Ratings Report for the Week of April 14-18, 2014

It wasn’t that long ago when the soap opera genre was considered to be dying, but it has since seen a major turnaround — to the point where NBC (home of sudser “Days of our Lives”) and USA are developing new soaps!

It’s been an emotional week for “The Young and the Restless’” Elizabeth Hendrickson, who decided to walk away from her six-year stint as Chloe Mitchell and is now spending her final days in Genoa City. The actress, who will last air on Tuesday, May 27, shared her thoughts about leaving the soap opera community with Soap Opera Network, and now she’s gone even further and taped an emotional farewell video for fans! Click here to see the heartbreaking vid, and be sure to stay tuned for Part Two of SON’s Center Stage interview with Hendrickson!

It’s been a long time coming, but the date for the 41st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards has officially been set: A spokesperson for the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences confirms that the ceremony will be taking place on Sunday, June 22 at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles.

A little disorderly conduct charge earlier this month wasn’t enough to stop former “All My Children” star Colin Egglesfield (ex-Josh Madden): The actor will be appearing on an upcoming episode of CBS’ series, “Unforgettable.”

Life has given “Days of our Lives’” star Deidre Hall (Marlena Evans) a tough break — literally. Over the weekend, the Wisconsin native revealed over Facebook that she broke her wrist!

CBS Daytime has featured a slew of crossover stories as of late, and there’s yet one more on the way: “Let’s Make a Deal’s’” model, Danielle Demski is headed to “The Young and the Restless!”

Former “The View” host Debbie Matenopoulos dropped quite a bomb — or rather two — on a recent episode of Hallmark’s “Home & Family:” The Virginia native eloped in Greece last year and is now pregnant with her first child!

“The Price Is Right” has crossed over with “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Young and the Restless,” and “B&B” and “Y&R” just recently did a crossover storyline based around a major fashion show. But just because it’s recently been done doesn’t mean viewers should expect the CBS Daytime shows to stop intertwining anytime soon, as there’s one more crossover already added to the docket: “Let’s Make a Deal’s” Jonathan Mangum is heading to “The Bold and the Beautiful!”

The phrase “How does she do it?!” is said a lot in regards to “Devious Maids” and former “All My Children” star Susan Lucci (Genevieve Delatour, “DM;” ex-Erica Kane, “AMC”), who manages to make being in one’s 60s look youthful and glamorous. And the actress is sharing her secrets!
