I'm really curious about streaming numbers for all soaps, but especially BTG. I keep hoping that BTG gets larger streaming views. Probably just wishful thinking. However, it strikes me as the show that would have more people streaming at night after work or on weekends than the other shows. 

It's such a shame that arguably the two best episodes of the season so far (Thurs/Fri) were aired on a preemption week. If only it could have had the slow build for the entire week.

This soccer sh*t is RIDICULOUS, CBS needs to find a way to cut their losses and get rid of that contract cause it's f*CKING up their daytime line up ratings and the soccer itself clearly isn't generating nearly the ratings the soaps are

Every week, www.thetvratingsguide.com publishes lists of the streamers for every day of the week.

Every week, I see DAYS in the Peacock Top 15 for all 5 episodes, and I see GH in the HULU Top 15 for all 5 episodes.

Paramount has no soap or any other daytime show (like the top-rated The Price Is Right) in the Top 15. Looks like it's intentional to ignore all of CBS Daytime, and I just don't get it.

CBS has more popular primetime shows compared to ABC & NBC. Plus 2 slots reserved for whatever Taylor Sheridan is newly streaming & toddlers/stoners watching Spongebob.

I'm not comparing CBS to ABC and NBC.

The fact is that CBS/Paramount NEVER list a daytime show in their top streaming shows list. Since DAYS and GH appear on the Peacock and Hulu lists all the time -- for every episode of the week -- it is not realistic to believe that no CBS soap ever hits that Top 15.

I'm not suggesting CBS has no idea how the soaps do on streaming. They clearly do. I just wish we knew something.

That's so unfortunate. Maybe they need to package a week or two of the Leslie/Ted fallout episodes and re-air them on BET or Pluto like they did the premiere week.

 

It could be a packaged deal that requires CBS to air those daytime games in order to get more lucrative weekend games.

That's interesting. One would think the CBS soaps could at least crack the top 15 during summer when primetime shows are in reruns. CBS is weird though.

Based on data released by Nielsen today, which highlighted broadcast-only viewership based on most current ratings, it sounds like the CBS soaps at least gain just 300-400,000 viewers when factoring in multiplatform ratings, a far cry from the millions of viewers streaming-only programming typically generates. 

I estimate that General Hospital is the most popular soap opera overall on streaming, with likely more than 1 million viewers, as the Hulu list is not an easy one to get on. With Peacock being anything but a huge success, I presume that DAYS is doing at least 500,000 viewers.

Now, while I'm basing my estimations specifically on Nielsen's tracking, not necessarily data from the streaming services outright, I do think Paramount isn't excluding the success of their daytime shows in their Top 10 lists. I do think that is a true representation of how successful the programs on the platform are, and the CBS daytime shows sadly don't rank in that list. It is possible they could be #11, #12, or even #15.

    • -- That accent Cady McClain is using is awful, and it was especially bad in her first scene. Make it stop. -- I agree with all the good and all the bad about Dani, but I do not want Andre to get swept up in her craziness. He deserves better. -- "Better" for Andre is not Ashley. The crazy thing is that the Andre/Dani and Andre/Ashley stories seem to be a part of separate universes. -- The jewelry guy (Adam) who sat with Dani and Pamela had my gaydar pinging. -- I will say the writers are working overtime to make us know Dani and Andre "aren't really related." -- I don't think Leslie will be arrested next week. I think Eva is going to remove the evidence -- that motorcycle helmet -- from the apartment, and that they'll find nothing on the search. -- That wig on Sharon is rough. Wow.
    • And one more Don Diamont anniversary post, this one from the official B&B youtube

    • I never liked Reva, either the first time around, or the second. My issue for the first go round was that Reva dominated the show, which was a shame because I didn't like the character.  Loud, insecure, narcissistic "look at me", "here I am, entertain me" individuals irritate me in real life.  It wouldn't have mattered to me who portrayed the character...Zimmer or someone else. Reva is a character inherently inimical to the idea of ensemble.   Post 1995, Reva was no longer a character, but a device.    
    • I have no idea why Gio would go to Sonny first since he told Emma he thought Sonny knew about him all along. Maybe to clarify if Sonny knew?  Considering Sonny didn't know Dante was his son back then it doesn't really matter. I am sure Sonny will make some wise parallel about his father leaving and his mother dying or being lied to by Olivia and Gio will see the light.
    • I know I have heard Orpheus mention it, at least in passing.  I still don't know why exactly he hates John though.  It seems Orpheus was heavily leaning into a Stefano moment of Marlena obsession, but then he always wanted to murder her a bunch so it's unclear.
    • I always thought that whoever pitched his return story in 2016 just didn't do their homework, and didn't know that the real Roman was the one who killed Orpheus' wife.
    • Xander is Victor's son, but thought he was his nephew until Victor's will.  His mom is an alcoholic who ran Sarah down then left town.  He's got a kid with Sarah and then is related to the rest of the Kiriakis brood. I would argue Orpheus lost his purpose years ago.  I lost the plot with Orpheus when his entire beef was with John and not Roman.  The person who actually killed his wife. Too be kind I'll just say it looks like Chandler was a bit out of practice at the old acting game.  He's never stopped smirking.
    • He is Victor's son so Bo and Philip are his brothers and Brady and Shawn are his nephews. Justin has remained his first cousin

    • -- I didn't want to be the first person to mention it, because I've complained so much about Chandler Massey's smirking and grinning in the past. He just cannot get through a scene without breaking -- that grin broke through every time he ran into another character today. He looks young -- and good -- but I am not a fan of this acting. He's not trying. -- I agree with others here about this goodbye. The bandaged John is a throwback and a full circle moment, but it's gone on too many days already. I especially hate the "He's getting better" stuff. That doesn't work since we all know how this ends. -- I'm glad to see the return of all these characters and I love the flashbacks, but I think DAYS could have done all that without the bandaged exit.
