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.
I was happy to see this. OLTL was the one soap that I watched when I was home and bored enough, but I immediately stopped watching after this bullshit went down. It’s 2010, and we can’t have gay couples on soap operas? The only people that watch soaps, other than housewives, are gay men!
