Why has ABC suddenly been airing older GH episodes, complete with an announcement to air the New Year's Eve '97 episode this upcoming New Year's?
Because that's what they do over the holidays. Not because of a FB page.

Best ACA lawsuit explainer I've seen is from @sarahkliff. Screamy headlines are... fun, I guess, but ACA reporters, like GOP AGs, knew O'Connor would rule this way. Ruling itself doesn't halt ACA. Higher courts expected to laugh this out of existence. https://t.co/bvv098d1k5

I'm a little stunned but I'm seeing comments (and a few articles) about Lecy all over calling her the breakout star of this season - and I think it's kinda true. They've given Becky's story major thrust. I never thought I'd say that about that character ever again after Season 5 of the old show.

According to the site staff in the comments section at TV Line, the show remains ABC's #1 comedy and #2 show in their key demographics. Which we knew, actually, it's been reported before but some people didn't.
