why is gh a rerun today

General Hospital (GH) is a rerun today, October 1, 2025, because ABC is preempting the show to air live coverage of the Major League Baseball American League Wild Card series between the Detroit Tigers and the Houston Astros. This sports event is causing the delay of new GH episodes on October 1 and possibly October 2 and 3, depending on the game outcomes. ABC plans to resume new episodes of General Hospital on Friday, October 4, 2025.
