously she gets pregnant again with neil.

10. Noah starts his industry and kindles a challenge with devon in that industry, due to cane’s changing into manipulative business man and falls for Ashley, Lilly leaves him. Show her a solid single mother aiming for the best for her kids- then connect her to noah giving her all the support she needs as a friend knowing what his mother has been through this kinks them up for solid love story. Change the Noah character at this stage, bring in someone hot like thomas on the bold and the beautiful- man enough.

11 create a new enermy for victor apart from jack- such as the father of sharon’s new husband. Introduce him as a much powerful man than victor with whom victor has a history when he started off as a business man. Make him a man who lost his wife and his quest for nikki.

12. Bring in a new bad woman like phyllis with whom they will be at logger heads all the time- the eldest daughter of the new powerful family. Portray a new tussle and need to get jack as hers!!! Steer up a new feud.

13. most esentially surprise the viewers as to victor’s reaction when he returns. He forgives sharon especially after she attemprs suicide as a result of a mental condition and being overwhelmed to figure out what is happeneing to her. He gives her all the required medical attention.

14. Connect Nick to Chloe. I am sorry i am no more in support of nick and sharon. That pure love they shared have been shattered but the writer should keep them good friends because of their history and kids. Kevin with Eden and Daniel works out things with daisy which returns, give phylis a hard time and changes o work things out in her family. Connect heather to ronan.
