Days Of Our Lives
RATINGS: Y&R Scores Largest Weekly Audience Since Late March! GH Up In All Demos and Total Viewers!
Courtesy/CBS
The ratings are out for the week of September 8th through the 12th, and Shemar Moore’s (Malcolm) two-day return visit and the fallout from the Mariah (Camryn Grimes) reveal landed The Young and the Restless its largest weekly audience and best women 18-49 key demo rating since March 28th.
That is the number one soap’s best showing in 19 weeks! Y&R averaged 4.70 million viewers (up +3% from the prior week), 1.3/09 in women 18-49 (up +8%) and 2.0/13 in women 25-54 (up +5%).
General Hospital scored well during the ratings period too, up in all demos and in total viewers! The ABC soap was back up over 3 million for the ratings week with 3,003,000 as its tally. And in the key demos, GH was up in all categories: Women 18-49 (+24K), Women 18-34 (+1K) and Women 25-54 (+34K).
Days of our Lives also added viewers for the week adding +33,000 finally bringing the NBC soap opera back to 2,500,000. DAYS was also up in the 18-34 demo adding +11,000 to its tally. The only soap for the ratings week to lose total viewers was CBS’ The Bold and the Beautiful, while still firmly in second place amongst the four network soaps. However, they were only down slightly – 10,000 for the ratings period. You can view the entire ratings picture via SON here!
So, time to be our Soap Opera Programming Executive Armchair Quarterback! What is enticing you to watch you favorite soap? What is driving you away? What would you like to see more of? Who are you happy with that is lighting up your daytime screens? Weigh-in below!
All three:GH, Days, and Y&R have shown improvement storywise…now lets not abandon any soap even when they disapointed…lets continue to show the networks they are wrong and long live our soaps…at least for a few more years…lol
I agree with you jim, we need to support the 4 soaps left. Days of our lives, General hospital and the Young and The Restless are on fire now. I watch all my soaps on youtube now. I love reading all your comments jim, mostly I agree with them, some not. I read some where online, that Erica slezak could come to young and the restless as Dina Abbott mergeron. Its just a rumour right now, I hope its true. I miss Erika so much.
It would be great to see ES on any daytime soap…miss her too!!!
Her and Peter Bergman are practically the same age.
I totally agree with you jim, hopefully the rumour is true. I love erika, what a wonderful actress and classy, sassy lady.
Yeah, j. Peter and Erika are close in age. So are DePaiva and Shaughnessy on DOOL….the latter plays her father. So, anything goes. The thing is Erika looks great for her age, so it wouldn’t work. Fortunately, Kassie doesn’t look a day over 40. Also, Shaughnessy hardly makes an appearance, so one never sees them together. I can only hope I’ll maintain my youth into my fifties and sixties as they seem to have been. Lol
But, be that as it may, I would love for the role of Dina to be reprised.
I miss Erika too. I love, love, love that rumor and hope to see it come to its fruition. The shadow of Pratt makes me worried, however.
There are certain actors who looked middle age when they were in their late twenties. I call it the Gene Hackman syndrome. The good thing about this is that they are ageless. Erika Slezak looked about 45 to 50 when she was thirty. Now that she’s in her late sixties, she still looks about 45 to 50.
I think she is so talented she could make it work as Dina.
However, I would rather she play Katherine’s long lost little sister coming home to claim what is hers. I’d like to see her go head to head with Jill.
Slezak is fine. However, I would rather see Elizabeth Hubbard take on the role of Dina Abbott Mergeron. With the demise of ATWT, this is one viewer that sorely misses her on a soap.
Erika looks great for her age…68. I’d say she looks that…maybe early 60s. Forties/Fifties? Not even close. I think years ago…she might have passed for what then looked fifty. Not in today’s world.
The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of Erika playing Dina. It’s too bad they had to kill off John Abbott as she would be terrific in scenes with involving him. Wouldn’t they make a fetching couple? I will settle for Dina interacting with John the ghost. I like John the ghost. He’s kind, he listens intently and he dresses well.
Loved all the mulitple GH storylines at Crichton Clark the several weeks, but most everything else going on was nothing but filler.
M-T-W at Crichton Clark were great. T & F’s shows were all filler. No cliffhanger whatsoever for Monday!
Days has been dull lately but still better than the others although I am loving Y&R sad that Pratt guy is coming to town!!!
