As “General Hospital” kicked off Season 63 on Monday, September 8, two more affiliates joined the previously announced WCVB in changing the time slot for the long-running ABC daytime drama series in their local markets. New Hampshire affiliate WMUR, which covers the outlying Manchester area, and WPBF in West Palm Beach, Florida, returned the soap opera to its former 3:00 p.m. ET time slot, which it held for more than 25 years before ABC ceded the time slot back to local stations in September 2012 in the hopes of launching “Katie,” the since-canceled and ratings challenged syndicated daytime talk show hosted by Katie Couric that ran for just two seasons and cost Disney, parent of ABC, $80 million to launch. At WMUR, “General Hospital” now airs as the lead-in to the station’s “News 9 at Four,” with syndicated episodes of NBCUniversal’s “Dateline” airing at 2:00 p.m. Meanwhile, at WPBF, “Tamron Hall” has moved to 2:00 p.m., followed by “General Hospital” and the station’s “WPBF 25 News at 4:00 p.m.” telecast. Along with Boston affiliate WCVB, the stations are all owned by Heart Television, leaving one to wonder if the station group is testing the waters to see if it might also move the soap back to its former time slot on other ABC stations it owns, a likely possibility since stations always seek to place their strongest performing shows in time slots that serve as better lead-ins to their highly rated local newscasts. While on the national level, “General Hospital” continues to air at 2:00 p.m. ET/1:00 p.m. PT, the time slot switch by the three Hearst Television stations now sees 11 ABC stations in total that have moved the show back to 3:00 p.m. ET/2:00 p.m. PT. In September 2014, seven of the eight ABC Owned Television Stations, including WABC in New York, KABC in Los Angeles, WLS in Chicago, WPVI in Philadelphia, KGO in San Francisco, KTRK in Houston, and WTVD in Raleigh-Durham, made the switch. Meanwhile, KSAT in San Antonio was the sole non-ABC-owned station to also make the switch back at the time. Boston is the ninth-largest television market in the United States according to Nielsen’s Designated Market Areas (DMAs) report. The area also covers Southern New Hampshire, with WMUR serving as an outlying area of the market. West Palm Beach ranks #39 (WPBF) on the DMA list, while New York is #1 (WABC), followed by #2 Los Angeles (KABC), #3 Chicago (WLS), #5 Philadelphia (WPVI), #6 Houston (KTRK), #10 San Francisco (KGO) and #22 Raleigh-Durham (WTVD). San Antonio (KSAT) ranks 31st. Note: The post Hearst Television-Owned ABC Affiliates WMUR & WPBF Move ‘General Hospital’ To New Time Slot, Joining Boston’s WCVB first appeared on Soap Opera Network.

Rewrite or not, they have never truly done anything with either character. Having Fen and Noah hook up, date, marry, or whatever, gives a story for Sharon, Nicholas, Lauren, Michael, Gloria, Kevin, Chloe, Nikki, Victor, Phyllis, Summer, Mariah, Tessa, and so many others, and it wouldn't be something told during an anniversary episode. Noah has been a wasted character for years. So has Fen.

A Fen and Noah pairing would be a smart plot/storyline twist, IMO. Plays into legacy and gives multiple characters something to do. It won't happen for that very reason, though.

On “Beyond the Gates,” Joey (Jon Lindstrom) and Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) get caught in the act by Vanessa’s husband, Doug (Jason Graham). Ironic, considering Joey admits to Vanessa he has no problem lying to Doug if it means keeping her around him in the long run. Meanwhile, Nicole sets Ted (Keith D. Robinson) straight. Elsewhere, Eva (Ambyr Michelle) comforts Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant), who sobbingly declares, “I’m not some low-class joke. I am somebody.” Later, Kat (Colby Muhammad), Jacob (Jibre Hordges) and Madison (Kenjah) put their lives at risk as the Dupree family rushes to save Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) from the deranged Allison (Brianna Roberts).

