'One Life to Live' Ratings Plummet After My BF Scott Evans Leaves the Show



It was a horrendous week for daytime soaps ratings-wise (Source: Soap Opera Network). "One Life to Live" hit a new low as fans tuned out in droves, following the shoddy, fear-based exit of groundbreaking supercouple Kyle (Brett Claywell) and Fish (Scott Evans). OLTL lost 227,000 total viewers, hitting the soap opera's all-time low rating. OLTL was also down year-to-date 310,000 not-so-mainstream viewers, and was dead last among total viewers.

The show also dropped one-tenth of a ratings point in households, tying it's record low in that demo. Among women 18-49, OLTL went down a crushing two-tenths of a point, tying their low in that demo as well. Looks like the Kish fans have spoken.

I'm sure the ratings drop can't be entirely attributed to their exit, but there's no doubt it played a part. I started watching for Kish and got into the rest of the show, but now it's just so terrible. I'd rather watch "As the World Turns" now and its hot, gay, bull-riding asshole doctor.

'Asshole doctor' eh. He looks sexy enough for me to be interested ;)
[info]anniemann101 24th-Apr-2010 06:25 pm (UTC)
he's is a asshole though, believe me.
[info]angelofmusic76 24th-Apr-2010 07:41 pm (UTC)
IF they ever do anything. Whiny Luke is hard to watch even with this sexy bitch.
[info]okgoawaynow 24th-Apr-2010 06:15 pm (UTC)
at this point i only watch this show for john mcbain and natalie.

Van Hansis is such a shit actor these days, which is a shame because 3 years ago he was outstanding.
[info]anniemann101 24th-Apr-2010 06:24 pm (UTC)
lol. haha! eh. uh. ahhh. no.

He seems like he's coming back to life now that his story's getting better.
[info]devil_details 24th-Apr-2010 06:26 pm (UTC)
I suppose, but he was phoning it in SO MUCH it was insane.
[info]angelofmusic76 24th-Apr-2010 07:35 pm (UTC)
Honestly, I think he's a whiny b*tch of an actor - overrated. If Luke wasn't gay, no one would think twice about him. Don't even get me started on Noah. Ugh. Horrible pairing.
[info]jackie_oh 24th-Apr-2010 09:28 pm (UTC)
I disagree totally. Van acted his ass off the episode that Luke found out about Holden's death and was comforted by Damian. The man cries pretty, pretty tears.
[info]lemonsherry 24th-Apr-2010 06:20 pm (UTC)
i love how on youtube you can find channels with videos dedicated to the gay storylines from tv shows all over the world.
[info]dedebee 24th-Apr-2010 06:26 pm (UTC)
YouTube is seriously like the best thing that has ever been created. I don't even remember life before it.
[info]anniemann101 24th-Apr-2010 06:27 pm (UTC)
i didn't have a life before it. lol
[info]arizonagal 24th-Apr-2010 06:20 pm (UTC)
everyone should start watching general hospital now :)
[info]profetacinque 24th-Apr-2010 06:24 pm (UTC)
I wish I could. I can't watch it again until Laura comes back permanently. And Anna. :)
[info]dedebee 24th-Apr-2010 06:28 pm (UTC)
I might start watching again if they bring Brenda back.
[info]rabbitncavylove 24th-Apr-2010 06:46 pm (UTC)
I hate Carly and get sick of Sonny/Jason/mob
[info]arizonagal 25th-Apr-2010 06:28 am (UTC)
i love the mob stuff!! maybe because i'm italian?! LOL
[info]anniemann101 24th-Apr-2010 06:21 pm (UTC)
LOL. i knew you'd like Eric on that bull! they hardly showed Van on it :(

and GOOD! OLTL won't last the whole year for what they've done.

btw Debebee, you change form one show to another quite a lot don't you? lol don't blame ya, ATWT are hardly showing luke with reid as it is.... not that i want that though, but it's better than once a freaking week.


and i miss jake being noah. he'll be back next week though :)
[info]dedebee 24th-Apr-2010 06:34 pm (UTC)
They showed Van on the bull for like 2 seconds, and even then, it wasn't even going fast! What a cop-out!

