While the ABC drama typically airs a new episode every day, fans will now see a midweek repeat.

Due to the July 4th holiday, the network will re-air the episode aired on July 7, 2023.

The earliest episode comes after fans watched episode 209 of season 61 on Wednesday, leaving many excited for what’s to come on the soap opera.

NO TIME FOR A BREAK!

In a teaser shared on General Hospital’s Instagram page before its airing, many viewers discussed the current plot and said they wanted to see more.

The clip showed Sasha offering Kristina and Blaze advice on how to deal with a public scandal and Alexis confronting a vengeful Ava.

“Can’t wait to see more, Maxie Ava is so bad,” one person wrote.

“Ava will get what she deserves,” guessed a second.

“I’m looking forward to Tracey confronting Natalia about the recording!!” said a third.

“Damn, I can’t wait until 2pm,” said a fourth after seeing the clip.

“I’m loving this story, Port Charles x Ava Jerome,” added another.

“Sasha and Cody’s story needs more time than Blaze. It’s getting tiring”, thought another person.

DEPARTURE OF MICHAEL

Others commented that they missed Michael Easton, 57, on the show, who recently said goodbye to his character.

“The struggle is real, please find a way to bring Michael Easton back, I really need him on GH,” someone wrote.

Last week, the actor announced that he was officially leaving the show after ten years.
