The City lost power and cancelled inside two seasons. In its place, ABC created a spinoff, Port Charles, out of the GH franchise. And NBC attempted an Aaron Spelling soap in Sunset Beach, which crested a low tide in the ratings.
Save for NBC soaps DAYS and AW, the losses continued. Y&R dropped a half point, as B&B hit new lows. GH and AMC slid to new lows in the 4's, and ATWT and GL held steady. OLTL dropped a half-point, and new soaps experienced mixed fortunes. PC managed considerable growth over its predecessor, while Beach managed record lows for debuts.
