During the week of May 2-6, 2022, seven of the 13 daytime broadcast shows saw improvement compared to the same week last year among Total Viewers while another seven shows saw week to week increases. In fact, two shows saw improvement compared to their performance during the comparable week in 2020 when viewing levels were hitting multi-year highs as a result of more people tuning into television during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic. For the week, “The View” (2.339 million) saw the biggest week to week increase in viewers, up +125,000 viewers, followed by the first half-hour of “Let’s Make a Deal” (2.462 million) which was up just +35,000 viewers week to week. Compared to the same week last year, however, both shows were down, albeit not by much. “General Hospital” (2.215 million) was also up week to week, +17,000 viewers, and lost a mere -1,000 viewers compared to the same week last year. Impressively, the series was the only daytime drama series still showing originals during the comparable week in 2020 that managed to be up in viewers compared to two years earlier, +77,000 viewers. “The Talk” (1.572 million) was the only other daytime broadcast series to see increases in viewership compared to their 2020 performance, +29,000 viewers. Compared to the same week in 2021, “The Talk” was up +120,000 viewers. “TODAY with Hoda & Jenna” (1.473 million) again ranked last in Total Viewers for the week. The series has been hemorrhaging viewers in recent weeks as it’s been trailing perennial last-place finisher “The Talk” in viewers. The fourth-hour extension of “The TODAY Show” still performs decently in the all-important Women 18-49 and Women 25-54 demo ratings, however. “The Bold and the Beautiful” (3.108 million) marked its sixth week in a row in which it averaged more than three million viewers for the week. The series is up +342,000 viewers compared to the same week last year, the most for any daytime broadcast series, and is up +1.274 million over its comparable 2020 performance when it was airing its second full week of classic episodes (reruns). “The Young and the Restless” (3.542 million) had the second-largest increase in viewership compared to the same week last year, +272,000 viewers, and also saw an increase of +1.201 million viewers over its 2020 performance when it also aired classic episodes (reruns) for the second full week. Up week to week and year to year, “Days of our Lives” (1.696 million) was up +15,000 viewers and +120,000 viewers, respectively. “GMA3: What You Need to Know” (1.602 million) was also up week to week and year to year, up +26,000 and +120,000 viewers, respectively. What follows is a breakdown of how the daytime broadcast shows performed during the week of May 2-6 2022 in Women 18-49 rating, Women 25-54 rating, Households and Total Viewers, including a look at their comparable performance in 2021 and 2020, respectively. A closer look at the daytime soaps, including their daily performance in the demos, will be posted soon. Notes: Viewing levels were hitting multi-year highs in 2020 during the initial shutdown of the country due to COVID-19. “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Young and the Restless” began their months-long era of classic episodes.** Comparable 2020 figures for “GMA3: What Need to Know” are based on the performance of “Pandemic: What You Need to Know.” The current iteration was rebranded effective June 2020.

Is Jacqueline MacInnes Wood wearing a wig? I can't help but notice the hairline is more centered when her line is usually on the right. Plus the coloring seems off, and it's cut at the edges when Steffy clearly had more of a slight curl and longer hair when she got shot and was left in the alleyway. While I have to disagree with you on some of what you said, I definitely disagree on the 2022 discussion thread. I guess I'll have to take more of an active role in the discussions to spruce up activity. Definitely will not do a yearly thread thing. Monthly is perfect.

