The soap opera ratings have been reported by Soap Opera Network. There were no holidays or breaking news that interrupted any of the four daytime soap operas that would have affected their ratings. Let’s see how all four soap operas made out this week!
DAYS OF OUR LIVES
NBC’s DOOL lost 20,000 in total viewers, leaving the show with 2,089,000 in total viewership. It also dropped 13,000 viewers in women ages 18-49 from the previous week. Ciara (Victoria Konefal) continues to struggle between Ben (Robert Scott Wilson) and Tripp (Lucas Adams).
Beloved couple John (Drake Hogestyn) and Marlena (Deidre Hall) are busy planning their wedding. Chad (Billy Flynn) walks away from Abigail (Marci Miller) and her baby, after she shares an intimate moment with baby daddy, Stefan (Tyler Christopher) and Steve (Stephen Nichols) suspicions continue to grow about his wife, Kayla (Mary Beth Evans).
THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS
CBS’ Y&R fell 95,000 from the previous week but still remains in the lead with 4,147,000 in total viewership. Unfortunately, the CBS soap opera lost 22,000 in women viewers ages 18-49. Could it have to do with the fact that Summer (Hunter King) is obsessed with bedding her mother, Phyllis’ (Gina Tognoni) boyfriend, Billy (Jason Thompson)?
Devon (Bryton James) will not give up on punishing his sister, Lily (Christel Khalil) for “murdering” his wife and unborn baby. On the up side, it looks like a new couple, Neil (Kristoff St. John) and Ashley (Eileen Davidson) is on the horizon!
GENERAL HOSPITAL
ABC’s GH dropped 97,000 viewers from the week before; now having 2,394,000 in total viewers. The ABC soap opera also lost 24,000 women viewers between the ages of 18 and 49 from the week before.
Ava (Maura West) uses Julian (William deVry) to put the blanket back in the Q mansion, where it is discovered and Nelle (Chloe Lanier) finally faces the consequences she so justly deserves! Margaux (Elizabeth Hendrickson) is “toying” with both Jason (Steve Burton) and Drew (Billy Miller).
Kiki’s (Hayley Erin) day in court arrives as Franco (Roger Howarth) attempts to save the day, but only makes things worse by exposing Griffin (Matt Cohen) and Kiki’s one-nighter to the wrong person!
THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL
CBS’ B&B had the worst week of all the four soap operas, as it lost 125,000 in total viewers from the previous week, but still remains in 2nd place with 3,371,000 in total viewership. B&B also lost 19,000 women viewers aged 18-49.
Liam (Scott Clifton) is initially upset with Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), but ultimately proposes to Hope (Annika Noelle) himself. Emma’s (Nia Sioux) jealousy over Zoe (Kiara Barnes) is going overboard after Thorne (Ingo Rademacher) hires her as their newest model.
Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) confronts Liam, although proud of his daughter, while Bill (Don Diamont begs for forgiveness. Changes are ahead at Forrester Creations that will affect several people!

Think viewers are tired of how all stories are being dragged out for weeks and weeks–yes there should be a certain amount of suspense and drama however, these stories go on and on–I can see how B&B lost viewers: due to the liam, Steffy, Bill, Hope drama–I tuned out after Thomas and his girlfriend left the show…
DOOL? this Ciara story and the Theresa thing–ho-hum.
Y&R? Held my attention but was sick of the Billy/Phyllis jumping into bed every ten minutes and whatever happened to the Dina story line?
GH? I will always watch however, the Nell thing was too much even for me—now I am back watching and hopefully this ‘baby’ switch thing will be over soon…
Well, you DID ask….LOL
Will thurs be a rerun or not?
There is no one on days of our lives happy maybe John and Marlena and they are screwing up another wedding at least make someone happy
B&B – story line with Liam, Hope, Steffy and Bill was too long and boring. Too many characters have left the show that I liked. Where are Eric and Quinn? What about Thomas and Caroline, are they gone forever?? Get some new characters and new storylines and please do not ever make Bill Kelly’s father. He has enough children that he treats like dirt. This is the only soap I watch so don’t destroy it.
You need new writers that can keep the excitement in a storyline when two people have amazing onscreen chemistry, like Liam&Steffy, B&B; or Valentin&Nina, GH; or Jason&Sam, GH. B&B was really exciting to watch when Liam&Steffy we’re together, especially with Kelly.
