A new week of drama in Port Charles is about to kick into gear and General Hospital fans are wondering whether they will face any schedule interruptions due to the impeachment hearings of Donald Trump. ABC and many other networks are airing another round of the live hearings on Monday, December 9, which could cause some scheduling hiccups. While the hearings have caused many interruptions and preemptions over the past few weeks for GH , the network has said it is hoping to avoid similar problems on Monday.
Sunday afternoon, ABC executive Nathan Varni addressed the situation via his Twitter page.
“We anticipate tomorrow’s @GeneralHospital airing as scheduled but @ABC will be continuing coverage of impeachment hearings. We’ll keep you posted tomorrow if that changes, but hoping for the best!” wrote Varni.
If ABC does decide to make any scheduling shifts to Monday’s episode of General Hospital , it likely will come as a relatively last-minute decision. In past instances involving the hearings, the network has often waited until just before, or even slightly after, the slated air time for the Eastern and Central timezones to address the airing of that day’s episode.
ABC has taken a few different approaches when the televised hearings have run into the typical time slots for General Hospital . Sometimes they have pushed the episode to the next day for those in the United States. In one case, they aired a partial episode and encouraged fans to head online to see the full show. Other times, some areas of the country missed the airing while others saw the episode uninterrupted.
General Hospital spoilers tease that the week of December 9 should be a wild one. For starters, Franco is prepared to undergo a procedure with Dr. Maddox to try and recover his memories.
However, Peter is determined to stop the surgery from happening. While Franco may get his own memories back, losing Drew’s forever, it is also possible that Drew’s memories will remain and become even stronger and more clear.
The latter is the outcome that frightens Peter. He is scrambling to keep people from finding out that he orchestrated the incidents involving Drew and Jason all those years ago.
People know that Peter was involved, but he led people to believe that he was forced to help by his father Faison. The truth, however, is quite different. He will lose everything if Anna, Maxie, and others find out what he actually did.
