Is GH Preempted on Thanksgiving – ‘General Hospital’ Schedule This Week [UPDATED]

Is General Hospital new or preempted on Thanksgiving? Everyone’s asking about the GH schedule this week, given the holiday and usual preemptions this time of year. Here’s what you need to know about Thanksgiving 2022 on the ABC soap opera.

Is General Hospital Preempted on Thanksgiving

Your DVR will end the week with just three episodes of GH. There’s a short but intense week ahead on the ABC sudser. But don’t look for a new episode on Thanksgiving Day.

Thursday is an encore of an old General Hospital episode. So, Thanksgiving in Port Charles takes place earlier (and later). We expect the usual insanity with pizza at the Quartermaines. It would be Turkey Day for the Qs if they actually had turkey, after all.

The rerun playing on Thursday, November 24 is one from the same day one year before in 2021. That was when Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) celebrated her first Thanksgiving with her boyfriend, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna). This is their second!

So, if you really must see General Hospital while cooking and spending time with family, be sure to check your DVR. If you’ve set it to only record new episodes, you’ll miss the re-run. Change to “record all episodes,” and you’ll get it!

What Happens This Week on General Hospital? Spoilers November 21-25

What happens on GH in this short week? On Monday, November 21, 2022, Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) lies to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Plus, Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) wants answers from his ex.

Also, on General Hospital, spoilers see that Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) gets bad news. And Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) confronts his dad. There’s another new episode of GH on Tuesday, November 22, 2022.

That day, Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaugnessy) leverages Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) again. And BLQ (Amanda Setton) warns her sleazy ex-manager. Plus, Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) stuns Carly. So, he may drop the cancer bombshell.

The last new General Hospital episode this week airs Wednesday, November 23, 2022. Expect a nasty throwdown between Carly and Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) mid-week. Plus, Britt opens up to her mom. And Valentin needs help from his lawyer on GH.

How Many GH Episodes Coming – Rerun and Preemptions Ahead

This week on GH, there are three new episodes, one rerun and one preemption. You can look for fresh soap action on ABC daytime Monday through Wednesday. Then, it’s an encore episode of last year’s Thanksgiving episode airing on the holiday.

Then on Friday, General Hospital won’t air any episode at all. Instead, it’s college football, Tulane vs. Cincinnati, airing in the soap’s time slot. Also, be sure to check your DVR over the holiday weekend after you drop from all your Black Friday shopping.

Why? Sometimes when there are preemptions and reruns, it can throw off your recordings. So, be sure to read this to see step-by-step instructions so you don’t miss a General Hospital episode after a preemption.
