Ratings Report for the Week of November 16-20, 2015

While fans of NBC’s “Days of our Lives” will soon be getting a chance to once again see Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford) back on their screens in the coming year, it looks like they’ll also be saying goodbye to another beloved character. Actor Greg Vaughan, who has portrayed Eric Brady on the soap since November 2012, will reportedly be exiting the canvas after it was decided to write the character out of Salem.

Actor Matthew Ashford is heading back to the set of NBC’s “Days of our Lives” this week, more than three years since his character, Jack Deveraux, perished after saving his daughter, Abigail (Kate Mansi), from a devastating elevator crash during the much hyped August 2012 DAYSaster.

The daytime community took to social media to react to the death of David Canary, who portrayed Adam and Stuart on “All My Children” for nearly 28 years, posting comments and photos of an actor that was greatly loved, admired and respected.

The death of former “All My Children” actor David Canary (ex-Adam/Stuart) has touched many in the daytime world, among them soap superstar Susan Lucci (ex-Erica). Canary portrayed one of Lucci’s many husbands on the soap, and she remembered him fondly on Twitter and Instagram, noting, “I am so grateful to have known him.”

Bo might be dead and soon-to-be buried, but there’s good news for Hope fans. Kristian Alfonso has signed a new contract with “Days of our Lives.”

Returning for “Days of our Lives'” 50th anniversary, after three years away from the soap, proved to be more fun than Peter Reckell (Bo) ever expected. In an NBC video interview, the actor said he found the show “so engaging” that it was “a little difficult for me to leave.”

Beginning Monday, November 30, actor Donnell Turner is joining the cast of ABC’s “General Hospital” in the contract role of Curtis, who proves to be a valuable asset to a scheming Hayden Barnes (Rebecca Budig).

First, “Grey’s Anatomy” lost Derek Shepherd. Now, Port Charles is losing their own resident McDreamy. After a decade as dashing Dr. Patrick Drake, Jason Thompson has taped his final scenes at “General Hospital.”