It’s been months since it was announced that soap legend Erika Slezak (ex-Victoria Lord Buchanan, “One Life to Live”) would be returning to daytime, this time in a newly created role on “General Hospital.” As she begins taping her scenes this month at the show’s Prospect Studios set in Hollywood, we’re finally learning more about the role she’ll play in Port Charles, particularly in connection to Monica Quartermaine (played by the late Leslie Charleson). “We’re in hock big time to [executive producer] Frank Valentini for coaxing Erika Slezak to come west and play with our cast. She’s a class act and a powerhouse,” commented the show’s co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten, in an interview with TV Insider as they previewed what’s to come this fall on the daytime drama series. “We can’t wait to see how her character challenges the status quo in Port Charles.” According to Korte and Van Etten, the Quartermaines will be devastated upon learning their matriarch, Monica, has passed away, with Jason (Steve Burton) and Tracy (Jane Elliot) hit the hardest by the news. Further, as the family prepares to celebrate the life of one of their own with a grand goodbye after nearly 50 years of the character on the canvas, the occasion not only provides a time for mourning and togetherness, but also an opportunity arises with Slezak’s character arriving with a surprising connection to the Quartermaine clan and mysterious ties to others on the canvas. While not explicitly stated by the writers, a report by Daytime Confidential in July revealed that Slezak is slated to portray Monica’s sister, marking the first time since the character’s introduction in 1976 (played by Patsy Rahn at the time) that the soap opera would establish a sibling for Monica, considering the character was known to have been an orphan raised by Gail Baldwin (played by the late Susan Brown) with no direct family ties introduced beyond her cousin Lorena Sharpe Barrington (Shelley Taylor Morgan). An official first air date for Slezak has not been announced.

One was a doctor, one was a detective and the third was the replacement for the second. Mind you, we won with the third.

After surging to season highs one week earlier among Women 18-49 and Women 25-54, and placing second in both categories, “General Hospital” fell back down to earth during the week of August 25-29, 2025, seeing the largest week-to-week drop across daytime broadcast, according to the latest figures released by Nielsen. For the week, “General Hospital” averaged 1.798 million viewers, down 92,000 viewers compared to one week earlier. In the key demos, the soap’s 0.17 rating among Women 18-49 was down -0.09 week-to-week (0.17 rating vs. 0.26 rating), and its 0.29 rating among Women 25-54 saw a decrease of -0.08 week-to-week (0.29 rating vs. 0.37 rating). Compared to the same week last year, the long-running drama series was down -111,000 viewers, down -0.03 among Women 18-49 (0.17 rating vs. 0.20 rating) and down -0.04 among Women 25-54 (0.29 rating vs. 0.33 rating). That said, “General Hospital” was impacted by breaking ABC News coverage on Wednesday, August 27 and Thursday, August 28, resulting in a portion of the country not being able to watch the happenings in Port Charles, which saw the full episode on both days to be unlocked on the network’s official website. “The Young and the Restless” also saw week-to-week drops across the board and set a new season low among Total Viewers. With just 2.831 million viewers tuning in, the drama series was down -106,000 viewers week-to-week and down -110,000 compared to the same week last year. Demographically, the show marked the second largest week-to-week drop, down -0.05 among Women 18-49 (0.22 rating vs. 0.27 rating) and Women 25-54 (0.36 rating vs. 0.41 rating), with the latter setting a new season low. Like “General Hospital,” “The Young and the Restless” was also impacted by breaking CBS News coverage on Wednesday, August 27. On the positive side, “The Bold and the Beautiful” averaged 2.502 million viewers, up +76,000 week-to-week, while “Beyond the Gates” also saw week-to-week gains, up +24,000 viewers, with the new series averaging 1.539 million viewers. “The Bold and the Beautiful” was flat with its week ago performance among Women 18-49 (0.21 rating), and saw a minor drop week-to-week among Women 25-54 (0.34 rating vs. 0.35 rating). Compared to the same week last year, “The Bold and the Beautiful” saw the largest year-over-year drop among Women 25-54 (0.34 rating vs. 0.42 rating), and saw a minor drop among Women 18-49 (0.21 rating vs. 0.23 rating). With the show airing amended telecasts throughout the week due to breaking ABC News coverage on Wednesday, August 27 and Thursday, August 28, which were retitled “GMA3-ABC,” plus the Friday, August 29 broadcast being excluded due to Labor Day weekend, “GMA3” set a new series low. The news program averaged a mere 1.095 million viewers for its Monday, August 25 and Tuesday, August 26 broadcasts, which was just +30,000 more viewers than that of competing “NBC News Daily” (1.065 million). “GMA3” aired repeats during the comparable week last year. Wrap-Up What follows is a breakdown of how the daytime broadcast shows performed during the week of August 25-29, 2025 among Women 18-49 rating, Women 25-54 rating, including week-to-week and year-over-year performance comparisons. Note*: Figures under the 2024 column for “Beyond the Gates” are compared to the performance of the former time slot occupant, “The Talk,” which aired amended repeats during the comparable week last year. “TODAY with Jenna & Friends” is compared with the performance of its predecessor, “TODAY with Hoda & Jenna.” Meanwhile, “GMA3” is compared with the performance of its predecessor, “GMA3: What You Need to Know.” With the game show airing amended repeats, demos for “Let’s Make a Deal” were not available. The show also aired amended repeats during the same week last year. “The Price is Right” also aired amended repeats during the comparable week last year.