And I don't really change shows that much! I actually was watching both for a while until my DVR unexplainedly stopped recording ATWT daily. It wouldn't record for about a month, and then it suddenly just started recording again one day. It was bizarre. I just sort of forgot about ATWT for that month though, and coincidentally it started recording again just as things got interesting with the doctor!

I can't wait to see Noah back also and see this triangle finally get started!

[info]anniemann101 24th-Apr-2010 06:50 pm (UTC)
lol poor DVR recording so much. my home one broke we had to buy a new one and all the shit we recorded on it was lost. such a sad day for our tv. LOL

anyway i've read spoilers and i swear to god if they put them on more than once a week i'll start loving this story. Van has got some WORK to do.... okay now nelly and kelly's dilemma has come to my head. i need to listen to it stat! lol

here it is:



ahhh memories :)
[info]runfromtears 24th-Apr-2010 08:29 pm (UTC)
I didn't think Reid was hot until the bullriding scene and somehow, my mind was changed. I thought he was just 'meh' and an asshole, lol, now he's a little hotter to me.
[info]redpoisonapple 24th-Apr-2010 06:25 pm (UTC)
i stopped watching. not cuz of kish tho (even tho i loved them) but moreso it got boring. no one cares about marty and chunks her baby. we all know hannah did it already. everyone is tired of todd taking the blame for everything. it's a bore.

now general hospital and days of our lives on the other hand....
[info]ashlerlee 24th-Apr-2010 06:31 pm (UTC)
wait what, hannah did it?
[info]redpoisonapple 24th-Apr-2010 06:35 pm (UTC)
it seems to be the consensus as she's crazy, and trying to break up starr and whatever that kid's name is.
[info]sarahbell05 25th-Apr-2010 01:07 am (UTC)
I'm entranced by your Ethan icon. Hello sexy man.
[info]another_grl 24th-Apr-2010 06:27 pm (UTC)
OLTL, you in danger gurl.

What a stupid move. Why do soaps almost-always cop out on their gay storylines? Who the hell do they think are watching their shows anyway???
[info]bravetoaster42 24th-Apr-2010 06:32 pm (UTC)
is that Walter Mercado kissing a GIRL?????
[info]another_grl 24th-Apr-2010 06:35 pm (UTC)
yes!
[info]another_grl 24th-Apr-2010 06:38 pm (UTC)
She is Walter's protege and fellow astrologer. I guess they are BFFs. Here is another sexy photo of them:

[info]lenee91 24th-Apr-2010 06:30 pm (UTC)
DOOL RULES!

not watching oltl... didn't care about kish.. and definetly don't care about this high school musical CRAP right now!
[info]jessashoutbaby 25th-Apr-2010 12:00 am (UTC)
I liked Kish a lot, but all of this teen drama bullshit is killing the show. Not even McBain is holding my interest....

This show just needs to die already.
[info]yooperchild 24th-Apr-2010 06:31 pm (UTC)
As much as I want to like Reid....I'm still pissy they're splitting Luke and Noah... :-(
[info]icyblugurl 24th-Apr-2010 08:07 pm (UTC)
Luke and Noah will back together once the show is over, so I'll deal with the break up for now, but they are ENDGAME for sure.
[info]fancypiink 24th-Apr-2010 09:18 pm (UTC)
No.
[info]another_grl 24th-Apr-2010 06:34 pm (UTC)
OLTL went downhill so quickly.

GH is where it's at.

Ethan and Dante are muy sexy.

I'm so happy my girl Skye is back (even though it's for a little bit.) Resurrect Lorenzo por favor.

I just wished someone would finally put a bullet into Sonny's head. But then he'd probably come back from the dead and have ghost sex with half the women on the show and spawn 20 more half-ghost babies. jfc.

lol, did the "evil mastermind" T.R. Knight have a hand in this?
[info]lady_vader67 24th-Apr-2010 06:49 pm (UTC)
Totally agree! Kish was the only reason I started watching OLTL, now they're gone and I don't want to
watch the drama of Marty and John and all those ugly young kids eeeewww
I quit watching when Kish left, too.

I'm going to try to watch the other hot gay couple, but I think it comes on during General Hospital :)
[info]drbat 24th-Apr-2010 06:56 pm (UTC)
As the World Turns is on at 2pm, GH is on at 3.
