ARTICLE: CBS Set For Record-Breaking 17th Consecutive Broadcast Season Win Led By ‘Tracker,’ ‘Matlock’ & ’60 Minutes’
That's what happens when you are successful. What others see as a hit show, particularly if it were on another network, another sees as a burden on their network due to other shows performing better. See Blue Bloods: 14 seasons, ranks sixth for the season, yet still canceled. If we could start programming Saturdays again (with advertisers willing to pay good rates), we might see shows staying on longer. Sadly, that's not the case, and space is limited, as shown by CBS canceling "The Equalizer" earlier today.

LATEST RATINGS: April 21-25, 2025
As another point of reference: THE VIEW Tue, 4/22 0.22 0.32 60 Wed, 4/23 0.20 0.28 60 Thu, 4/24 0.24 0.34 60 Fri, 4/25 0.17 0.26 60 Summary: 0.21 0.30 240 VIEW-ABC Mon, 4/21 R 0.14 0.22 60 So, for GMA3, its worst days were Tuesday and Friday, while for GH, its worst days were Wednesday through Friday. Again, there were no preemptions, interruptions or notes provided by Nielsen that would explain these terrible demos for either show. Similarly, as noted above, The View did below average on Friday, but performed adequately the rest of the week, with Thursday performing really well for the show. At the same time, B&B/Y&R did better than they have during the bulk of the 2024-2025 television season during the same week, with B&B and Y&R seeing some really good numbers on Wednesday and Friday in particular. What is it about CBS that they had no problems with retention, while ABC essentially tanked? Yes, I did see the BTG 0.16 Women 18-49 rating on Thursday, which was also the lowest day for B&B (0.22 rating). Not sure what happened there, but it doesn't matter since both picked up their numbers on Friday.

Y&R: Actress leaving
I knew most of this, and I stand by what I said. This story is stupid. If she could run it from Genoa City, there is no reason she needs to be in Italy just because she lost two employees who left their jobs to work with their boyfriends, which in itself is stupid.

ARTICLE: ‘General Hospital’ Generates Creative Show-Within-A-Show Promotional Campaign In Anticipation Of Nurses Ball Return
At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if it is Vanessa Marcil. That said, that's assuming someone "so unexpected" is not already on screen. Not sure if the tease was casting-related whatsoever, since the tease was more about performers at the ball.

Y&R: Actress leaving
That is such a stupid way to exit the character, even if temporarily, IMO. Why would you have Summer fly to Italy to find replacements for Chelsea and Sally, both of whom live in Genoa City? Couldn't she find someone else in Genoa City? I mean, Claire could always infiltrate yet another part of Summer's life. Lazy.

ARTICLE: ‘General Hospital’ Generates Creative Show-Within-A-Show Promotional Campaign In Anticipation Of Nurses Ball Return
Using a creative show-within-a-show promotional approach, “General Hospital” is preparing for the imminent return of the Nurses Ball with Mistress of Ceremonies Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) giving the fictional Port Charles affiliate station WXPC a wide-ranging interview detailing what the denizens can expect during this year’s event. “The General Hospital Nurses Ball is back. After sitting out 2024, Port Charles’ longest-running charity event returns next month with plans to be bigger and better than ever,” says George Pennacchio, the ABC7 Los Angeles entertainment reporter appearing as a version of himself who is a news anchor for WXPC, introducing a video segment released on Wednesday, April 30 across the daytime drama’s social media channels. George Pennacchio ABC “Our own Robert Nunez got the scoop from the mistress of ceremonies herself, Lucy Coe,” continued Pennacchio, introducing the interview with Coe, conducted by the referenced Robert Nunez, who in real life is the director of communications at Disney General Entertainment Content (formerly the Disney/ABC Television Group). “It’s the event of the season, of the century, and also everybody gets involved for such a good cause. Money, HIV, AIDS research, and care. We’ll be calling you for some bucks, baby,” says Lucy, talking about the event’s return. With Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) underwriting the Nurses Ball in its entirety through his company, SR Worldwide, Lucy notes she has big plans that will see individuals who have rarely, if ever, performed on stage. Some of the people she highlighted include returning favorites Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson) and the Magic Milos, as well as “Somebody that is so unexpected that it just takes your breath away. And I have some big plans. So just wait.” “General Hospital” ABC With the event set to kick off on Tuesday, May 20, Lucy shares, “May is perfect. That means the people can perhaps wear skimpier gowns because it’ll be warm.” Speaking of gowns, she reveals to Nunez that she’ll have to “kill [him] if I tell you this secret. These gowns are top secret. No one sees them till the day, so shut your mouth. Watch the full segment below.