Joining the cast of “General Hospital” in February 2019 in the then recurring role of Harmony Miller, actress Inga Cadranel recently wrapped her stint on the daytime drama series after being placed on contract status last fall. The character died in the May 4, 2022 episode after succumbing to her injuries from being hit by a car. “That’s it! That’s all she wrote,” said Cadranel in a post on Instagram following her character’s demise. “I want to say thank you to ‘General Hospital’ fans! You guys are amazing. You stuck with this crazy character who did a lot of bad things. You saw through her pain and I am honored to have stepped onto the ‘General Hospital’ stage and into Hollywood history.” She noted the experience was so much fun and she has much love for the fans. “I see you. I thank you. The lights have officially gone out in Harmony’s dressing room.” “You are such an amazing actor, scene partner and human!” commented on-screen daughter, Katelyn MacMullen, who plays Willow Tait on the soap. “Harmony forever,” she added. In a separate post on Twitter, Cadranel said, “Wow. What a wild ride! I want to thank each & every ‘GH’ fan who took the journey with me. I loved playing this broken woman who only wanted love. Honored to have the chance to bring her life on ‘General Hospital.’ Now I say farewell Harmony. It was nice knowing you.” Katelyn MacMullen, Inga Cadranel (“General Hospital”) Photo by Craig Sjodin/ABC In recent months, it was revealed that not only was Harmony not Willow’s biological mother, but she was also behind the 2020 killing of Dr. Neil Byrne after she broke into Alexis Davis’ house and killed him while he was sleeping by injecting him with a drug that resulted in an overdose. Last month, Harmony tried to kill Neil’s brother, Brendon, through an overdose and by strangulation. Neither attempt was successful as she gave up before she could complete the deed. The character finally saw Brendon perish after he fell off a cliff. In an interview in the newest issue of Soap Opera Digest, on newsstands now, Cadranel told the publication of how she found out the character would be meeting an end. “Frank [Valentini, executive producer] let me know in advance that it was going to be a final, meaningful death,” she recalled. “I knew my contract was coming to an end and that was fine because I have other projects I am working on, but I thought it may be the type of storyline that would have Harmony disappear or leave [town] so that door could always be open down the road. I was definitely surprised when he told me he and the writers decided that Harmony was going to die.” Being that she’s a Canadian-born actress, Cadranel shares that her time on the soap meant a lot to her. “Obviously, I’m from another country where I have been on countless television shows. I have had a long career and never had to get a ‘real job’ since I started acting so I know I am fortunate as an actor, [but] moving to L.A. is a crapshoot for any actor who is not from here, and most of my friends and colleagues end up going back to Canada when it doesn’t work out. I am so grateful to have worked for ABC and Disney for these years in L.A. and feel honored to have been part of a show that is a legacy in Hollywood.” In addition to her time on “GH,” Cadranel has starred in multiple TV shows and movies since making her professional acting debut in 2000, including roles in “Orphan Black,” “Lost Girl,” “Rent-a-Goalie,” “Jeff Ltd.,” “Bury the Lead” and “Leap Years.” She most recently starred in the TV series “Workin’ Moms.” Note: The post Inga Cadranel Wraps Run as Harmony Miller on ‘General Hospital’: “That’s it!

The name is so basic. Considering her family has a company called Basic Black, that's not surprising. I'd rather BJ in this case. Something to have more fun with. haha

What is the Belle/EJ fan name? If you tell me it's BJ, I'll scream. Regardless, this original fan is GLEEFUL! (has nothing to do with this post).

Is there another thread somewhere I missed? Where's the May discussion for B&B?

