It looks like someone might be on life support very soon here. According to the latest reports, it looks like General Hospital has taken a tumble in the ratings department.
General Hospital Ratings Tumbling Over Bad Writing And Storylines
In fact, things are so bad that a lot of longtime viewers and critics are arguing that the show’s writers are doing nothing to fix the supposedly ‘horrible’ storylines that are making more people want to tune out rather than tune in.
Per the latest numbers, General Hospital is at the bottom of the barrel for two key demographics. For women between the ages of 25-54, The Young and the Restless tops the carts in viewership, followed by The Bold and the Beautiful, newcomer Beyond The Gates and then General Hospital.
For the week between March 3-7, General Hospital only saw about 203,00 viewers check in. It wasn’t too long ago that over 500,000 viewers were watching the show per week. It seems like less and less people are tuning in each week and that’s because they just don’t find any of the current storylines engaging enough for them to be invested in.
The Young and the Restless, meanwhile, is holding steady at 302,000 viewers per week.
Now, whether or not these less than desirable numbers are going to prompt the writers of the show to make any changes remains to be seen, but it seems like it’s almost doubtful that anything will change.
