If you're a General Hospital fan who looks forward to your daily dose of chaos in Port Charles, we have some disappointing news to deliver. On Tuesday, October 1, and Wednesday, October 2, ABC will not be airing new episodes of the soap. So for those looking forward to seeing how the tense reunion between Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) will play out, you'll have to wait a bit.
As far as why new episodes won't be airing to kick off October, the explanation is rather simple: the 2024 MLB playoffs. On October 1 and October 2, the Houston Astros and the Detroit Tigers are going head-to-head in a best-of-three American League Wild Card game series airing on ABC. Due to the format of the series, it's entirely possible that should one team win one game and the other team win the next, General Hospital will also be bumped on Thursday, October 3, for a deciding game 3. However, if one team manages to sweep the first two games, the soap will be back with a new episode on October 3 instead.
