It was CBS Daytime that showed its strength during the latest ratings period of February 8th-12th. In the lead and gaining the most viewers for the week was The Young and the Restless adding +142,000 more than any other daytime drama. That brought their total viewer number up over the 5 million mark once again. The show was also up in every female demo category: 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54, where it performed extremely well adding +80,000 in total viewers for the category.
In story, it was the February 8th and 9th episodes that drew the most viewers, and that centered around Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon (Sharon Case) finally realizing the identity of Dr. Anderson (Elizabeth Bogush) and heading to Fairview to confront her. Only when they got there, the evil doc had a knife to the back and was killed. As the audience learned Patty (Stacy Haiduk) Williams killed her psychiatrist, and is the only person alive that viewers know of that holds the secret that Sandy Allen AKA Dr. Anderson gave Sage’s (Kelly Sullivan) baby to Sharon (Sharon Case)!

As for CBS The Bold and the Beautiful, they also had a strong week gaining +95,000 total viewers for the ratings period which added to their weekly average of 3,738,000. B&B continued to unspool the story of Quinn’s (Rena Sofer) machinations, as she literally has an amnesiac Liam (Scott Clifton) believing he is a man named Adam, and that they are a couple She apparently is sleeping with the guy, or getting quite cozy, even though she despises him so much! But this is all part of Quinn’s master plan to keep Liam occupied and away from Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood). Now Steffy believes Liam no longer wants her, or loves her, so Quinn is making sure her son Wyatt (Darin Brooks) has time to woo Steffy. It’s twisted Quinn logic at her best!
ABC’s General Hospital saw a slight uptick in viewers adding +39,000 eyeballs for the week making their total viewer average 3,024,000. However, GH lost viewers in all three key women’s demo categories. And as for Days of our Lives, they were the only soap opera to lose total viewers for the week with – 56,000, and then coming in at an average of 2,511,000, plus losing the most viewers across the board in all key demographic categories.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Jack Wants His Memory Back, But Do You Want Him To Reunite With Jennifer … Or Stay With Eve?
Since his return to Salem on New Year’s Eve of 2018, Jack Deveraux (Matt Ashford) has had no recollection of his past, although there have been some mini-breakthroughs along the way, but none big enough or strong enough to get him out of the clutches of Eve Donovan (Kassie DePaiva) and back into the arms of his longtime love, Jennifer Horton (Melissa Reeves).

Next week on Days of our Lives, looks like the story further heats up (according to the latest DAYS promo from NBC) where Jack tells Eve he wants his memory back. She had held the cards to Dr. Rolf’s formula and to the serum that could restore Jack’s memory, until Xander (Paul Telfer) got his hands on it, and turned it over in time to save the life of Will Horton (Chandler Massey).

So, now what will happen? Will Eve play nice and truly help Jack get his memory back, or will she once again play dirty pool? Meanwhile, look for Jennifer to make one more impassioned plea for Jack to remember their time together, and possibly decide it’s of no use and she must move on with her life. But, will Jack regain his memory in time to be reunited with Jennifer? If he gets his memory back, could somehow he still choose to be with Eve?
Who do you want Jack to end up with? Are you #TeamJennifer of #TeamEve? Let us know but first watch the promo for next week’s DAYS below, then share your choice via the comment section below.

Olivia Rose Keegan Posts Parting Thoughts As Her Final Episode As Claire Airs On DAYS
By now, many viewers of NBC’s Days of our Lives have watched Tuesday’s episode, which saw Claire Brady (Olivia Rose Keegan) being wheeled out of a hospital room and on her way to the Bayview Sanitarium to deal with what led her to become a Salem firestarter after her latest attempt to torch Ciara (Victoria Konefal) and then herself.
In story, realizing she is severely troubled, Claire gets the news from her parents, Belle (Martha Madison) and Shawn (Brandon Beemer) that she won’t be facing prison time for attempted murder, but instead, she does need to be put away in a mental facility and leave right away at the judges orders. That sets the stage for Olivia Rose Keegan to share her final scenes with many of her longtime co-stars before making her exit.
As her time on DAYS on-air came to a close, Olivia took to her Instagram to express her parting thoughts and the opportunity to play Claire, and be a part of the iconic soap opera
Keegan wrote: “Thank you for the best 4 years of my life. To everyone who watches the show: I cannot thank you enough for sticking with Claire through the good, bad, and batsh*t. Reading everyone’s comments/tweets this past week has been the most overwhelmingly amazing thing— It means more than you know I also owe a huge thank you to the @nbcdays writers for giving me an opportunity to dig my nails into some fascinating material with this past storyline— as well as shine a light onto mental health awareness. It would be too difficult to explain how much I love every single person in my @nbcdays family. It was a 4 year dream. I met lifelong friends, learned an infinite amount, and simply loved every minute of it. Farewell from Salem’s newest pyro ”
Make sure to check out her exit interview with her co-stars, Rob Scott Wilson (Ben), Victoria Konefal and Brandon Beemer, exclusively on the DOOL app released this afternoon to hear the groups thoughts on the cabin fire twist, and Olivia’s exit from the Days canvas, and more.
So, sad to see Olivia make her exit from DAYS? Do you hope she will come back for another turn as Claire? Comment below.