Courtesy of DGA; SAG-AFTRA; IATSE; Teamsters The DGA, SAG-AFTRA, IATSE, Teamsters and the Hollywood Basic Crafts unions announced this evening a revised agreement with the AMPTP which modifies the current COVID-19 Safety Agreement that has been in place since September 2020. The new agreement “creates a more flexible set of protocols for areas of the United States and Canada with low COVID hospital admissions while maintaining core elements to keep sets safe,” the organizations say. Additionally, the modifications apply only to areas that have confirmed low COVID hospital admissions, leaving largely in place the requirements for areas experiencing surging admission rates. These new workplace practices apply to both vaccinated and unvaccinated cast and crew. Testing Protocols are as follows: Pre-employment testing is still required of all crews, but with modifications to the types of tests allowed. Testing will still be required on an ongoing weekly basis during production for Zones A and B, but reduced in frequency. Zones C and D do not require testing beyond pre-employment.Masking will not be required in most settings, with the specific exception of shuttle vans. Additional modifications include flexibility on meal service and rules related to transportation. The following current agreement conditions remain in place: Vaccination: The new agreement continues to allow employers to mandate that employees in Zone A be “up to date” on their vaccinations, including a booster.COVID Compliance Supervisor: Hiring of a dedicated COVID-19 compliance supervisor responsible for safety compliance and enforcement, who will be accessible to cast and crew at all times during working hours.Quarantine Pay and Sick Leave: All employees will continue to receive 10 days of COVID-19 paid sick leave, and the leave can be used for any of the eligible COVID-19 events (e.g. testing positive, exhibiting symptoms, isolation or self-quarantines, or when a member of their household tests positive for COVID-19). The agreement allows employers to impose more stringent requirements regarding masking and testing as the production circumstances require and will remain in effect through July 15, 2022. The parties will continue closely monitoring COVID-19 developments and will consider further modifications at that time. “The COVID-19 Safety Agreement is the outcome of unprecedented coordination and solidarity between the unions and collaboration with Employers to develop science-based protocols that minimize the risk of COVID-19 virus transmission in the industry’s unique work environments,” the group notes. “Since that time, the protocols have driven a successful rebound of film and television production while prioritizing safety for casts, crews and all on-set workers.” The agreement is between the AMPTP and the Hollywood unions which includes the Directors Guild of America (DGA), International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) and the Hollywood Basic Crafts, (Teamsters Local 399, IBEW Local 40, LiUNA! Local 724, OPCMIA Local 755 and UA Local 78) and Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA). Currently “General Hospital” is the only daytime drama series to officially have a vaccine mandate in place via The Walt Disney Company’s corporate mandate.

Following the cancellation of “Queens,” ABC has also decided against ordering a second season of “Promised Land,” a drama series that told the story of two Latin families vying for wealth and power in California’s Sonoma Valley. The series aired just five episodes since it premiered as a midseason replacement in January before it was pulled off the network’s schedule leaving its remaining episodes to air exclusively on Hulu. Over its first four airings, the series averaged a paltry 1.719 million viewers with a 0.19 rating in Adults 18-49 and a 0.30 rating in Adults 25-54, the two primary sales demos used to set primetime television advertising rates, according to Live+Same Day viewing figures released via ShowBuzzDaily. Factoring in delayed viewers (Live+7) over its first three episodes, the series average bumps up to just 2.9 million viewers and a 0.3 in Adults 18-49. Compared to ABC’s other dramas, “Promised Land” only performed better than “Queens” in Total Viewers while ranking last in the demo. Despite it being pulled by ABC, the show remained in production as it was allowed to complete its 10-episode order. The series starred John Ortiz as Joe Sandoval, Cecilia Suárez as Lettie Sandoval, Augusto Aguilera as Mateo, Christina Ochoa as Veronica Sandoval, Mariel Molino as Carmen Sandoval, Tonatiuh as Antonio Sandoval, Andres Velez as Carlos, Katya Martín as Juana and Rolando Chusan as Billy and Bellamy Young as Margaret Honeycroft.

ABC has decided against a second season for “Queens,” a freshman drama that follows a hip hop group who reunite decades after their ‘90s peak. The series starred Eve, Naturi Naughton, Nadine Velazquez and Brandy as women in their 40s who work to recapture their fame, fortune and swagger.

In the demos, the series finale managed to top only repeat airings of dramas “Superman & Lois” and “Naomi” on The CW .In the show’s finale episode, entitled “2022,” the Queens prepared to be inducted into the Hip Hop Hall of Fame but they couldn’t help notice the void Brianna’s (Eve) absence from the group had left. Meanwhile, Naomi (Brandy) was waylaid when an old beau questioned JoJo’s (Precious Way; “Days of our Lives”) paternity. Elsewhere, Valeria (Velazquez) got ready to embark on a solo tour and wondered if she really was ready to go at it alone.

