Days Of Our Lives
RATINGS: Days of our Lives Only Soap To Gain In Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo!
The ratings are out for the week of January 8 through the 12th, and it was Days of our Lives that was the lone daytime drama series to garner additional total viewers for the week and more.
The NBC soap opera added + 12,000, and also was the only show to add viewers in the key 18-49 womens demo. DAYS also added the most viewers in the 25-54 female demo.
In story, it was Tyler’s Christopher’s second week on air as Stefan O. DiMera, as well as Lani (Sal Stowers) learning that she was pregnant, and everybody double-crossing each other for control of DiMera Enterprises!
Over at The Young and the Restless, the top-rated CBS soap was strong in total households, and remained in the top spot, and showed some gains in the 25-54 demo. The Bold and the Beautiful was down slightly in total viewers, and lost viewers in all the key demos.
As for General Hospital, they lost the most total viewers for the week with -75,000. and were down in key demos, but up in women 18-34. View the entire ratings picture via SON here.
Numbers are based on Live+Same Day ratings
(Compared to Last Week/Compared to Last Year)
Total Viewers
1. Y&R 4,810,000 (-13,000/+123,000)
2. B&B 3,935,000 (-8,000/+144,000)
3. GH 2,815,000 (-74,000/+162,000)
4. DAYS 2,479,000 (+12,000/+127,000)
So, what have you thought about Days of our Lives recently? Which is the best soap on the air right now? Which could use some help? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
The Friday JToria rating is pretty LIT on Y&R
I like JToria but I don’t think they were instrumental for Friday’s ratings. Their hot love scene was several seconds before the end of the show.
I think, the weather likely had also a lot to do with soaps’ ratings increase this week (over the last year).
They do prove how much chemistry they have. I just have to wonder WHY they put them back together and if JT isn’t playing Victoria somehow.
.
Days is coming on strong.. GH had best pick up its’ game.
And-
”Numbers are based on Live+Same Day ratings”
I believe there is a high percentage that does not watch Live+Same Day, really who does that LOL ..
Most all seem to be watching Anytime Anywhere at their convenience…
Unless you have a Nielsen box, it doesnt matter what /when or how you watch. Its not counted for these ratings.
If you have a box, watch live if possible or before midnight.
I thought they are taking into consideration DVR viewing within 24 hours or something like that.
You are correct Chrystie, DVR viewing does count towards ratings.
Yes, SuzieQ….I agree…..but, GO DAYS, anywhichway!!!!!!
Unless one loves Days and has been watching for many years, as I have ( since my toddler ‘days’ , LOL), one will never appreciate the bond with characters ( mostly the vets) …..and for the show itself….I applaud everything ….the actors, the writers, the staff , all their efforts to making DAYS great again!! Ha?!?! LOL.
its never really winter in Salem for some…its still January and yet Jen was only wearing some sleeveless dress in the town square and yet Eric had a coat and a scarf around his neck-lol
@Jimh.
LOL, Jimmy…in every soap, Jimmy, in every soap…..Sam ( GH) walking through ten feet of snow ( exagerating here, LOL), pregnant and wearing stilettos, and no coat….
It’s California….they forget.
Last month it was frigid in the northeast …..we put our winter gear on in the house, before exiting….
Very unrealistic….Sharon ( Y&R) vacuuming in stilettos…..too many discrepancies to count…but, we love our soaps, regardless, right??
Jimh,
That is how my 6 and 8-year-olds dress when it is in the 30s and 40s in California. Flip flops and shorts and run out of the house without a jacket. But they will wear long sleeves when it is 100 just because they are too lazy to find something suitable for the weather. HaHa!
I am getting completely different vibes….what is John Black doing? Did he kill Andre? I think that all these weird ‘maneuvers’ by him are heralding his departure?
Days is doing superbly….either he is leaving or there is a plotline in the works, where John is ‘pushed’ to kill Steve? Who are the bad guys behind this?
Seems he was programmed to be The Pawn again. With all the Stefano talk it makes you wonder.
@blake.
Hi, blake,
Stefano did cross my mind, blake…..Hattie as his minion?…..Is Andre really dead? Did Stefano put Stefan O and Vivian up to no good????
Love tuning in everyday…..anticipation gets the adrenalin going…LOL.
Ratings will continue to slide until they hire Genie Francis back !
Yes, John…Genie is gold….now, Nathan!!! I am going to miss those eyes….that face…that body!! LOL.
