Anyone know why OLTL is tanking? I would like to blame Stacy but I am sure it's more complicated than that.
As for CBS's uptick, is this a case of ex-GL fans picking up another CBS show for their daily habit? It will be interesting to see if the other CBS shows, esp. ATWT, find a way to lure & keep those fans.
Blair, Todd, and Tea were played heavily the two days OLTL dropped below a 2.0. I've said and I continue to say that crafting a murder mystery around Todd would be a way to raise the ratings. I'm sure the network will blame Kyle and Fish as I believe they aired on both days, but I'm not sure about Thursday.
Please, OLTL is only .1 away from the other two ABC soaps with little promotion or help from their own network. It's also beating AMC in all other demographics. All My Children is dead creatively. OLTL is taking chances, don't pull the plug basterds.
Its ATWT vs OLTL match now and ATWT is in the lead but this will change from week to week. Though, ATWT bringing back the 2 popular men they are bringing probably will help them.
OLTL has talented cast and its to be determined whether their controversial sl will help them or not.