The casting spree at “The Young and the Restless” continues with the long-running drama series landing “General Hospital” alum Matt Cohen (ex-Griffin Munro), who will play the newly created role of Detective Burrow, who is tasked with investigating a major case involving several prominent players in Genoa City. According to Entertainment Weekly, which first reported the news, Cohen began taping at the show’s Television City studio last week and will make his first appearance on the Thursday, October 16 episode. Cohen’s casting comes as the show needed someone new to represent law enforcement in town following the July death of Phillip “Chance” Chancellor IV (Conner Floyd), who was murdered in cold blood during a confrontation with Carter (Vincent Stalba), Cane’s (Billy Flynn) assistant, while a majority of characters were held captive in Nice, France. Appearing on “General Hospital” from 2016-2019 as Dr. Griffin Munro, Cohen’s credits include roles on “90210,” “The Client List,” “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders,” “Supernatural,” “How to Get Away with Murder” and “The O.C.,” among others. For three seasons, Cohen portrayed Aiden Dennison in the teen drama series “South of Nowhere,” which aired on The N, an overnight programming block on cable network Noggin, from 2005-2008. The series also starred “The Bold and the Beautiful” alum Maeve Quinlan (ex-Megan Conley). From 2019-2023, Cohen appeared as a correspondent for the syndicated entertainment news program “Entertainment Tonight.” Previously, he appeared as a guest co-host on “Extra.” Cohen’s joining “The Young and the Restless” marks the fourth major casting announcement to come out of the 52-year-old drama series in recent days, which includes three former “General Hospital” actors who have previously worked with Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers), who appeared as Nina Reeves on the 62-year-old soap from 2014-2019. Matt Cohen, Michelle Stafford Michael Yada/ABC Last week, the show announced it had hired former “Days of our Lives” star Tamara Braun (ex-Ava Vitali) to play the newly created role of Sienna Bacall, a woman who has “personal connections to several characters” in Genoa City. She began taping this week and is set to air later this fall. Braun previously appeared on “General Hospital” as Kim Nero from 2017-2019, and as Carly Corinthos from 2001-2005. Earlier this week, the show cast another “Days of our Lives” alum, Lucas Adams (ex-Tripp Dalton), to play a recast Noah Newman, the eldest child of Nicholas Newman (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon Newman (Sharon Case). Adams will begin taping this month, and his first air date is also slated for sometime later this fall. In addition to Adams and Braun, “The Young and the Restless” has also cast Roger Howarth, who is set to play a mystery role. Howarth previously appeared on “General Hospital” as multiple characters over a 12-year span, including as Franco Baldwin, who was once involved with Stafford’s Nina Reeves. “I could not be happier to be posting this!! Not only because these two are extra extraordinary actors, but because they are my friends!!” commented Stafford in a post on Instagram, following news of Braun and Howarth’s casting. “Our show just got a little more bad ass. Just so you know, more surprises to come,” she continued, while using the official “Y&R” hashtag and the hashtag “Get Ready.” Note: The post ‘General Hospital’ Alum Matt Cohen Joins ‘The Young And The Restless’ As New Law Enforcer In Genoa City appeared first on the Soap Opera Network website.

