There are 6 daytime soaps still on air stateside and the number 1 Rated show "Young and the Restless"(NUMBER 1 FOR LAST 22 YEARS fact!) Still averages around 5 million per episode so it'll run for years on CBS Yet it seems.
The other 5,"Bold & Beautiful,General Hospital,Days,All My Children & One Life to Live" are all in a heap ratings wise with "Bold" 2nd,usually just above the 3million mark and the other 4 averaging ratings in the 2.2 mil to 2.6 million bracket.
