why was general hospital not on today

General Hospital was not on today, October 1, 2025, because ABC preempted the show to broadcast live Major League Baseball (MLB) playoff games, specifically the National League Wild Card Series between the San Diego Padres and the Chicago Cubs. This interruption also affected the previous day, September 30, and may potentially extend to October 2, depending on the outcome of the baseball series. New episodes of General Hospital are expected to resume later this week, likely starting on October 2 or 3, 2025.
