In a bit of disappointing news for General Hospital fans, the show is not airing a new episode on Monday, April 8. While this means viewers will have to wait a little longer to see what's next for residents of Port Charles, the break in the schedule is due to a very good reason.
Today, millions are awaiting the total solar eclipse, an event that occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, obstructing the view of the sun. To help mark the occasion, ABC is booting General Hospital for the day to air the two-hour ABC News special, Eclipse Across America starting at 2 pm ET/11 am PT. David Muir and Linsey Davis anchor the news program and coverage showcases the eclipse from several locations throughout the US.
