It has finally happened, an ABC soap has hit rock bottom and I can say that I am not surprised. With the lack of excitement and intrigue on AMC, they deserve the low ratings- maybe they will take a lesson from this disappointment. As for OLTL and GH- they are well on their way to becoming better and they would never end up on bottom. I wonder how one soap could just lose 142,000 viewers in one week, now that is one dissatisfied group of viewers. Here’s a good way to bring back viewers TPTB at AMC, bring back the vets that we all love and stop focusing on newbies with no history such as Annie.

As for the other soaps, it appears that the disaster stunt that the Young and the Restless planned worked out well for their ratings- they gained a substantial amount of viewers. Days of Our Lives has improved lately with a bevy of interesting storylines including the Salem U. rapist and the aftermath of John Black’s Death. I could see Days of our Lives in the top three by the end of the year- it just keeps getting better. The Bold and the Beautiful are so far ahead of the rest, except for obviously Y&R, and from what I hear great storyline is ahead for this good soap opera. I guess the future of soaps is not in dire straits and there is a chance that they can survive but its called the domino effect that plays a role. One soap gets cancelled-quite soon another has to be cancelled but hopefully that is not the case at all.
