The aftermath of Martin's secret on BTG did nothing for their ratings. They actually dropped.

They gained viewers, but were down slightly in the key demos. They still beat GH among Women 18-49, and tied among Women 25-54. It's within range of its average for the last few months. I'd rather more significant gains, but not being far off from B&B in the demos is a win to me.

Same! I agree.

BTG is definitely holding it's own. I have to assume CBS is happy the show is being competitive in the timeslot and that it's doing much better than The Talk. As I've said before, we just need to get the show over two million total viewers mark. We can do it.

In time.

Britt brings the ratings 

If you look too closely at the ratings, you find flaws with the numbers.

-- Y&R and B&B and BTG all LOST viewers in the 18-49 and 25-54 demos. All GAINED viewers overall, which seems to indicate the gain came entirely from the 55+ crowd.

-- GH GAINED viewers in the 18-49 and 25-54 demos, but LOST viewers overall. 

So the "older viewers" showed up in numbers for the CBS soaps but disappeared on the ABC soap? Make it make sense.