Seriously, Nathan and Maxie were a shining light…..who made Lulu and Dante look like what is sooo bland in a marriage. I think he’ll be back? Does he have another ‘job’ in sight?
I hope Griffin is not next. …..or Kevin. Please, not Kevin….he’s waiting for Laura to return safely, from Paris, and straight into his warm, strong, empty arms. Oh, yeah!!
Get rid of Wes…..he was a catalyst to Faison’s capture….he’s done…..but, as I mentioned when he first came, and lately, he may be Anna’s son….or could be Alex’s ( AMC) . He could have been reared by evil aunt Charlotte ( AMC) who was in cahoots with Faison? I still think Griffin fits into this ‘melodrama’…..not Duke’s son.
I’m worried they are about to make Kevin insane. Was Kin hinting at that in the preview? Was Kevin holding Cesar’s autopsied brain in the preview? Is Kevin about to turn into a mad scientist and Jon gets sent packing like Genie?
@Carrie.
Hi, Carrie,
I was just going to say that….I got the same impression from the previews.
You are so right in thinking it….I, also, suspect ( probably wrongly) that Kevin may have been working with Andre?
Maybe, Kevin wants to study the brain of a maniac ( Faison’s) and what makes it tick?….. I mean, he does want to conduct a study on Franco….the more the merrier?? LOL.
If TPTB are ‘kicking’ Kevin to the curb, it was a last minute decision….just as as Laura….just as Andre.
In that case, what of Genie? Gone for good? Laura with no Kevin? I was hoping against hope, Carrie, that everything would be ironed out and PC would get back to ‘normal’, whatever normal is.
As it is, what storylines will we be watching? The incredibles? Sonny and the gang?
Oh, wait—Julian, the other crook with his ex/new bride, the mayor. Oh, joy!!
“The Incredibles?” Oh, that’s a good one, CeeCeeGirl! Never say never where Sonny is concerned…no matter how much of him we get, there’s always room for more! As for “whatever normal is” in Port Charles remains anyone’s guess when crypt trysts, endless gangster goings-on, adults acting like hormonally-charged teens and the “living dead” are par for the course! To put it another way, whatever is generally-referred to as socially-acceptable behavior is considered outre’ in the @$$-backward GH universe! But this bizarro Kevin thing may be a bridge too far even for this whacked-out waterfront town. Perhaps Genie Francis should thank her lucky stars she doesn’t have to be a party to such a profoundly disturbing storyline, but the fans are still being robbed of her potentially fine performances by Laura’s uncalled-for departure!!!
Griffin is a wussy! Why was he almost in tears as they wheeled Nathan in on a stretcher and then too surgery? I cannot imagine doctors getting so emotional.
@Shay.
Hi, Shaybelle,
LOL…”The Incredibles” and “The Invincibles”….what more a’ propos name is there to describe the “chosen” ones? They have overtaken GH……nowhere to run.
I don’t get the reason why TPTB are turning Carly into a worse shrew than she already is….now she bullies pregnant women? …she wears the pants…I know it’s a passe’ expression, but what kind of hardened mafioso is Sonny? Carly needs to be tied down….sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong, is her life’s mission. Fishwife.
The fact that Sonny said his father ‘hangs’ with the wrong people drew an unlady-like snort from me, …HaHa. Isn’t he, himself, the wrong “kind of people”? Unreal!!
Furthermore, Avery calls Carly, “Mommy”? That is truly an abomination….
Pray tell, writers….what, exactly, makes Sonny and Carly better parents?
A couple of wrongs ( among so many more) need to be made right: vindicate AJ’s death; and , give Avery back to her REAL mother…..that is soooo wrong everywhichway.
Perhaps, you’re right in saying Genie is better off staying away from the thorns and bramble, Shay.
I am not a violent person because I have never had the need to strike anyone, LOL…but I wish Nelle had landed one upside Carly’s head, albeit Nelle is no angel, but, no more devilish than Carly….they are cut from the same multi-colored cloth…….
…..outstanding waterworks, I must say.
@Timmm.
Hi, T,
Matt was probably emotional because he knew Ryan was leaving…..they may have become good friends….as Dominick. I thought DZ was so authentic in expressing his emotions.
Sure, they were acting, but some of their ‘real’ personal feelings do come into play, I would think.
I do get what you’re saying….doctors should be impassive when it comes to patients. Their job is to be rational, stoic and professional
LOL, T, ….I have seen doctors get teary-eyed and emotional, in real life….trust me….they are human ….. The way you said it, cracked me up….
