Meanwhile, among Women 25-54, the soap’s 0.27 rating marked the show’s second-worst rating of the season in the demographic, only ahead of the MLB-infused preemptions during the week of September 30 – October 4, 2024.

“The View” (2.258 million) was ABC’s sole bright spot, up +0.02 week-to-week among Women 18-49 (0.21 rating vs. 0.19 rating) and Women 25-54 (0.3 rating vs. 0.28 rating) despite dropping -116,000 viewers week-to-week.

CBS’ soap lineup, consisting of “The Young and the Restless” (2.879 million), “The Bold and the Beautiful” (2.429 million) and “Beyond the Gates” (1.510 million), saw week-to-week gains among Women 18-49 and Women 25-54, with the Genoa City and Fairmont Crest-set soaps setting five-week highs among Women 25-54.

Dang that blows for them.

Huge drops in demos for General Hospital but still slightly up in viewers and steady in households. Still not a good sign for General Hospital.

I've actually been enjoying GH. That's definitely a pretty big drop for them in the 18-49 demo. I hope if the quality we had at the Nurses Ball can be consistent, lapsed viewers may come back.

As for BTG, good for them. Slow and steady wins the race. It's performing better in the demos than I expected. I just need the total viewers to get over 2M and I'll be happy.
