‘General Hospital’: April 12th Episode Preempted Because of Breaking News
General Hospital is a popular ABC soap opera. Since 1963 it’s been a main staple of daytime TV. Every day fans tune in to watch the latest drama unfold in Port Charles. However, the show tends to be preempted now and then.
‘General Hospital’ aired a rerun during the preemption
General Hospital fans tuned into the April 12th episode, ready for another day of drama from their favorite characters. However, they were in for a shock when a rerun aired. Viewers were confused why they were watching a repeat of Maxie Jones’ (Kirsten Storms) and Peter August’s (Wes Ramsey) wedding instead of new episodes.
The preemption was because of breaking news coverage of the Brooklyn Subway shooting. Fans were understanding of the interruption given the latest crisis. Although today’s episode was preempted, the show’s Twitter page tweeted that it will air tomorrow at its regular time.
