‘General Hospital’ will be presented for Thanksgiving 2022

2022 has been a year of preemptions for the ABC soap opera. Most interruptions were because of breaking news; however, the show also took breaks for the holidays. They’re about to have more preemptions with the holiday season.

According to Soaps.com, General Hospital will be preempted during Thanksgiving. On Nov. 24, the show will air a repeat 2021 episode with Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) arriving on Sam McCall’s (Kelly Monaco). Then on Nov. 25, the network will show an NFL game in the soap opera’s site slot.

What to expect in Porth Charles this week

General Hospital will have a short week because of the preemption, but there will be drama in Port Charles. Everyone’s favorite blonde, Carly Spencer (Laura Wright), probably wishes she was back in Jacksonville. Carly’s return to Port Charles has been filled with one secret after another.

Carly is helping Joss Jacks (Eden McCoy) hide an injured Dex Heller (Evan Hofer). But Carly finds it tough to keep the secret with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) asking questions. Carly’s problems worsen when she learns Willow Tait (Katlyn MacMullen) is searching for her birth parents. Later in the week, Carly has a showdown with Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros), aka Willow’s biological mother.

Elsewhere, Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) receives upsetting news about her Huntington’s disease. After her gloomy diagnosis, Britt confides in her mother, Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati).

Meanwhile, Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) continues to give Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) the runaround as he questions her return. Little does Robert know that his lady love is secretly working for Victori Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy). Speaking of Victor, his and Holly’s partnership isn’t over as he issues a new order.

New episodes of ‘General Hospital’ will air on Nov. 28

General Hospital being preempted is a minor convenience for fans. But they can expect new episodes on Monday, Nov. 28. There will be lots of drama as the holidays continue in Port Charles.

The week starts with the Quartermaines gathering for Thanksgiving. Holiday celebrations usually are chaotic for the dysfunctional family. There’s no telling what shenigans await them during Thanksgiving.

Meanwhile, Willow and Nina have another confrontation. Willow’s still upset over Nina accusing her of cheating on Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell). Although Nina apologized, Willow isn’t forgiving. Later in the week, Willow needs medical assistance as time is running out to find a bone marrow donor.
