From a media release:
Deja-View: SAVING HOPE Returns with Another 1.7 Million Viewers
- Canada’s #1 new series/summer drama tops BIG BROTHER for a second time
Another 1.7 million viewers tuned into last night’s all-new episode of SAVING HOPE. Head-to-head against BIG BROTHER, Canada’s #1 new series/summer drama also delivered 6% more viewers than the CBS/GLOBAL simulcast (1.6 million total viewers). SAVING HOPE continues to surge, with last night’s episode delivering new series high overnight audiences with the key A18-34 and A18-49 demos. Last night’s episode picked up from the emotional fall out after a cliffhanger episode that delivered a series high 1.9 million viewers on July 26 (overnight audience was 1.7 million) and saw Charlie (Michael Shanks) taken off his ventilator.
In next week’s episode, “A New Beginning” (Thursday, Aug. 24 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CTV), Joel (Danielle Gillies) returns to the OR for the first time since injuring his hand but gets cold feet. Kinney (Wendy Crewson) decides that Joel needs to get away from the hospital, and invites him to come with her on a Continuing Medical Education expedition to her hometown of Elsinore. During their field trip, a woman gets pinned underneath a truck and Joel and Kinney lead the rescue effort. Back at Hope Zion, Charlie (Michael Shanks) meets a newly deceased therapist who suspects it’s an emotional block that is keeping him in his coma. Meanwhile, Alex (Erica Durance) examines a man with swelling in his chest after an accident at the gym, and discovers he has an underlying condition not common in men.