EXCLUSIVE: Following an inquiry by Soap Opera Network, the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) will be updating the Daytime Emmy nomination totals for “Days of our Lives” and its spinoff “Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem.” Previously, the organization announced that the mothership series had received 11 nominations while the spinoff series had three. The update will reflect that “DAYS” now has 12 nominations while “Beyond Salem” has four. The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences In Thursday’s nominations announcement for “The 49th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards” there was confusion regarding the combined nomination for the two shows in the Outstanding Casting category which lists the two as a single nominee (“Days of our Lives / Beyond Salem NBC | Peacock”) in literature. In the three other three categories in which the shows are competing against each other (Outstanding Daytime Drama Series, Writing Team and Directing Team) the two are listed separately. We’re told this was an administrative decision based on the rules for each category. Further, in categories where entrants were allowed to submit a full episode (e.g. Series, Writing, Directing), “Beyond Salem” was allowed to separately enter. However, in categories where entrants submit a reel consisting of highlighted scenes from the year, “DAYS” had the option to include material from “Beyond Salem” on the same reel because it’s the same production team. The option was extended to other craft categories but Casting was the only one where it received a nomination in such a format. In correcting the matter, it’s understood that only the total number of Emmy nominations received by the two shows will be updated but no changes will be made in the literature, and the number of nominees in the category will not be increased. Instead, should the category result in a win, the statue will be engraved as “Days of our Lives / Beyond Salem NBC | Peacock.” The inclusion of “Beyond Salem” in any category marks the first time since 2014 that there are more than four daytime dramas competing, specifically in the category of Outstanding Daytime Drama Series. In fact, for the first time ever, a television series will be vying against its spinoff in the category, NATAS noted in yesterday’s release. The last spinoff series to receive a nomination in the category was “Port Charles,” a spinoff of “General Hospital,” in 2003. “GH” was not nominated that year while “As The World Turns” took home the gold. Outside of the aforementioned categories, “Days of our Lives” was honored with eight other nominations, including seven in the acting categories and a nomination for Live Sound Mixing and Sound Editing. Actor John Aniston who has portrayed the iconic role of Victor Kiriakis on the NBC series since 1985 will be the recipient of this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Photo by Chris Haston/NBC Stars Eric Martsolf and James Reynolds are nominated in the category of Outstanding Lead Performance in a Daytime Drama Series: Actor. In 2014, Martsolf won a Daytime Emmy for his portrayal of Brady Black on the soap but in the Supporting Actor category. He previously received a nomination in 2019 in the same category. Meanwhile, in 2018, Reynolds won in the Lead Actor category for his portrayal of Abe Carver. He was previously nominated for the role in 2004 and 2017 but in the category of Supporting Actor. He received his first-ever Daytime Emmy nomination in 1991 for his portrayal of Henry Marshall on the NBC soap “Generations.” Receiving her fifth Daytime Emmy nomination overall, Arianne Zucker and co-star Marci Miller are nominated in the category of Outstanding Lead Performance in a Daytime Drama Series: Actress. Zucker was previously nominated in the Lead Actress category in 2014 and 2020 for her portrayal of Nicole Walker. She also received nominations in 2010 and 2013 but in the Supporting Actress category. Miller was previously nominated in the Lead Actress category in 2018 and 2019, respectively, for her portrayal of Abigail Deveraux DiMera. This is her third nomination overall. Stacy Haiduk received her second-ever Daytime Emmy nomination in the category of Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Daytime Drama Series: Actress for her portrayal as Kirsten DiMera on the soap. She was previously nominated in 2017 in the same category for her portrayal of Patty Williams on “The Young and the Restless.” Lindsay Arnold received her first-ever Daytime Emmy nomination in the category of Outstanding Younger Performer in a Daytime Drama Series. She joined the series in 2020 as Allie Horton, daughter of Samantha Brady DiMera (Alison Sweeney) and Lucas Horton (Bryan Dattilo). Despite appearing in multiple daytime dramas throughout his career, including “All My Children,” “As The World Turns” and “The Bold and the Beautiful,” this year marks the first time ever actor Michael Lowry is nominated for playing a role on a broadcast series. He’s up for Outstanding Guest Performance in a Daytime Drama Series for his portrayal of Dr. Clay Snyder. In 2017, he received a nomination in the category of Outstanding Lead Actor in a Digital Daytime Drama Series for his role as Jordan Bradford in “Tainted Dreams.” Note: The post NATAS to Update ‘Days of our Lives’ and ‘Beyond Salem’ Daytime Emmy Nomination Totals appeared first on the Soap Opera Network website.