Is see that GH viewership was up. You can be sure that it had absolutely NOTHING to do with Sonny and Carly et al, and had EVERYTHING to do with the hostages and the possibility of seeing the new Jason (which didn’t happen).
I dont think we get to see new Jason until the end of October?
A drive-by stunt casting of Shemar Moore on Y&R doesn’t sustain any big momentum for the show’s ratings. Obviously, the show’s internal research established the show was on a slippery slope downward. That’s why JFP just fired her second group of head writers in less than a year. Now Chuckie Pratt will take over….God help Y&R. I’ll bet next week’s Y&R numbers are down, substantially down.
Ah, Ruby…please don’t rain on my parade!!
CeeCee, I agree.
Hopefully the viewers who tuned in for Shemar’s
appearance will stick around because they are interested in the other ditties being told
I think it’s the Sharon-Nicholas and Mariah dynamic which is causing the ratings to rise. Also, the return of Phyllis has already provided some really interesting entertainment. The writing has improved.
Not surprised Y&R went up. People probably tuned in to see Meredith Baxter’s debut, and Shemar Moore’s return. This was also tGH’s first week in it’s new timeslot. This is a good sign soaps are gaining viewers heading into the fall. Also interesting to see what Y&R’s new head writer can do.
I really dont think MBB would draw any new viewers. She is great but we’ll see how they write her. Do they dare have Nikki fall in love with Maureen?
I hope that happens. Only another woman can get to the heart and soul that is Nikki. Victor humors her like he would a child…so patronizing, as only Victor could be. This would be a great storyline, IMO. But, as you say, Timmm…would they go there?!
I suggested a lesbian affair between Nikki and Maureen as soon as we learned of Meredith Baxter’s role as Nikki’s booze buddy. First the drinks followed by the YackeR sessions and holding hands and more vodka and hugs then friendly kisses and more vodka and YawneR after YawneR with googly eyes and finally a stolen kiss and more vodka due to the confusion!
You have to be careful though. Some people get angry over such suggestions.
You are sooo right,4ever. There are still those who get bent -out -of -shape by the mere mention of the word homosexuality. We discuss heterosexuality and all its trimmings , so why not homosexuality? Unfortunately, as you say, people do become angry and also turned off.
But, man…what a plot twist a lesbian affair would be….so there Victor !!! LOL.
I am not surprised. Y&R is finally looking like the kind of show I am used to watching……great character role playing with many twists and surprises. And, of course, Shemar Moore was an enormous plus…LOVE HIM !!!!
Nina’s awakening culminated it for me….Gina was great….anticipating the ‘mostest’ from her….can’t wait…kudos, Y&R….yeeeessss !!!!!
Gina didnt awaken as Nina…she’s NuPhylis…Gina shouldv’e been Nina on GH but Michelle Stafford who was Phylis at Y&R is now Nina on GH…had MS stayed at Y&R as Phylis, i bet GT wouldv’e played Nina on GH instead of Phylis at Y&R…lol
Oops, jimh. I got a little confused there. But, I bet you knew what I mesnt, right?…….right? ….LOL
but with old Phylis awakening from a coma on GH as Nina and now GT as NuPhylis just awakening from a coma at Y&R i can understand the confusion…lol
Of course i knew what you meant…how else would i know to correct you…lol
Loving my “GH“ 🙂
Y&R needed a ”gimmick” Shemar Moore to get a lift in numbers..
but.. whatever works works .. good move ..
General Hospital is the true #1 soap, numbers be damned ..
Numbers have meaning to the sponsors but to the fans their soap is the best even if only with 20 viewers, it still is the best.. and the numbers going up and down makes no difference to the fan/viewer, they just happily watch 🙂
ALL of the 4 soaps are #1 to their fans..
Showing the rating number puts the soaps in competition lol goofy stuff ..
long live the soaps !!!
You write all this negativity attempting to rain on people’s parades which is fine–just own it. But then you follow with “long live the soaps” and a smiley face…………………………
Oh, that makes it okay then.
Happy GH is up and happy seeing Anna in action.
Glad the stories with all those unfrozen villains didn’t last forever.
Want more Anna, Liz , Jordan , Tracy in their respective stories.
Liking Rosalie, Nina is a hoot, and Ava too.
Not into anything with Sam at the moment need a break from her and Carly.
Sabrina as cray cray also boring. Patrick horny for Sam yucky!
Sonny horny period yucky!!!
