The holidays are here, and while fans of Days of Our Lives can rejoice with fresh episodes airing every day on Peacock, fans of the other top soaps (The Young & the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful, and General Hospital) will notice some major schedule changes this week.
General Hospital Fans: A Christmas Break with a Rerun
If you’re tuning in to General Hospital on ABC this week, don’t expect new drama on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. On Tuesday, December 24, ABC will air a special repeat episode from May 22, 2024, in place of a new episode. Why the rerun? It’s likely a holiday schedule adjustment. Then, on Christmas Day (December 25), General Hospital will take a full break, with sports coverage filling the timeslot instead. So, while Sonny, Alexis, and the gang won’t be making an appearance, NBA games will be taking center stage.
The Young & the Restless & The Bold and the Beautiful Also Celebrate with Holiday Repeats
Over at CBS, both The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful are following suit. On Christmas Day (December 25), Y&R will treat viewers to a nostalgic holiday episode from 1985, while B&B will bring back its 2014 Christmas special. While these reruns may not be new episodes, they’re the perfect way to relive festive moments from past years.
What About Days of Our Lives?
If you’re craving fresh soap drama, Days of Our Lives on Peacock has you covered. The soap will air new episodes every single day this week, ensuring that its fans can enjoy plenty of holiday chaos and intrigue without interruption.
Wrapping Up the Year with Holiday Cheer
Though the soaps are taking a short break for the holidays, there’s plenty of festive fun to look forward to in the reruns. Whether you’re revisiting classic Christmas episodes or catching a previous episode of General Hospital, it’s the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit. And for those craving more action, Days of Our Lives will keep delivering the goods all week long!
