General Hospital Fans Left Hanging On July 4

On July 4, 2025, there won’t be a new episode of General Hospital airing on ABC. Unlike other soaps that will run on Independence Day, General Hospital, the last remaining soap opera on ABC, is taking a break. The hiatus is particularly disappointing given the captivating storylines currently unfolding in the hospital-based soap.

This week, the conflict between Sidwell and Sonny intensified, with events unfolding similar to a common soap opera plot where a family member gets entangled in someone else’s predicament. Specifically, Kristina found herself at Charlie’s Pub when an explosion occurred. This incident further fueled Sonny’s desire for retaliation. The narrative took an intriguing turn as Maxie discovered information about Sonny’s questionable financial dealings.

Maxie’s search for financial documents led her to a file concerning Brook Lynn and Britt that she intends to keep secret to protect Rocco. However, since Rocco is eager to uncover more about Britt, this hidden information may surface soon. Regrettably, we will have to wait until General Hospital resumes its broadcast after the break to find out more.

Why There’s No New General Hospital Today (July 4)

The Soap Is Airing A Rerun Because Of The Holiday

Network TV soap operas like “General Hospital” occasionally get pre-empted multiple times a year due to holidays or special occasions. Today, instead of a fresh episode, ABC is broadcasting a re-run as a result of the July 4th holiday celebration.

During special occasions like the Fourth of July, many viewers might be preoccupied with family gatherings, political events, or holiday activities. To ensure a larger audience, it’s strategic for the network to postpone the next episode of General Hospital until after the holiday, allowing more people to watch.

Instead of a fresh episode, General Hospital decided to broadcast a replay from November last year, keeping viewers on edge due to the thrilling cliffhangers set up on July 3, as a prelude to the extended weekend.

When Will ABC Release New Episodes Of General Hospital?

The Soap Will Return Very Soon

Luckily, the hiatus isn’t prolonged. The upcoming episode of General Hospital is set for release on Monday, July 7. So, fans won’t have to wait long to uncover the latest developments in Port Charles.

The popular series General Hospital is airing a rerun of an episode from November, allowing viewers who didn’t catch it originally to enjoy it now. It isn’t certain why they selected this specific episode for rebroadcast; it could be unrelated to any upcoming events in the next week’s storyline.

Although General Hospital hasn’t released many of its episodes for streaming by ABC, all episodes aired from June 20th onwards are accessible, and the rerun scheduled for November 27th will be available after 8 PM ET on July 4. This means that viewers who have missed recent episodes can conveniently catch up with the series on Hulu.

What To Expect From The Upcoming General Hospital Episodes?

More Intense Drama Is On Its Way

When General Hospital comes back, it’s expected to carry on from where it left, with consequences stemming from the demise of one of its most despised characters. Sasha is going to uncover a shocking truth, while Maxie is aware of this already. On the other hand, Drew will take his next step, and the ongoing struggle between him and Michael over Willow seems set to escalate further.

There continues to be much discussion about whether Drew could be involved in a shooting incident, hinting that the storyline of ‘General Hospital’ might be heading in that direction. While such a violent event isn’t planned for next week, these engaging plotlines will compensate for the show not airing a new episode today.