Can’t wait to see billy miller, yummy!!! Hope his Jason gets with Liz because prince nikolas loss his charm, talk about dense!! Fluke needs to get back so we can see ric and Luke return. heather return needs to be brief. Can somebody give Laura a call for a visit?
Can Anna take a robin and trained her ass to kick ass, considering how much she gets kidnapped this girl needs some extensive training pronto before jerry returns to town and thinks it’s his turn to hold her hostage again.. She needs to get back at him for shooting her years ago at the metro court and for the two year kidnapping.
Funny post. I have pretty much given up on GH because GH has pretty much given up on Laura…………………………
Think of Laura, left home, but I know she wanted it that way.
Hey Laura, where are you now? Someone ought to write a song.
But seriously, I miss Laura too, and with the Fluke situation it seems imperative that Luke’s angel come back. I realize you can’t go home again but you can visit from time to time.
Um, nope, she did NOT want it that way…. if you’re referring to Genie that is. That is corporate spin, completely.
Elizabeth, those are the lyrics to the Christopher Cross song entitled “Think of Laura.” It was actually written for Laura after she disappeared into the fog on the pier that fateful night back in 81.
I was making a joke! I thought fellow GH soap fans would get my frame of reference.
PS. Elizabeth: I do love that you defended Laura, however. I cannot see Fluke and the real Luke coming back without her. She was always such an integral part of who he was and is as a character.
After I spoke of that Christopher Cross song, I looked up “Think of Laura” on Youtube and various Laura videos popped up in accordance to that song. If you’re as sappy as I am about Luke and Laura, you might get verklempt if you watch. I miss Laura.
to harry… Christopher Cross did for his second lp back 1983 “Think of Laura”
Thank you Brian. I realized my mistake after posting.
I was also wrong when I said the song was played during the time Laura disappeared into the fog. It was later played just around the time Mayor Spencer saw Laura on the lawn from the balcony of the mayor’s mansion. GREAT moment.
I was about 19 when that scene played and I was working at Macys while a college undergraduate. This is before the DVR and I didn’t own a VCR. I had to work the day Laura came back. So, when GH aired at two o’clock I went up to the television/stereo department and watched on their television. No one could find me and I never confessed my true whereabouts. I made up some story about chasing a shoplifter in the mall.
Not surprise about B&B — having to endure another round of who will Hope pick only to change her mind again, put me in soap hell once again. The only semi interesting thing on that show right now is Ridge and Caroline relationship– yes I see yet another triangle coming down the road, this time with Ridge /Rick/ Caroline– but those scenes where he was drawing with her, guiding her hands, — damn that was sexy
The D in Days stands for disappointing. Eve isn’t what I hoped for, neither is Jordan, Ben and Clive. Theresa has just become annoying beyond belief– I hope they get rid of her soon– so much potential down the drain with that one. Jen and Daniel who cares.
They even managed to ruin my favorite character Eric– who should get off his high horse — I could go on, but won’t all I know every day I watch Days I fall asleep halfway through it, so the D could also stand for Dull or Drowsy.
Y&R is neither good or bad at the moment— I guess it all I read is to believe we having the calm before the storm– literally and figuratively
GH– well it doesn’t make want to tear out my hair like B&B, it doesn’t put me to sleep like Days, there is actually a story being told at times at least, so in my personal ratings race– GH has won the week.
GH was the best this week…especially with its very explosive episode!!!…lol
WHOOT WHOOT!! GH!!
the best of the best #1 for great fun, suspense, surprises and thrills!!
Never a boring moment..
the past week was AWESOME!! .. unique !! BANG!!
Me thinks Jordan’s secret on Days is that she was a prostitute and stepdaddy Clyde was her pimp(i know its been done here before…lol)…Eve is a let down…Like Kassie but she shouldv’e not played Eve…her and Paige still couldve been related to the Bradys…maybe Caroline had a sister and Kassie was her daughter named Viki?…or she couldve played Amanda Howard(played by the late Mary Fran)…Paige’s her daughter after a brief fling with Frankie…maybe she couldve been even briefly married to Jack off screen…as Eve she needs a different storyline…Bev tried to break up J.J. and Paige and this only seems like a continuation…shouldve just kept Bev! Paige shouldve been a singer and a rising star and Eve becomes jealous over her own daughter because Eve was a fine singer but had less success…and intefers with Paige’s chance at reaching superstardom and at the same time puts a wedge between Paige and J.J., who plays guitar in Paige’s band, hoping Paige will give up her promising career so her jealous mother Eve can step in and take her daughters place in the spotlight…if the actress who plays Paige could sing of course…imo it would be far more interseting than what Eve is doing now!!!
