Go GH 🙂 :@

what do these numbers mean? whats the difference between the demo for 18-34 or 18-49. i know it has something to do with advertising revenue the networks can use to charge for advertising but how does it work? its so confusing, how are these numbers determined, it makes n sense.

All I know is that GH just stinks. There’s not a story on that doesn’t feel greasy and overdone. The pacing is wildly uneven and the show doesn’t even attempt to make sense anymore. Ugh.
Y&R is the same. What that show does to female characters should be against the law. And now we get to see Nick disown Count Chocula for what, the 90th time?

DOOL has a few problems, but it has BY FAR the best storylines and the best characters. It has held up in quality and stayed a soap while the others have slipped into cheap stunts and wannabe subpar prime time misses. GH is the worst offender.

Wow! Well I guess coherent women are into stories about murderers who have grotesque intercourse in crypts. How the mighty have fallen. Personally, I loved it. It showed what depraved disgusting pigs Sonny and Ava really are. If this story is not leading to a big downfall for Sonny, at least I can enjoy it for a while as Morgan utterly hates his father. Sonny does not deserve children, or the title of father, or any of the respect Michael gives him. He deserves to be behind bars for life. And none of his caterwauling or whining makes me feel an ounce of sympathy for him. He has no remorse or repentance for anything he has done ever!!

Days has minor problems with its storylines but is the most entertaining and remains my favorite soap…GH is entertaining on occasion and could do a lot better…sex in mausoleum is totally disgusting and ive lost interest in Sonny and Ava…Tracy has become somewhat dumb…cast needs to be trimmed stat…MORE continuity and less campiness in the storylines…B&B is ok…i like Quinn, Wyat, and Ally, Y&R slightly improving but i rarely watch…a cable company needs to carry British soaps…Coronation is so much better than our 4 soaps combined: storylines move smoothly and the humor is funny…a very entertaining soap about the working middle class families with close to real life issues in its storylines…this show rarely disapoints and i hardly ever miss an episode…why cant our soaps be more like that?

The Nielsen ratings system is a stinking mess!

I can’t wait to see the ratings for “DOOL” from this past week? The Monday episode still has people talking.

Y&R is a total disaster. It deserves all the bad ratings it is getting. Phelps and her soap killer writers have made the show a boring mess.

Y and R storylines I am enjoying – Faux Cassie. Camryn Grimes is
a great actress! Hilary and the 2 men in one family drooling over her.
Ha. She has come a long way. I like her. Loving Noah and Courtney,
and Dylan and Avery (minus the cooking show). Still and always loving
Chelsea.

NOT working for me – Victoria with Stitch. Esmerelda – ugh. Want her
to leave! Where is Chavez? He needs to come back – miss his funny,
quirky personality and his banter with Kevin. Wish Gloria was on the
show more, love her!

Please do not bring Stephie back to get in the middle of Hope and Liam again. Let Hope make up her own mind with no interference fro th peanut gallery

Wow. Yet another obvious GH plug.

The show is down across the board, especially in total viewers but is praised for doing well in one demo.

C’mon. Let’s be objective.

GH has the most whiner’s..
some constantly bitch whine and moan but they still watch lol
Perhaps those GH watchers watch simply to find something they can complain about ..
there is no reason for anyone to punish themselves watching something they hate, so they do like GH they just have need to complain… lol

The demo numbers are the numbers the sponsors care about and GH is doing really well..
ALL soap, the numbers go up and down..

Y&R n has the most boring couples in soap land…
All they do is have long boring conversations that hold little interest.
They make love like old people, really! it’s terrible!

GH has hot hot sex.. Alexis and Julian and just now Sonny and Ava, burnt the bed, so to say..
and- GH stories are full of mystery, intriguing and they move at a good pace, no waiting a year to figure out a music box or to find out about a DNA switch /both dragging on for over a year LOL ….

yahhh what can one say.. you either love them or not..
if you don’t like them don’t watch and shut it up lol..
complainers are very unpleasant people to hang with 🙂

Long live the soaps.. good or bad !!! ((( we are addicted !! we need them, daily!!

I knew GH’s rating was going to be low. It’s been two boring weeks. Whenever Kelly Monaco is on the ratings has been higher and better. #JustSaying

Well all four soaps are coasting right now, nothing terrible, but nothing too exciting. Hopefully May sweeps will bring back some zing in daytime.

Y&R rushed the whole Stitch and Victoria story and now she could be pregnant with his child– blah. Their chemistry might have been great if they didn’t break the sexual tension that was building between them with a drunken quickie in her car. The fashion show was a bust– Jabot should get out that business and stick with cosmetics. The engagement party was dull– Nick finding fake Cassie was interesting for a second, then it went back to dull melodrama with Nick’s over the top reaction with Victor– those scenes have been done before, just the subject of the shouting match changed.

