It's just a soap.



..............just saying.

Quote meowbowow:

OMG, what a picture that makes in my mind!!

Quote meowbowow:

It may just be a soap but everyone still has their own opinion.

Quote toy1975: GH do their little stunts and they gain little viewers for a day or that week but they can't hold it. They loose ratings the following week and the weeks after. The JaSams mexico was the lowest ever in ratings for GH. Even the Spixie non-wedding gardnered more viewers but still can't hold it the next week. The carnival actually held the most viewers and it was liason that was featured in that promo. The reason why it went down because the viewers lost interest when it didn't amount to what was expected!
it is ratings show it .. if you take a direct look at this time last year when there were different couples together ratings were up alot more and gh is still down from last year

sonny/kate
johnny/lulu
jason/liz
lucky/sam

and i am sure i am missing a few

right now people are furious with the olivia/johnny/sonny/claudia crap because olivia took kates story and background like that for her to fit with sonny and they are furious she is with johnny because people miss the old adventurous on the edge johnny that was with lulu

there are people angry with the jason and sam storyline right now because they are taking tidbits from the liz and jason storyline to make them work and they are not as popular as they were the first time around its just a fact... once sam went bad that drew the line for many viewers and closed the door for her and jason in many viewers eyes.. this is the truth other wise their highly promoted mexico sex would of garnered alot more than a 1.7 it was promoted weeks in advance on liz/jason days that werent promoted garnered more
notice they barely promote jason and sam anymore ...

and these are popular opinions on many boards not just fan boards.... might not be as popular on abc.go.com but there are posters on there that posts with 3 different names to up postings and alot of the people left because you couldnt get a word in if you didnt like jasam without being belittled and badgered..

but the polls the ratings show what couples were more popular and gh needs to clean house with the current ones and bring in the ones that the majority of people liked

and if you can prove this is so not true show me where jasam made it on the top 5 couples on sod and sid now? show me where a similar liason scene from last year garnered less than a similar new jasam scene not an old one.. show me where claudia sonny olivia work? or johnny and olivia? or lucky and liz? you cant show it in ratings you cant show it in polls because they are not I keep up with ratings is because it is "what interest" to ME. It doesn't interest everyone and that is ok no big whoop!! I also look at what was TAGGED for that day and uhmm SORRY JASAM just are NOT bring in the ratings! A QUOTE from BF: Viewers can be train to accept anything that is presented to them." and this is a very scary thought to have a man who thinks so little of his viewing audience in control of airwaves its something masochistic and dogmatic about this statement "for me".Brain F is working overtime to make Jason fly bringing on movie stars...they are tanking ratings wise its no question and if it would be 'any other couple' they would have been firmly broken up by now ....OK now back to actress/actors bash MY bad its just so easy to go off on something that is NOT to your liken!BUT you can sing her prasie IF it makes you FEEL GOOD!ME lets just say I will leave all that up to you!

What does this post have to do with the thread topic?

Quote JaneDoe:

Ah yes, the ratings must be down solely because of JaSam. It has nothing to do with the fact that ALL soaps are down, or that there's more daytime viewing options, or that more women are working and simply too busy for television, or that many simply watch on YT because it's easier and more convenient. It has to be because of JaSam. There would have been nothing wrong with keeping her a con, but they went in another direction and it worked IMO. It worked for me and it worked for many other fans. Yes, Sam/KeMo fans do in fact exist. Whatever the reason you think KeMo's acting is not up to par is irrelevant....you still cannot bash an actor on this site.

Quote toy1975: Yes ALL soaps are down, but have been down for years WITH JASAM front and center GH RATINGS tanked MORE than they were before. Yes, there's more daytime viewing options, AGAIN HAVE been for years this is nothing NEW BUT GH'S tanking ratings thanks to focusing ON JASAM at their own detrement IS NEW and we are seeing the result SINKING RATINGS. YES more women are working and simply too busy for television, but SURELY you know this has been the case FOR MANY MANY years now. BUT GH ratings are new to tanking thanks to JASAM and the focus ON KEMO AND SAM. YES many simply watch on YT because it's easier and more convenient. AGAIN this isn't new but the tanking ratings of GH in the is AND THE FOCUS IS ON JASAM It has to be because of JaSam. IT IS BECAUSE OF JASAM. THEY ARE front center in the promos AND NOTHING is bringing up the ratings. DEFINITELY NOT JASAM or the rewrites to try to sell them. OH YES KEMO has fans NO ONE SAID SHE DIDN'T but that doesn't mean the writing for kemo WORKS it means her fans ACCEPT WHATEVER the show gives her JUST TO SUPPORT KEMO whether the writing is good bad or works. BULLY for loyal fans BUT IT doesn't change the ratings are tanking because NOT ALL care about KEMO not all LIKE JASAM in fact ratings say JASAM isn't winning viewers OR EVEN KEEPING the old viers. WHAT I think of KEMO and her acting is relevant to me. WHAT THOSE WHO are tuning out think ARE RELEVANT to the ratings. BUT NO one has to bash KEMO to say SAM SUCKS and JASAM SUCKS. THE WRITING and the ratings are bearing that out.

Quote toy1975

IMO IF someone CAN'T DEFEND their postion.They do a bait and switch just a soap tactic to get some to drink the kool-aid !!Some drink from the fountain of knowledge; Some only gargled.....Hey its all good!

Quote JaneDoe

Sure they do, but I think sometimes people go a little overboard in expressing them.


It's just a soap.

Quote ghfanfare: So Sonny set this whole drama in motion, yet, as usual, he is no help in finding Claudia or Carly. Instead he is up in everyone's face with his demands.

Even his admission of fault rang hollow to me but that is probably because I have no sympathy for the mobsters.

Quote meowbowow:

Sonny is high, dry, and warm in his nice comfy house while he sends poor Bernie and the rest of his team out on a dangerous, stormy night. Hey Sonny, how about joining in the search when u started all this mess in the 1st place. What a guy!! He may not have known who was going to be there but he should have been more careful, ESP. knowing Claudia had a gun.
