General Hospital
General Hospital remained in third place out of four soaps overall, but saw the most improvements over any show from the week before.
It garnered 2,680,000 viewers on average, up 139,000 from the previous week, yet down 288,000 from the previous year. GH also made improvements from the week before in all three female demographics.
The Young and the Restless
