The View, General Hospital, GMA3: What You Need to Know, ABC

During the week of May 26-30, 2025, the second half-hour of “The Price is Right” (3.971 million), “General Hospital” (1.844  million), “TODAY 3rd Hour” (1.776 million) and “NBC News Daily” (1.078 million) were the only daytime broadcast shows to see week-to-week growth among Total Viewers.

On the flip side, “TODAY with Jenna & Friends” (1.128 million) and “GMA3: What You Need to Know” (1.115 million) pulled in anemic viewership for the week, marking new series lows for both programs. Further, in the key sales demographics used to sell ads, “GMA3” tied its series lows among Women 18-49 with a 0.11 rating and while marking a new series low among Women 25-54 with a 0.17 rating.

Despite an increase in viewers, albeit a small one (+3,000), “General Hospital” tied its season and series low among Women 18-49 with a 0.16 rating, a significant drop from its performance one week earlier (0.16 rating vs. 0.21 rating). 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.

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.

    • I do agree that I wish there was more gay representation in terms of singles. I also had hoped we'd get a Black couple since it was a Black soap and I don't know that we've ever seen that on a US soap.  With that said, it's still early days so I can imagine we'll get that at some point. I am impressed they launched with as much LGBT representation considering how US soaps can be.
    • Thank you. I know we're all supposed to see that BTG is progressive when it comes to queer characters, but it's telling that they won't commit to showcasing gay or bi males who are single and looking. That relationship couldn't be any more traditional. Will we ever get a bedroom scene with Smitty and Martin? I have my doubts.
    • This is a pretty huge thing IMO, but I guess we will see what happens? Can't get any worse then already. 
    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
