And There is this for Days.

Days numbers pale in comparison to GHs. Too bad that GH will more than likely drop next week since there is no other grabbing storyline besides Robin's.

[SouthOfSoap]

Did GH fall as far as DAYS did? DAYS lost more than 50% of their W18-49 under Higley and MarDar. Tomsell have managed to get half of that back - it's a herculean achievement.

[JONNYSBRO]

OMG GH that is completely utterly amazing. 880,000 in the demos and almost 3.5 million these are insane ratings. Again how rich will frank get lol

Hi Toups! Thank You for posting the ratings each week!

Sounds like another record breaking week for GH !!!! 3.45 viewers for one day!

Is it possible to post ratings for The VIew if you have access to them for the past week?! Their has been such

Negative press for them the last couple months and I was wondering since they have not been mentioned recently in the press leases recently with The Chew and GH, have they fallen that far?

For the past several years, they were the golden child of the network and I am wondering if TC and GH are now beating them?

[Toups]

Wow, I can't believe I was wrong. Not only did GH surpass 800,000, they almost reached 900,000. And they beat Y&R in the rating? Did not expect that! Nice combination of Robin/Patrick, Anna/Faison, and the winter storm. Robin's return has been one of the more long-term successful stories in a long time. It was a nice slow build up to a huge wedding climax - just the ways soaps are suppose to be.

[JONNYSBRO]

Oh hells yes

[JONNYSBRO]

[OldGHFan]

Way to go GH! Unfortunately, I think ratings are going to go back down. We're back to the boring characters and boring storylines.

[JONNYSBRO]

Even if the numbers go back down its expected. GH has had a banner 2013 since the 50th anniversary. Only late spring and early summer show was tanking down.

[sheilaforever]

B&B's Friday rating: 3.0???

And 4.4 million viewers. Is this correct?

[Soapsuds]

I was wondering what happened that day for the nice jump.
