[Rakesh]

I predict everyone did well.

[smadleyb]

I predict everyone did well.

here's hopin'

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I think this is going to be a bad week, I thought that last week and was relatively proven wrong, but I don't see most of the soaps staying the same or gaining last week...

[dmarex]

I really hope you'll be proven wrong. But I have a feeling they won't be able to keep up again.

[amazing7]

I predict all of ABC Soaps dropped to the bottom.

[rangethatrover]

I agree with WorldTurner and Amazing.

The only show that seems to have any ratings spark is Days. And Days during the holidays generally does very well..

I would like to see Y&R hit 4.0 on any given day- that would be cool..

I have been wrong the last two weeks but I say THIS is the week that AMC and OLTL hit 1.9 again.

[amazing7]

I have a feeling it's going to be more like 1.8 for both shows. And probably 2.1 for GH or the same.

[TMOTVSoaps]

I haven't seen too much bad news from the soaps since October so December has been the best month in a while for all 8 of the soaps. Its been a long time since I've seen the soaps this healthy in a non-sweep month so hopefully the soaps at least stabilize this week or drop very small. I honestly don't see the growth for the soaps again until the week of January 5, 2009.

I've got a weird feeling Y&R got a 4.0 last week, this show is on fire right now and the 3.9s its been getting are bound to turn into 4.0s at some point.

ATWT is getting back on track too so it should be up or stablized. B&B, I'm worried about with that sick storyline.

For the ABC Soaps, I see the same ratings for this week as there's really not too much going on during that week.

DAYS amazing turn around year to year is an amazing story and the 43 year old soap is getting hotter and hotter reaching 3+ million viewers for the first time last week. DAYS benefits from staying new during the holidays except New Year's Day last week for the pre-empted great hockey game from Wrigley with the Blackhawks and Red Wings, which got a huge 2.9 rating with almost 5 million viewers.

Wednesday and Thursday of that week are non-existent.

[JackPeyton]

I just hope Days holds steady or goes UP!

[jhc2010]

Here are the ratings of some of the events that took the place of Soaps over the New Year's Holiday...


Overnight Ratings:

ABC:
College Football: Capital One Bowl - Georgia/Michigan State (1 PM ET, Thursday) - 7.2
Rose Bowl Pregame (4:30 PM ET, Thursday) - 6.9
College Football: Rose Bowl - Southern California/Penn State (5 PM ET, Thursday) - 12.6


CBS:
College Football: Gator Bowl - Nebraska/Clemson (1 PM ET, Thursday) - 4.3/8


NBC:
NHL: Detroit/Chicago (1 PM ET, Thursday) - 2.9/6

[dmarex]

When will the ratings be released?

[rangethatrover]

I don't even want to see them. I bet they are bad.

I just wanna see Y&R hit a 4.0 on any given day. It shows that there is some hope when there is quality.

[Ky_D]

2.3 for DAYS!!!

[Errol]

Only GH and OLTL didn't receive a holiday bump in viewers. Most soaps stayed the same compared to last week or were up slightly in households. DAYS and AMC only soaps to increase year-over-year in viewers. Interestingly, with the exception of GL, DAYS and AMC are the only soaps facing real cancellation possibilities.

[cody_1990]

Wow, Days really got a holiday bump this year!

[Ruxton Hills]

Wow, what is going on at Days? I've seen the show and it's ok. But to get that big of a bump. Just wow...Dena is beating Ron...LMAO.

[Rakesh]

Yay for GL. I knew DOOL would go up. NBC soaps always do good during the holidays.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Yeah, Dena won't be fired any time soon.

Glad that some soaps had a spike for the holiday's though. And nice to see that 4.0 for Y&R on Friday.

[bandbfan]

Y&R and B&B would've been helped by counting Wednesday. Maybe not in rating points, but in viewers.
