Maybe these ratings drops are due to the power outages that a good part of the country experienced during that time period. Was it the same time period?

SoapArmageddon I was thinking the exact same thing. The storm hit 6/30, a Saturday and up to 3 million people were with out power for more than a few days. It think it would impact the numbers quite a bit. Even as late as last week there were people without power -at least the first few days of the week.

Just a thought that made me giggle-are you saying Mother Nature hates GH/YR/BB and loves Days fans?

I see your point marybee but 1-3 million people out of power for a week or more, well some of them have to be live and DVR watching soapfans, including Days fans. I'm presuming they count downloads off the CBS website too or am I wrong on that? Do they count Soapnet too?

It was more a joke that I was stating.I don't think they count soapnet or when my cable system carried it I would have cranked up OLTL and Days.Not sure about online viewings.It just seemed odd that Days was the only one to go up,but there may be more Days viewers where power didn't go out.
