Soap Opera Ratings Week of November 6 to 10, 2017: CBS Dominate, Leaving NBC & ABC in Their Dust

The soap opera ratings have been reported by Soap Opera Network for the week of Monday, November 6 to Friday, November 10, 2017. There no major interruptions or breaking news this week that would have altered the ratings in any way; but it appears that the CBS network dominated the ratings, dramatically raising their ratings by over 200,000 in both their daytime dramas.

NBC’s Days of Our Lives celebrated their 52nd Anniversary (November 8, 2017), and all of us here at Soap Opera Spy would like to offer our congratulations on such an outstanding achievement!

DAYS OF OUR LIVES

NBC’s DOOL did gain 14,000 in total viewership, leaving them with a total of 2,204,000; but they have a minor drop among women viewers between the ages of 18-49, losing 3,000 from the previous week. Things continued to be intense in Salem, as loved ones demanded answers about Will (Chandler Massey) and whether he was alive. Stepbrother, Eric (Greg Vaughan) and Brady (Eric Martsolf) continue to struggle with the destructive and emotional mess Nicole (Arianne Zucker) left them with, while Eve (Kassie Depaiva) thoroughly enjoys her spiteful return to Salem as Deimos’ (Vincent Irizarry) widow. Will Chloe’s (Nadi Bjorlin) insistence to help ex, Lucas (Bryan Dattilo) turn into something more?

GENERAL HOSPITAL

ABC’s GH clearly didn’t have a great week when it came to total viewership, as it lost 57,000 viewers compared to the previous week, settling at 2,706,000. It also went down by 49,000 among women 18-49; surprisingly even William deVry’s return as Julian Jerome didn’t bring the ratings up. Amy (Risa Dorken) learns her brother Chet (Chris van Etten) is an addict and a patient in GH and doesn’t want to see her. Jordan (Vinessa Antione) has the DNA answers everyone is waiting for, but not what people expected. Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) seeks desperate measures to help a man she claims to hate. Hopefully, now that everyone in Port Charles knows that the two Jasons are actually Susan Moore’s twin sons, the action and interest will pick up again during sweeps!

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL

CBS’ B&B is at the top of the leaderboard, gaining an impressive 209,000 in total viewership this week and gained 34,000 among women 18-49. Bill (Don Diamont) learning that his son, Liam (Scott Clifton) and Sally (Courtney Hope) were inside when he blew up the building was probably the most intense and traumatic moments in recent history of the show. Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) continues to vow to reunite her husband and his dad as Wyatt (Darin Brooks) and Katie’s (Heather Tom) relationship continues to heat up. Who’s love will survive the demolition and is there a chance of new love after such disaster?

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS

CBS’ Y&R isn’t far behind its sister soap opera when it comes to ratings. They also rose with an astounding 201,000 in total viewership from the previous week. When it came to women viewers aged 18-49, Y&R also gained 41,000 from last week. Of course, Hilary (Mishael Morgan is neck deep into blackmail and digging up dirt or people; this week her target is Jordan Wilde (Darnell Kirkwood). Lily (Christel Khalil) and Cane (Daniel Goddard) are able to halt their differences long enough to lean on each other when there is a crisis with Juliet (Laur Allen). Everything comes to a crashing halt when trouble erupts at a Newman, event, which of course will draw in longtime fans and new ones alike. It appears to be only getting more interesting from here as November Sweeps continue.

How do you feel about all the storylines that happened this week and how would you rate all the daytime soap operas? Please let us know what you think!
