More than five years since the final print editions of ABC Soaps In Depth and CBS Soaps In Depth were displayed at grocery stores and supermarkets across the county, effective today, Thursday, May 29, the online-only iteration of the outlet is redirecting visitors to the Soap Opera Digest website, officially marking the end of Soaps In Depth as a standalone brand. “You’ll still get all the soap coverage you love – just in a new home. Same stories, same writers!” read a pop-up message on the newly overhauled Soap Opera Digest website, also launched on May 29. The first inkling that change was afoot began in mid-to-late April when eagle-eyed readers of the Soaps In Depth website noticed a significant drop in the outlet’s posting frequency, primarily limited to spoiler posts for “General Hospital” with sprinkles of “The Young and the Restless” and “The Bold and the Beautiful.” As for news content, the last published article at the Soaps In Depth website was an April 30, 2025 report on the exit of Allison Lanier as Summer Newman on “The Young and the Restless.” As a result of the change, Chris Eades, who had run the Soaps In Depth website since 2015 as a senior editor, has formally joined the staff of the Soap Opera Digest website, led by executive editor Mara Levinsky. McClatchy Media Company The merging of the Soaps In Depth website with the Soap Opera Digest website comes just a few months after a360media, parent of Us Weekly, In Touch Weekly, Woman’s World, and the soap opera brands, among others, completed its merger with McClatchy, a legacy newspaper publishing company, to form McClatchy Media Company. The fully integrated entity now reaches a collective audience of more than 100 million unique visitors a month, while “fusing a local news chain that has won more than 50 Pulitzer Prizes with a line of lifestyle and entertainment magazines,” a press release indicated. History of Soaps In Depth Launched in 1997 with three distinct network print editions tailored to the daytime dramas airing on broadcast television at the time, including NBC Soaps In Depth, the Soaps In Depth brand was a direct competitor of the then-print edition of Soap Opera Digest, which launched in 1975. On April 24, 2020, it was announced that Soaps In Depth would cease as a print publication after a 23-year run. The news came during the height of the Covid pandemic, which saw all television and film work halted across the world, including production on “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “Days of our Lives, “General Hospital” and “The Young and the Restless.” The final issue of CBS Soaps In Depth was displayed from April 27-May 11, 2020, while the final ABC Soaps In Depth issue was displayed from May 4-18, 2020. By January 2022, a360media acquired the U.S. publishing division of Bauer Media Group, which included Woman’s World, First for Women and the Soaps In Depth brand, among others. As a result, the long-running soap brands (Soaps In Depth and Soap Opera Digest) officially became part of the same corporate umbrella. In October 2023, it was announced that Soap Opera Digest would cease as a print magazine after a 48-year run as part of a broader shift in the magazine publishing business, and with its parent company at the time noting that the outlet would place “more resources to digital to better accommodate its audience.” The final print issue of Soap Opera Digest was dated November 13, 2023. At press time, content published to the Soaps In Depth website had not been integrated into the Soap Opera Digest website, leaving readers to ponder which mechanisms to use for viewing archives of the outlet’s content. Also at press time, the Soaps In Depth X (formerly Twitter) account was sharing posts published on the Soap Opera Digest website, which included interviews with “General Hospital” star Dominic Zamprogna (Dante Falconeri) and “The Young and the Restless” star Susan Walters (Diane Jenkins), among other fresh articles published to the redesigned website. It’s unclear if the Soaps In Depth social channels will be retained, and, if so, for how long. Meanwhile, the outlet’s Instagram account has not been updated since May 21.

While Neighbours should have done better on Prime Video (nee Freevee), it had two things going against it, IMO. Failure by the publicity team in garnering interest in the U.S. market. Lazy. Lazy. Lazy. Amazon shelling out $1 billion to gain creative control of the James Bond IP at a time when the Neighbours contract was due for renewal. That's a lot of money and sacrifices were made as a result.

Multiple seasons of the show are available to watch On Demand on YouTube. You can watch by season via the handy website https://boldandbeautifulepisodes.com/

A few contract renewals ago, CBS required originals for B&B and Y&R on certain major holidays instead of airing repeats. This includes Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day, among other major holidays not infused with sports coverage. It's unclear why the network is airing a repeat of BTG on Monday. I'm looking into it.