With today’s nominations announcement for “The 49th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards” there were a couple of notable details pointed out by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, the organization behind the Daytime Emmy Awards. For the first time since 2012, there were African American nominees in the Outstanding Lead Performance in a Drama Series: Actor and Outstanding Lead Performance in a Drama Series: Actress categories, and for the first time since 2014, there were five nominees in the category of Outstanding Daytime Drama Series. James Reynolds is nominated for his performance as Abe Carver on “Days of our Lives.” He previously won the award in 2018 in the same category after four nominations. Meanwhile, Mishael Morgan is nominated for her performance as Amanda Sinclair on “The Young and the Restless.” She was previously nominated in 2018 and 2019 in the Supporting Actress category and for her previous role as Hilary Curtis on the daytime drama series. The last time there were two African American nominees in the lead acting categories was in 2012 when “All My Children” stars Darnell Williams and Debbi Morgan were up for their portrayals as Jesse Hubbard and Angela Hubbard, respectively. Anthony Geary (Luke Spencer, “General Hospital”) and Heather Tom (Katie Logan, “The Bold and the Beautiful”) won that year. Courtesy of CBS Joining perennial Outstanding Daytime Drama Series nominees this year is Peacock’s “Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem,” marking the first time since 2014 that more than four shows were nominated in the category. The five-episode series spinoff of “Days of our Lives” was recently renewed for a second season which debuts in July on the streaming service. Also nominated in the category this year are “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “Days of our Lives,” “General Hospital” and “The Young and the Restless.” This year marks the first time in history that a television series (“Days of our Lives”) will be vying against its spinoff (“Beyond Salem”) in the category of Outstanding Daytime Drama Series. “Port Charles,” a spinoff of “General Hospital,” was the last expansion series to be nominated in this category in 2003. “General Hospital” was not nominated, however. “As The World Turns” won the award that year. “The 49th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards” will be broadcast live on Friday, June 24 at 9:00 p.m. ET (delayed PT) on CBS from the Pasadena Civic Center in Los Angeles.

So, the Emmys officially notes that DAYS: Beyond Salem has three nominations but that is incorrect. Technically, it's four. For whatever reason, Casting is listed for DAYS and Beyond Salem as the same nomination since the casting team was the same. However, the writing and directing team for Beyond Salem was the same for DAYS as well and they got separate noms. Also, in some portions of the release they indicate the categories as Outstanding ___ in a Daytime Drama Series while in others they list it as Outstanding ___ in a Drama Series. In fact, they say Best Daytime Drama when noting the DOOL/Beyond Salem head-to-head nomination. I call that sloppiness.

NATAS/TV Academy changed the rules in December and booted out shows like The Bay, Studio City and others who now have to compete in Primetime. To be nominated for daytime drama shows had to fit the new, very specific guidelines made by both NATAS and the Television Academy which made it eligible.

All the daytime drama categories are now added: https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2022/05/nominations-announced-the-49th-annual-daytime-emmy-awards The Young and the Restless leads with 18 nominations while General Hospital ha 17 nominations. Days of our Lives has 11 and The Bold and the Beautiful has eight. Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem has three.
