General Hospital

General Hospital Is Preempted Multiple Times This Week

Soap fans are never happy when their favorite shows are interrupted for news or planned events like sports. But unfortunately, General Hospital is going to be preempted twice this week with the possibility of a third day depending on how things shake out.

GH will be preempted on Tuesday, Oct. 1, and Wednesday, Oct. 2, for postseason baseball. ABC will broadcast the first two games in the Wild Card series from 2 p.m. ET through 5 p.m. ET on those days featuring a matchup between the Detroit Tigers and the Houston Astros.

Unfortunately, the Wild Card Series is best of three, meaning that if both teams win one game on each day, then a third tie-breaker game will need to be held on Thursday, Oct. 3. In that case, the episode of GH currently scheduled to air on that day would then be pushed to Friday, Oct. 4. (Meaning that Van Hansis’ debut as the new Lucas would be pushed to Monday, Oct. 7.)

Viewers don’t have to worry about missing any of the action in Port Charles because after Monday’s episode, GH will air the very next episode on either Thursday or Friday, depending on the results of the baseball games.

As always, don’t bother looking for any of the preempted episodes on Hulu or ABC.com in the evening because they won’t be there as no episode was scheduled to air in the first place. Just cross your fingers that the Tigers or the Astros win both games on Tuesday and Wednesday so GH will be back on in its normal time slot on Thursday.
