The Young and the Restless increased its total audience by nine percent (4.82 million viewers, up from 4.43 million) while The Bold and the Beautiful soared ten percent (3.46 million to 3.82 million).

In the women 25-54 demographic, B&B jumped eight percent.

The news was also good for CBS's non-soap programming. The Talk is up six percent over last year and continues to best ABC's The View in the ratings. And behind door number three is a three percent ratings rise for The Price is Right and Let's Make A Deal.