Currently celebrating its 60th anniversary season, “Days of our Lives” has been a standout performer on Peacock for several years, consistently appearing on the streaming service’s daily top 10 most watched TV shows list even before becoming exclusive to the platform in September 2022. In a report released last month, Luminate, a data and insights company that measures and tracks engagement and consumption across music, film and television, highlighted the long-running soap opera as an unlikely success story amid a competitive landscape while also breaking down its overall performance throughout calendar year 2024. According to the service, Season 59 (169 episodes) of “Days of our Lives” ranked as the second most watched original program on Peacock with 3.1 billion minutes watched, while Season 60 (92 episodes) ranked fourth with 2.4 billion minutes. Only reality dating show “Love Island USA” did better on the streamer with 5.6 billion minutes watched during its 37-episode sixth season. Closing out Peacock’s top five originals list, the 10-episode first season of political thriller “The Day of the Jackal” ranked third with 2.7 billion minutes watched while the 10-episode first season of the historical drama “Those About to Die” and the 12-episode second season of reality competition series “The Traitors” tied for fifth, each with 1.4 billion minutes. The rest of the top 10 most watched original shows on Peacock were slightly above or below a billion minutes watched, led by “Bel-Air,” a drama series iteration based on the iconic comedy “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” which had 1.1 billion minutes watched for its 10-episode third season, ranking seventh on the streamer’s originals chart. Most Watched Peacock Original TV Series in 2024 Rank / Show Minutes Watched (In Billions) Season Episodes 1. Love Island USA 5,600 6 37 2. Days of our Lives 3,100 59 169 (in 2024) 3. The Day of the Jackal 2,700 1 10 4. Days of our Lives 2,400 60 92 (in 2024) 5. Those About to Die 1,400 1 10 — The Traitors 1,400 2 12 7. Bel-Air 1,100 3 10 8. The Tattooist of Auschwitz 1,000 1 6 9. Ted 900 1 7 — Apples Never Fall 900 1 7 Source: Luminate Streaming Viewership (M) December 29, 2023 – January 2, 2025 – Excludes Sports and WWE Content Noting that each new season of “Days of our Lives” runs from August to August, the service said that Season 60 amassed 3.8 billion minutes watched between August 26, 2024 and March 30, 2025, citing the 156 episodes released during the reporting period. Further, Season 60 remained on the overall top 50 streaming original TV shows chart for 31 out of the 32 weeks, peaking at No. 17. In its 2024 year-end film & TV report, Luminate revealed that the first season of the Disney+ original series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” had 3.070 billion minutes watched, while season one of “The Acolyte,” also on Disney+, had 2.673 billion minutes watched. Meanwhile, Season 60 of the long-running soap opera had more minutes watched since release than that of such high profile shows as “Severance” on Apple TV+ (Season 2), “A Man on the Inside” on Netflix, “Only Murders in the Building” on Hulu/Hulu on Disney+ (Season 4), “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” on Prime Video (Season 2) and “The Pitt” on Max (soon to be re-branded back to HBO Max). In 2023, Variety reported “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” was estimated to have cost somewhere between $12 million and $15 million per episode, while sources tell Soap Opera Network that a complete season of “Days of our Lives” (north of 250 episodes) is estimated to cost somewhere between $20 million and $30 million, down a bit in cost from when the show was still airing on NBC. Meanwhile, a full season of “General Hospital” on ABC is estimated to cost between $40 and $45 million. Factoring in the eight most popular streaming services tracked by Luminate and each platform’s share of consumption among U.S. original content viewing time, the performance of “Days of our Lives” is even more noteworthy for Peacock considering Netflix leads all streamers with a 63.5% share, followed by Prime Video in second with 8.5%, Paramount+ in third with 7.8%, Apple TV+ in fourth with 5.3%, and Hulu rounding out the top five with 5.1%. Disney+ ranked sixth with a 4.4% share, followed by Peacock in seventh with 3.1% and Max in eighth place at a mere 1.5%. Falling into the “Other” category at a combined 0.8% were AMC+ (0.4%), Tubi (0.3%) and Discovery+ (0.1%). Although the performance of “Days of our Lives” can’t be viewed as a pure apples-to-apples comparison, considering most other streaming originals consist of eight to 13 episodes per season, Luminate points out that the show is making a case for itself from a higher-volume approach while maintaining a “steady daily viewership across hundreds of modestly budgeted episodes,” making it a solid bet for Peacock among a foray of more than 400 streaming originals that are currently in various stages of production and awaiting premiere dates this year alone across all platforms, 14 of which are at Peacock. In April, Comcast, parent of NBCUniversal, which includes Peacock under its umbrella, reported the streamer had 41 million paid subscribers through Q1 2025. The service gained 5 million additional subscribers from Q4 2024 following the addition of Charter Communications subscribers, and was also up from Q3 2024. Note: Unlike the ratings data regularly published here at Soap Opera Network, which are generally based on Live+Same Day figures compiled by Nielsen, total minutes watched is the standard for tracking the overall performance of streaming content with Nielsen and Luminate being just two of several providers utilized by streamers in monitoring the viewing habits of subscribers. Streaming viewership for non-originals on Peacock was unavailable at press time. This includes shows like “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” and the recently renewed One Chicago franchise (“Chicago Med,” “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago P.D.”).

