Soap operas once filled all of the networks’ daytime schedules, but most of them were cancelled years ago. Until this year, just three remained: The Bold and the Beautiful (CBS), General Hospital (ABC), and The Young and the Restless (CBS). In 2025, CBS introduced the first new daytime network soap in 25 years, Beyond the Gates. Are these series here to stay, or are they still living on the edge? Stay tuned.
Note: Each network measures the success of its own programming. Still, it’s fun to see how the four soap operas rank against each other.
