‘General Hospital’: Return to Filming Update – COVID Tests, Script Changes & More

General Hospital is almost ready to get back in the studio to create fresh episodes. However, things are sure to be different, and there will be many adjustments as they get back to work on the ABC sudser. But, at least, things are going in the right direction.

General Hospital: Gearing Up for New Episodes

GH is taking every precaution to ensure there can get to work as safely as possible. Of course, it will be difficult as they must follow strict rules. However, the General Hospital actors are itching to get back to work.

During this scary time, many of them have gone above and beyond to stay close with fans. It’s even more critical now, with fan events on hold. So, the GH crew is likely ecstatic to get back to it and give General Hospital viewers what they want.

GH Cast and Crew to Receive COVID Tests Regularly

The General Hospital cast, as well as the crew, was tested already for Coronavirus. And, they will continue to receive testing regularly. Now, this is the new protocol they must follow on the GH set, along with shorter workdays and staggered call times.

Of course, this will put a wrench into some scenes on General Hospital. You can forget personal contact like fights and love scenes. No doubt, it will take some time to adjust to this new normal. But, it surely will be great for fans and cast members alike to get fresh General Hospital episodes on the air.

General Hospital Scripts Tweaked – Love Scenes Cut?

While it’s terrific news that GH is close to airing fresh episodes, some fan-favorite scenes are sure to be impacted. To accommodate the new protocol, writers had to tweak the scripts for General Hospital. So, fans should brace themselves for fewer romantic scenes. No doubt, JaSam fans are itching for Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) to reunite.

Recently, spoilers suggested they would find their way back to each other. Now, JaSam shippers may need to wait a little longer. But, fans will probably take whatever they can get as long as production is back up and running. So, while we still won’t see fresh GH episodes quite yet on ABC, at least we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
