All without Miller, Stafford and Mr. Octopus! BAM!

Was Y&R only soap unaffected by the 70+ minute press conference last Wednesday? I know B&B, GH and probably DAYS were cut or aired very late because of it.

GT>Stafford...

Omg u go Jean P. what Jean did last week was brilliant soap 101 and Shelley as well and they deserved to keep head writing for y and r. Tommy Garrett is probably flipping out with these ratings JFP ain't going anywhere she is the Teflon queen of soaps I swear

[Toups]

Yeah, looks like it affected DAYS/GH/B&B. GH would've definitely hit 3 million viewers.

[dragonflies]

B&B wasn't pre-empted here that day

[Jeff]

Thanks Toups, nice to see an increase for Sweeps for the top 3 soaps. I'm worried about Days.

dragonflies, I think it depends where you live? B&B was definitely preempted on the West Coast.

[Soapsuds]

GH demos are still dreadful and they can't even dent into B&B lead….lol….

Nice jump for Y&R in HH and Total Viewers

[edgeofnik]

B&B was pre-empted in 11% of country and Y&R in 7%, which makes the Wednesday ratings even more impressive. GH and DAYS suffered as well. One wonders how well those episoes would've done if not for that 70+ minute press conference. This week's ratings will probably be decent as cold weather started moving in.

[JONNYSBRO]

GH would have been over 3 million without the presumptions and it's still fabulous. It was a huge banner week and even up from last year robins return. The soap that needs help is days it's so flat and dull. It's time for a new head writer at the helm and also slow the show down. It doesn't allow the show to fix what's working and what's not. Lorraine Broderick should be named new head writer.

[slick jones]

I'm presuming you meant preemptions..[just a little pun]

[RavenWhitney]

Poor days, but the management is incompetent. They had no real plan to effectively draw viewers in before Ejami departure. How can three executive producers, two headwaiters and Lorraine Broderick not figure it out. Sad.
