Channel 7 announced some disruption in the scheduling of new episodes of General Hospital. The soap opera did not air its previously scheduled episodes this week due to the preemptive coverage of the Major League Baseball Wild Card series between the Texas Rangers and Tampa Bay Rays.
The network announced that October 3, October 4, and October 5 were to be kept aside for the broadcast of the game on Channel 7 starting at 3 pm ET. This left fans bewildered and curious about the new scheduling of the show owing to the sudden disruption. However, they need not worry as General Hospital will resume airing episodes in its usual schedule soon.
What is the status of General Hospital this week?
There is no reason for fans to be worried about what will happen to the scheduled episodes of the soap opera that were supposed to air this week. The episodes that were initially planned for this week were re-runs. This means that fans wouldn't miss anything regarding any new developments in the storyline.
The temporary interruption in the soap opera's schedule due to the network's commitment to airing special events will not cause any disruption in the storyline for fans of the show. The show is returning on Friday again with a new episode.