It likely took a chunk out of the budget to bring Steve Burton back, so I would expect more exits over the next weeks.
Ryan chose to leave; has his own jewelry line and wants to do more films, preferably action.
I’m hoping Kevin doesn’t leave. Ugh..what if we find out he’s really his supposedly deranged dead brother!!!!??? Please no….
Yeah and the hurricane in Puerto Rico was Steve Burton’s fault to!
Yeah, her stories were so riveting! Its over Johnny!
GH’s ratings will keep going down and down some more unless/until Genie is brought back. The show has become such an unwatchable hot mess under the smug, arrogant Frank Valentini. It’s abundantly clear that he, his staff, and TPTB at ABC have zero regard for fans who’ve supported this show for years. All they care about is having Frank’s personal pets front and center on the show day after day, week after week. I’m done. This is no longer General Hospital and hasn’t been for quite some time. It’s surprising they haven’t changed the title.
Several of my friends who watched GH for 35+ years also gave the show up permanently within the last year, and I bet there’s much more where that came from.
You are so right, Pat,….I posted on the Ryan Peavey site out of habit…..LOL….I guess I was caught up in his possible death?, and Ms Gati’s impassioned scene, over her son.
As I said, Genie is gold and her ‘non-presence’ is strongly, and deeply felt…..GH needs to straighten itself out in the name of survival.
Let’s face it, CeeCee, there’s not a dime’s worth of difference amongst any of the soap threads anymore…no matter the places, the names remain the same!
Genie was off the show for large parts of many years and the show did fine in the ratings.
I think it’s a good sign that all 4 soaps were up from the same time last year.
With head writing duties being assumed by Ron Carlivati, it isn’t at all surprising that Days is seeing an uptick. This guy knows how to write a soap! GH started to flounder immediately following his departure, and it has become virtually unwatchable. The new writing team really dropped the ball with the return of Steve Burton to the point where they are rewriting history and disrespecting viewer’s intelligence. When good actors struggle with poor writing it is obvious, and that’s what is now happening episode after episode. Can’t help but wonder if this is the network’s plan so they have a reason to cancel their last remaining soap.
“…actors struggle with poor writing it is obvious, and that’s what is now happening ”
it pains me… I can agonize … argh!
do I thank the soap god that I can at least watch more than 1 ? be positive @ ^ Andrew Haas.. that ALL four serials ARE on an uptick from 1 year ago.
it’s amazing because i’m so caught up in DAYS and GH… and yet I’m keeping up with @GH because of all the fervor that’s going on.
DAYS is going so well… that I can watch @my leisure. it’s a beautiful thing
altho… I’m so emotional about Steve “Patch” and JOHN. he’s doing this for a reason I cannot fathom… tried to share with @Celia… that it’s John way of bringing about a miracle.. and we’ll see Steve soon getting both his eyes . OY. because I can’t answer…what I will offer… is it’s said it’s tied in to Lisa Rinna ‘ Billie. even then i’m like what’s going on.
who killed my new favorite ? Andre. I want to keep on celebrating this man. Thaao … I really appreciate what he brings to this show… he’s like this contemporary and classic combined… a mix and aura of high brow and wheeling and dealing shenanigan that gets misunderstood… he’s a mixed bag of comedy drama and hi jinx… the full on throttle for watching his acting skill and mindset REEL…
GOD… hope know one minds that usage… Anna and Roman… this is going to be 5 hankie day or what have you when Christie Clark reunites with HER biological parents… I LOVE THIS. I’ve always said @DOOL NEEDS to bring her back full time… because I oft wanted , when Sami left.. for her to pass the heroine and beacon to her sister Carrie. can we say… RAFE…. hot RAFE.. the hottest couple …with Chad and Abs… CARRIE – and – RAFE. hotted me out
Will and Paul w/Sonny: IMAGINE my surprise when I truly thought the obvious that it was a done deal… Sonny and Will…. would reunite.. and I had imagined my crestfallen… disappointment for Paul… as he would step back as the heralded couple would just step up. PAUL and WILL are working magic… this dance I never imagined… kudos boffo and cajones to WILL . YES…. my WILL manning UP .. because Paul is HOT. hey I take the grandma Marlena approach… with . when it comes to Wills happiness… i’m welling up because it’s Paul and Will !!!
