The show also lost viewers compared to the same week last year (-160,000 viewers) and was down from the comparable weeks in 2021 and 2022. In the key sales demo, “The View” tied “The Talk” among the Women 18-49 and Women 25-54 demographics, with both talk shows in a virtual tie among unrounded figures.

“The Young and the Restless” (3.169 million) lost viewers from one week earlier but showed an uptick from its comparable performance in 2020, adding +176,000 viewers. Similarly, “The Bold and the Beautiful” (2.782 million) was also down week-to-week but saw an increase of +194,000 viewers compared to the same week in 2020.

The numbers above are calculated using Live+Same Day viewing and DVR playback, defined as 3:00 a.m.-3:00 a.m. and are courtesy of Nielsen. Household ratings are the percentage of TV homes in the U.S. tuned into television, each of which represents 1,250,000 homes as of the 2023-2024 television season.

Note*: Officially, the demo ratings are sorted by the rounded figures released by Nielsen. “NBC News Daily” 2021 and 2020 figures are compared to the performance of “Days of our Lives,” which moved to Peacock exclusively beginning September 12, 2022.

Year-to-year comparisons (2023 vs. 2022) among Households and Total Viewers for most daytime broadcast shows will be unavailable for the foreseeable future due to figures being unavailable to Soap Opera Network during the comparable week last year.

Notable Preemptions/Schedule Changes:

Susan Haskell also won in 2009.

Looks like they had a typo. They had her listed, but for some reason, they put her down as being from The Young and the Restless. I guess because Jeanne Cooper won the previous year? Odd.

I have the official Emmy winners by category guide book that I got some years ago (without realizing it), and OLTL won 10 in Lead Actress, mostly by Erika Slezak as pointed out earlier:

1. Judith Light (1979-1980)
2. Judith Light (1980-1981)
3. Robin Strasser (1981-1982)
4. Erika Slezak (1983-1984)
5. Erika Slezak (1985-1986)
6. Erika Slezak (1991-1992)
7. Hillary B. Smith (1993-1994)
8. Erika Slezak (1994-1995)
9. Erika Slezak (1995-1996)
10. Erika Slezak (2004-2005)

Just got on and it's the #4 movie for the day.

Right. I mentioned that in the article. When I saw the placement on the service really early this AM it reminded me that the Top 10 list was coming out. Maybe next week it'll be in the Top 5 if it continues on this path. Not a bad spot to be in considering the movies ahead of it are putting up huge numbers themselves.

WHAT A TWIST! 

General Hospital replaces Eden McCoy as soap opera makes major change days after actress was at Daytime Emmys with cast

Actress Eden McCoy is breaking from General Hospital following her big win

GENERAL Hospital executives have recast another role on the long-running soap opera.

Actress Courtney Fulk will soon appear on General Hospital following the show's latest cast shakeup.

 

 

OMG! That article is a mess!

Quote

LATEST LINE-UP

As of last year, these are the actors and characters who are remaining in the series.

Genie Francis returned to General Hospital in 2022 to continue portraying the role of Laura Spencer.

Laura is known as one of Port Charles' most iconic residents and battled the Cassadines to become the city's new mayor, all while coping with her marriage to Luke Spencer and triumphing over allegations of murder.

The character was first introduced to the show in 1977.

Michael Knight plays the role of Martin Grey, a lawyer and the son of Gordon and Florence Grey.

He is also the brother of Cyrus Renault, who is a drug kingpin, and the step-brother of newly elected mayor Laura Collins.

Katelyn MacMullen plays the role of Willow Tait.

While she was seen on-air this season, fans are not too sure how long she will be around due to her recent diagnosis.

She was first introduced in 2018.

Stephen A Smith reprised his role as Brick on General Hospital on January 14, 2022,

Over the years, the ESPN sports reporter has appeared on 20 episodes.

ABC revealed in December 2021, that Constance Towers was returning to General Hospital to reprise her role as Helena Cassadine.

Prior to her 2022 return, she was last seen in February 2020, when Valentin discovered he wasn't a real Cassadine.

At the time, she appeared to him in a ghostly form.

On December 10, 2021, Parry Shen returned to the soap to play Brad Cooper, a former General Hospital employee.

Lydia Look took a brief break from her role on General Hospital at the end of 2021 but returned in 2022.

In true soap opera fashion, the show will be bringing back yet another character that fans thought was dead.

Like WTF? Did they not realize we are days away from 2024? Most of this "casting" crap cited is OLD AS HELL and not accurate now. Seriously? They even cited Soap Opera News but the article linked to Soaps She Knows. I mean, get your outlets straight much?

