‘General Hospital’ Preempted Nationally: ‘What Happened to Drew’ Tomorrow, Plus Updated Episode Schedule
The collective groan you heard across social media earlier today was on-the-edge-of-their-seats General Hospital viewers who were stunned by Monday’s shocking cliffhanger where after being found not guilty of shooting Drew (Cameron Mathison), alone with him at his house, Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) stabs him in the neck with a hypodermic needle and he goes down writhing in pain! Tuesday, fans of the soap expected the pick-up of what happened to Drew?
However, Nathan Varni, the ABC executive in charge of GH, took to X and made an announcement at roughly 2:30 pm ET/11:30am PT. Varni shared, “Today’s episode of GH is being interrupted by a press conference, which is beyond our control. We don’t yet have a duration, but we’re monitoring closely and will share update as soon as possible. Thanks so much for your patience.”
Then, about ten minutes later, Varni provided an update on X that closed-out any chance of seeing the episode her in the U.S. explaining, “Heads up, GH fans. Due to ongoing live news coverage, today’s episode will now air tomorrow.” The press conference was held by President Donald Trump that stared the preemption after the episode was preempted in full on the east coast.

The only people that we know of thus far are Canadian viewers, who saw today’s regular schedule episode, but tomorrow so the U.S. can catch up and so everyone see’s all the episodes the same day, Canadian fans will see an encore presentation.
To be clear, viewers looking for today’s episode on Hulu or ABC.com will be disappointed because it won’t be posted there, either, until it first airs nationally on the ABC TV Network.
Now, we have to wait 24 hours to find out what Willow did to Drew, plus Chase (Josh Swickard) and Michael’s (Rory Gibson) fist fight which explodes after Michael says referring to Willow, “How long till you’re in her bed, Chase?” In the meantime, a GH rep has updated the spoilers and how the schedule now will shift one day. So, below is what’s to come on GH the rest of this week!
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21
Elizabeth and Lucas rush to action. Britt asks Jason on a date. Trina confides in Ava. Cullum issues new orders. Michael and Chase have a tense encounter.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 22
Laura is alarmed. Tracy makes Jason an offer. Nina advises Kai. Brennan briefs Josslyn. Lucas delivers devastating news.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 23
Britt is backed into a corner. Jason is suspicious. Emma turns to Nathan for help. Brook Lynn and Chase discuss their future. Lucas and Marco are surprised.
Now below, check out the General Hospital tease that was anticipated for today, but provides some clips for what to expect tomorrow on the January 21 episode.
Then weigh-in: how frustrated are you that GH did not air today after the Monday’s exciting cliffhanger? What do you think has happened to Drew? Are you Team Michael or Team Chase? Let us know in the comment section.
Heads up, #GH fans

Thank you for the update. That’s what happens when you have a narcissistic, sociopathic, felonious, toddler-man as president. He’s the reason we need our escapism more than ever and today he managed to ruin even that. He ruins everything.
Harry, I couldn’t agree more. And, I’ll add an egomaniacal bully to the list.
Thank you for understanding, Llanviewer. Now, to navigate it back to the on topic track. I often think that the collective hatred for Drew Caine is a byproduct of watching Trump, who has committed crime after crime, atrocity after atrocity, without receiving his comeuppance, is what is fueling that collective hatred.
Hey! Stop that. Trump is nice! Just like Drew is nice! They do things out of the goodness of their hearts but somehow reap great profits from their actions. It’s not their fault!
I can’t wait until he’s gone from office, which can’t come soon enough.
The graphic used to announce the preemption is what should be the key art design and opening should be.
Please explain. I was at work and I did not see the announced preemption. Thank you.
Just gonna be her imagination, lol
Nope. It happened. lol.
Cannot believe that networks are still interrupting their programming to air the delusional babblings of an 80 year old dementia addled narcissist
Welp! After coming home from a long and had day of work, I discovered that GH did not record yesterday’s episode yet again. I have no idea as to why but I give up. Waiting two days for resolution to a cliff hanger due to orange Mussolini seems a bit much. I hate it here.
The cloud DVRs are typically programmed to record only new episodes. Because Wednesday’s show had the same episode number as Tuesday’s, the not-so-smart technology thought Wednesday was a repeat.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”
Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate. At the end of the day, which of these men has enough evidence against the other? Portia (Brook Kerr) is by Isaiah’s side, while Jordan (Tanisha Harper) is with Curtis.
Next, Lucy (Lynn Herring) has a plan to get the controlling shares of Deception away from Michael (Rory Gibson). She wants her daughter, Serena (Kelly Kruger) to seduce Michael. She tells her, “Pick out your most seductive suit.” Soon, we see Serena in her bathing suit at the Metro Court face to face with Michael.
Later, there is a small baggie containing three blue pills. Nina (Cynthia Watros) ask Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), “What did you do?” We also see Michael asking the same thing of Jacinda (Paige Herschell). Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.
Finally, in the pick-up from last Friday’s cliffhanger, an emotional Jason (Steve Burton) continues to tell Sonny (Maurice Benard) that he cannot work for him anymore. Sonny ask, “So that’s it? You’re Out?” We fade to black.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80

Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.

PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