A killing will bring in viewers..
Dr, Anderson’s death brought in viewers..
Fans read the spoilers and only watch on the days something seems interesting to them, like a killing..
Killings bring in more absent viewers than weddings LOL
No killings on GH or B&B and they had increases. And since Dr. Anderson’s “killing” came quickly and was a bit of a surprise, don’t think that was the reason for Y&R increase. But for some like you, possibly the icing on the cake.
@Rose….Were GH to have some beneficial killings, you’d see a huge hike in the ratings! If there’s any soap screaming for at the very least a few well-chosen deaths to cull the numbers in its bloated cast, it’s this one! I’m suggesting a Dynasty-style Moldavian wedding massacre certainly wouldn’t have gone amiss at the Julian/Alexis matrimonial debacle…..there are plenty of expendable characters who shall be attending that mess of a marital event, and we both already know that absolutely nobody of consequence will emerge (permanently) scathed by the foreshadowed violence. And that’s the problem….there is this tendency by the showrunners to hold on to far too many characters out of a misplaced sense of loyalty or fondness even if they fail to catch fire or serve any real purpose. Sure, every once in awhile they make a big deal out of eliminating a popular legacy role like that of AJ or Duke, but on the whole, GH utilizes this plot device much too rarely. Then again, there are many other scenarios where a mere stroke of a pen could expediently clear the deck of marginal players, and I wish they would employ this method since there is such an obvious absence of the more dramatic death scenes. For example, Nina could take off with Crimson for NYC, leaving Maxie in charge of Port Charles operations, Sabs could decide to remain in PR with her Carlos-issued infant, Ava could abscond with Avery to parts unknown in order ensure her child’s future safety and Jordan could return to her federal employment allowing Anna to immediately resume her old position as PCPD commissioner…. Those are but four very quick and easy-peasy solutions that would require little time or effort, but would be extremely effective in extinguishing these dead-end characters’ presence on the GH canvas. Even more intriguingly, Hayden should take a nosedive off the parapet at Wyndemere, leaving a nifty old-fashioned whodunit to be solved…just think of all the superb suspects…Nik, Laura, Liz, even Helena???? And so on, and so forth….all I’m really saying is that there is such a lack of imagination in addressing the overcrowded atmosphere in Port Charles, and a few—or more—inventive “killings” would certainly prove a most rapid and effective means of alleviating that situation.
Stanley, you are so violent!
I hope for brighter Days ahead…too much gloom and doom is a downer and keeping the show in 4th… it was nice to see Days do that beach location shoot…still all ratings are ok but could be better-the return of CM as Will could give the show a much needed boost…i believe Sonny knows Will is alive…he did not forget Ariana…he is helping Sami with a comatose Will who will awaken from his coma and suffering from amnesia…i know we seen Will brutally attacked by Ben and looked as dead as could be but i still say off camera a pulse was found, Will survived and was in a coma, his funeral staged, and soon he will be coming home and Sonny will help him work on regaining his memory-its a soap where anything can happen so fans rejoice!!!!
I don’t know why anyone is watching Quinn’s insanity. Brad Bell has written such a horrible character, I refuse to watch her anymore. She just needs to be in prison.
Lia I agree with you! I can’t believe the current storyline with crazy Quinn planning to murder brain damaged Liam! Nuts! I refuse to watch it! Brad Bell should let Quinn fall if she tries to push Liam over the cliff! It’s ridiculous the way they have to write a crazy story line just to slow down a relationship just before marriage. Crazy!
I almost lost my cookies when “Adam and Eve” slept together!! Quinn Yuck!
As much as I hate to admit it, Y&R has been firing on all cylinders lately. Their stories are good. The cast is throwing in majorly good performances and they have great pacing. The only disgusting story on Y&R story is Lily and Cane. I swear all those two do is bang. Period. No story. No acting. Just get under the sheets. It’s HORRIBLE. The rest is good. Phyllis and the new Billy (Jason Thompson) are killing it. Victoria and Victor together are magic each and every time. Great father and daughter portrayals. I love the show even if some of the plot devices are retreads.
