Ratings: 'General Hospital' Up Again; 'Days of our Lives' No. 1 in Women 18-34 Demo

The Live + Same Day daytime ratings are in for the week of September 7-11, 2015, a week where only Tuesday through Friday counted in the ratings. On Monday, September 7, Days of our Lives was pre-empted, ABC aired an encore of General Hospital and, despite the fact they aired new episodes, CBS did want to count The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful (the most-watched episodes for both for the week). In the shortened week, Days moved to No. 1 in the Women 18-34 demo, and all four soaps made week-to-week gains in the Women 25-54 demo. Meanwhile, General Hospital was up in total viewers for the third week in a row (+130K).
