General Hospital Hits New Low

The Soap Opera Network reported that General Hospital hit a new season low. The show fell below 2 million viewers for the past two weeks. It tied in its season low among women aged 18-49 with a 0.18 rating.

Surprisingly, the return of Jason Morgan (Steve Morgan) didn’t bring the ratings. It could’ve brought some interest to the soap, but most people checked out. What happened to the soap? It used to be at the top of its game.

This question was brought up on the SoapCentral.com Message Boards. The original poster noted that the mob storylines haven’t won the GH fans over. It’s mostly focused on Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) lately.

One fan mentioned they’re not the typical demographic. They’re a guy who typically watches the show when he’s not working. He noted that General Hospital made a mistake when they fired the old writers, especially with Jason’s storyline.

The new writers haven’t done the character any favors either. The user predicted that if the ratings continue to drop, more changes could take place. The show has changed in the past year alone. There are also rumors swirling that more actors could leave the soap.

This led some GH fans to wonder what happened to the daytime soap. More information is needed as to whether the ratings dipped at the time of Jason’s return.

The ratings can’t be blamed on Jason. It’s about finding a balance among the storylines.

“I find it difficult lately to get through a whole episode. I have started deleting each episode before the halfway point. Finding that I’m not missing much and am probably about ready to stop watching altogether,” one user noted.

“So are we basically just back down to pre-Jason ratings or are ratings even lower now than that?” another fan asked.

The ratings for General Hospital haven’t been clearly defined. But most fans agree that the show needs work. They’re disappointed with the new writers. They would like to see more romance and less crime.