I do agree, Mateo.
was not surprised Y&R was up. a murder usually brings in viewers. i bet the highest rated shows were centered around the Dr. Anderson reveal and murder
viewers want to see Shick together again! we want our supercouples facing adversity and possibly reuniting!… shick, villy, hevon….not some b.s feud with victor vs some nobody villian, luca! thats why y n r s ratings are up and days are down, forced couplings like rafe/ hope and nicole / daniel doesnt work, too much dark material and no couples to root for! days is disappointing …
Total Viewers +/- compared to last year
Days +213,000
Y&R +118,000
B&B +22,000
GH -10,000 <——–
just saying …..
Thanks for pointing that out, su0000! Although DAYS lost a little from the previous week, it still has way more viewers than last year!
Good Point su0000 … Days is dark and depressing… .but liking it these days….. those poor characters in Salem.. I can’t think of one happy person on that soap.. Lots of stuff going against them… wow…
Thanks @su
am quoting, Ken Corday : “you will not recognize Days 6 months in”
that would be.. August, 2015 – January, 2016
who is responsible for this DAYS resurgence? could it be Dena Higley? or .. was it Josh Griffith… brought in to splash through the 50th anniversary… and waylay the audience Ignorance… and “fire” the much talked about and upheave all that DAYS pressed?
with Dena… I’m pissed.. and OK this is not first hand… is she responsible for… the killing off of Will .. his lover.. his beloved legacy character ? the Roberts Brady crest uphold?
why fire Josh Griffith.. when… even with all the juggling… it’s still in conversation… and is the most “complete” show.. shifting not from last… but… first.. in viewer attention
was it really because he commanded that much cache? he lined his bank with too much green.. and this is a budget fine line? meh on his ego
why wouldn’t NBC and Sony NOT run interference if ego and promise is not met?
why is KEN CORDAY.. not steering and catching DAILIES on an everyday
I so want.. with my hearts desire.. plus.. that Dena and Ryan find a likeness ; find a semblance; find a cornerstone; find an audience; fine tune scripts on par with equanimity
let’s go DAYS … renewed vim and vigor… pulsate
A killing might equal ratings but what’s doing it for this Y&R viewer right now are all the interwoven business stories revolving around the Newman and Abbott (and one Santori for now) feuding families. Reminiscent of the old Bill Bell Y&R.
I wish they hadn’t killed the doc off just yet, I would have liked to have seen a confrontation between her, sage, nick, sharon, & dylan, when pattie finally remembers and spills about the baby.
They could have had her run from all of them and jump out the window. SPLAT!
GH is losing viewers due to incredibly bad writing. It seems they put the cart before the donkey as far as actors and characters are concerned.
The writers, both past and present, and producers focus on nabbing that prize of an actor and then once they get them, they write their character ass backwards.
This is what has happened with Paul, Ava, Nina, Franco and Julian. They write these characters into a corner and the end result is that there is serious damage control transpiring and ultimately that character fails.
This is currently going on with Paul Hornsby big time. I was hoping things would improve with the new writing regime but I am afraid as long as Frank V is executive producer this will continue to go on.
I agree.. bad writing… bad writing!
Days of OUR Lives : Co-STARS who are bonded and working it
Jenn Lilly & Arianne Zucker : Theresa and Nicole
in the latest SOD issue: an interview with Arianne Zucker… who is nearing her 19th year at DAYS; shared .. this….
FUNNY LADIES
“Jenn Lilly (Theresa) and I have had some funny scenes where we’ve laughed hysterically. We’ve had to stop & start over. We have a really good time together. We call each other our sister-wives. Jenn has a great personality and she really loves her job ; it makes it really fun to work with her. ”
I’ve noticed a nice camaraderie on screen with these two…
gotta celebrate my girls
whodathunk… it’s been so long…. Theresa and Nicole each needed a BFF.. this is a real girlfriend thing going on
LOL
YES
Both Actresses are doing great at Days. … I have become very fond of Arianne.. she has been doing a great job.. They need to hook up her up with a good actor.. someone that is not as predictable and they have a good odd chemistry.. I am not wanting her with that new doctor… please keep them apart….
Where Liam and Quinn are concerned, I look at it like this: Quinn is just being, uh, Quinn…LOL!!!!! Yep.
