FOR THE ‘09-10 SEASON TO DATE, ‘DAYS’ IS DELIVERING THE BIGGEST YEAR-TO-YEAR GAIN OF ANY MAJOR-NET DAYTIME SERIES IN TOTAL VIEWERS AND WOMEN 18-49

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – November 5, 2009 – NBC’s “Days of our Lives” has delivered strong Nielsen ratings results for the week of October 26-30, scoring gains versus the same week last year of 8 percent in women 18-49 viewers and 11 percent in women 25-54.

For the week of October 26-30, “Days of our Lives” (1.4 rating, 8 share among women 18-49, 1.0/6 among women 18-34) tied for #2 among network daytime series in both women 18-49 and women 18-34. “Days” matched its highest women 18-49 rating in 10 months (since the week of December 8-12, 2008) and tied its highest women 18-34 rating in four months (since the week of June 8-12).

Compared with the same week last year, “Days of our Lives” was up 8 percent in women 18-49 (899,000 vs. 833,000), up 11 percent in women 25-54 (989,000 vs. 892,000) and up 9 percent in total viewers (3.0 million vs. 2.7 million).

Season to date, “Days of our Lives” is tied for #2 in both women 18-49 and women 18-34.

People give me this pathetic shocked look when it ever comes up that I watch soaps. They admit that they watched soaps in college, but can't believe that anyone with half a brain would still watch soaps. The stigma is there.

[Ann_SS]

Sounds like Days and GH tied for the 18-49 women demo. Kudos to Days for its audience increase. I don't know how they are doing, but the show is solid and well written.

[Raven04]

Looks like for this week's latest ratings, DOOL went up:

http://tvbythenumbers.com/2009/11/05/days-of-our-lives-equals-its-highest-women-18-49-rating-since-december/32744

[JaneAusten]

I am thrilled that GH did not beat them with the return of the great JJ and the murder of Claudia crap. And Days is firing on all fronts. They had the guts to fire key cast members(take a lesson GH), cut salaries, and go back to what I call old fashioned soapy storytelling. The vets that remain are key characters in key storylines going on and they don't shove newbies on 24 by 7. The integrate younger/newer cast members with established characters and vets. While the show is not great, I think it by far is back to what they need to do to be successful.

[JaneAusten]

So for all the hype, GH gained .1 in their 2 key demos? I guess I'll wait to see the rest but kudos to Days. they deserve it.

[Ann_SS]

Right last week was JJ's return and sweeps started on Thursday with Claudia kidnapping Carly on Friday. It seems like GH went up, but Days matched them in the key 18-49 women demo. We'll have to see if Days held on to 3rd in overall viewers.

[Ann_SS]

I was skeptical that JJ and the Claudia story could bump GH's ratings. .1 may be a natural fluctuation. Whatever the reason for the bump, GH cannot out pace Days which is becoming the no. 3 soap and holding its own in the demos.

[JaneAusten]

Days is now solidly in 3rd place. And honestly they deserve it. The returns they have (Carly especially with the fabulous Crystal Chappel) IMO is equal to or bigger than JJ. She had a huge following at GL with the Otalia storyline and I have to believe not only lapsed Days fans but also Otalia fans followed her over. I think she's terrific and finally helps add some drama and spice to Hope and Bo along with Wally Kurths return there.

[Carolyn1980]

Unless DAYS tied with The View, in which case GH is either the same or down from last week.

[JaneAusten]

Oh you are correct. Last time the Days press release was posted it was the same thing. I thought it was GH Days was tied with and it turned out to be The View then also. Kill me I'd love it if all the ONLINE hype for JJ went no where. Although Sarah Brown worked her acting a*s off these past couple of weeks and it would be nice if folks could have tuned in for that.

[Ann_SS]

It is hard to believe that GH is down from last week. After all that promotion of their two big happenings: JJ's return and Claudia's departure.

[Raven04]

Yeah, Carly's return is much bigger then JJ's return. She is probably bringing the GL and especially Otalia fans over. I think DOOL is going to keep going up in the coming weeks: with Vivian/Carly stuff.
