‘General Hospital’ is preempted on Jan. 2, 2023

2022 had a lot of preemptions for General Hospital. It was mainly interrupted by breaking news, including the Jan. 6 hearings. But the show also took a break for the holidays, including Memorial Day and Thanksgiving.

As 2023 begins, fans will again have to deal with interruptions. According to Soaps.com, the soap opera will be preempted on Monday, Jan. 2, 2023. The reason for the disruption is because of coverage for the Citrus Bowl.

Recap of this past week’s episodes

Port Charles was ready to celebrate and ring in the New Year this past week. While many were in a joyous mood, it was a sad time for others. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) prepared to say goodbye to her family and friends with one last birthday bash.

Meanwhile, Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) is turning over a new leaf since his release from prison. He apologized to his stepmother Ava Jerome (Maura West), for the pain he caused her. Spencer’s new attitude draws much attention from Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali).

General Hospital had a big return with Andre Maddox (Anthony Montgomery). Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) sought her ex-boyfriend’s help locating the missing Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring). Andre’s arrival sparked jealousy in Valentine Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), who might be worried Andrew is after Anna.

New episodes of ‘General Hospital’ will resume on Jan. 3.

As long as there are no unexpected preemptions, General Hospital will resume new episodes on Jan. 3. As the New Year starts, there are a lot of storylines to wrap up.
