GH continues to increase in viewers and bounced back in demographics.

 

Bold had lunacy featured, but numbers were only up slightly.

 

BTG needs more drama to bring up their numbers.

Thanks Errol!

[DemetriKane]

Yes, remind them who you are GH. 

Thanks as always, Errol!

Yeah, I've always given credit where it's due. And I'm been watching the Nurse Balls episodes and the aftermath of it. And it's been surprisingly good. And we know how much I don't care for the writing. It does help that it has been focusing on the stories for the most part that were in places before I stopped regularly watching so I was not at all tooo lost. And bonus...remember how to end episodes on cliffhangers that make me want to go ahead and watch the next episode.

[Melroser]

Not really a watcher of GH, though I have occasionally in the past and distant past! (Frisco and Felicia were my jam in their infancy). I'm happy for the show and the genre. The better numbers GH can pull off, the longer 5 shows stay in the soap canon. 

I am disappointed BTG's total viewers is so much lower than GH and the others. The show is far better than Y&R and B&B.