YIKES!

On the Monday, December 18 episode of ABC’s “General Hospital,” you might have heard, “The role of Josslyn Jacks is temporarily being played by Courtney Fulk.” Turns out your ears and eyes weren’t playing tricks on you, and that was, in fact, a different actress portraying the role of Carly (Laura Wright) and Jax’s daughter.

It’s understood that the show had to temporarily recast the role of Josslyn after regular portrayer Eden McCoy took a leave of absence last month in order to deal with personal matters, specifically the death of her mother, who passed away after a two-and-a-half-year battle with cancer.

In a post on Instagram on November 6, McCoy said, “It feels bizarre and almost performative to make a post so personal on the most impersonal space, but many people who knew my mother and also knew me didn’t know what was going on, and this is the easiest way to let everyone know. They also deserve to mourn and part with her in whatever way they may choose.” She added, “I’m not sure what to say other than she was, is, and will be the best thing I have ever known. She is responsible for every good part of me, and she took me with her when she left . If there is anything I can say to whoever is reading, it would be that absolutely nothing is promised. We really aren’t owed anything. Your life really can change in just a moment, so as my mom would say, do everything as if it your last time doing it.”

On Friday, McCoy won her first Daytime Emmy Award after three nominations. She took home the gold in the Outstanding Younger Performer in a Daytime Drama Series category for her role as Josslyn Jacks in what would become her final year of eligibility. She was previously nominated in the same category in 2019 and 2020.

McCoy told Soap Opera Network on the red carpet that the dress she wore was picked out by her late mother, stating, “My mom picked it out for me a million years ago when [the Emmys] was originally supposed to happen, so I figured I’d just wear it. I just wanted something really classic and timeless that felt like me, and I’m all about being simple. Simple 90s. So, we threw it on, and it still fits.”

At press time, it was unclear how long McCoy would be out for on-screen. However, Deadline reports that a spokesperson shared that McCoy is “on a brief sabbatical and will return at the beginning of the new year.”

Fulk is a relative newcomer to Hollywood, with her first credited role being the 2021 TV movie, “Killer Cheer Mom” which also starred Denise Richards (“The Bold and the Beautiful”) and Thomas Calabro (“Melrose Place”). Fulk followed that up in 2022 with another TV movie titled “Student Seduction.” 

Filling in as Josslyn on “General Hospital” marks Fulk’s first major role in a television series.

Wow! That's a lot of shows on one network, especially in the daytime. This is what I'd like to see in the future. Networks programming multiple shows throughout the day like they do primetime but on a five day schedule so we have more variety and don't have to commit too much of our lives to some shows.

For instance, it's one thing to watch a one hour show one time per week, it's another to watch five hours of one show five days in a row. It would be much easier to watch a half hour show five days a week, or a weekend binge that lasts for just 2.5 hours.

Just sayin'

Making its worldwide debut on Wednesday, December 13, “Holiday in the Vineyards” landed on the Netflix Global Top 10 list for the week of December 11-17, 2023, the streamer announced on Tuesday.

Starring Josh Swickard (“General Hospital”), Sol Rodriguez (“Grachi”), Eileen Davidson (“The Young and the Restless”) and Annika Noelle (“The Bold and the Beautiful”), the film made its debut on the chart in tenth place with 3.9 million views. In the United States alone, the movie placed eighth, beating out the second week of “Suicide Squad” on the platform and the debut of Netflix’s original film “Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget,” a sequel to the 2000 theatrical film “Chicken Run.”

Among the 12 countries in which “Holiday in the Vineyards” placed in the Top 10 were the Bahamas, Canada, Trinidad and Tobago, the United States, Greece, Malta, Romania, Sweden, Kenya, South Africa, Cyprus and Lebanon.

At a runtime of 1 hour and 47 minutes, Netflix reports that overall the film had 6.9 million hours viewed, which the service notes determine the “views” a film or TV show received as they divide the total hours viewed during the week by the total runtime available at the end of the week. Ultimately, views for a title are defined as the total hours viewed divided by the total runtime with values rounded to 100,000.

At press time, “Holiday in the Vineyards” ranked fourth in the United States among all films on Netflix for Tuesday, December 19, 2023.

In “Holiday in the Vineyards,” the film follows Carter Baldwin (Swickard), a playful, irresponsible, fun-loving, immature hedonist who is the heir to the Young Estate winery, which produces extremely affordable and very popular wines. Possessed of a discerning palate, a good nose and a whole lot of charm, he is dispatched by his dragon-like mother (Margo, played by Davidson) to nearby Los Santos where, incognito, he is to win the bid on a winery now up for sale. 

