Ratings From the 90's

Days had a very specific vibe happening at that time and AW was a completely different type of show. Had AW been able to come up with a hot story or couple, they might have attracted some Days viewers. Also, by that time Days had been outrating AW for years so viewers were conditioned to switching off.

I wonder what would have happened if NBC had fallen through on one of those proposed DAYS spin-offs when the show was red hot during that time and scheduled it right after DAYS and bumping AW to the slot Sunset Beach eventually got.

Y&R this week: Nina has a miscarriage.

B&B this week: Ridge and Brooke get married. We saw this episode during the classics, and it had been rebroadcast twice before.

Fall 1994 B&B rebounds from the lull it was in since the Catalina Island crossover ended. All of Bradley's storylines are going to culminate during the first half of 1995.

Most holidays like Labor Day and Thanksgiving Day have a lot of local preemptions, so networks usually list those episodes as "breakouts", which don't count toward the weekly ratings average, since they don't air on the usual (in GH's case, 222) amount of affiliates. For some reason, ABC didn't list the smaller than usual affiliates for the Thanksgiving episode as a breakout, so that brought down the weekly number average for everything (# of affiliates, rating, etc). 

College Football aired on ABC on Thursday from 11AM-248PM Eastern, followed by a 12-minute Loving. So, best guess is there were some affiliates who usually aired GH at an earlier time, and some that aired a local parade or something in GH's place, and those were the ones who preempted GH that day.

Y&R: Rex death. Phyllis crashes Rex's memorial. Michelle Stafford chose one of her scenes from the Rex memorial episodes as part of the Y&R 50th anniversary memorable moments clip set.

 

Y&R this week: Phyllis attempts to murder Christine. We saw this episode during the classics.

    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.    
    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