Although “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Young and the Restless” will air original episodes as per usual on Memorial Day (Monday, May 26), “Beyond the Gates” will instead air a repeat, the show’s first. At press time, details on which of the 59 episodes aired thus far that will be broadcast on the holiday was unknown. Of course, the decision to air an encore at all comes just weeks after the show recovered from UEFA Champions League preemptions and breaking news coverage on Pope Leo XIV‘s ascension. From a ratings perspective, during the week of May 12-16, 2025, the most recent week in which daytime broadcast ratings are available and the first full week without preemptions, interruptions or breakouts, “Beyond the Gates” hit a multi-week high among Women 18-49 (0.21 rating) and Women 25-54 (0.32 rating), and a six-week high among Total Viewers (1.572 million), according to Live+Same Day figures released by Nielsen. Renewed for a second season, the daytime drama series ranks a solid No. 1 opposite time slot competitor “General Hospital” among Women 25-54, leading the long-running series by 7% in the key sales demographic. Additionally, the show is an improvement over former time slot occupant “The Talk,” gaining +48% among Total Viewers according to Most Current and Season-to-Date ratings compared to the same period last season. Check out a promo of what to expect next week on “Beyond the Gates” below.

Only demos. The two are tied in Households with a 1.1 rating while GH beat BTG in Total Viewers, as per usual.

It's a repeat. Not sure of the episode # just yet.

My sister, who couldn't care less about soaps and doesn't consider what I do a real job (my interpretation, not necessarily her exact words), recently told me how much she's loving Beyond the Gates and is watching a plethora of shows on Paramount+, including Yellowjackets, as a result.

Good reveal. I agree.

During the week of May 12-16, 2025 saw “The Bold and the Beautiful” (2.477 million), “TODAY 3rd Hour” (1.673 million) and “Beyond the Gates” (1.572 million) were the only shows to see week-to-week improvement among Total Viewers, while the two half hours of “The Price is Right” (3.361 million / 3.841 million) saw the largest week-to-week gain among Women 18-49 (0.38 rating; up +0.04 / 0.40 rating; up +0.05).

Not my guy. Just thought he was cute. These photos are not flattering, especially the facial expressions.

It was actually a good thing because the episode averaged just 1.384 million viewers. Without the episode included, the show averaged 1.538 million viewers, gaining +50,000 viewers compared to the previous week.

CBS excluded the episode due to low clearance.

During the week of May 5-9, 2025, the three major broadcast networks provided live and breaking news coverage of the papal conclave on Wednesday, May 7 as the cardinals processed into the Sistine Chapel, which continued on Thursday, May 8 with the election of Cardinal Robert Prevost as the new pope, Leo XIV. As a result, except for “General Hospital” (1.850 million), the rest of the daytime broadcast shows were either broken out or preempted in some capacity on both days. Similarly, CBS‘ continued coverage of UEFA Champions League Soccer games on Tuesday, May 6 and Wednesday, May 7 saw the network’s entire daytime lineup once again broken out or preempted as they were one week earlier, primarily in the Mountain and Pacific time zones, while “Beyond the Gates” (1.538 million) saw a full preemption on both days. Despite all the interruptions, several daytime broadcast shows were up week-to-week across the board, led by gains for both half hours of “The Price is Right” (3.407 million / 3.924 million) among Total Viewers (+60,000 and +107,000, respectively), Women 18-49 (0.34 rating / 0.35 rating; +0.05 and +0.03, respectively) and Women 25-54 (0.52 rating / 0.55 rating; +0.07 and +0.05, respectively). “TODAY with Hoda & Jenna” (1.279 million) saw the biggest week-to-week gain overall among Total Viewers, up +140,000, tying “GMA3: What You Need to Know” (1.279 million) in the category. The fourth hour of the “TODAY” brand was flat or virtually on par with its week ago performance in both Women 18-49 (0.17 rating; same) and Women 25-54 (0.27 rating; down -0.01). Among soaps, “General Hospital” saw the most significant week-to-week viewership gain, up +80,000, while “The Young and the Restless” (2.911 million) added +67,000 viewers. “The Bold and the Beautiful” was the only soap opera to lose viewers, down -30,000, compared to the show’s performance one week earlier. Demographically, “General Hospital” was flat or virtually on par with its week ago performance in both Women 18-49 (0.19 rating; down -0.01) and Women 25-54 (0.30 rating; same).

May is the time of year when the broadcast networks do last-minute renewals, pickups, and/or cancellations for their primetime shows. That's why there is so much news relating to "a TV show bloodbath" right now. That said, April is typically when the networks make their cancellation announcements for daytime shows, as has been the case for Guiding Light, As The World Turns, All My Children, One Life to Live and, more recently, The Talk. This is the time when the networks communicate their scheduling plans with their local affiliates, as these types of shows air five days a week, and local ads are much more important to stations since they also have sell space for their own programming and the syndicated shows they license. My point of bringing it up is to say that CBS not saying anything in April was likely an indication leaning toward renewal, but with everything going on with primetime and Paramount, they probably thought May made a good PR statement for them. I wouldn't have been surprised if the network had waited until July for TCAs, but since January's event was canceled, and only because Beyond the Gates premiered so late. Otherwise, July (or the summer period) is not known for renewal announcements for daytime shows.

While I have no direct intel when it comes to an ABC revival, I'd think it would be the next option should ABC (finally) decide to cancel GMA3 due to piss poor ratings. Of course, that decision won't come until the latest reboot is attempted, either with more profile hosts or another retooling of sorts.

Spoke with my contacts at Lifetime. As of now, there is nothing to share in terms of updates.