Posing as someone simply looking to move to the area, he is immediately intrigued by the beautiful Valentina Espinosa (Rodriguez), a real estate broker, as well as the recently widowed mother of two boys, who is working with the winery owner to keep the property from being acquired by the Young Estate. Carter soon becomes a victim of his own deceit, but with the help of a very wise hardware store owner, he learns some hard lessons about what it means to grow up. Omar Gooding (“Deadwood, Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac”), Carly Jibson (“The Guest Book,” “Atypical”), Gregory Zarian (“The Wonder Years”), Julian Rangal (“The Good Doctor”), and newcomer Carlos Solòrzano also appear in the film.

Alex Ranarivelo directed from a script written by Cecília Franco and David Zanardi. Ali Afshar, Christina Moore and Daniel Aspromonte are produced, with Charley DeBenedetti serving as executive producer.

Two years after joining the cast of “The Bold and the Beautiful,” actress Krista Allen is out as Dr. Taylor Hayes on the popular daytime drama series.

In an exclusive interview with Deadline, Allen noted that she found out in October that the show had decided not to extend her contract into a third year and that her last appearance on the show was the November 8 episode. 

Allen, who was first hired onto the show in October 2021, with her first appearance being December 10, 2021, told the outlet, “The craziest thing is right before I got dropped, I did the cast photo shoot, and then the next week they called and said, ‘we’re not going to keep your third year and thank you very much, you were wonderful and thank you, goodbye.” She added, “And I was like, what?”

“I think the hardest thing for me has been trying to stay quiet,” Allen noted to Deadline in her interview, published hours before the actress appeared in person on the red carpet at “The 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards” where she was nominated for her portrayal of Taylor in the category of Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Daytime Drama Series: Actress. The award was won posthumously by Sonya Eddy (Epiphany Johnson, “General Hospital”), who died last year following complications from surgery. 

In a tweet on X (formerly Twitter), Allen said of Eddy’s win, “All the joy I’m feeling that Sonya Eddy won this!! I would have loved to take home that Emmy, but if it wasn’t me, I prayed it would be Sonya!! She was an incredible human and an incredible actress. I’m certain she’s smiling that big beautiful smile and doing a happy dance up in heaven!”

As for Allen, who kept the news secret for some time about her departure, she exclaimed to Deadline, “I haven’t known what to say. And then when I got dropped, I was like, ‘oh, okay, is the show going to announce this?’ But they never did. And then on December 10, just recently, it was Taylor’s two-year anniversary [of being back on show], and I came back to Twitter for the first time since June to engage with fans again, just to say thank you because there were so many congratulations and people saying, ‘I can’t wait to see you back on screen’ and ‘when are you coming back?’”

Prior to breaking her silence through Deadline, Allen tweeted to her fans on Sunday, December 10, saying, “Hello #TeamTaylor I miss you as much as you miss me (frfr!) and I love you so BIG!!!!! You’ll never know how much I appreciate each and every one of you – or how much joy you give me – but, from the bottom of my heart … Thank you!” At the time, Allen made no reference to her departure. 

In another tweet post several hours prior to the release of the Deadline article, Allen shared, “I’m laying here smiling like a nerd! Thinking about tomorrow night and all the amazing talent and shows nominated in all the categories, wondering if they are all smiling like a nerd, too! I am just so freakin stoked to be a part of this magical event.  And, it’s the 50th anniversary! Sending out all the happy vibes!”

In an interview with PEOPLE, published on Monday, Allen points out, “The contract was dropped, which is so crazy. It’s like, make that make sense.” She added, “I didn’t know what to say, so I didn’t say anything. But yeah, there’s no better time than now.”

As for what’s next for Allen, she revealed she might write a book as her next venture, which might sound similar to her recent real-life experience. “It’s based on a true story… About a woman who took over a role on a soap opera and against all odds ended up winning over a fan base and getting nominated for an Emmy,” she stated. “And then there’s a lot of backstage drama going on, and she has to find her way.”

On writing a possible page-turner, Allen says, “I think I could write something really fun, really make it dramatic and really soapy.” She added, “I figure if I could just make a fun book and just make it into a real-life soap opera kind of thing because it kind of feels that way.”

On Instagram this weekend, and first revealed in the Deadline interview, Allen has been documenting her move across the country from Los Angeles to Atlanta, Georgia.

