During the week of October 13-17, 2025, CBS’ “Beyond the Gates” continued to see week-to-week gains among Total Viewers for the fourth consecutive week, while also attracting its largest overall audience since the week of March 17-21, 2025, and its fourth-best performance among Total Viewers since its February 2025 launch.
With 1.637 million viewers tuning in, the daytime drama series was up +42,000 viewers week-to-week and up an impressive +456,000 compared to the performance by former time slot occupant “The Talk” during the same week last year. Demographically, “Beyond the Gates” was up +0.03 week-to-week among Women 18-49 (0.17 rating vs. 0.14 rating), and up +0.01 week-to-week among Women 25-54 (0.25 rating vs. 0.24 rating). Further, the soap opera outperformed the year ago results for “The Talk” in both demographics.
Now in its 17th season, “Let’s Make a Deal” is also doing well for CBS, with the second half-hour setting a season high among Total Viewers. With 2.414 million tuning in, the game show’s second half-hour attracted its largest overall audience since the week of March 3-7, 2025. Meanwhile, the first half-hour (2.065 million) attracted its second-largest audience since the week of March 3-7, 2025, second only to its performance during the week of October 6-10, 2025.
For the fourth time in five weeks (including ties), “The Bold and the Beautiful” was the top scripted drama across daytime broadcast among Women 18-49 (0.23 rating), ahead of perennial leader “The Young and the Restless” (0.21 rating). For the week, the half-hour daytime drama tied with ABC’s “The View” among Women 18-49, each with a 0.23 rating, with the former up +0.03 week to week and the latter up +0.04 week to week. “The Bold and the Beautiful” was also up +0.04 among Women 25-54 (0.35 rating vs. 0.31 rating) and +71,000 among Total Viewers (2.663 million vs. 2.592 million). Overall, the soap attracted its largest overall audience since the week of March 31-April 4, 2025.
“The Young and the Restless” remained the top soap among Women 25-54 (0.39 rating), ranking third overall, and up +0.02 week-to-week (0.39 rating vs. 0.37 rating). The show averaged 2.922 million viewers, up 80,000 week to week and marking its best performance among Total Viewers since the week of August 18-22, 2025.
Elsewhere, “The Price is Right” continues to lead daytime broadcast, this time attracting its largest audience of the season for both half hours, with the second half-hour leading the charts with 4.180 million viewers and the first half-hour in second with 3.644 million. Both numbers are the game show’s best since the week of April 7-11, 2025. While “General Hospital” continues to perform decently among Total Viewers, on par with its regular averages, the soap opera’s performance in the key sales demographics is a bit concerning.
