  1. What is with the OLTL viewers abandoning OLTL? It's the best show on ABC and frankly a lot better than Y&R these days. I don't know what more OLTL can do to improve itself.

    I wonder if there is a backlash to the Oliver/Kyle storyline.

    I wish OLTL would start to market its African-American cast members to black media outlets in the same way that OLTL publicized Kish. Maybe that could help its ratings?

    I just don't understand the sudden decrease in ratings that started about a month ago.

    And, how about ATWT! Talk about a turnaround! Its ratings were just slightly above Guiding Lights and now it keeps gaining viewers each week. Looks like Christopher Goutman got the message.