Of the move, she says, “It just seemed like the perfect time to go. It’s turning the page on this really interesting chapter, and now we’re going to the next one.”

On the same night “General Hospital” took home its 16th Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series, Nathan Varni, the ABC Current Series Executive in charge of production for the daytime drama series, hopes to bring back lapsed viewers.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Varni congratulated everyone at the series for their wins and thanked the fans for tuning in. However, it was his 2024  goal that was most noteworthy to followers.

In his post, Varni said, “Congrats to the hardest working crew, producers and talent, it’s a pleasure to be back with my #gh family. To our fans, thank you for sticking with us!” He added, “My 2024 goal is to win back our lapsed viewers, we have a lot of work to do but we’re all ready to work hard for YOU!”

Since it was published on Friday, the post has garnered over 131,000 views on X at press time. Comments were turned off on the post, but the hashtag “Why I Quit GH” was trending on Monday, with supposed former viewers of the show pointing out why they quit watching.

Some comments pointed out their dislike for current characters or their favorite character being killed off. Some also pointed out how certain characters weren’t getting enough airtime while others commanded too much screen time. Meanwhile, a post by X user @JBernardJones in response to Varni’s tweet was even more noteworthy in highlighting the show’s good parts and why they continue watching. 

“I have many complaints about the show, but there is much to enjoy. I don’t like every decision, but these people work extremely hard to bring us over 200 shows a year under tons of pressure,” said the poster. “In the grand scheme & in light of how we’ve only 4 soaps (w/ only 3 on network tv), I’m rooting FOR #GeneralHospital & the rest in this climate, not against them.”

According to Nielsen’s most recent ratings data, “General Hospital” is slightly down from its season average among Total Viewers (Live+Same Day). 

During the week of December 4-8, 2023, the most recent week in which ratings are available, the show averaged just 1.991 million viewers, down -6,000 viewers from one week prior and marking the fourth time this season the show has been below the two million viewer mark. The show was down -140,000 viewers over the comparable week in 2021, down -199,000 viewers over the comparable week in 2020 and down -49,000 viewers over the comparable week in 2019. 

Note: Numbers compared to the same week in 2022 were unavailable to Soap Opera Network at press time.

In January, ABC will air a primetime special to honor the 60th anniversary of “General Hospital,” featuring several of the show’s current and former stars talking about their time working in Port Charles. The special will air following the highly anticipated LIVE wedding between Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist, titled “The Golden Wedding,” on Thursday, January 4.

In addition to winning Outstanding Daytime Drama Series during Friday’s Daytime Emmys telecast, “General Hospital” also took home four acting awards for its stars, including a posthumous win for Sonya Eddy, and the Emmy for Outstanding Directing Team for a Daytime Drama Series. On Saturday afternoon, during the Creative Arts Ceremony, the show’s legendary casting director, Mark Teschner, took home his tenth Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Casting for a Daytime Drama Series. Overall, “General Hospital” won seven Daytime Emmy Awards this year.

As for Varni, in addition to overseeing “General Hospital,” he also oversees “The Conners,” “Will Trent,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Station 19” for the network.

AnnaLynne McCord is joining the “Days of our Lives” cast in the contract role of “Marin,” reports Deadline. She has signed a one-year deal with the series.

According to the outlet, McCord’s character is described as a “fascinating and complicated woman who is devastatingly beautiful, almost angelic in her outward appearance. The desire of many but her heart belongs to only one man who continues to push her away for her own good.”

Look for McCoord to make her Salem debut in the latter part of 2024.

Best known for her portrayal as Naomi Clark in The CW’s “90210,” an update to the beloved classic teen drama series “Beverly Hills, 90210” which ran on FOX, McCord has gone on to appear or star in such shows as “The Night Shift,” “Secrets and Lies,” “Let’s Get Physical” and more recently “Power Book III: Raising Kanan.” This year alone, she has starred in three films, including “The Weapon,” “Condition of Return” and “Dante’s Hotel.”

Picked up for two more years at Peacock in March, “Days of our Lives” celebrated its 58th anniversary last month, making it one of the longest-running scripted television shows still in production worldwide.

“Days of our Lives” is executive produced by Ken Corday. Janet Drucker is the co-executive producer, and Ron Carlivati is the show’s head writer.

Just in case it was mentioned, Bryton and Brytni did pose for some photos together but in terms of their relationship status I can't speak of it cause I don't know anything. Take what you want from their posing together.

I posted everything I could find about the Gold and Silver Circle in the first two posts of this page. 

