Reruns vs. New General Hospital Episodes

Even though fans of the various soaps are enjoying watching older episodes, new installments are winning. This is likely what led to GH snagging the top spot in total viewers from Y&R. Last Thursday, the ABC soap aired its final original episode, though. So, we will have to see what happens until production resumes.

GH Ratings: Top Spot For Total Viewers

According to Nielsen, General Hospital had 2,168,000 viewers, coming in first place. Then, Y&R had 2,124,000, Days of Our Lives scored 1,956,000, and The Bold and the Beautiful came in fourth with 1,726,000.

General Hospital Storylines

Last week, the stories that fans saw on the ABC soap included the custody war for Wiley Quartermaine-Corinthos. Testimony was heard from and Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) was tempted to take drugs. Also, Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) speculated that Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) could be alive.

One Soap Left With New Episodes

Right now, that makes only one of the four American soap operas that are airing original episodes: Days of Our Lives. As fans of the NBC soap know, its production schedule is quite different from the others. While GH, Y&R, and B&B air a few weeks in advance, DOOL airs six to eight months in advance. So, they are not in danger of running out of new episodes anytime soon.

There is still no word on when production will resume for the soaps. Some sources are saying as early as June, while others are not saying until September. So, we will have to wait and see what happens. In the meantime, we can always watch classic episodes from General Hospital, The Young and the Restless, and The Bold and the Beautiful.

What do you think of General Hospital taking the top spot in total viewers from The Young and the Restless? Do you believe that it is because the soap was still airing new episodes? What happens now that GH has officially run out? Will Days of Our Lives end up snagging the top spot until production resumes? We will have to just wait and see what the rating reports say in the coming weeks.

Be sure to catch up on everything happening with GH right now. Come back here often for General Hospital spoilers, news, and updates.