What a fertile brain you have, jimh. You really do make a lot of sense…I never tire reading your posts.
Definitely agree with you about Kassie De Paiva’s character. Somehow its too one dimensional right off the bat. LOVE the shout out to Mary Fran, Amanda Howard was one of my absolute favorites – especially with Neil Curtis right when I started watching Days as a teenager. Still think their chemistry was the greatest. Can’t see KDP as her though – way too young…
Whoot Whoot?
Oh, I am sooooo not a Whoot person.
Hold the phone! Y&R is still the best. In other words it is simply the best better then all the rest! Deal with it. Lol I refuse to fold into politics let the chips fall where they may. But for me gh is slapstick. It will be the first to go down in flames.
k/kay — if everything I am reading about the new Head Writer on Y&R is true– will Y&R be turned into another GH? I am like a mother I have room in my heart for all four soaps– each with their unique strengths and weaknesses, but Y&R is like my first born– I have a special fondness for it and as you know pretty much will watch whatever they give me– but hope it will stay classy— so should I expecting vampires in GC, or will Mr. Pratt continue more along the lines of MAB?
Don’t have a clue what Pratt will do. Y&R for me was beginning to turn around why JFP brought him in I do not know if it becomes unwatchable again for me I won’t watch. I refuse to get my panties in a bunch anymore over the soaps. I will always wish them the best all remaining four but if nothing interests me I simply do not watch. Life is too short to complain and spew out negative remarks as I have done in the past. I am turning over a new chapter in my life only positive thoughts always. 🙂
Kay, I am tired of these rash decisions. David Tom was finding his sea legs as Billy–he was becoming Billy on his own terms. And then he was abruptly fired and his replacement was just baffling to me.
Maybe Pratt will surprise us. Maybe he learned from his mistakes. It’s pretty to think so anyway.
k/kay– that is a wise and sensible approach to soap watching and pretty much life itself. The reason I asked you about Mr. Pratt is I know in the past you sometimes have an inside scoop and I just wanted to prepare myself as to what to expect. Since I have been on this site I have come respect your opinions and insights on the soaps especially Y&R— so good luck with the new leaf and God bless
Mary I do not really know much about Pratt I do know that Susan Lucci in her book states he was pretty awful and did not care about the history of the characters. But to be honest with you I did not think MAB or LML stayed on point with them. I am not a big fan of JFP as you know but I feel here lately she and the writers were trying to rectify that. I was shocked that she brought Pratt in. I refuse to believe that JFP would try to get Y&R cancelled would that not put her out of a job? The one thing I will say she did not fir any of the veterans like I was afraid she might. Yes we lost Miller, Stafford & Muhney. But only Stafford was a veteran and she wanted to try something new. If Pratt comes in and starts trashing it I just will quit watching again! Lol
I agree with some; GH is the true number one soap!
I don’t agree. It had one decent day out of two hundred days. The story telling is disjointed, badly paced, fragmented and not character based. The bloated cast only makes things worse. Moreover, every story is isolated from the other–there is no sense of community anymore tying in the characters to each other.
John Donne wrote,”No man is an island.” Well, of course unless he lives in Port Charles under Ron.
Days and BB just aren’t pulling me in. I think they announced AS leaving too soon. Now I just don’t care, get it over with and let’s move on. Don’t really care about Ejami. I’m really sick of the Liam/Hope/Wyatt triangle on BB so much so that I took a break from watching. I have watched BB since day one but it is so repetitious I just can’t.
Awesome to see GH hit the 3 million mark for the first time in a while!! So much for all the hand wringing that some people were doing over the timeslot change, and how that was the beginning of the end for the show, lol.
I’m sure the increase has to do with all the drama and action at the clinic, with the kidnapping of Maxie and Lulu, the return of The Cassadines, the intrigue over Jason etc, which came to a climax this past week, and was some of the most exciting shows they’ve done in quite a while, in my opinion. But with that storyline having wrapped up, and the focus back to Port Charles, let’s hope they can keep the positive momentum going into the fall.
I could stop watching B&B for a year and miss nothing, I’d tune back in and there would be Liam and Hope….
