Although there‘s been a shift in how TV viewership is counted, in 2024, Nielsen’s Live+Same Day tracking still remains the best indicator of the overall audience for daytime programming. Unlike several primetime and streaming shows, daytime programs don’t typically see much growth in terms of delayed viewing beyond the initial sample we report each week. That said, daytime dramas, in particular, do perform well on streaming, although those viewing figures remain unavailable to the public/press.

During the week of May 6-10, 2024, “General Hospital” was below the two million viewer mark, averaging just 1.876 million viewers. This marked the fourth consecutive week with the show below two million viewers and the 10th time overall this season. Additionally, for the second consecutive week, the show hit a new season low among Total Viewers. It also marked the fifth consecutive where the show has lost viewers compared to its performance one week earlier.

On the positive side, for the week and season-to-date, “General Hospital” remains ABC’s highest-rated daytime series among Women 18-49 and 25-54. The soap opera was flat week-to-week in both demographics when rounded. After hitting a new season low last week, “The View” (2.217 million) was up week-to-week among Total Viewers. “GMA3: What You Need to Know” (1.275 million) was also up week-to-week.

With the network continuing to broadcast UEFA Champions League games, CBS programming was preempted, amended or broken out on Wednesday, May 8. Despite this, “The Young and the Restless” (3.079 million) and the first half-hour of “The Price is Right” (3.638 million) both saw an uptick among Total Viewers. The second half-hour of “The Price is Right” (4.150 million), “The Bold and the Beautiful” (2.633 million) and the first half-hour of “Let’s Make a Deal” (2.032 million) each saw minor decreases.

Note*: Total Viewers and Households for “TODAY 3rd Hour” and “TODAY with Hoda & Jenna” were unavailable at press time. As a result, rankings are subject to change.

What follows is a breakdown of how the daytime broadcast shows performed during the week of May 6-10, 2024 in Women 18-49, Women 25-54, Households and Total Viewers, including a look at their performance during the comparable week last year. A closer look at the daytime soaps, including their daily performance breakdown in the demos, will be posted shortly.

Sheila has returned yet B&B still dropped in HHs and a few in viewers. Where is the bump in numbers? Everyone was wanting her back. Isn't that what Kimberlin said?

YR goes back up in HH.

GH again down in viewers. How many weeks is it now?

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By BoldRestless · Posted

      That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.

      Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?

      I know at one point they were on Hulu & i-Tunes. I just checked it on JustWatch.com & it indicates 1 season on Prime Video & on AppleTV. Have fun!

      That era is so weird...they made a big deal out of all three of those characters and then they just..disappeared! Not that I am complaining. We talk about the bad out of character writing for Alex under JFP..but this was one example that may have led them to write her being so obsessive with Nick.  WHY would Alex accept Flock of Seagulls guy as her brother? They had her in one scene (setting up the Alan return) complain that Alan abandoned her...she blackmailed him into leaving town and she had been angry at him for helping Brandon with Lujack and also using Spaulding for that dumb dreaming death thing. Endless scenes of her with Simon, I can't believe Bev wasn't bored to death! I would also add Pam writing the scene where she lets Ms. Sally die in front of her to protect Alan and  the writing for Alex could be screwy even before JFP.

      On this day 34 years ago the final episode of Dallas and came in at an astonishing #2 in the ratings after two straight seasons of weak ratings. Interesting Knots was #27 for that week as well:

      Thank you for clearing that up. I wasn't watching GL regularly yet at that point, but seems to me I should have remembered the big wedding after Leslie's death (which I do remember) described in the profile. Is there a web archive of SOD summaries, or are referring to your own personal collection?

      I was bummed that 2.0 ended because Mcpherson (headwriter) had really set up some interesting stories and we never got to find out where the stories would go once they resumed production on 'season 2'. I remembered the EP (Ginger Smith) and a lot of the stars gave a lot of credit to McPherson being able to come in on very short notice and come up with stories/plots (I think it was a very short turnaround time of a few weeks).  It was nice that she got to redeem herself after her year long Days stint was not well reviewed/liked.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By j swift · Posted

      It seems like a setup for failure to review a single episode of a soap, but Cleveland Amory was a foolish man.  His taste was so predictable, that one wondered why bother reviewing a medium he so clearly disliked. (found on Facebook retro TV group) Another case in point of his misogyny from his review of Dark Shadows (Can you imagine the magazine with the widest circulation in the country insulting its customer in this way today?)

      They could easily be re-created, or even re-shot in different ways, especially if they were re-shooting scenes at some point, as well.
