…needs to be added that Wimbledon pre-empted Days twice last week,and they still were #5 in viewers and #3 in HH. of the pack in over …quite a feat!-Not to mention the Michael Jackson coverage affecting all shows.

Days is doing just fine. They were #1 ahead of Y&R in the prime 18-49, and in the top 2 in every category except the teeny-boppers( not as big of a ‘high school’ cast as there used to be for the summer)and men(they watch Y&R at lunchtime…Days is on later in most areas). Y&R will always be #1 as long as they are ruling the lunchroom. Most viewing areas have them up against noon news or local broadcasting…not a lot of competition there.

Guiding Light should go out with a bang. Maybe Edmund Winslow could smuggle a North Korean nuclear weapon into Springfield and there are 2 wires to be cut, one red one blue. Everyone yells “Cut the red wire!!”, the wire is cut and there is bright flash – game over. The finale would have special guest star Kim Jong Il as himself.

Guiding Light is really dead, no 11th hour renewal for the show I guess

Looks like Days Of Our Lives was hurt by the pre-emptions due to Wimbledon. The Jackson funeral will defiantely hurt all the shows this week.

Why the CBS soaps ratings did not count on Friday? I’m shocked at days also and I expected OLTL to do better. I wonder if OLTL can reach over 3mil?

” didn’t think ATWT was a repeat on Friday? I watched and thought it was new?”

ah, ok, I misread the thing. ABC soaps were “repeat-did not count” while CBS was just “did not count”.
It explains the viewing not dropping

The Friday repeat did pretty well for CBS soaps. ABC soaps were all considerably down on Friday with the repeat episode, on the other hand CBS repeat outdelivered some originals in all soaps

Wow, no “new lows” this week?
Things must be turning around for the soaps!
