“The Bold and the Beautiful” (2.916 million) was also down week to week and year to year but managed to see an increase over its comparable performance in 2020, up +469,000 viewers, when it aired its fourth consecutive week of originals following its return to production.
“General Hospital” (2.042 million) was also down week to week and year to year, but it too saw an uptick compared to its 2020 performance, up +144,000 viewers, which marked its second full week back with originals.
Weeks away from “Days of our Lives” ending its nearly 57-year broadcast run on NBC (moving to Peacock starting September 12), the drama series saw a minor uptick, adding +17,000 viewers over the week ago period. The soap was down -70,000 viewers year to year, however. The soap still managed to see an increase over its performance in 2020, up +77,000 viewers, when it once again started to compete with the other three dramas.
