Reports say that the Y&R lost a whopping 760,000 viewers, compared to the ratings report from this time last year. The soap hit an all-time low with just 3.5 million views. This comes as a surprise for many viewers who have made it no secret that they’ve enjoyed the new storylines and the return of so many beloved characters.
And while ratings has been off all across the board for all four soaps, The Young and the Restless literally dropped out of the ratings.
Young And The Restless News – Many Fans Are Blaming Boring Storylines
Many are even speculating that the soap might be in serious trouble if something isn’t done fast. Two years ago, the Y&R was headed towards a steady 4.8 million viewers by the end of 2017.
With the return of Adam Newman (Mark Grossman), Paul Williams (Doug Davidson) and even an occasional appearance from Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson), things were looking pretty positive for a while.

But it appears as though fans are just not interested between the ongoing custody battle between Adam and his brother Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow), Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) and Lola Rosales’ (Sasha Calle) romance and everything that is going on in Phyllis Summers’ (Michelle Stafford) life right now.
Young And The Restless News – Ratings Are Down For All The Daytime Soaps
Y&R producers aren’t the only ones shaking in their designer boots and heels. Their sister soap the Bold and the Beautiful also lost about 400,000 viewers while General Hospital is down by 300,000. Things are also looking bad at NBC’s Days of Our Lives, as they lost 200,000 viewers as well.
So far producers and the Young and the Restless writers have not made any comments about the drop in ratings but we have a feeling that they are wasting no time in scribbling up some new and exciting storylines!
