Gosh, should've remembered that one.  They buried Pope Paul VI in August and then had to bury Pope John Paul about 33 days later!

The Edge of Night is on fire!  Beating Days of our Lives, The Doctors and Love of Life for the week October 9-13!  Imagine if they had the number of affiliates the other shows had!

To think it ended up that simple after all the speculation about breakouts and repeats, haha. So good to finally know!

@JAS0N47 Thank you for the ratings in this thread and in the 1980s thread. It's a great look back at daytime history.

You're welcome!  I mainly wanted the "Days" ratings, but it's nice to also be able to provide the other soap ratings as well, and the extra unexpected benefit is also getting all of the full preemption data for all of the soaps!

I didn't even remember when typing it today that you were on the lookout for a YR preemption at some point during this time in 1978. So the mystery is finally solved!

I wonder if this is the last time GL was ever No. 1  (since we now know the much trumpeted "GL hits No. 1 in the Nielsens!" of August 1984 was an error this whole time (they were merely No. 1 in their timeslot, beating GH).