On B&B the endless triangles continue– the only refreshing story on the map is Oliver and Aly— is he dating her to get ahead or does he sincerely like her. Please Brad don’t make this romance? a triangle, — but the predictable meltdown Aly will have once she finds out Daddy is dating Taylor again I could do without.

Days fake out this week ruin the best thing I saw in a soap in long time. But I will over look it if they will wrap up this Liam the psycho story next week. Also the character Ann is working my last nerve– either give this woman a life, other than hating Jennifer or take her off the canvas please.

I forgot GH in my earlier post– my biggest pet peeve with this show is the flow– whole stories get drop for long period of time, while other stories are being told– also when the writers change who characters are in order to make their stories fly is annoying; like Tracy and Lulu who can’t see Luke is not acting like Luke when it is obvious he isn’t Luke or even trying to be Luke. I can’t imagine a Lulu who wouldn’t wonder why her father wasn’t there by her side during the kidnapping of Ben/Rocco– but this version obviously hasn’t even notice her father’s MIA. And Tracy, I know love is blind, but it ain’t stupid— Luke not wanting to sign a pre-nup should of had her telling him where the door was, not caving in in fear he would leave her. She is mature woman for goodness sake– this isn’t the Tracy Q most GH viewers know and love. And I thought Sonny was the Victor Newman of Port Charles, so why is he being consumed with guilt, men like Sonny should be able to justify all their actions no matter how heinous, so I ain’t buying Sonny suddenly has a conscience.

It’s been two disappointing weeks on GH. I’m glad to hear GH’s ratings went down because it tells RC, FV & ABC that their crappy writings sucks. I wish they would focus more on love stories, family stories instead of forced pairings and sex.

Y&R the only thing that is working for me is the fake Cassie storyline. Memo to JFP we still want to see EB, JM & SC these people are vets we know their stories & we either hate them or love them but we have watched them they are Genoa City. GH nothing is working for me a mess. B&B same thing so sick of Hope & Brooke. Days I do not watch so no opinion there.

I don’t like these demo groups, and I couldn’t care less about about the women 18-49 demo. I think total viewers is what should count, and Y&R will probably always have that edge, until the remaining four traditional daytime soaps, one by one, disappear into television history. I think the cold winter may have influenced increased viewership earlier this year, which gave us all the false sense of a soap resurgence. Given the perpetual norm of low ratings, I can’t imagine that DAYS and GH have much life left beyond their current renewals. I could be wrong, but I’ve come to terms with the fact that this incarnation of the soap genre is on its last leg. From a prior stalwart of the soaps, I can hardly watch anymore. I haven’t seen DAYS since SoapNet went off the air, and I haven’t kept up with GH. What I have seen is an unwatchable plot-driven mess. Y&R is a snooze fest, except for the somewhat interesting faux Cassie story. B&B is the only remotely watchable show for me now, and that’s saying something, because I can’t stand liberal Bradley Bell and his historically incestuous storytelling. I just don’t know what else to say. I expected better, but maybe they all just want to be canceled.

I love only DOOL, 100%. I love almost every actor on the show. My favorites are Sami Brady and Nick Fallon; although they are supposed to mean trouble. Alison Sweeney and Blake Berris are outstanding actors; they can make you love them and hate them at the drop of a hat. Y & R deserves to have a slide in ratings rapidly; that’s what happens when clueless writers like JP are hired as a co-HW.

my commrnent is without Michael Muhney & Bill Miller who cares about Y&R

I agree with Loretta. The jealousy between Adam & Nick. The fact that he was settling down with Chelsea & peanut. Billy Miller & Victoria were a great couple. None of it is the same so it’s ok at best.

Y&R what have you been up to? Seriously, there has been so much change. So many of your leading stars have left the show… I am about done. Not too much holding me here now.. My favs are all gone. There are only two of them left. You need to fix your Employee Morale Issues!! Yah, I’ve heard it all… Soap Stars are like gypsies…. Alway moving on, always changing. Money talks people. Get Phyllis back, get the “real Billy” back…. Stop killing children. This would be a good start. I’m almost done watching and I’ve been a supporter for 35yrs…

No surprise there. I haven’t watched it since January 31st. Not just because they fired MM, but also because I just lost interest after the Delia death storyline. It was a senseless character kill, and one just to make watchers hate MM but instead made alot of watchers literally cringe at the entire show. My husband can’t believe that I’ve quit watching because it used to be an everyday event and sometimes even 2 times on my off days (CBS and SOAPnet before it went off the air) and it was Y&R this and Y&R that- and then it just stopped. I lost COMPLETE interest!