Lani and JJ – I LOVE THESE TWO TO BITS. THANK again the soap god… that @DAYS rehired Lani… she’s a dream .. her simple acting approach… not emitting too much but plenty of axpression in her face tells it all… she full on LOVES … loves the people in her life… from dad Abe to brother Theo to JJ to respecting Valerie… and of course her attraction to Eli… and woah the combustion between her and JJ.. is real. Casey Moss, from his debut has always had the acting chop. when he pulls out all the stops from wherever his inner being sets the bar… Casey moss brings it. I simply love watching these two actors.
Chad and Abs…with Stefan ? I can’t go their yet.. because i’m enjoying watching Marci Miller… react to Tyler Christopher… it’s fascinating me
you look for delivery the nuances the subtlety… how they carry themselves.. this is theatre and acting workshop. for Marci Miller… a newbie … an ingénue in this craft called acting. she stuns me.
Tyler Christopher… is setting up his nest. TC always has that mystery intrigue and allure… just give him good script and he’s their
Eve and Brady : Eric Martolf deserves a LEAD ACTING NOMINATION… with RC writing… he’s in a whole league unto himself… I didn’t want Eve to be that caught up in just Eric… hint hint … back to Wally Kurth Justin. but this just brought all the Kiriakis ALIVE. on simmer and no holds barred… with Kassie and Eric… a fierce reckoning should any one dare tango with these two
for the SORAS : I’m so sorry… that Theo is not with. that’s a whole ‘nother hurt at this time.
Tripp – Claire – Ciera Alice. you couldn’t have dreamed this up… for all the brouhaha that fired up the fans. I will always miss Lauren Boles… but now… the recast TOOK and she will never let up… kinda reminds you of the tempestuous Erica Kane… she’s a spitfire. I love you Ciera Alice.
Tripp is a another find that is melded perfect with Steve and Kayla…. how is he going to juggle Claire and Ciera ? I don’t know but he’s such a laid back character … and it’s been so nice and refreshing to watch how he mixes.
OK… I even like what’s been happening with Melissa Reeves’ Jenny Bear. I DO NOT WANT Jennifer and Eric to become a couple… FANS have already hollered on that . this 6 month wait has an intensity that will set afire any time fans don’t like … he’s too hot. go and make donuts
i’m still celebrating… Ron Carlivati…. RUN WITH THIS. SHOW your last employer what you are
show FV and Shelley and Jean… and whomever… WORK THIS .. that’s your best eye to eye… equal and yes… that top prize of best of show
I want my little starlet… Claire… I adore how well you’ve mixed as well… HEY we have got to prop the younger set. any way…. she’s been doing just fine on her own…. I wouldn’t mind a scene or two from Marlena and John… just to keep them mixed in that much more.
I absolutely love Tyler Christopher in his new role as Stefan O. (Rather ironic since Stephen Nichols played his uncle on GH as “Stefan” Cassadine. I always missed Nichols on GH; loved his portrayai as Stefan Cassadine and I loved the scenes at the mansion in the early days…when Stefan and Nicolas moved there…and Alexis was found out to be Stefan’s half sister/Nic’s aunt. The parties they had there..the Masquerade Ball, etc. That was such an incredible time on GH…really packed with adventure, intrigue and magic…
But I digress! I love seeing both actors on Days as well as Mary Beth, Wally and Greg Vaughn. It’s like GH2! I hope Tyler and Stephen have some scenes together…
I think the actress playing Ciara is gorgeous; love her hair. On the other hand, I am, to be polite, not that enthralled with Olivia Rose Keegan…Claire…on any level.
And, if Steve (Monsieur Nicols) says, “I love you, BABY” one more time…ahhhh…can he not call Kayla by any other name???? Baby, baby, baby…no. Do love them though…
I see a romance brewing between Ciara and Tripp. And, with all her love for Theo, Claire will probably wind up being jealous.
Oh man, you said it all!
I also am one who really appreciates an actor who can convey so much with just their eyes. It is a rare talent and not many exhibit. Owen Wilson (Wedding Crashers), Ben Stiller (There’s Something About Mary), and Matthew Rhys (The Americans) — this guy could put his body on vacation and just leave his eyes in the scene, he is that good! They all seem to exhibit this organic affect that really resonates with me and does not seem forced.
LOL Chrystie_Delancey…There’s Something About Mary was hilarious! That dog…when he attacked? Hahahah…too funny!
