During the week of May 23-27, 2022, “The View” (2.420 million), “GMA3: What You Need to Know” (1.680 million) and “The Talk” (1.619 million) experienced the strongest week-to-week gains with the ABC chatfest up +227,000 week-to-week and up +171,000 viewers compared to the same week last year. The second half-hour of “Let’s Make a Deal” (2.775 million) also saw week-to-week gains, +4,000 viewers compared to one week earlier. The show was down a mere -3,000 viewers versus its performance during the same week last year, however.

“The Bold and the Beautiful” (3.097 million) and “The Young and the Restless” (3.473 million) continue seeing massive year-to-year increases, up +357,000 and +260,000, respectively, compared to the same week last year. In fact, compared to their fifth consecutive week of classic episodes (reruns) in 2020, both soaps are seeing an increase of up to 1.5 million viewers each.

“General Hospital” (2.088 million) saw a big drop in viewers week-to-week, and a rare year-to-year decline, due to airing a rerun on Wednesday, May 25 in place of an original as a result of ongoing ABC News coverage from Uvalde, Texas. The rerun was included in the show’s weekly average.

With several preemptions impacting its airing schedule due to ongoing NBC News coverage from Uvalde, Texas, “Days of our Lives” (1.593 million) saw the biggest week-to-week drop of any daytime broadcast series, down -164,000 viewers, and fell behind both “GMA3: What You Need to Know” and “The Talk” in Total Viewers.

What follows is a breakdown of how the daytime broadcast shows performed during the week of May 23-27, 2022 in Women 18-49 rating, Women 25-54 rating, Households and Total Viewers, including a look at their comparable performance in 2021 and 2020, respectively. A closer look at the daytime soaps, including their daily performance in the demos, will be posted soon.

Notes: Viewing levels were hitting multi-year highs in 2020 during the initial shutdown of the country due to COVID-19. “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Young and the Restless” began their months-long era of classic episodes which continued through late July 2020 and early August 2020, respectively. Comparable 2020 figures for “General Hospital” will return in August as the show aired reruns for most of the summer that year and was not rated (NR) by Nielsen.

Comparable 2020 figures for “GMA3: What Need to Know” are based on the performance of “Pandemic: What You Need to Know.” The current iteration was rebranded effective June 2020.

      The Politics Thread

      I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.

      That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April.

      As The World Turns Discussion Thread

      By vetsoapfan · Posted

      I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

      Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

      Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return

      DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.

      Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994.
