What happened on YR and SFT to cause a huge jump in ratings?

Yet he never delivered it in any of his soaps.😂

James Longman from ABC news..😂

Nice to see ATWT back in the top 5. AW free falling. Actually I didn't need a hot hunk shirtless because the soaps were so good back in the day. My first gay awakening was Grant Aleksander on GL back in 1983. Seeing guys shirtless onscreen was just gravy considering how great the storylines were.

More like the next shirtless hunk.😂

Matt

Joan had too much or bad work done to her face. Linda had work done but she didn't overdue it. I can tell by 1985 that Linda's facial features had changed.

Lachlan Buchanan Is in Wellmania on Netflix.

How yummy.

What was going on at the time. June promos for CBS

Glad you enjoyed it!

French Open finals in line with last season French Open coverage featuring the Novak Djokovic-Casper Ruud men’s final averaged a 0.9 rating and 1.56 million viewers on NBC, down 3% in ratings but up 5% in viewership from Rafael Nadal against Ruud last year (0.95, 1.49M). Coverage featuring the Iga Świątek-Karolína Muchová women’s final averaged a 0.6 and 1.04 million, down just 6% and 1% respectively from Świątek’s win over American star Coco Gauff a year ago (0.7, 1.05M). NBC’s coverage of the semifinals — which was taped in most markets and competed with live coverage on Peacock and Tennis Channel — averaged a 0.38 (-30%) and 591,000 (-27%) on Thursday and a 0.46 (-8%) and 719,000 (-7%) on Friday.
