‘General Hospital’ was preempted on July 12, 2022, because of national news
Aside from the holidays, General Hospital is often preempted because of breaking news. The show and other soap operas haven’t aired because of the January 6 hearings. The hearings resumed on July 11, meaning many shows were interrupted because of the national news coverage.

“Just cut GH to 4 days a week. GH hasn’t had 5 uninterrupted days for like a month or two. This sucks and happens too much,” wrote one user.
“Ugh, we don’t care about the coverage @abc just freakin’ let GH play and stop interrupting while everyone is at work anyway,” another commenter chimed in.