Patrick. I hear u loud and clear. I totally agree with you about Carrie, JJ, Abby and Stefan, and Tripp. Those are my must see characters and stories. I disagree with Eric and Jenn though. I d love to see Eric together witj Jenn til Nicole comes back to rekindle their romance. Ericole are a days supercouple.
Oh, Patrick!!!!….my poet….Noooo, not Claire—terrible acting….and, albeit I like nuCiera better than the sorased original, she overacts…..no one can do a 180 the way this characted did..—-not believable.
Tripp ( sp) is unbelievably good ( the actor; that is). He is ‘collected’ and mature for his age….he ‘has it bad’ for Claire ( ugh), but tries hard to control himself.
You know what I think? Tripp and Ciera will fall for each other….I will welcome that—Claire is like Devon ( Y&R) to me……they both look twelve.
Thanks for the heads-ip, my friend…..you think John is messing with Steve’s beverages as a means to an end? A good end?….that is, to seek an ophthalmologist where he will need surgery, and voila’, Steve, miraculously, gets his eyesight back? Hmmmm….I give you an A+ for that assumption, Patrick.
This would exculpate John…..we shall see.
RAFE!!!!! Anyone with Rafe is fine with me….just not Hope.
Patrick…poet or pirate???? LOL, ARGH!!!! Both? Pirates have been known to ‘poeticize’ …
Sandman comes ‘n starts ‘t raise.
Golden dunes o’ fairyland.
A world o’ dreams ahead now lays.
Come on lovely close yer eyes,
‘n by th’ gods o’ sea ‘n sky.
Start ‘n sail on puffy clouds.
This was my Scottish grandfather’s favorite lullaby. LOL.
Little Lauren….still miss her….there are no children left on this show….well, just babies, which we hardly see.
Ciera needs to calm down…..she was such a malleable child…..she hasn’t been gone that long for her to come back as a holy terror—-so contrary. I’m not saying I don’t like her because I do…..it’s Claire that makes me grind my teeth, LOL…sorry, Patrick, I know you like her….
Days is the best!!
Great job Days and it sure helps that Vivian is back and Eve too.Oh ya I am 65 so us old people watch it too lol I never miss and episode.Been watching it for over 30 years now.
That’s great, I love watching Days too!
One thing I have noticed about Y&R and Days is that CBS and NBC promo them with ads throughout the day. You wouldn’t think it was their preferred demo, but saw Y&R teaser just this morning on CBS morning news. Can’t hurt. Whereas ABC does nothing with GH.
The writers on GH have done a decent job.
Over at Y&R which has such good ratings, the stories SUCK! Dina was the best part of the show and she is off the air. Thank God Scott is gone! Nick, Noah, Billy, and Mariah are floating around with nothing to do. ANYONE attached to Devon is FF city! He gets all this screen time and he is the worst! Michelle Stafford could be finishing up at GH, bring her back, for starters. AND, Muhney can save the show. It just has to be written and produced as an american soap and not some over seas garbage!
Agreed, T……especially the MS and MM part!!
I don’t know what it is, but I just can’t take Devon seriously….to have Hilary go over his head the way she did? Well it speaks volumes as to his weak character as the head of a large company, and as a man.
D – I – D
(you) or any one … catch
the underlying simmering tantalizing sexualities @Carrie and Rafe ! WOW Christie Clark with her shoulder length hair LOOKING FINE. OH it was All I could to contain myself
Picture it : Christie Clark HAS to BE HIRED.
Carrie and dad Roman
Carrie and Rafe. sorry Hope..
it was a nice “dig” about Carrie knowing Rafe slept with Sami. as Rafe .. wants to get to the point… what are going to do ?
to see this family together… in one place !
JOSH TAYLOR has been so bang up job. he deserves to have “HIS” own daughter in Salem.
Rafe never looked hotter and dancing
Carrie , my Carrie
I agree that Carrie needs to be back full time again! I’d love to see carrie and Rafe together again. Carrie’s return is really shaking Hope up.
I think that having homosexuality is wrong on your show. I caught my 2 young sons watching it after school. I was horrified. I never watched it again myself. My 2 sons saw them in bed. I had to get this channel blocked. .

Monday on Entertainment Tonight, the second set of nominations for the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards were announced which included the highly-coveted Outstanding Lead Performance in a Daytime Drama Series – Actress and Outstanding Daytime Talk Series.

Now, five leading ladies of the soaps are vying for the gold for Lead Actress and the category marked the first-ever nominations for CBS daytime’s Beyond the Gates when two actresses made the final cut.