Y&R is finding its groove again. Telling stories and building characters. GH is GH again. Its about shock factor and over the top characters. Its all in what you look for in being entertained. I love them both. I think Days would be the first to go. GH to follow only because Y&R and Bold are on CBS and they have had better support from their networks throughout the years. Keep watching and keep ALL four!
A BIG shout out to whoever brought Shemar Moore back because we as loyal viewers got to erase that awful recast from our minds. Baby Girl it was worth it! 🙂
I will always follow Shemar…wherever he goes, I go. Next to my husband, of course, Shemar and now Ryan P. do it for me.
As far as negativity, I am with you, k/Kay. I am just positively enthralled that we do have these remaining soaps…and I do complain now and then. But, I will join your positive thoughts and keep the complaints ( observations) to a minimum. Life is too short is right, and I want my kids to grow up in a positive atmosphere….always.
General Hospital played up in its classic action/adventure with the whole Cassadine Saga. Great to see Anna in action, the wsb involved the Jones and Spencer offspring living up to their parents legacy, and oh Ryan Paevy is becoming the best addition the soap has had in a very long time. Mystery intrigue danger villiany heroism romance disaster secrets… Thats GENERAL HOSPITAL
Allen Saint James,
I agree with you about Ryan Paevey being the best casting GH has done in a very long time, til Billy Miller. IMO. Even though Paevey doesn’t have much acting experience & some think he’s still wooden, he has actually loosened up a lot and IMO, he is always believable. This is new to him yet he doesn’t forget his lines like another newbie, sorry Sabrina. IMO she stumbles over her lines in almost every scene. She’s pretty, but she seems to be getting worse, not better. Paevey have a really strong presence & an ease about him that draws you in. You can’t buy that. You either have it or you don’t.
Just a reminder Y&R, and days air in way more countries than gh, so the numbers are a bit unfair, if it went strictly by America Gh would win.
I’m pretty sure these ratings are for the week of the time slot change for GH, NOT the week of the Cassadines & the adventures at Crichton-Clark. Those come out in a few more days.
I love that all the soaps are climbing or steady.
No idea how B&B is ahead of anyone, let alone GH, since it’s running on 1 storyline & it’s a doozie. I don’t understand anyone’s thinking in this. The heroine is choosing between 2 brothers (think this has been going on for months), even though 1 of them is the love of her life. Others have conspired to keep them apart, but they decide to meet at a designated spot on the day of her wedding to the brother. If they meet then it was destined & she’ll dump her groom to be. He’s 3 minutes late due to others interference so she leaves & marries the brother. Then later finds out others conspired to keep them apart, but now she has to stay in the marriage cuz she’s pregnant. The love of her life asks her to abort it and leave with him. WTH am I watching? The entire cast, what few I’ve seen, has no life and no subject other than who is the heroine Hope’s true soulmate & did she do the right thing?
And folks call GH campy!
These ratings were for the week of the time slot change for GH, not the Cassadine hijinks, but ratings are up so I’m now dying to see the next ratings! I’d be STUNNED if GH doesn’t continue to climb. Those were the most amazing set of shows I’ve seen in YEARS on GH! I’m finally getting used to Cartini and staring to relax.
Love the pace, the shocks, the thrills, the humor and the boldness of these writers. There is no line drawn that they haven’t tried to cross.
Love Patrick & Sam bonding no matter where it goes. He forget that little thing bout telling her about Jason being alive and all!
Alexis & Ned, Alexis & Sam, Alexis & Julian… more, more
Ava’s hormones have made her human. The writers have had me hating her for months to loving & cheering for her now..partly because I loathe Sonny & his middle-aged goons running all over town with their guns like they’re playing cops and robbers. They should be home w/the little woman babysitting grandkids instead of pissing their life away for Sonny and the mob. I hate, hate, hate Sonny & the mob & the women that throw their lives away to be with them! Please bring back Jason Quartermaine or a anti-mob Jason.
Love Nathan and Maxie and Nathan and sis Britt. She’s growing on me.
Liz is tiny. She finally kicks Nik to the curb. Yes! She’s frying bigger fish at GH w/attending to mystery patient Jason Morgan! BRING IT CARTINI!!
Nina in her Olivia Newton-John workout ensemble complete w/headband was magic.I love Nina!
Silas is a Debbie Downer snore. Franco needs Nina. Monica needs a storyline and a man. I think she’s getting both. Please Jason, don’t be cruel to your mom this time around. Please give Monica scenes w/her son.
GH is on fire right now!
