Wow, what a bad week for ABC Soaps and soaps in general, I cannot believe a 2.5 is tied for second- this is really bad for the future of daytime soaps.

AMC was the only ABC soap to rise this week and with good reasons, because the whole show is running on all cylinders- proving to still be a powerful daytime program.

Alright GH wedged a tie for 2nd with B&B, hopefully with the success I am seeing on the show they should overtake B&B for 2nd. Watch out Y&R, they’re nipping at your heels.

So the only show to gain last week was GH, which is good but with these horrific numbers all across the board, it is getting more apparent that soaps are a dying business.
