   Thanks Marc for continuing to provide the ratings. They demonstrate the demand for soaps is alive and well. Even though several providers no longer carry SOAPnet, there are clearly many still watching on a daily basis.

   I watch General Hospital on a daily basis. I use to watch OLTL but since ABC stopped air — I stopped watching ABC ( except for Gh and Castle). I know there are people that don’t watch daytime dramas and they do not care if Soaps are aired or not — but Soaps have always had a large fan base-a loyal fan base —Since ABC feels like Soaps not longer have a large viewers base— why doesn’t ABC release the rights to the Soaps to a network that would produce them? — Oh, I know——-because ABC doesn’t want a other network to make money off of the Soaps

   Thank you Douglas for the ratings on SoapNet It is a shame that we have no comparison to go by . I believe that across the board the ratings would have been so much higher prior to SoapNet being taken off the air by some pbroviders. This only proves there is a demand for Soaps thousands are watching them at all different hours. ABC you don’t want them we know somebody does Release the Rights

   I catch the classic AMC & OLTL every morning on dvr, and I do a series record for Days and GH. I may be a non-Nielsen user, but I’m damn sure gonna be accounted for. The numbers don’t lie and, frankly, neither do the soap fans who have wanted All My Children and One Life To Live to comeback on the air, online, and under the proper management and ownership of Agnes Nixon. If ABC/Disney can’t seem to realize the perverbial El Dorado they are sitting on with soap operas, then maybe they don’t deserve to be considered a worthwhile business by the SEC standards.

   I miss the good old days of soaps!!! I watched ATWT, Days, OLTL, AMC, and GH. I have recorded them one way or another for years. I still watch Days and GH. SoapNet would have done better if it was still being aired by television providers. I will not support these replacement shows. I am supporting TNT right now. Dallas is fantastic!!!