I'm wondering if this is a FOJ situation coming to fruition with all these former GHers being cast, or if this is another one of Josh's novelist fetish storylines where all these people are getting their stories told through Traci's words for a book she's writing.

Tracey Thomson should be appearing in the credits as soon as next week, I believe, either as executive and co-head writer, or just executive producer, replacing Bob Guza.

Nominations for “The 52nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards” were first announced in July, with the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS), the organization behind the awards show, announcing that the ceremony would take place on Friday, October 17 in Pasadena. Soap Opera Network has since learned that the awards show will return to the Pasadena Civic Auditorium with the ceremony streaming live beginning at 7:00 p.m. ET/4:00 p.m. PT. As previously reported, the organization will hold a single ceremony celebrating everyone in front of and behind the camera. In previous years, the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which primarily honored those working behind the scenes, took place on a separate date, either before or after the main televised ceremony. Meanwhile, watch.theemmys.tv and its associated apps will be the exclusive method to watch this year’s telecast, despite inaccuracies shared online indicating CBS would once again carry the telecast – the network will launch all-new seasons of its Friday dramas the same night as the Daytime Emmys. The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences “We’re excited to recognize the exceptional individuals and teams who make daytime television great every year and in some cases, every day,” said Adam Sharp, President and CEO of NATAS, at the time nominations were released. He added, “As the Daytime landscape continues to expand, we’re excited to introduce new categories to recognize the boundary-pushing work being done, and we’re enthusiastic to convene with and celebrate the whole Daytime community in one ceremony.” Among daytime dramas, “The Young and the Restless” leads with 19 nominations, followed by “General Hospital” with 16, “Days of our Lives” with 13 and “The Bold and the Beautiful” with four. “The Bay” and “Neighbours” each received just one nomination. While much has been discussed about a drop in nominations for “The Bold and the Beautiful,” the reason is simply due to NTAS enforcing a longstanding rule, where any category that has fewer than ten (10) submissions, no more than 50% of submitted entries may be nominated. This is why “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “The Bay,” and “Neighbours” did not receive nominations in the Daytime Drama, Writing and Directing categories, as they had in prior years, particularly in the case of the former two shows. According to NATAS, the enforcement of the rule will “ensure the integrity of NATAS competitions and maintain the reputation of excellence for nominees.” Deborah Norville, who recently stepped down as anchor of “Inside Edition” after 30 years, will be this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. Beyond the Gates Eligibility Just ahead of the nominations announcement in July, NATAS made note of two key items in a post on X (formerly Twitter), including: The eligibility window for the Daytime Emmys was calendar year 2024, so “Beyond the Gates” isn’t eligible for this year’s nominations. The series will be eligible based on calendar year 2025 for next year’s awards show, “The 53rd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards.” All Daytime Emmy information will now be released via the @TheEmmys handle, with the organization formally discontinuing the use of the @DaytimeEmmys handle. No Broadcast Partner While CBS had previously broadcast the ceremony every year since 2020, and 18 times overall, the network will not carry the awards show this year, and it will not stream via Paramount+ either, as the network has not signed a new broadcasting agreement with NATAS. “The 52nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards” will be available to stream with no television provider required as viewers at home can watch the telecast from their mobile devices, Smart TVs and many other connected devices such as Apple TV, Roku, Android TV, Fire TV, Chromecast, iPone, iPad, Android or online via watch.theemmys.tv. The website houses all past live Emmy events, past events, winner interviews, behind-the-scenes features, and more.
