Romantica ratings, bad news
Well not really bad but they are slightly down on last weeks ratings, as are all the zone channels:
Zone Horror = 985,000 Zone Reality = 1,079,000 Zone Reality+1 = 771,000 Zone Reality Extra = 640,000 Zone Romantica = 317,000 ![]() Zone Thriller = 426,000 If only virgin would carry it the ratings would go way up! |

I am sky+ing all my old 'stories' from the States - Guiding Light, Days of our Lives & The Young & the Restless! Wish they would pick up All My Children & it would be perfect!!!

not everyone wants to see gays on us soaps you know
It says it all about some of the pathetic people who are happy watching this and their children watching this, but kick up a storm when two guys kiss. And this isnt a direct response to you, more to the situation in general.

What a silly response. ATWT is very brave for bringing in the storyline with Luke. I find it funny people say "this" on a soap is inappropriate, yet they are happy with the violence, shootings, kidnappings, Emily's ATWT rape scene was pretty heavy, some very risky bedroom scenes, women and men slapping and punching each other, and two guys kissing causes uproar.

ATWT is more expensive to buy than Guiding light, hence the reason why we dont have it.

I take it you're not gay! You have to understand why this happens, it's not that gay = must see tv, its just gay people don't have a lot of tv fiction thay can relate to. Especially teens. The same happened with John-Paul and Craig in Hollyoaks. It's a couple gay people can root for and support, the way 100s of straight teenagers do. Shows like Hollyoaks, Skins, etc, all have characters and couples people can relate to, and each couple/character can sometimes generate their own following and fans. It's difficult for gay people to relate to them. Gay characters though, especially gay teen characters coming out, hit a nerve with most gay people, who can relate. When we're (gay people) younger we don't have the luxury or going out dating, chatting to mates about people we like, etc, and most of our feelings and confusion stays hidden. So any characters like Luke, Noah, John-Paul and Craig are welcomed, and will generate a gay following as these characters are few and far between. And I don't count characters like Sean from Corrie, or gay adult chatacters as this is another matter. Not trying to patronise you, just explain why this may happen.
![]() I too despise Sean in corrie as he is a stereotype that belongs in the 70s. |

What an excellent post! This is my feeling about gays in soapland. It is rare [esp..in US soaps] to see gays at all nevermind gay teens!
