Mystery Behind Aristotle Dumas Leads ‘The Young And The Restless’ To 11-Week High Among Total Viewers, Continued Year-Over-Year Growth In Key Demos – RATINGS

Setting an 11-week high among Total Viewers, CBS’ “The Young and the Restless” was once again the big winner during the week of June 16-20, 2025, based on Live+Same Day figures released by Nielsen.

For the week, the long-running daytime drama series averaged 3.062 million viewers, up +216,000 from one week earlier and up +13,000 compared to the same week last year, marking the show’s first year-over-year increase among Total Viewers since the week of March 24-28, 2025 and its best overall performance since the week of March 31-April 4, 2025.

While “The Young and the Restless” was the week’s biggest gainer across daytime broadcast, both half hours of “The Price is Right” (3.500 million / 3.937 million) also saw week-to-week growth, up +155,000 and +194,000, respectively.

In the key sales demographics used to set ad rates for daytime television, “The Young and the Restless” was on par with its week ago performance among Women 18-49 (0.29 rating) and had an uptick of +0.02 among Women 25-54 (0.49 rating vs. 0.47 rating). Further, the show was up by the same amount year-over-year and saw some of its highest ratings during the latter portion of the week, which surrounded the mystery behind Aristotle Dumas, who was revealed to be Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn).

Elsewhere, “The View” (2.407 million) was the only other daytime series to see week-to-week and year-over-year gains among Total Viewers,  up +9,000 and +71,000, respectively.

“NBC News Daily” (1.139 million) was up week-to-week among Total Viewers, gaining +52,000, while “Beyond the Gates” (1.470 million) continues to outperform year ago time slot occupant “The Talk.”

With the game show airing amended repeats, demos for “Let’s Make a Deal” were not reported by Nielsen, although Households and Total Viewers were available.
