CBS’ B&B made massive leaps this week, gaining an impressive 133,000 total viewers, totaling 3,335,000 in total viewership. The CBS soap opera also rose 54,000 viewers among women viewers aged 18-49. This was the week when Katie (Heather Tom) and Bill’s (Don Diamont) custody battle ensued. Bill shows his all 3 of his sons that he has a softer side, especially when he shares a tender moment with baby Kelly; but can these fences really be mended?
Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) discovers just how “involved” Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) was in the custody results. One has to wonder where her loyalties will lie. Tiffany (Maile Brady), is Emma’s (Nia Sioux) best friend and she is concerned, she is showing a repeat pattern with her obsessive and jealousy behavior regarding Xander (Adain Bradley).
ABC’s GH continues to gain viewers, up 93,000 from the previous week with 2,304,000 in total viewers; unfortunately the ABC soap opera did drop 15,000 women viewers 18-49 from the week before. Mike (Max Gail) might be able to save his son, Sonny (Maurice Benard) from the DA’s clutches, at least for now. Fan fave, Genie Francis came back as Laura Collins, but she didn’t get the warm welcome she was expecting from her ever loving husband, Kevin. Nina (Michelle Reeves) finds out her instincts were right; she has a daughter!
Oscar (Garren Nero) shoves everyone away from him, including his sweetheart, Josslyn (Eden McCoy) who refuses to give up on him; completely unaware of his grim health prognosis. JaSam fans should be thrilled that they finally lock lips, but does this mean they are reuniting?