ARTICLE: ‘The Bold And the Beautiful’ Displays Week-To-Week & Year-Over-Year Growth Among Key Demos – RATINGS
As Toups prepares his post, I'll just say what is freaking me out. GH did a 0.11 in Women 18-49 and a 0.23 in Women 25-54 on Friday, April 25, marking a series low in the former category. This is without the show having any noted preemptions or interruptions, and not being a repeat!

ARTICLE: Allison Lanier Announces Exit From ‘The Young And The Restless’
After a three-year run as Summer Newman on “The Young and the Restless,” actress Allison Lanier is exiting the role as of the Friday, May 2 episode, she announced on X (formerly Twitter). “I’ve loved the journey and learned so much but it’s time to grow in a different direction,” she wrote in a post, adding, “Very grateful for all of the ‘Y&R’ fans who have supported me.” Before her announcement on Wednesday, Lanier’s most recent post on the social media platform was a repost from last November by the show’s official handle (@YRInsider) which saw her and co-star Conner Floyd (Phillip “Chance” Chancellor IV) visiting the set of KCAL News, a non-network affiliated Los Angeles station owned by Paramount Global, parent of CBS, to promote the Chips4Kids Toy Drive. In a bit of irony, as the social media craze continues with AI-generated doll size designs of fan favorite characters, Floyd re-posted an image earlier this month on his Instagram story timeline, first posted by user @so_soaps_baby, indicating that the pairing of Chance and Summer were officially done, captioning the post “RIP Summance,” the couple name for the characters. @connergfloyd/Instagram Reportedly, the show has no immediate plans to recast the role of Summer Newman as the character will be rested for the time being. Lanier made her on-screen debut as Summer Newman on the May 17, 2022 episode, formally replacing Hunter King in the role. During her run on the show, Summer returned to Genoa City as the wife of Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) before the couple later broke up. Later, Summer began a relationship with Chance Chancellor. In 2024, Lanier received her first-ever Daytime Emmy Award nomination for her portrayal of Summer Newman in the category of Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Daytime Drama Series: Actress. Outside of “The Young and the Restless,” Lanier’s other acting credits include a starring role in the series “Red Oaks” and the films “It Happened in L.A.,” an official selection screened at the Sundance Film Festival in 2017, “Fish Bones” and “Mia.” Note: The post Allison Lanier Announces Exit From ‘The Young And The Restless’ appeared first on the Soap Opera Network website.

ARTICLE: ‘The Bold And the Beautiful’ Displays Week-To-Week & Year-Over-Year Growth Among Key Demos – RATINGS
There was no preemption, just a 7-minute interruption, and it was a VERY good day for the show ratings-wise. That's why I'm so confused. Forgot to add. Initially, ratings are based on the time slot before they are later corrected and factor in the show that aired in said time slot, hence the 7-minute interruption for GH on Monday, April 21, with the show airing just 53 minutes of content. So, based on Nielsen's interpretation, the numbers are exclusive to people tuning into GH and seeing GH on their screens.

The dailies are just BAD. Series low BAD. The weekly average was piss poor, but was lifted up by Monday, April 21 and Monday alone, despite airing just 53 minutes of content (apparently there was a 7 minute interruption). I should note that Tuesday, April 22 was within the show's usual range, albeit on the lower side, but the rest of the week? OMG! Even worse than The Talk BAD! I'm not joking here. Someone, anyone, has to be FIRED for the Wednesday through Friday episodes. NO excuse!
