All the soap ratings went down last week. Although OLTL went down in number, OLTL actually went UP in both HH RANK (5th last week) and demo RANK (3rd). The real problem seems to be soaps in GENERAL. -- At The Bayberry

Oh damn ... I better shut my TV off ... I'm sorry girls, along with all my letter writing (you know, in the thousands...) I have kept the TV on. Don't worry, once I shut it off, the demos will go down, and so will the other ratings ... whatever ... you know. :) (NT) -- Cabbie Esq, 01:07:45 03/10/01 Sat
- Ratings need to be put in CONTEXT, 5th place HH tied w/FOUR other soaps, OLTL did NOT moved up the ladder, other soaps like GH crashed down into toilet w/them. OLTL hasn't improved, other soaps are crashing to its dreary numbers. ITA, soaps in general are in trouble. So far only "Hell No week" under GT spurred a real spike for OLTL, up to 3.5 HH, & solely at 2nd place w/2.8 demos. GT delivered 4 great episodes & 1 good one that week, since writing is mixed bad & ratings didn't sustain spike. (NT) -- Pilar, 05:13:23 03/10/01 Sat
