I read one report that the audience is still there, but that they watch online.
Y & R gets 5 million viewers on CBS, 11 million more online.
Days grets 3 million on NBC, another 6 million online.
But the networks make no money from the online viewings.
This is not OT, BTW. Louis Edmonds was on AMC for 16 years. Clarice Blackburn won an Emmy writing for AMC.
Sam Hall & Gordon Russell wrote for One Life. Grayson, Nancy Barrett, Anthony George & Lisa Richards have all been cast members.
Soaps were such a big deal when I was younger. What a sad day.