I saw. Thank you so much for your research. Truly helpful information.

"Gold & Silver Circle Honor"?  What is this?  The Daytime Emmys, or the Kentucky Derby?

To me, it was like a Kennedy Center Honors-type thing. I asked Vernee Watson about it, and she explained it was new to NATAS.

That's Chandler? If so, I have to say, "yum!"

It could've been worse: they could've asked SMG to present Lucci with the award. 

And why would Francesca James have been there?

She was a "legacy presenter," according to the face sheet they provided. I don't know what that thing was all about but it and the gold & silver circle honor were new things added this year.

I am not addressing, responding to or commenting specifically on any particular topic that was brought up with a political slant, but I will say this:

DO NOT BRING POLITICS INTO THIS THREAD. There is a thread for all that (go find it yourself)

Regardless of their political leanings, this is not the place for it. I don't care if you like Biden or Trump. MAGA or YES, WE CAN! This is not the place for any B.S.

It needs not to be a primetime show. It'll die quickly that way.

Either it goes back to ABC in a traditional slot with 250 episodes or it goes to streaming ala Days of our Lives on Peacock. Anything else and it won't be worth it.

1. The SON Community would have a dark or color display option. 

2. Every topic would have a button to Jump to the last post. 

I can only come up with 2 suggestions so it must be pretty damned perfect. 

1. In the next update to the software, which is a major one by the designers, members will have the option of seeing a dark version of the site as their default setting, or it will automatically shift based on the timezone you are in, similar to Apple computers and Twitter, among other sites, change to a darker scheme at night.

2. You can already do that by clicking on the topic itself as long as you are logged in. Logged out, you are brought to the first post. Logged in, you are either brought to the last post or the first post you haven't read yet from the topic.

Check your settings.

Six months after it was originally scheduled to air, two Hollywood strikes and a last-minute scheduling switch, “The 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards” finally took place on Friday, December 15.

While viewership was down significantly from last year’s CBS telecast, relatively speaking, there wasn’t much that could be asked for from an awards show that typically took place in the early parts of the summer compared to this year’s chilly December. Additionally, viewers could stream the awards show via Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, numbers of which won’t be disclosed unless provided by CBS and/or Paramount.

In the key Adults 18-49 demographic, which is where CBS makes its money, the awards show kept itself mostly on par with previous performances, more specifically since the show began airing almost exclusively on the network in 2020.

According to the Programming Insider website, Friday’s broadcast averaged 2.03 million viewers and a 0.14 rating in Adults 18-49. Among Adults 25-54, the two-hour show averaged a 0.19 rating. Meanwhile, among Adults 18-34, the show averaged a 0.09 demo rating. 

Viewership peaked in the 9:00 p.m. half-hour with 2.12 million viewers tuned in, followed by the 10:00 p.m. half-hour at 2.08 million viewers. The first hour rated the best among Adults 18-49 (0.16 rating) and Adults 25-54 (0.20 rating).

Compared to last year’s telecast, the awards show was down -770,000 viewers and slightly down among Adults 18-49 when it did a 0.2 rating in the demo.

CBS aired “The National Christmas Tree Lighting” as a lead-in this year, which averaged just 2.13 million viewers and a 0.16 rating among Adults 18-49, leaving the Daytime Emmys not much to work with. That said, as shown by a breakdown provided during the 2021 telecast of “The 48th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards,” viewers still managed to tune into the awards show even after seven days. That year’s broadcast saw an uptick of nearly +300,000 viewers within seven days of its original airing.

For the night, CBS averaged 2.07 million viewers and a 0.15 rating in Adults 18-49, placing the network fourth among the five broadcast networks. ABC topped the night with a 2.95 million viewer average, led by an original airing of “Shark Tank” (3.14 million), followed by NBC, which averaged 2.52 million viewers thanks to its rebroadcast of “Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors” (2.73 million). FOX ranked third with its airing of “WWE Friday Night Smackdown” (2.15 million viewers). The CW aired “The 91st Annual Hollywood Christmas Parade,” which averaged a mere 550,000 viewers and a 0.06 rating in Adults 18-49 to place the network in fifth place.

Since 2022, the Daytime Emmy Awards have taken place on Friday nights from 9:00-11:00 p.m. In 2020 and 2021, the awards show aired on Friday nights from 8:00-10:00 p.m., a significant difference in scheduling when considering lead-ins.

What follows is a breakdown of how the Daytime Emmys has performed on CBS in recent years:

“The 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards” (CBS)
