With the Nielsen ratings eventually expected to be posted for the 1950s-Present, I thought it would be a good time to compile the best list I could of every series ever aired Mondays-Fridays between 10AM-6PM on ABC, CBS and NBC. Various sources were checked, and hopefully all series were found. If you find any errors or omissions, please let me know! 

HISTORY OF NETWORK DAYTIME TV SERIES (SERIES AIRED MONDAY-FRIDAY BETWEEN 10AM-6PM):

ABC...166 series
CBS...160 series
NBC...257 series

TOTAL...583 series

Notes: Series comprised of repeats of primetime shows are listed with an X. Those series with multiple date runs are listed at the end of their line.

Fairmeadows USA NBC 1951-52 but you may have excluded it intentionally as it began on Sunday afternoons & then moved to M-F daily but as part of the Kate Smith Hour. I checked against a list of soaps I have & was left with only the 3 on Dumont & this. So, probably 100% accuracy for US daytime soaps.

I hadn't heard of that happening, so I didn't intentionally exclude it, but checking online, I found this: "The sponsor of Fairmeadows, USA announced in March 1952 that it was cancelling the show, but it reappeared in September 1952 as a daily 15-minute segment titled “The House in the Garden” on The Kate Smith Hour."

So, being as I compiled a list of Nielsen-rated series, since this was a part of The Kate Smith Hour, it wouldn't make my list anyway. Thanks for comparing your soaps list to confirm none of those were missing!

UPDATE: You did remind me, however, that I forgot to put in the summer breaks of The Garry Moore Show and The Kate Smith Hour, so I have updated the list above to note the dates they were off for their summer replacement series.

Glad to help! You kept me on my toes. Couldn't find THE CITY. There it was hiding beside LOVING. But when I got to FOR RICHER, FOR POORER, no sign of LOVERS & FRIENDS! 

Here at the end, your mind works like mine does. One thing makes me think of another thing.

I'll defer to you on that then...I think those two (FRFP/LF) shows were sometimes split in sources I checked. But is For Richer For Poorer/Lovers and Friends pretty much the same thing as Loving/The City. Is it pretty much the same cast and such, was it just a retitiling? If so, then I will combine those two like I did for Loving/The City.

Yes, it's like that. Oddly I find some people hated one but liked the other. It is the soap that Paul Rauch & Pete Lemay did together while they were doing AW. It was on hiatus for a number of months so they did do some fiddling with it & not just the title change, but still, they go together.

Good deal! Here, for your ref. 

Schemering, C. (1987). The Soap Opera Encyclopedia. Ballantine Books.

p. 156 Lovers and Friends Jan. 3, 1977 to May 6, 1977 NBC

... writer Harding Lemay & producer Paul Rauch ... new serial ... 2 families, the Cushings & the Saxons, suburb of Chicago. Class conflict & psychological themes. Unsuccessful. Put on hold. Tweaked. revamped & back on the air as For Richer, For Poorer. Dec. 6, 1977 to Sept. 29, 1978 NBC.

Thanks. I see you had a Tuesday start date listed for it in the Schemering book (which I do have). I checked the Nielsen list, and an NBC Special Treat aired at 4PM on 12/5/77, causing the local programming in the For Richer time slot, so that's why it didn't air until 12/6/77. So, I have updated its return date from 12/5/77 to 12/6/77.

DuMont was a little too confusing to figure out which series were actually on the DuMont network, or just locally on the main DuMont affiliate. But, from what I can surmise, along with the series in the Daytime TV Encyclopedia, there's a chance many of the shows listed on the bottom list were possibly also network shows as well. So, here's the two lists, but these are too hard to verify even with the numerous books & sources I used!

While I hate to use Wiki as a source, it was quick to check. Those other two soaps you mentioned were actually once-a-week primetime soaps:

From Wiki:

Faraway Hill was the first soap opera broadcast on an American television network, airing on the DuMont Television Network[1] on Wednesday nights at 9:00 PM[2] between October 2 and December 18, 1946.  (Jason47 note- 12 episodes at most)

New cast member Janice Gilbert remained with the series (The O'Neills) when it was telecast on DuMont Tuesdays at 9pm ET from September 6, 1949, until January 10, 1950.[4] (Jason47 note- 19 episodes at most)

So DuMont actually only had one daytime soap, A Woman to Remember, and even that was just for a few months until it moved to primetime:

From Wiki:

A Woman to Remember is a soap opera which ran on the DuMont Television Network from February 21 to July 15, 1949.[1] The show began on February 21 as a daytime series at 3 pm ET. However, starting May 2, the show aired Monday through Friday from 7:30 to 7:45 pm ET.[citation needed]
