(SoapOperaNetwork.com) — It may not be the jump that ABC wanted, but after three weeks since returning to “General Hospital,” Vanessa Marcil Giovinazzo is helping the soap climb up the charts by increasing viewership week-to-week and year-to-year. Meanwhile, “Days of our Lives” continues to lose viewers and “One Life to Live” is barely able to hold off “As The World Turns” in viewers, while tying the canceled soap for last place in households. Interestingly, fans tuned in to see what they could expect from “One Life” only to tune back out until Friday.
